JB, Thank You Very much , Meat

Rock opera is such an underrated genre of music

Lol Your face when you first heard his voice. I knew you wasn't going to expect it. I'm surprised that you liked it so much. Meat Loaf is definitely one of those "one-of-a-kind" artists.

2 out 3 ain't bad and paradise by the dashboard lights are a couple more from meatloaf that are great.

Rest In Peace, Meatloaf. You were magnificent…

Jim Steinman wrote this. I swear he's one of the best songwriters of all time. IMAGINE if Steinman wrote a song for Queen to perform. Imagine that!

While Meatloaf has several great songs, I will always be partial to "Two out of Three ain't bad". His voice is amazing on that song and the lyrics are powerful.

meatloaf is a performer. his albums/shows are a rock opera. it all runs together and is awesome.

Freaking love Meat Loaf. He approaches music from an actor's perspective and it's so cool!

His first solo album, Bat Out of Hell is the 5th most sold record in history.

My kids were watching MTV and I heard this voice from the kitchen. I went to watch and was hooked on his voice. I watched the whole video and bought the CD. Then went to see Meat Loaf live on stage. He was great!! It was one of the best concerts that I have ever seen!! Love Meat Loaf!! ❤️🎵

My favourite is 'You Took the Words Right out of my Mouth'

He's a classically trained opera singer, too.... that's why he can sing like he does. Incredible talent.

Love love Meatloaf, he sings ballads and is extremely talented. 💖💖💖. Enjoy you rocking out.👍. The look on your face is priceless when the female starts singing. You're like WOW!

I love Meat Loaf's song "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights". I love the old live performance of it the best. His live performance is very theatrical.. That song seemed very different/unique than anything I've ever heard before when I first listened to it a couple of years ago.

The instrumental music is an epic sound. Meatloaf has such a great voice that carries emotion that you can feel in the powerful lyrics. His body of work is legendary.

Paradise By The Dashboard Lights!!!!! By Meatloaf!!!! Love that song!!

Your face was priceless when he first started singing but when she did...EPIC! LOL. i loved how you shook your head no like they did not just make this song better. Lol. I loved it. This reaction is awesome!!!

This whole album is incredible

I was never a Meatloaf fan and then a friend had two tickets and didn't want to go alone so I said sure. It ended up being the very best concert I have ever seen. He puts on a show that is so amazing I was just wowed.. He studied music.

One of the greatest singers of all time. He legally changed his name to Meatloaf.

Yeah that one slipped through under the radar..... i totally forgot about MEATLOAF and his masterpeaces. Definitely do more. Paradase by the dashboard lights, bat out of hell, 2 out of 3... shit how did i forget about these songs.... going to listen to em now :)

Your enjoyment and surprise throughout the song was epic 😆👍🏼. With a name like Meatloaf , he catches a lot of people off guard. "Bat Out Of Hell" is a must !

This song made me a Meat loaf fan. Then I saw him live in concert and he was unbelievably amazing!!! Love him ❤️

Meatloaf ows everything to Jim Steinman who wrote and produced all of his albums. Steinman is a genius!!

So strange that you never even heard of Meat Loaf, the whole Bat Out Of Hell album is insane

I’m happy you enjoyed it.

MEATLOAF is amazing

I've always loved this song, it's one of Meatloaf's best.

A lot of people think the "I won't do that" part is a mystery, that he never tells you what he won't do... But he does, read the lyrics carefully and you can figure it out. He says exactly what he won't do, just before he says "I won't do that" (Ex: the first thing he will not do is... "forget the way you feel right now") Plus the end of the song, the duet section, is more explicit in exactly what else he will not do. Meat Loaf... I think of him as an everyman's rock artist. Many of his songs are about down to earth relatable concepts, things that just about anyone may have experienced or at least easily imagine themselves doing or experiencing. He is also a bit of a hefty man of average features, not some pretty boy type... When he got his start, talent was usually more important than looks. Music videos were not really a thing yet, so the radio was where most first heard an artist. So talent was important. Sure, there were bands created with the member's marketability in mind, back then as now, "The Monkeys" are an example... But with genuine talent and some luck, about anyone could find success if they worked for it. Talent winning the day over looks never fully went away, but I do get the feeling it may be picking back up again as well, and I welcome that.

Having grown up with most of these songs (I'm "old"), it is fun to see someone of your age discovering them for the first time and realizing, like I've known for most of my life, that this is some of the best music ever made and they just don't make it like this anymore. The days of the epic ballads like this are gone. Anyway, you should also do some reactions to Guns n Roses (November Rain, the music video), and some AC/DC (Hells Bells and Back in Black). Loving your reactions.

One of the all-time great collaborations in rock music: Meat Loaf (vocals) and Jim Steinman (composer and lyrics). Those chills you experienced were felt by many when this album (Bat Out Of Hell II) was released in the early '90s. Meat was considered a by-gone rock act of the '70s and his collaborator, Jim, had moved on to other projects with other artists (Bonnie Tyler, Pandora's Box).But they got back together in the studio to create a sequel to their 1975 album Bat Out Of Hell and this was the lead single. It was HUGE. It was like a great mythic god descending to earth and reminding everyone of just how epic music should be. That you had just about the same reaction as people did when it first came out says something about both the power of a great song and the state of popular music today. Yes, there's good music out there today, but not much with this kind of power.

Sometimes a song is so good that it feels like a whole Album or a whole career. If I had such a song, I would be happy forever 😉

I am absolutely delighted with every moment of your reaction!!!! 😁😁😁😁😁🎶🥁🎤🎶💖💖💖💖 There has never been a song like this before or since. Perfection! 4ever music!

I just liked and subscribed JUST because MEATLOAF is the most awesome music that chronicles my life for the past 30+ years. You rock for liking it!

Have you ever seen The Rocky Horror Show? Meat Loaf was Eddy, the rocker.

ROCK ON, MY MAN! ROCK ON!!! This song is EPIC. Just like your reaction. It's such a joy to watch you lose yourself in the music. I am SOOOOOO glad I found your channel!

I LOVE your reaction to this! Meatloaf is EPIC!!! And I agree with the others here who have recommended 1. Paradise by the dashboard light 2. Objects in the rear view mirror 3. Two out three ain't bad There are many others, but these 3 along with this one you're doing now, are probably the most well known and loved ones.

I too found Meat Loaf with this song, but luckily for me it was in 1993 as a 14 year old and have loved him ever since. Met him at a cd signing session, seen him live at Wembley and in Melbourne. His passing was very untimely as he was just getting back to singing and performing. Love your work JB.

I am binge watching your videos. I’m enjoying them that much.

I love this song

MEATLOAF 2 OUT OF 3 ISN'T BAD. LOVE LOVE THAT SONG IT ON MY PLAYLIST..

All of Jim Steinman who wrote this song and most of Meatloafs songs are this intense

He released his first album three different times and all three times they went triple-platinum

Jim Steinman is such a great songwriter, every one is a little epic masterpiece. Any song on Meatloaf's first two albums, "Bat Out Of Hell" and "Dead Ringer" is worth a listen, especially "Bat Out of Hell", "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", and "Dead Ringer For Love". He also wrote "Total Eclipse of the Heart" for Bonnie Tyler - her voice is a bit Marmite but the song is undeniably great. He even released an album called "Bad For Good" in which he sang himself when Meat Loaf had voice problems, he's not a great singer but the songs themselves are very good.

Long ago I managed a pizza joint and one of my drivers handed me a NWA cassette and I handed him the Bat out of hell cassette. Paradise by Dashboard Lights was the song he loved. There are several movies Meat loaf was in Rocky Horror. Crazy in Alabama but my favorite was Roadie. Great music and he was awesome in it.

Man I'm glad I watched this before work today....now I'm pumped up for the day I'm going to listen to meatloaf albums today in a row

The spontaneous air guitar at the beginning - YES! YOU UNDERSTAND ME!

Somebody should have told him the meatloaf was so good.

The look on your face is priceless when you heard his voice

And his music videos really add to the emotion; loved him in Rocky Horror Picture Show too

Fun fact: Meat Loaf was in the movie Fight Club.

"Everything Louder than Everything Else" Meat Loaf

Bat out of Hell Best song about dying in a motorcycle crash after a one night stand ever!

This was a mind blowing album when it came out. It broke the rules in that you won't find a 3 minute pop song on it. Back then, a song got 3-4 minutes and if it was longer, no air play. This came along and was SO different, so amazing that songs like this got PLENTY of air time. Not since the early 70's and things like Tommy did that happen. I LOVE watching the look on your face when you discover music like this. It makes me feel good to see you younger guys get the tops of your head blown off by the music some of us know well. Kudos for looking and discovering such greatness. Feels great, doesn't it?

Meatloaf has a voice that can only be described as beautiful.

You are so adorable!! LOL Your reaction is fantastic!!! LOL Meatloaf is an incredible entertainer and is one of my all-time favourites!! Listen to "For Crying Out Loud" OMG!!! "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights" is classic and hilarious!!! He has soooo many amazing hits!! He is a living ICON!!! A word of caution though.... once you get into this, it's a slippery slope....it will suck you right in. I've gone on Meatloaf benders for months!! LOL This song and the original video (must watch) is one of his best!!!! Welcome to the world of Meatloaf!! You will never be the same!!! lol When the woman started singing...YOUR FACE!! Classic!! Thanks for sharing!! Awesome!!

I got goosebumps all over again watching you react. I discovered Meat when Anything for Love song came out when I was a teenager. After that I devoured everything he did before and since, and that of Jim Steinman. You should also check out Bat Out of Hell: The Musical. Welcome to the Loafdom world!

I was raised on music like this. Saw meat loaf in concert a couple years ago in edmonton alberta when he collapsed on stage. It was amazing to experience his music in person, especially with my dad who absolutely loves him.

Once you get a taste of this Meal Loaf you will love it forever. ❤️ He is awesome, and a legend! His music will never die.

You do my favorite reaction videos because you really “feel” the music. Not everyone has that capability. Nice channel!

JBLethal, do me a favor brother! I have NEVER heard a song that made me more emotional than Meat Loaf - "Objects in the Rearview Mirror" If that song don't make you cry then there's something wrong with you trustttttttttttt that

Saw him way back in a production of HAIR in Detroit in 1970.. Even back then his voice was amazing.

One of the most amazing artists in history. Never heard a bad song from Meatloaf.

You need to listen to the whole album. Bat out of hell is one of the great albums of all time.

Welcome to the world of rock!

Growing up Baptist i had to listen to this soooo quietly in my room!!! His response took me right back to those wonderful memories!!!

Welcome to 1970s classic Rock ballads! I love that you can hear them for what they are!

It's a pleasure to watch you react to music that has been the soundtrack of my life.

You, sir...have commanded my greatest respect with your reaction to this song. It truly is a masterpiece. :) Most people refer to his music as "rock-opera"; however, I tend to lean more towards "epic-rock". :D I absolutely loved your reaction when the female singer (Lorraine Crosby) came in... Take care!

Coming back here because of Jim Steinman. RIP Jim, thank you for writing all these amazing songs/stories.

He is one of the greatest!!!!! In his 70’s now and hails from Texas. My favorite singer back in the day!!

I love this song & I know you will. Can't wait to watch your reaction!

Your beyond entertaining! ❤️ such a natural.

Most of us have the same reaction when listening to Meatloaf, GOOSEBUMPS! You got another "like"

Your face when he started singing and your reaction throughout was great

easiest subscription of my life

Oh man this is perfect Marvin Lee Aday is his name, he is classified as Rock Opera try Bat outta Hell, Paradise by the Dashboard light, Not a Dry Eye in the House, Life's a Lemon and I want my money back, It's all coming back to me now, and 2 outta 3 ain't bad

Mate, you are CLASS! Loved watching your facial expressions as you realized the sheer genius unfolding before your very eyes. When you paused before the female vocal came in, I thought 'oh my God, what's he gonna do when she starts singing?' and you didn't disappoint 😁😁😁. So glad you chose to listen to the rarely played much longer album version rather than the slimmed down version for radio air play where most of the female vocal is omitted. Man, go watch the video as the girl used to mouth the female vocal is one of the most beautiful you'll ever see. Watching you react to this song must've been the way I responded 43 years ago as a 17-year-old listening to 'Bat Out Of Hell' for the very first time! Incredible!

One of life's great pleasures is watching someone hearing Meat Loaf for the first time. JB, you are not alone in having your mind blown by Meat. I'd love to see your reaction to Meat singing "For Crying Out Loud." Thanks very much. I subscribed.

wait til he gets to the girls voice.....wait for it..........wait for it.....wait for it..........

I love Meatloaf.

lol priceless facial reaction the second he starts singing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

such a great song! I love the appreciation on your face , the emotion for the music ... there is so much in this piece - the lyrics, the drums, piano, .... its everything! its soul!

If you like this you must go back to the first album Bat out of Hell !!!! Best song is," Paradise by the dashbord light " awsome beginings brought this song you hear today .1st album was written by a preist fresh out of ceminary school , just try to remember that listening to it cause it was a Christian music great although it was # 1 on the charts .

Bat out of hell was the first album I ever had dang. That was a long time

It was a joy watching you listen to his brilliant voice,, AND how cool, he messaged you, this is just the tip of his brilliance!,

I’ve tuned back in for this 1 I love Meatloaf and two just to say keep ya spirits up my brother. I’m thinking of you mate from down under 🇦🇺 with love ❤️

It’s about time someone reacted to this however you should have listen to the duet version with Patti Russo

First reactor I have seen do MeatLoaf!

I saw him live twice and I was right at the stage both times half pissed and screaming along with him. It was monumental.

I have lost count of the number of times that I have watched this video over the years. I never tire of watching your reaction to Meatloaf. It means even more to me now that we lost him. Even though we have never met, I love ya like a brother. Keep doing what you do and I will keep watching.

Hey brother, you got me I'm a subscriber and love the reactions and openness keep it comming!!!

You just earned a new sub dude. Regards from Ireland 👏👏👏🇮🇪

JB, Love your passion for music and talent, it's a gift, never lose it. Only wish you could have been there to witness this extraordinary man and his band, live. I was there Halloween 1977 when he blew the roof off the Orpheum Theatre in Boston....... He was larger than life on stage.....literally and figuratively. To this day it's still the finest live show I've ever seen.

AH Meatloaf is Awesome man! 70's teen youth. Just have had to been there to appreciate it I guess.

Listen to Bat out of Hell by Meat Loaf. The best!

If you like the sound of this song, you owe some thanks to Jim Steinman who wrote it. Steinman has a VERY particular songwriting style that really helped define Meat Loaf's own signature sound. You should look up some of his other work starting with his contribution to the Streets of Fire soundtrack. The studio band who recorded the music he wrote for the film was called Fire Inc. and the two songs were called "Nowhere Fast" and "Tonight is What It Means to be Young". The similar flow and feel between them and this song are unmistakeable. That's Jim Steinman's influence.

How can you never have heard of Meatloaf!? Too young? Your face was a picture! Fabulous 'rock opera'! 😊

I use to cry from a broken heart to his music. Oh what fond memories of meatloaf😁
