    Meatloaf created what is called Rock Opera. The BAT OUT OF HELL ALBUM IS EPIC. TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD IS MY SONG. Many years ago a man dedicated TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD TO ME. He said he wanted me needed me but he'd never fall in love with me. I loved him so I never gave up, eventually he did fall in love with me and asked me to marry him. Sadly he died five days before our wedding from testicular cancer. That was 33yrs ago I MISS HIM EVERY DAY AND HE IS WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE ❤❤❤❤❤. REST IN PEACE VICTOR AND REST IN PEACE MEATLOAF.

      Meat Loaf was also "only" the singer, the music was written bei Jim Steinman. Just listen to other songs from him without Meat Loaf, you still recognize the style.
      For example "Tonight is what it means to be young" (Holly Sherwood) or "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (Bonnie Tyler)

    Fell in love with Meat over 40 years ago.. I'm 71 now got to see him once at Warwick Castle here in UK.. Even queued in the rain to get a signed CD of Bat 111 had to save up to buy the CD player to listen to it a few weeks later he was a singer, story teller, TV Actor, films too, Fight Club, Rocky Horror and others.. a perfectionist. Very intelligent, and so sensitive too. The last time I saw him on TV was just prior to his death on an episode of Ghost Hunters, he was brilliant at that too.. so sadly missed by us all. Just completely broke my heart when I heard of his passing.. Cried all the way through this video, but thank you Sebs I truly enjoyed it

This just happens to be one of my favorite songs of his and I believe the song and video he did after this song was I'd Lie for you ( and that's the truth) and it's like a part 2 to this song. RIP Meatloaf and Jim ❤

    I loved Meatloaf in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    I read an interview with him once...he was talking about volunteering at his kids' schools during their elementary and middle schools years, helping the teachers with staging, directing, costuming, etc. little performances as well as skits involving the kids. He loved it, just as he did participating in their other childhood activities. He sounded like he was a great dad, and I admire him for that.

    The video was directed by Michael Bay, who directed the Transformer movies, among others. So you weren't too far off when you said that you were getting Terminator vibes at the beginning. The imagery is a cross between Bram Stoker's Dracula and Beauty and the Beast. He tells you what he won't do for love right before he tells you that he won't do that. "I'll never forget the way you feel right now.", I'll never lie to you, and that's a fact.", "I'll never do it better than i do it with you.", "I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life." etc. Brilliantly written song, and of course Meatloaf could belt it. Such a showman.

    The best way I can ever describe Meat Loaf is Rock Opera. He was one of the best. I loved seeing him play live. Truly one of the greats. As for what he won't do, listen to the first line in every chorus, for example, "I'll never forget the way you feel right now " in this case, that is what he won't do.

      Agreed. Producers and Singers now cut every corner they can find. What passes for 'pop' music is nothing like what we had back in the day, when artists ACTUALLY PRACTICED for hours on end so they could get it right themselves, rather than relying on the electronic manipulation afterward. SOME artists still do it right but not in Western Pop...

    Meatloaf's music was written by the late great Jim Stienman who's been called the Wagner of Rock because his style was so operatic. Jim and Meat were an on again off again partnership but never better than when they were together. Jim also wrote Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", Air Supply's "Making Love out of Nothing at All" and co-wrote and produced Sister's of Mercy's "More".

Meatloaf was also in a musical. He played Eddy in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and his song was called 'Sweet Patootie'. If you haven't checked out Rocky Horror you need to! It's a brilliant bit of pure madness that's huge fun as long as you don't take it too seriously.

    This song was a huge hit back then. I think 20yrs between hits. But for some reason the mainstream didn't like him so they played this over and over and over to the point people got sick of it. That's how they killed his music. So in this song I think he took the opening lines and moved them to the end of the song. If you heard the last lines first you would understand what the song is about. However would it have been as intriguing? So by moving the opening to the end of the song it kept you wondering and engaged? What do ya'll think? I was in H.S. when this came out.

    You need to check out the album version of this. Twelve minutes of absolute perfection. Both Bat Out of Hell and Bat Out of Hell II are masterpieces. You have to check out Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (he won a Grammy), if you haven't already. Other songs I recommend, either for the channel or just for a listen are I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth), Everything Louder than Everything Else, Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back, Not A Dry Eye In The House, Couldn't Have Said It Better, Man of Steel (his daughter is on this one) and Testify.

    This was his biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart (for all the hits he had, only this one made it to the top 10, as his next biggest charting single was 1978's "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad"), as it became his only #1 hit, spending 5 consecutive weeks at the top spot, from November 6th-December 4th, 1993. If you haven't heard "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" or "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" I highly recommend you listen it.
    Fun fact - if you want to hear a song that was originally written for Meatloaf to perform, but he passed on it, listen to Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back To Me Now."

    To previous comment - Jim Steinman created and was the driving force behind Meatloaf delivered the songs as only Meatloaf and his backing could deliver. Jim Steinman was a genius song writer who past recently, even did an album that was for Meat Loaf when Meat had voice problems - an excellent album that might have be Bat Out Of Hell 2... ...worth finding and listening too.

    Good rock stations, like 98 Rock here in Tampa, play stuff like this.
    They understand that the listeners want all kinds of songs.
    Long/short doesn't matter. Is it good? Does it make you think? Will it pump you up?
    Fitting it in between songs is why we had disc jockeys.
    Execs wanted shorter songs so they could eliminate the necessity of DJs. Now they have nearly destroyed the market that is radio.

    The Bat Out of Hell albums are stories, epics, operas, what have you. They are amazing to listen to in whole. Great for a road trip. My Dad used to play Meatloaf on our road trips from Indiana to California and Oregon.

    @ 11:29 "Movements" is exactly the right word. Opera is a theatrical performance powered by an orchestra, chorus and soloists telling a story without speaking. Everything is sung. Hugely popular in Europe and the forerunner of musicals like Oklahoma and Hello Dolly.

    I remember seeing Meatloaf in an interview shortly before he passed. He explained that, like any actor, he had a character for each song. During the course of a concert, he would have to change characters as many times as there were songs. When you see his videos and his live performances, you can totally see that.

    One you really need to see is Meat Loaf - Dead Ringer for Love also Two Out of Three Ain't Bad. Meatloaf was truly amazing and is so missed. If you haven't seen Rocky Horror Picture Show it is something you need to see. He was in the movie and it was awesome.

      If you do it right (I didn't), you really can have a wasted youth AND a wise and productive old age. Somewhere in Rock and Roll Heaven, Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman are playing everything louder than everything else.

    Major rock opera, written by Jim Steinman, interpreted by Meatloaf. Great music to grow up to. I hadn't seen the video, but it reminds me of "Beauty and the Beast" which i believe is even older than Phantom of the Opera.

  • @pixie3760
    @pixie3760 5 месяцев назад

    I saw Meatloaf live around 1985 or 86. He'd broken his leg the night before when he'd fallen off the stage. The night we went and saw him, he was still jumping around on stage, it probably helped that he didn't stop drinking all night...but it was one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

  • @lisafalcione537
    @lisafalcione537 10 месяцев назад +8

    The album “Bat Out of Hell” is written as an opera. Starting from the first song, it tells a story. Each song tells a part of the story. I’ve been a huge Meatloaf fan since about 1980. Listen to “For Crying Out Loud”. It’s my favorite.

  • @joankisloski6972
    @joankisloski6972 10 месяцев назад +1

    Things Meat Loaf says he will never do in the song:
    Lie to you
    Forget the way you feel right now
    Forgive myself if we don't go all the way tonight
    Do it better than I do it with you
    Stop dreaming of you every night of my life
    See that it's time to move on
    Be screwing around

    No, not weird to listen to music like this in the car. Just think how interesting road trips were! Our music kept us awake and singing and car dancing! The music of the 60's to early 80's has so much experimentation - the whole point was to stand out and be noticed (in a very good way of course). Musicians were exploring blues, rock, Southern rock and it was all so good. Honestly the repetitive nature is why I never gravitated to enjoying pop music. Stayed a rock and roller.

    Absolutely love Meatloaf. He was was one of my favorite singers as a teenager, I think I drove my mom crazy listening to that particular song over and over again. Thanks for bringing back some great memories of my youth. I would really love you to do a reaction of Dimash Qudaibergen, a singer from Kazakhstan. It’s been said he is the best singer in the world today. Most people start out listening to SOS a song that brought him to world fame, when he sung it on a Chinese show, The Singer. However one of my favorite is IKANAIDE , it’s a song he sang in Mandarin, but then he sings it in Japanese, the original version of the song. I love your reaction channel. I will warn you that if you do react to Dimash you have to watch out for copyright issues. But there are ways around that, and I’m sure you could find a way to get around that. Once again thanks for this amazing reaction. Meatloaf is a legend in Rock history. 🎼🎶🎤❤️

    Meat was a classically trained Opera singer. But his size sent him into Heavy Metal. And the music world is better for it.
    His version of “Its All Coming Back to me Now” is goosebump, cold shiver and adrenaline pumping.

    You might want to listen to two songs from a rock and roll movie called Streets of Fire. The songs are Tonight is What it Means to be Young, or Sorcerer. Sorcerer was written by Stevie Nicks and is a slow burn number. The other was written by Jim Steinman who also wrote this number, a lot of stuff for Celine Dion, and Bonnie Tyler.

    Meatloaf has a role in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is a cult classic and worth checking out. You’ve probably heard Time Warp and seeing the film puts it in to context.

    If you like storytelling in music, there’s a band called Ludo who did an album called “Broken Bride”. It’s a 5 track, 30 minute rock opera about a man who loses the woman he loves and tries to travel through time to get her back. It’s freaking EPIC

    The Phantom of the Opera novel was published in 1910. The musical premiered in 1985. This song released in 1993.
    And if you haven't seen the 2004 Phantom of the Opera film, you need to. I remember thinking it sounded like they used recorded music instead of rerecording with a live orchestra, but it's still damn good. Gerard Butler was a great casting decision. And the music and set pieces are iconic.

    In Canada we still hear this on Radio, but it is the recorded versions. I know it was turned ito a Broadway production, but if you grew up with this, they ca'nt take away someting they never owned and say watch this. HE was epic, maybe just maybe it became a Broadway show cause he was celebrated! Weird as he was himself.

    Meatloaf was a awesome actor. Have you ever seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show? Everyone didn't want him to do the movie because of its subject matter but when he found out he would be working with Tim Curry he said he didn't care if it ruined his career he was doing it!!
