Forget Meatloaf. I knew he was wack even back in the 70's. Back then I was listening to Earth, Wind & Fire, Santana, Elton John, the Eagles, Al Green (and still am, incidentally). Then again, I wasn't sniffing glue so..
Holy Young Goodman Brown, Batman!* Rockin' post, Michele. Guess I'm fortunate to spend almost zero time at bars or weddings these days. Not sure I could cope with such bizarre scenes as you describe.
(*Note for those who don't read as voraciously as I sometimes do: "Young Goodman Brown" is a classic short story by Nathaniel Hawthorne. Michele's account of the wedding re-enactment of "Paradise..." is eerily reminiscent of Hawthorne's frightening tale. And yes, I had to Google before I could remember the title.)
I think meatloaf is the greatest man alive he rocks my world. I would love to meet him one day as if that will ever happen I guess Im gonna have to keep dreaming on I guess. If anybody gets this message I want meatloaf to reply to my email address [edited]
See ya around love Yvonne Capel(Angel)
Here I am again this a real bad habit Ive got on the the go now but anyway my friends call me "Angel" so u can call me that if u like but I am so imspired by meatloaf and Jim Steinman man they are like chalk and cheese. They blend well together not the chalk and cheese cos that would just be disgusting. Sometimes I wonder what the hell is he singin about. He is just the coolest guy in town!!!

You're such a fucker.
The fact still remains, the autor of this article has a big cock up his ass and really needs to remove it before trying to use the internet again and writing shit like this
I love this album. It's over the top and proud of it.
Every time I go on a road trip, this is the first album in the CD player. In a previous life, I manager to wear out two tapes of it.
Paradise has shown up at a wedding I've been to, and I'm not afraid to admit I took center stage with the microphone before my voice finally disappeared from too much wacky dnacing and Jack&Coke.
But the best song on the album is still 2 out of 3 Ain't Bad
"You've been cold to me so long
I'm cryin' icicles instead of tears"
And...
"You're lookin' for a ruby in a mountain of rocks
But there ain't no Coup De'ville
hidin' at the bottom
of a Cracker Jack box"
Classic.

Why does everyone compare Meatloaf to Springsteen? Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell is NOTHING like Bruce Springsteen other than the fact that much of it is piano and sax driven. Yes, the album uses the "wall of sound" approach just like Born To Run but come on guys.. this is the sound track to a musical. It's absolutely packed full of cliches, in both the compositional and lyrical sense. I feel like the songs on Bat Out of Hell are not even meant to be taken seriously. They are just toe tappers glamorizing/satorizing the life of a typical "rebellious teenager"
