It’s tough hitting an age where you have to begin saying goodbye to many of those with whom you grew up. He was a real talent, and Bat out of Hell will forever be one of the soundtracks of my high school years.

Meat Loaf RIP
- Thread starter Oddly
- Start date
Another one passes away. I still remember where I was and who I was with the first time I heard this tune, I thought this tune was amazing and one of the funniest things I'd ever heard and so true to life. This tune wasn't just released, it exploded.
He was also in the great Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Legendary singer Meat Loaf has died aged 74 after becoming 'seriously ill' with Covid-19 with his wife Deborah by his side.

Bat out of Hell was the first album I bought from Peaches, the amazing new record store that came to southern CT way back when. My 14 year old self played it a million times, and it remains in regular rotation to this day. Dude gave it all on stage!
Gonna watch Rocky Horror tonight.

Major bummer! I was 11 when I heard/saw that song and it absolutely blew me away. Rock on Master Loaf.
Will raise a glass of Bourbon tonight, in his memory.
R.I.P. to a guy who defined the teenage years for millions.
I liked him in The Fight Club. “His name was Robert Paulson”.

Bat Out of Hell is still a favorite of mine. Sad news indeed, RIP sir for all the memories tied to those songs!
When I was a freshman in high school, there was a DJ on KOFM out of Oklahoma City (Lester "Boogie" Michaels, for those familiar with that station back in '80) who would play "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" every night at 10:00 pm. I would listen almost every night. RIP, Michael Aday.
A great performer who will be missed by anyone who saw him in concert or dropped the needle on that phenomenal
Bat Out of Hell album. I played mine so many times I had to buy a replacement.
R.I.P.

I liked the story that his wife asked him do loose a few pounds and in response,
he wrote "I'd do anything for love(but I won't do that)".

Guess the big man can finally sleep on it.
RIP.
RIP.
Oh no!
His music was an integral part of my High School years starting with his performance in TRHPS, just like @bobyoung53 mentioned. "Bat Out of Hell" is such a great album - so cool, so different. His collaborations with Jim Steinman were amazing.
RIP, MLA.
