So I started my hour long commute home last night, and I was flipping through the radio dial, trying to find a traffic report. I caught the tail end of one on the station I usually listen to, so I thought I'd listen to a different station until they did their report.
While I was waiting, they played Meatloaf's Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Inspired, I dug out my Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell CD and put it in the player.
Man I love that CD.
For my birthday last year, my husband got me the first Bat Out of Hell CD and his new Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose. The original has such classics as "Bat Out of Hell," "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad," and the long version of "Paradise By the Dashboard Light," with "Let Me Sleep On It" and "Praying For the End of Time." I really enjoy this CD.
The third Bat out of Hell CD has some good songs on it, but most notably is the "Album version" of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now." I was especially excited about this, because I always liked that song, but I have such a strong loathing for Celine Dion that I couldn't fully enjoy it.
But by far my favorite in the trilogy is the second CD. When I was in high school I fell in love with the video for "I Would Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)." Here's the YouTube video if anyone is interested. (Searching for that, I just learned that Michael Bay directed that.) Turns out, the guy who wrote that song also wrote "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" (and apparently has a penchant for long song titles). That makes sense, they always reminded me of one another. But my favorite track on that CD is "Wasted Youth." It's not a song, just a recitation. And it's pretty awesome. Here is the YouTube of John Steinman reciting it, from the CD. For some reason, the volume on it is rather low, you might have to turn it up.
So, here is my confession. I love Meatloaf. I even think he's attractive. Yeah, he's a bit chunky, but that man has a set of pipes on him like no one else. He can turn me on just by singing. Not even the sight of him having "man boobs" in Fight Club could turn me completely away from this fine specimen of a man.

I think you'd really enjoy the second. I haven't gotten into the third as much as I would like, I always manage to forget it at home and I don't listen to CD's that much anymore.
I'd probably slide myself around a bit in Meatloaf's cleavage if I found myself naked and straddling his greasy bosom. He'd only be greasy because I imagine he cooks and eats a lot of bacon and sausages with no shirt on; nothing weird, sickos.
Please excuse me while I go and Google this “meatloaf.â€
Meatloaf was ok. I never really dug him that much, but I did like Paradise by the Dashboard Lights and I Would Do Anything for Love, as well as a few other random songs I can never remember the name to.
Wait wait wait... He was Bob in Fight Club?

Yes. Yes he was.
And I wanted him even then.

That's gross Belk
While not a huge one, I've always been a Meat Loaf fan.. I have no clue as to why I've never realized that was him. I've seen Fight Club 10 times probably.
I'm too young to have been touched by this Bat Out Of Hell thing that's caulkchalk full of meaty goodness.

Kyoshindi? Who's that?
Oh wait, the name sounds familiar. Like some one who's dead to me.
Ah, I know who you talking about now. I didn't know the name. Please forgive my brief moment of ineptness on this subject.

"Bat Out of Hell" is one of the great jukebox CDs ever. Meat Loaf in general is music made for getting drunk and playing pool. Great stuff.
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.

There is no way you're that much younger than I am.

Probably not. I just turned 24 earlier this month. When did Meatloaf really get popular?

Prime time was late 70s and 80s.

I love the argument that "I'm too young to have heard that music." It doesn't go away, you yutz.
I wasn't alive in the 40s, but I've heard Big Band music. I've even heard it played live. Just, you know. Not by the original artists.
Never got a chance to hear Mozart play the clubs, but his music is still around, yeah?

But to hear music outside of one's current generation, one must have a desire for culture. That excludes most people born from the late 80s through today. It's not like I can turn on my favorite billboard hits radio station and hear Chuck Berry, you know.
Kaain, just how young ARE you for it to be out of your time? I love Meatloaf. Especially the aforementioned songs.
BTW, Mia, I think you're hearing the wind coming through that cracked window in the corner.

Yeah, before my time.

Yeah, I know. I do have a lot of older 'before my time' music that the kids still listen to nowadays. Meatloaf just isn't the sort of thing that they play at parties so it doesn't really come to mind.

So I youtube "Bat out of hell."
IT seems he is going to be gone in the morning, like a one night stand? That doesn't sound very nice. I'll never understand you kids and you roller rock music.
