I agree. I liked most of his music but not that one, or a few others.
Well that sucks...
He was one of my very favorite artists. I was introduced to him by my mother way back in the mid 70s. She was a big fan as well.
He didn't just sing, he brought a complete and absolute theatrical performance when he was on stage. Every radio station out there butchers his songs because they are always so long and they have to edit them.
This is my favorite version of I Would Do Anything for Love (but I won't do that). The way Meatloaf leaves his everything on stage and how the gorgeous Patti Russo delivers her part is nothing short of spectacular. The way she and Meat converse and "make love" on stage, if you will, is quite phenomenal, especially compared to live concert acts of today. If you went to a Meatloaf concert, you definitely got your money's worth.
If you don't care to hear the entire song (it is lengthy) but just the part I'm referring to, fast forward to around the 6:25 mark...
RIP oh mighty legend. You sir, were a huge influence to me and always in the soundtrack of my youth, my young adulthood as well as my years of late. Whenever I couldn't find anything on the dial, all I had to do is pop in your CD and suddenly, I was transported back to 1975. Thanks for the memories. A part of me died right along with you.

I remember him with the long stringy hair, and didn't really follow him at all after his heyday. Interesting to see him with a normal people haircut.
He was kind of cutting edge for his day, and influenced a lot of artists.

Bummer. Bat out of Hell was an awesome album--as someone said above, part of the soundtrack of my life in my teens and early twenties. RIP, Eddie.
He was one of my favorite artists. I can't tell you how many Bat out of hell cassettes and 8-tracks that I went through.
Loved Meatloaf back in the day. RIP
A live performance of "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" was incredible to see. Thst girl performing with him was a kick butt great vocalist
