A one hit wonder yes indeed...

So you can only remember one song from Bat out of Hell that sold 47 million.  Can't recall I'd do anything for love that was no 1  in 28 countries and off an album that sold 15 million.  Have no recollection of numerous less noteworthy hits e.g. Dead Ringer for Love Top 5. Come on Hammer time. 

Bat out of hell, literally one of a handful of albums that made up the soundtrack of my younger life.

No matter who dies, you always get one or two <deleted> turn up with disparaging comments.

I think the name you are looking for - and was <deleted> was ...

Long form - Richard Cranium

Short form - ...

Just months before his death, Meat Loaf opened up about being “scared to death” of COVID—yet he claimed he’d “rather die” than have to deal with quarantine. During an interview with the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette published in August 2021, he also labeled face masks a “nuisance.”

 

Sad to see him pass on but if it's true that he died from covid related illness this is another case of Darwinism thinning the herd. RIP.

Yes but they only show their ignorance by calling him a one hit wonder .

For folks around my age, his songs, many arranged by Jim Steinman, were almost like anthems and even now I can recite the words of some of his most popular numbers, he was that influential in my musical life anyway.

 

Sad that he has departed this mortal coil, however maybe he will get to ride his "silver-black phantom bike" in heaven or hell. RIP Meatloaf.

Agree with that for me also..............AND if you get on to BBC iPlayer there is a doco/tribute to Meatloaf and it has clips of his live performances even going back to The Rocky Horror Show.

 

And it brought back so many memories. Go take a look.

Not forgetting of course,  Rocky Horror Picture Show.

That was probably why I disliked him so much, but in the 90s I saw a lot of his music VDOs and I came to like his music a lot.

His songs were certainly more than the usual 3 minutes of bubblegum, and the VDOs were great too.

Pity you couldn't leave the covid obsession out of it.

Interesting story about Meatloaf and JFK. 

 

 

Had an hour of Meatloaf on  radio 2 (BBC) this morning, great. ????????????????
