      Jim Steinmann was the composer of what you very accurately pointed out was Rock Opera. He composed most of Meatloaf's songs. They were high concept and made the hair on the back of your neck stand up. Steinman said referring to meat Loaf: "If you want 350 pound, heroic, Wagnerian Rock this is it." (paraphrased) Steinman is the long-haired piano player in the videos. The female singer in "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" was Karla DeVito who toured with Meatloaf and was a wonderful singer. However she was lip synching to Ellen Foley's vocals on the video. Ellen Foley played Billie Young the public defender in the early episodes of the TV show, "Night Court." Steinman also composed Bonnie Tyler's similar high-concept songs.

    One does not "listen" to Meatloaf, one "EXPERIENCES" Meatloaf... The Whole Album is about a man and a woman's relationship. It goes, in order from this (a man dying in a motorcycle accident), the first song, to the memories of his life and his love. He did not write these songs, (the Piano Player did), but he embodied them like nobody else ever could.

    The goal behind this song was to write and perform “the ultimate motorcycle crash song”. Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf definitely achieved that.
    I know you recorded this reaction on the day he died, and to hear you (Jordan) interpret the lyrics and say “he didn’t make it” crushed me. I’ve long known the meaning of the song, but to hear him sing about his own death on the day he died … not to be insensitive, but… is theatrical in only a way Meat Loaf would want it.

      I totally agree with you I think it's wonderful to play tribute to somebody who has passed away on the same day. We all played tribute to John Lennon when he passed away on a cold winter's night 12/8/80. I think that any great artist especially someone so well known as John Lennon would like to have his fans pay tribute to him on the day that he dies, by playing the songs that he is famous for. Meatloaf with me missed by a lot of people, we grew up with him.

    If you listen to the piano and drums, that’s Roy Bittan and Max Weinberg of the E Street Band. Meatloaf and Steinman apparently loved the sound from Born to Run, and in 1977 Bruce was still breaking up with Mike Appel, couldn’t record, and they were available. Bat Out of Hell was lightning in a bottle! And Meatloaf was a musical theatre trained actor. It shows.

    That motorcycle sound was actually the beginning of the guitar solo, played by producer Todd Rundgren.

    Next song has to be "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that." And just trust me, if you want Meatloaf at his most theatrical, watch the full length official video for that song!"
    I have to add that it is Meatloaf with songs composed by Jim Steinman that made the music what it was. It was really a team. Meatloaf without Jim Steinman was not nearly as amazing. Sort of like the team of Bernie Taupin writing Elton John songs. Rest in peace to both of them.

    Meatloaf learnt his stage presents by 4 years on Broadway with the rocky horror show and a few years before that with hair (ask your grandparents) and the whole album was written by Jim Steinman the guitar that sounds like a motor bike is played by Todd Rudgren. Meatloaf was also in the movie version of the Rocky horror picture show and sadly left us to soon but the brightest stars go out first. R.I.P MEATLOF.

    Ah, Meat Loaf. Powerhouse performer, powerhouse vocalist, powerhouse of a man...and yet privately he was a shy person with social anxiety, who ran away from home as a teenager after his mother died.
    Actually, Jim Steinman (seen at the piano) wrote all the songs, but Meat delivered them in a way that made you feel like you were right in that story with him. Both remarkable men in their own rights, but together they made magic. They'll both be a big miss.
    Edit: and yes, Meat could remove a jacket like nobody's business.

  • @mjw975

    This is the first song of the album. In my interpretation, this song sets up the rest of the album. Every other song is his life flashing before his eyes, before he takes his last breath. Again, the two main themes of the album - love and time. It is a concept album and it is meant to be listened to in order. So now you have to do the last song - For Crying Out Loud (You know I love you.). The two songs are perfect bookends.

    The theatricality is inseparable from the music the way he and songwriter Jim Steinman did it. Their later videos capture that poignantly. "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" is a phenomenal example of this - he and Marion Raven are phenomenal, the music is beyond beautiful and the images stay with you. It's a musical masterpiece and short film.

    LEGENDARY!!!
    "Bat Out Of Hell" was released in October, 1977. I was a 16 year old high school junior and I had no idea way back then the impact these songs, this music, would have on me. Now, nearly 45 years later, I understand and appreciate how a song can grow with you. I loved "Bat Out Of Hell" when it was released because it was like nothing I had ever heard. Oh...but now at 60 years old, I have led a life. I have loved and lost, I have cried and rejoiced. These songs have grown with me and became more impacting as my life experiences accumulated.
    God Bless Marvin Lee Aday (Meat Loaf). God Bless Jim Steinman.
    From The Righteous Brothers song "Rock and Roll Heaven", lyrics by Alan O'Day and Johnny Stevenson
    "If you believe in forever
    Then life is just a one-night stand
    If there's a rock and roll heaven
    Well you know they've got a hell of a band..."
