I thought he had already died, but I was thinking of Jim Steinman a year or so ago.

Still, pretty sad. Bat Out of Hell is a great album.

God, I wanna say "fuck you" but I know you're just the messenger. I'm fucking upset by this, even if he was a COVID supporter and possibly a Trumper in his last years.

I spent a lot of my young adulthood cranking out Meat Loaf songs at karaoke. My go-to was Paradise by the Dashboard Lights, which is as annoying and long as you'd imagine. Shit would leave me hoarse as fuck, but I LOVED it.

Jim Steinman was a total fucking loss. I'm sad that he and Meat Loaf could never quite reconcile. But Meat Loaf is the face of the band. He's the fucking guy people think of, you know?

He'd had heart conditions for a while, and he's collapsed on stage a few times in the past few years. His voice had degraded because he refused to treat vocal polyps - I don't think he knew how to actually sing, preferring to sing from the throat. But fuck me, I loved this man's music.

The worst part for me is the time I spent with people I don't speak to anymore, where my appreciation of his music was a real sticking point. I don't need them trying to make contact now. I just want to mourn with this bottle of rum and consider the karaoke possibilities when COVID stops fucking my nation in the ass.

For all that was right and wrong about Michael Faraday, he was a great source of entertainment for me and I had a great and genuine appreciation for him. His absence will truly be felt by this drunken motherfucker thousands of miles away from where he lived and died. RIP, you conflicting yet magnificent son of a bitch.

Off the top of my head, a few of my faves are:

Bat Out Of Hell
Surf's Up
Piece of the Action
I'd Like For You (And That's The Truth)
Rock and Roll Hero
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Amnesty is Granted
Going All The Way Is Just The Start
Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through
It's All Coming Back To Me Now
Objects In The Rear View Mirror
Heaven Can Wait
The Monster's Loose

...but he has so many absolutely fantastic songs, it's well worth just diving into his whole back catalogue.

Bat out of Hell is his big hit, you hear meatloaf and Bat out of Hell is his signature song.

Paradise by the Dashboard Light is one of his lengthy epic songs in a similar vein to I'd Do Anything For Love. Much more of a retro 60's rockabilly vibe, like taking your best squeeze down to the malt shop and sharing a milkshake with her. Just with more fucking.

Two Outta Three Ain't Bad is the closest you're gonna get to a traditional ballad from him.

I'm conflicted.

I love his music and am sad that he died, but he was an anti-vaxxer and never got the Covid vaccine.......and he died from Covid. Is it wrong for me to say that even though I loved him and his music, he was also a fucking idiot?

While his name might have been Robert Paulson, he was known as Meatloaf. Besides, Robert Paulsen is the name of Yakko Warners voice actor, so people might get confused.

I didn't know about his anti vax stances till this thread... but yeah definitely feeling two emotions at once. "I'd do anything for love" blew up when I was in HS, especially because of the video and the absence of Wikipedia/message boards making everybody speculate about the lyrics/meanings. I *just* heard "I'm still alive" for the first time after watching the award winning film Drive Angry

RIP Bob's bitch tits.

Very sad news. Tbh his music never really hooked me (though it was a good fit for the delicious camp that was RHPS), and what I'm hearing in this topic is leading me to draw some sad conclusions about him being antivaxx. But he's still an icon, and will be sorely missed.
