BAT OUT OF HELL is a great album and Meat Loaf was a fantastic vocalist.
RIP.
Btw this isn't the time for Branch Covidians to air their hate-filled views.
His body is barely cold and nothing has been proven yet.
Bernie and Elton-yes, Bernie would just be a poet without Elton, Elton would have been perhaps just a studio musician without Bernie
Lennon and McCartney- no, both could sing and write songs (lyrics and music) on their own
He had gorgeous man boobs in Fight Club, he'll be missed.
According to Variety, his actual name is Marvin Lee Aday and the anti-vax story is false. When Jim Steinman passed away, Meatloaf went into deep depression and became a shut in. It's also known that he developed an irregular heart beat, going off his heart meds is probably what did him in.
The irony is Steiman and Aday are both Jewish yet they created Wagnerian rock music. Meatloaf remains rock's only Helgentenor, singing like he did is very stressful, no one else has attempted it.
Bernie and Elton-yes, Bernie would just be a poet without Elton, Elton would have been perhaps just a studio musician without Bernie
Lennon and McCartney- no, both could sing and write songs (lyrics and music) on their own
Clearly the Beatles comparison was not as clear cut. Maybe not early in their careers, but as they matured it seems to me that Paul's songs/songwriting was vastly superior and innovative than John's, starting as early as songs like Yesterday and Michelle.
I think that Paul had a much better chance of being a solo star than John. Plus he was cuter.
Bat out of Hell was a big hit at my grade school birthday party in the 1970s at my house. I also rented the Etobicoke Olympian pool for a couple of hours for some swimming fun for this party.
