..and thank you for the soundtrack of my teens. Found myself driving a road the other day with BOOH playing in my car and realised I'd ridden that very same road on my motorcycle with a Walkman feeding the same song into my helmet... about 35 years before!
I grow up with his music. I was 13 , and heard "Bat out of hell", my first album ever. I still listen to his outrageous voice. He was a phenomenum. He had the gift to touch your soul.
Thank god for recordings like this. He rarely did this song live & when he did he skipped the verse about his Father. He once said in an interview that it was to painful to sing. One of the best story telling voices of all time! We were lucky to have him. RIP Meatloaf!
I just turned 50. I am so thankful I had the opportunity to listen to Meatloaf in my lifetime. The man should always be remembered. He was in my own opinion, one of the male vocalist ever. He sang like his life depended on it. I am grateful to RUclips for keeping this great man alive years after he is gone. Rest in Peace Sir. You are the light that shone ever so brightly in this world.
I really like the line, but the best lyric I ever heard was "As the blood formed a rose with the sweat from my nose on the face of a china white plate, I returned to a time where hope was a friend, instead of this bitch who I hate" ....
I'd just like to say that Jim Steinman and Meatloaf are both incredible artists, but when they get together they are literally greater than the sum of their parts. Thank heaven I lived to experience them together.
wow..I get ridiculed allot for him being my all time favorite performer but I say you watch this and tell me how this isn't perfect. every word, every movement is telling the story and it's beautiful.
Jay B I know! Why do so many people rag on him! He’s an amazing artist. The only part of this performance I didn’t enjoy was the female singer. It just wasn’t needed. At least that was short. lol
must have played this song about 1000 times over the years, it reminds me so much of long car journeys with my dad when I was only about 8 or 9… you simply don’t get music like this anymore - meat loaf was my first real hero, will miss you forever, & will play your songs until the end of time - RIP Sir x
This is what music lacks today, passion feeling. You can see in meats performance here he gave everything he had and more. In my opinion the best performance of all time
I won't even go as far to call today's music, CRAP is more like it. Music from artists like Meat Loaf will live on forever instead of Bullshit gimmick money grabbing fake trash of today's generation!
I'm only 40 but I've been listening to Meatloaf for as long as I can remember, thanks to my Dad. We'd turn the volume up til. We rattled pictures off the mantle and scared every spider in the house, out of thier webs!!!
She used her body just like a bandage She use my body just like a wound I'll probably never know where she disappeared But I can see rising up out of the back seat now! Just like an angel rising out of a tomb! RIP you legend! I will always love your songs and your voice. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
Yeah, he´s such a great artist. Why do nowadays jumpede-up would-be singers get more attention than him? Meat Loaf and his band and Jim Steinman deserve so much more tribute.
We should be grateful that these videos and recordings are so readily available. This captures Meat Loaf at his absolute best with his vocal ability peaking. The song, as is most of his catalogue, is written perfectly for his style...it really is a beautiful piece lyrically and musically which, due to Father Time, will never be heard in its full glory again live as Meat's voice is well and truly shot. Matters little when I see just how great he was watching this.
Perfection. Probably the best song ever made perfomed by the best singer ever lived. What more can a man ask for. We have to be greatful for the fact that someone put Jim Steiman together with Meatlof.
Meat Loaf has been my favorite artist since I was 9 years old, 24 years ago. That was when I first heard "I Would Do Anything For Love". Everyone else was listening to BSB and I was blasting "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights". He had some hard times and so many health issues but despite it all he really left his mark. I'm so happy I saw him in concert in 2016. His voice wasn't as strong any more but he was still iconic and he put on one helluva show. Rest easy Meat. ❤🦇
He was the first concert I saw in 93 or 94 ..my Dad took me, I was in 6th grade.. sat in the 6th or 8th row orchestra pit..it was mesmerizing lol. Set a very high bar for concerts going forward! I was very picky on what I would go see.
Rest in glory to the man that changed music for me forever. The first time I had ever heard a Meat Loaf song was in the end credits of a bobs burgers episode where they were singing Bat out of hell. And then I heard Meat Loaf sing it and every expectation I had for what a song should be was shattered. I remember discovering later that there was an entire second act after the instrumental intermission that I had skipped over, and I realized that this was unlike any music I had heard before. The passion and conviction that he consistently sang with was stunning, and it was the perfect companion to the epic, melodramatic lyrics and sprawling compositions of Steinman. No one else has ever conveyed the drama and romanticization and grandeur that occupies my brain quite like that man. I have no doubt that his legacy will live on in car radios on the way home from finally hooking up with your high school crush, speakers in the shower at midnight while the woe of life is contemplated, and deep in souls everywhere.
Rest in Peace 🕊 But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone They say he crashed and burned, I swear I'll never learn Why any boy should die so young We were racing; we were soldiers of fortune We got in trouble but we sure got around There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark I think he's right behind me now, and he's gaining ground But it was long ago, and it was far away Oh God, it seems so very far And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car
If you are one of those people who everything in life just goes right all the time, you won't get Meatloaf, sorry, you won't move along. The rest of us, we come here to sooth our souls and share hope.
This Song is forever connected to the biggest tragedy that happened in my life so far. One of the greatest songs ever written and a piece of art that got me through some tough shit
Haha no one is like that man. No matter how rich you are, how talented you are, how hard-working you are, we all deal with things going wrong. However, I get the point. One song that always reminds me of those occasions where it all went wrong.
Such a special song & one of the best performances I’ve ever seen from MeatLoaf. A special voice. They just don’t make singers like this now. RIP Meat & thank you for everything you’ve blessed us with. 🙏🏻
The first time I heard this song Meat Loaf was singing to my soul. A lot of things had happened in my life and this song brought them into focus. I tear up every time I hear this song. Even now Meat Loaf sings with the same heart, soul and passion that he always has. I was hooked and fell in love in the '70's and I'm still hooked and in love today. Once you realize the depth of soul and passion in his music you are hooked for life. He is a Legend.
WOW!!!!!! This performance was/is absolutely incredible!! There will never be another guy to match this guys performances. Never had emotions like this before watching or listening to music,brought tears to my eyes!! RIP Big Man,you brought joy to many & will do forever 👏🏻👏🏻
I've watched alot of meatloaf singing live and this is my favourite. He gets so into the song and everything about it is perfect. These songs will be played forever I've no doubt
I've watched this video several times a day since he passed away, and still cry every single time I watch this. This song has to be the most amazing song ever written, and Meat sings it with such passion, he means every word. God I miss you Meat ❤❤❤💔💔💔 xxx
That performance was awesome! But Meat Loaf had and has a lot of problems with his voice, this is my absolute favorite live performance on RUclips by him, I'd love to see some links to prove me wrong. I saw him live in Stuttgart Germany when I was maybe 10 Years old (22 now) and it was awesome!
For the longest time, I actually thought this song was based on his memories.. That just proves the passion he sung with... The best ever. RIP Meat... you are missed.
I remember the first time I ever heard Meat Loaf (Marvin Lee Aday) back in 1977, and I was blown away. Still to this day, almost 40 years later I still love and listen to his music. So many fond memories with Meat Loaf playing on the stereo.
I must tell you, that this is one of the few Songs, that leads me to tears. I admire Meat for such a long time. And so do I for Jim Steinman. With the best greetings Form Bavaria, Germany.
Grüße auch aus Bayern, Augsburg. Ich habe Meat Loaf erst vor ein paar Wochen entdeckt für mich. Es war wie eine Offenbarung für mich, als ob ich ihn mein ganzes Leben lang gesucht hätte. Klingt jetzt bisschen pathetisch, naja. Ist aber so. Ich bin so traurig, dass ich ihn wohl nicht mehr live erleben werden darf. :(
Uuuh, I found the German Fanclub here in the comments. Guess I'm obliged to reply now and greet from Germany :) I've listened to this song for years and I just now found out that the lyrics about the father are kinda true...
@@Lamm139 Hi aus der Ammersee Region. Meat Loaf ist eine Ausnahmeerscheinung im Rock Business. Nicht nur, dass er gut ist, ohne Steinmann wäre er nicht so beliebt geworden.
@@irda8182 Beim 1. Satz stimme ich mit dir überein. Der 2. Satz ist spekulativ. Ich denke Meat Loaf ist begabt und fleißig genug, dass er seinen Weg gefunden hätte. Aber ich glaube auch, dass es Gottes Wille und Plan war, dass Steinman und Meat Loaf zusammentrafen. Vielleicht wäre auch Steinman nicht so bekannt geworden ohne Meat Loaf. Und diese Symbiose war eine Notwendigkeit für beide - auch in freundschaftlicher, privater Hinsicht.
I've been listenening to this for the whole evening now and I'm not feeling sorry for my neighbors, not even the slightest bit. The whole song is amazing, but when it gets to its climaxes it's almost unbelievably great.
Phenomenal!!! No Singer can put such deep Emotions in his Singing, in this Songs, in this lyrics, and still strike the right Note, like Meat Loaf. Though he never wrote the Lyrics, this guy got me believin' every word he sang.
He delivered all his passion and memories in this performance,his story touched my heart and brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for sharing this masterpiece!
This is one of my favorite that he dose and it came out at the perfect time for me. My brother who was also my best friend had just killed himself and my moms boyfriend at the time was abusive so this song just helped me feel like I was not alone in the world. It helped make my life barrable in my teens when my selective mutisim was so bad that I could not even ask my mom for simple items I needed. I will always love this song and all of meatloafs music.
Thank you for this song . You are my hero 💕🤘💕. Vergessen werde ich dich nie. 35 Jahre war ich dir und deiner Musik treu und es werden noch viele Jahre hinzukommen bis zu meinem Tod. I love you 💔🖤💔
Just sit there and think that this song has no more than 10mil wievs on yt while cardi b or any new singers have almost bilions ! Sit and think about that ! It's only been like 30 years since his masterpieces. Look at music now and then sit and think what whould become in 30 more years ! I'm 26 and I say this proudly ! I love meatloaf and any other singer who can perform live better than the actual song !
As a child this song made me inexplicably emotional and extremely sad. I hated hearing it. As an adult, just a few years into adulthood, I lost my best friend in a car accident, and then I understood. He was a musician, and unfortunately I don't think we ever spoke about Meat Loaf.
I personally think that the American hippie generation needs to be smacked for ignoring this talented man. P.S., thanks England for giving him back to us. America is forever in your debt.
It's the best bit.. The bird at back.. Does she turn away at that moment for his shinning moment.. Or because she might crumble and not be able to hold herself... ❤
I think he is fabulous. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, and some of the songs are funny, some are really moving. All stories. So well performed and sung.
2022 - Sleep well big man. One of the greatest voices we'll ever hear.
RIP
Love that. Sleep well.
..and thank you for the soundtrack of my teens. Found myself driving a road the other day with BOOH playing in my car and realised I'd ridden that very same road on my motorcycle with a Walkman feeding the same song into my helmet... about 35 years before!
He was, he is, he will be..one of the greatest voices on this Planet. Rip my Idol.❤❤
How many are here today remembering him after his passing? Love this song so much
We will always be here , same as his music.
I remember. ❤
I grow up with his music. I was 13 , and heard "Bat out of hell", my first album ever. I still listen to his outrageous voice. He was a phenomenum. He had the gift to touch your soul.
@@niri9451 correct! He was an underrated artist, sadly...
I listen to his songs on RUclips all the time. He had a wonderful voice.
Thank god for recordings like this. He rarely did this song live & when he did he skipped the verse about his Father. He once said in an interview that it was to painful to sing. One of the best story telling voices of all time! We were lucky to have him. RIP Meatloaf!
He said once he believed it was Jims best song. I think it was.

I agree!
Absolutely
Meat once said he believe it to be Jims best song. I agree.
And the video.... Full version 😓
I just turned 50.
I am so thankful I had the opportunity to listen to Meatloaf in my lifetime.
The man should always be remembered.
He was in my own opinion, one of the male vocalist ever.
He sang like his life depended on it.
I am grateful to RUclips for keeping this great man alive years after he is gone.
Rest in Peace Sir.
You are the light that shone ever so brightly in this world.
If this performance doesn't make you cry, are you even human 💔💔😪😪 this is passion, every word he sings he means. Miss you Meat 💔💔❤❤🎵🎵👌👌
We all miss Meat :(
He so freaking amazing
Yep tears every time
Before he even starts singing 😢

‘He was dangerous and drunk and defeated and corroded by failure and envy and hate’ best line ever!
ur on it mate x

I agree with you, my favorite line will always be “rising up out of the back seat like an Angel rising up from a tomb” that shit hits hard
The line just before is just an amazing image.
One of the best and gone too soon.
My dad died of alcoholism In 2016 without talking ill he loved meatloaf R.I.P

What do they know? That anybody with ears and class don't, Nothing but Pure Talent and a voice that is nothing but a living Legend Xxz
@@paulmorris8775 You are so right, he is great
Jim Steinman is a musical Genius! Thank God we had Meatloaf to express his 'vision'!
Steinman would have been a great songwriter without Meatloaf, he wrote for other artists as well.
well said =)
"Bad for Good" is a 1981 album by American songwriter Jim Steinman. Steinman wrote all of the songs and performed on most. Great Album !!
Bonnie Tyler did it too
Nothing to add
Very sad to head of Meatloaf's passing today. Nobody put on a performance like him and nobody ever will. RIP.
must have played this song about 1000 times over the years, it reminds me so much of long car journeys with my dad when I was only about 8 or 9… you simply don’t get music like this anymore - meat loaf was my first real hero, will miss you forever, & will play your songs until the end of time - RIP Sir x
So glad I had the pleasure in going to one of his concerts. It was not long after Bat Out Of Hell II came out. Absolutely incredible
Well done man
One of the most powerful songs ever written, Steinman is a genius.
The world has lost such an amazing artist 😪
Probably his best live performance ever. Hurts so much seeing him today not being able to do that anymore 😔
Unfortunately age gets us all eventually
This is what music lacks today, passion feeling. You can see in meats performance here he gave everything he had and more. In my opinion the best performance of all time
"music today is trash, born in le wrong generation!!!11!!1"
Get that out of here. So much hate over nothing.
2000man24 so true couldn't of said it any better still one of my favorite
Agree with you
People still have passion in their singing in this day and age. What era are you living in, man?
I won't even go as far to call today's music, CRAP is more like it. Music from artists like Meat Loaf will live on forever instead of Bullshit gimmick money grabbing fake trash of today's generation!

Age doesn't not matter
She used her body just like a bandage
She use my body just like a wound
I'll probably never know where she disappeared
But I can see rising up out of the back seat now!
Just like an angel rising out of a tomb!
RIP you legend! I will always love your songs and your voice. FOR CRYING OUT LOUD!
What a legend. you can feel every word of this mans voice, such emotion
Yeah, he´s such a great artist. Why do nowadays jumpede-up would-be singers get more attention than him? Meat Loaf and his band and Jim Steinman deserve so much more tribute.
Kirsty Clough I agree
You got good taste Kirsty and you know what ur talking about!
Kirsty Clough Meat Loaf sing slow song, it’s heartfelt and inspiring! It’s driving women nuts 😍🤪😜
No one else can put such emotion into a song like Meat Loaf !
Jim Steinman said that this is the best song he ever has written :-) Awesome!!!
I think I would have to agree with Jim.
I would say second. Total eclipse of the heart
BritneysTearsHC I wish Jim Steinman write more songs for Meat Loaf. Bat Out OF HELL OBJECT IN THE EAR MIRROR ITS ALL COMING BACK TO ME
Agreed
There is a very liberating message in this song.
It’s his best work.
one of the best rock ballads ever
And now - im 31 - i could hate me for this but:
Fukking youth doesnt even know what music is!!!;D
I teach 7th grade, and they don't even know who Meatloaf is.......
I listen to this guy when I was 6 years old, now I'm 21.
This guy is great.
the music is just... legendary...
Jennifer Sinclair they don't serve meatloaf anymore ?
Then TEACH them!
He left it all out there on stage always. Thank you Meat Loaf R.I.P.
RIP, this song seems all the more poignant today.
We should be grateful that these videos and recordings are so readily available. This captures Meat Loaf at his absolute best with his vocal ability peaking. The song, as is most of his catalogue, is written perfectly for his style...it really is a beautiful piece lyrically and musically which, due to Father Time, will never be heard in its full glory again live as Meat's voice is well and truly shot.

Rest in Peace 🕊
But I can still recall the sting of all the tears when he was gone
They say he crashed and burned, I swear I'll never learn
Why any boy should die so young
We were racing; we were soldiers of fortune
We got in trouble but we sure got around
There are times I think I see him peeling out of the dark
I think he's right behind me now, and he's gaining ground
But it was long ago, and it was far away
Oh God, it seems so very far
And if life is just a highway, then the soul is just a car

As an adult, just a few years into adulthood, I lost my best friend in a car accident, and then I understood.
He was a musician, and unfortunately I don't think we ever spoke about Meat Loaf.
There are some great metaphors in this song
+jhunt6666 some hard memories
+schnurrecat You Got That Right Brother..kills Me to listen to it, but I have to.
I personally think that the American hippie generation needs to be smacked for ignoring this talented man. P.S., thanks England for giving him back to us. America is forever in your debt.
Agreed. Fuck the hipps
what a performance. You are simply a legend
This song cuts deep into the soul.......and everything I feel comes back.....
This is not only one of the best songs ever written, it is more than a song!
Thank you, Meat Loaf, for this greatness...
Was für ein toller Song und was für eine grandiose und legendäre Darbietung. Wahnsinn 🤗
Incredible performance. RIP Legend.
I understand this song very well my dad was a drunk and abusive so I know his pain very well
Watching this in tears as i just heard the news of your death. We lost another legend. Thank you for your passion and all the memories 🙏
I love Meatloaf. He sings with such passion and gives it his all.
It's been a year yesterday since your passing and I still listen to yoy everyday Loaf
Jim was a genious, and Meatloaf had adopted Jim’s story as his own and sang it with conviction and passion. A duet made in heaven, or hell, I suppose.
This moment at 6m 56s ... goosebumps ... every fu**ing time goosebumps
chibihikari1 same here
So much passion in his performances. Few come close. You're right. Goosebumps.
Goosebumps and tearing up. Absolutely fkn incredible
It's the best bit..
The bird at back.. Does she turn away at that moment for his shinning moment..
Or because she might crumble and not be able to hold herself...
❤
Only Meatloaf can strike your soul with every single word.
This moved me to Tears. thank you Meat Loaf :')
Isn't he just amazing?, so much compassion within every song.
One of my all time favourites... Meat Loaf is so great.
I think he is fabulous. He doesn’t take himself too seriously, and some of the songs are funny, some are really moving. All stories. So well performed and sung.
Tears in my eyes. A song feeling like a life time. Thanks Meatloaf, one of the greatest Rock and Roll artists of all time!
Absolutely world class what a performance
One of the GREATEST song on planet Earth!
Brought tears to my eyes. Mesmerizing performance!
