BREAKING: Meat Loaf, the rock superstar loved by millions for his “Bat Out of Hell” album and for such theatrical, dark-hearted anthems as “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” and “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad,” has died, his family says on Facebook. https://t.co/WWbxgFgfQL
I got to see Meatloaf perform on one of his first comeback tours in the early 80's at a club called The Nook in Hackettstown NJ.
Me and my buddy wormed our way to the front of the stage only 2-3 feet from Meatloaf performing and sweating up a storm. Th club held maybe 300 people all jammed together watching him do his thing.
Bat Out of Hell was the first rock album (actually 8-track) that I ever owned, and it was a good decision. I'm a big fan of Meat Loaf, and I'm not ashamed to say that I love his music, I'll love it forever, and I need it, I will never leave it. It will make me so happy for the rest of my life. It always takes me away when it's on in my life. [Reply]
