An absolute anthem for a generation of teenaged boys:

Few people know this, but in 1968 Meatloaf [then aged 20] was offered - but turned down - a guaranteed contract with the Metropolitan Opera for a half-million a year ($500,000 was a HUGE amount of money back then! ... equivalent to well-over $7 million today).

He had a lot of my favorite songs in the 80's ! RIP

He was a cool guy, I got to work with him for a few days back in my younger years when we both were in the movie “Leap of Faith” since I was a musician as well he and I hit it off pretty well, he was just a regular guy with a story !

I could eat meatloaf (one word, not two) every day!

That's pretty cool. Did you call him Meat, Mr. Loaf, or Marvin?

My favorite song was “you took the words right out of my mouth”

I discovered that Bat Out of Hell in 1978. I wore out several cassettes of the album.

Back around 1984 I met a tiny little gal; dark haired and wild eyed. Harleys were her favorite bike, BOoH was her favorite album. I had both.

Over the next 4 or 5 months we tried to wear each other out...good times. We wandered apart during a breathing spell.

I still think of that girl from time to time...

Say what you will about Meat Loaf, but the guy had some pipes. He could certainly belt out a song.

Meatloaf was good BUT everything TED NUGENT did was awesome and the wont consider him for the rock n roll hall. Complete bull crap

Well here you get both of 'em. One of my favorites. Derrick and Meatloaf killed it on this one.
