There is no one like Meat Loaf. There may never be another. RIP

Every song of Meat Loaf is a rock opera!

Another masterpiece from Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. With Meat Loaf's background in theatre and acting, this is one of his best songs and videos. The woman in the video is Dana Patrick, a model doing a fantastic job of lip-syncing. Her actual voice is Loraine Crosby. This is a Beauty and the Beast theme but with a touch of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" thrown in.

I'm old so I know this song, but watching the revelation in your face as you see everything first the first time makes this a great watch.

A great voice and a TRUE showman.

My personal Meatloaf favorite is "Two out of three ain't bad". Just a piano and pure talent.

This was actually a comeback of sorts for him during the 90's! A reminder if you will paying homage to the first blockbuster album that put him on the map back in the 70's which was called "Bat Out Of Hell!!" One of two "huge" hits from that album was called "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights" which became a "teenage anthem" for my generation🤭😄😆 And then of course there was "the ballad"💔😭😂🤣 It's called "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad!!" Both are "epic!!" You should check them out when you get the chance👍✌️❤️🤟🎸🎶

This is what is called a true music video... in the 80's... big productons and sets.

It's actually 1993. It's the follow up album to Bat out of Hell from 1977-8. Everything he does is cinematic like this. And Meat Loaf is the singer, not a group, believe it or not. Everything from the album Bat out of Hell is a classic!

As a 43 year old man it's hard to believe that this has gone under the radar of the younger generations. But that's how music goes. I remember my father interduce me to many older songs. He loved music an has passed it on to me. Luckily we have the internet now and it's much easier to share older classics like this one. Great reaction BTW. 😊

Beauty and the Beast theme. He was an original.

"For crying out loud" is another masterpice from jim Steinmann and Meat loaf.

It's actually from 1993. You should definitely listen to his other songs. If you like theatrics you're in the right place with Meat Loaf. He was known for his dramatic and theatrical performances. His 1977 album "Bat out of hell" is a banger. "Bat out of hell" and "Paradise by the dashboard light" are great examples of his theatrical and energetic stage performance. Another great song from 1993 is "Objects in the rear view mirror (may appear closer than they are)". He doesn't just sing a song, he literally lives it. He plays different characters in every song. And he always gives 150% on stage.

The album version is over eleven minutes of mind-blowing awesomeness!

Meatloaf is also in the movie with Tim Curry Susan Sarandon The Rocky Horror Picture Show 1975 although Meatloaf's part is short-lived in the movie. Marvin Lee Aday AKA Meatloaf RIP.

Everything Meatloaf did like this was really a broadway masterpiece. He used his extensive experience in that discipline to improve his videos and stage presence. The theme on this video is Brahm Stokers Dracula.

💜💜 Small correction : this is a mega song from the 90s! This song is legendary for the absolutely brilliant video - Beauty and the Beast! It is still one of my favorite songs! Amazing reaction, Millie ... 🌹🌹

MEAT LOAF IS A LEGEND. Now you should listen to "2 out of 3 ain't bad" ... 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸🎤😎

Absolutely timeless classic, long live Meatloaf!!

Another duet Meatloaf does with Marion Raven is " It's All Coming Back To Me Now" You will enjoy the official video

The next hit from the "Bat Out of Hell II" album was "Objects in the Rear View Mirror". This song represents storytelling at it's best.

He was a man of a million different voices. Listen through a full album, and he brings out a new style of singing and music with each one. He was so excellent at what he did.

Great reaction, meat loaf an absolute legend, extremely missed ❤❤❤

Great reaction, Millie. Other Meatloaf tracks which I recommend are: "You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)", "Bat Out of Hell", "For Crying Out Loud", "Paradise by The Dashboard Light", "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad", "All Revved Up with No Place to Go", "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through", "It's All Coming Back to Me Now", "I'd Lie for You (and That's The Truth)", "Dead Ringer for Love", there are other tracks but these are good ones to start with.

Welcome to the world of Meatloaf. Reactors favorites are Paradise By The Dashboard Lights, Bat Out Of Hell, Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad but my favorite is For Crying Out Loud

This is the short version the Album version is 12 minutes long but for me his best song is on the Original Bat Out of Hell album and it's the song For Crying Out Loud.

I'm glad you liked it so much. This song came out in 1993. I just had to check the release date because I recorded it on my VCR the 2nd time MTV aired it. I was 13yrs old and I thought the video was so cool. Thanks for helping us with our addiction to nostalgia.

Every song on the “Bat Out Of Hell” album, is phenomenal. Especially “For Crying Out Loud”. Nice reaction MM. 🙂

Oh me, now it's all but mandatory that you do Meat Loaf's _Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad_ and the utterly epic _Paradise By The Dashboard Light._ The video to _Paradise_ is an absolute masterwork.

I can't believe, this is your first Meat Loaf reaction ever! Wow! I think, you'd like "Paradise By The Dashboard Light"!

As a 60-year-old man it fills my heart to see your reaction to the music I listened to at your age. This is why people of my generation are baffled as to how we went from this to Cardi B's WAP.

Another thumbs up for "Paradise By The Dashboard Lights". That song is one of his greatest! 👍

Loved your reaction Millie, the joy and amazement said it all.

I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday ( Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.

Michael Lee Aday was a friend and neighbor of mine here in Redding, CT.. He was one of a kind in so many ways... Everytime I watch, especially this masterpiece, I get emotional.. A one-of-a-kind man.. R.I.P.

Good morning and thank you for your amazing reaction. I now know what I looked like when I first heard and watched this beautiful piece of music and video. Like you, I was blown away. Thank you for reacting to this, you have so much more Meat Loaf to react to, and have a wonderful weekend.

This is a genre that Meatloaf was the master of. It's called Rock Opera.

When it came to music, we had it good in the 70's and 80"s. The likes of Meatloaf was just part of that.

Another amazing song from this record is 'Rock and Roll dreams Come Through' ,with a great video starring a young and breathtakingly beautiful Angeline Jolie.

Around the same time there was a series called Beauty and the Beast……I think this is the feeling or the aesthetic he was going for in the making of this video. The music is epic! So happy to watch the joy and experience you are having! The best thing you can do in your life is to completely immerse yourself into the music!

Seeing this kind of reaction from someone your age gives me hope in humanity.

Meatloaf was incredible ❤he is a rock opera 😮

This is the most beautiful song in the history of music ,Meat loaf was a very theatrical on stage performer . Next try 2out of 3 ain't bad .

This concert will will leave you with tears in your eyes.

Michael was a genius at rock opera. His duet with Cher is worth checking out. Dead Ringer for Love. This was a huge hit single for him. Bat Out of Hell is one of my favourites and Jim Steinman was such a great composer. If you have not seen it, watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in which Meatloaf plays Eddie.

This was from 1993... the Meat Loaf sequel album 'Bat out of Hell II: Back into hell'... The original 'Bat out of Hell' was a huge hit record in 1977 w/ both records written & composed by (the late) Jim Steinman, who was (1 of) Meat Loaf's key songwriters. Sadly, Meat Loaf passed away in early 2022 at age 74. Singer/actor Michael Lee Aday was from Texas... he was an overweight American football player in school and his coach gave him the name 'Meat Loaf'... but his passion was theater and singing as a teen. His home life was troublesome... he left home after his mom died and moved to California to become a rock singer. In the early 70's, Meat Loaf worked odd jobs and theater roles in Los Angeles and eventually met aspiring songwriter Jim Steinman while he also sang in a rock band ... the two worked on music together, but no record labels were interested. In 1973, Meat Loaf was cast in the original musical 'The Rocky Horror Picture show'... and appeared in the movie. He also recorded vocals for a 1976 album by Ted Nugent... Meat Loaf was finally signed in 1977 and his collaboration album w/ Jim Steinman was released as 'Bat out of hell'... It became a massive international hit, selling 43 million copies worldwide - 15 million in the US to date. Before all the theatrical bands that fused classical and theatrical music w/ hard rock music (Nightwish, T.S.O, Avantasia...) Meat Loaf broke new ground w/ 'Bat out of hell' in that style of music in 1977... Meat Loaf also toured for the record and was a live sensation as well w/ his huge, operatic voice and distinct image ... Unfortunately, vocal issues delayed a 2nd Meat Loaf album... when 'Dead ringer' was finally released in 1981, the album was a commercial disappointment... Label lawsuits and legal troubles bankrupted Meat Loaf in the 80's... He was forced to record new music and tour in Europe and other parts of the world and his collaboration w/ Jim Steinman had soured. Thankfully, Meat Loaf finally resolved his legal issues and re-teamed w/ Jim Steinman in 1993 to deliver the sequel album 'Bat out of hell II; Back into hell' ... The single "I'd do anything for love" was a #1 hit worldwide and the album sold 15 million copies worldwide as Meat Loaf made a huge comeback. Subsequent albums were not as successful ('Welcome to the neighborhood' in 1995... "Couldn't have said it better" in 2003...) but Meat Loaf was still successful at touring and making new music... A legal dispute w/ Jim Steinman resulted in a 3rd 'Bat out of Hell' album being released in 2006 with only a few Steinman songs - "Bat out of hell III: The monster is loose" did well, included a Steinman single originally written & recorded for pop star Celine Dion ("It's all coming back to me now") in the 90's. After 2010, Meat Loaf was declining in health and unable to sing as he had in the past... Jim Steinman was also declining health-wise, so the 2 made peace and recorded Meat Loaf's final album 'Braver than we are' in 2016... using past tracks that Steinman had written. Meat Loaf had to stop touring soon after due to his failing health. Jim Steinman died in 2021... Meat Loaf passed away soon after in 2022... The singer's political views overshadowed his music in later years, but he is still a legend in rock music. Meat Loaf classic songs - 'Rock n roll dreams come through' ... 'You took the words right out of my mouth' ... 'Not a dry eye in the house' ... 'The Monster is loose'... "Two out of three ain't bad" ... 'Midnight at the lost & found' ... 'Life is a lemon & I want my money back' ... 🔥🔥

I'm 67 and I felt the same way you do when I first heard it....AMAZING TUNE

Loved your reaction! No one writes them like Steinman (the tempo shifts!!) and no one can totally captivate me like ML. That voice! The way he uses it to manipulate emotions is unparalleled IMO. There is so much to love from these two. Bat Out Of Hell. Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad. Official videos to get the full ML treatment. For Crying Out Loud is a vocal tour de force…and the music. I could go on…. The lyrics. The masterful musicians and backup vocals.Just wow.

Meatloaf, Paradise by the dashboard light. Two out of three ain’t bad. Bat out of Hell. And you must watch him in the Rocky horror picture show, Hot patootie, bless my soul.

I love watching your expressions and the way your eyes lit up hearing this for the first time. Reminds me of 10 year old me hearing it for the first time in 1993. May Meat Loaf RIP...

PARADICE BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHTs!!!!!

It was fun to see the genuine enjoyment on your face. Meatloaf won the 1993 Grammy for Best Male Rock Vocalist for this song. Also, the original, album version is somewhat longer, another verse by Loraine Crosby.

This is my favorite meatloaf reaction, genuine. Good job young lady

Oh wow, shes back 😀

Jim Steinman was a great songwriter. I discovered Meatloaf with this song and immediately went through his whole catalog. Its amazing how consistent their sound was from the 70s thru the 90s.

The composer of this song is Jim Steinman, that left us in 2021, he is also the composer of "Total eclipse of the heart (Bonnie Tyler), "Nowhere Fast" and "Tonight Is What It Means to be Young", from the movie "Streets of Fire". 4 great songs.

That was the Master of the Rock Opera. Really opened up all our metal heads and showed us another version of Rock music

Gotta listen to 'Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad' with Jim Steinman the writer and composer on the piano AND 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light'..... The BEST makeout song EVER!

Two out of three ain't bad is another hit of his. Another great reaction MIllie! Just subscribed.

September 14, 1993 was the release of this album. I bought it and played this CD on repeat for like a year. (you will love it all) Great reaction. 😄

The word youre looking for is 'Epic.' Meatloaf was one hell of a storyteller. This is one song I wish I could go back in time and hear again for the first time.

Watching you get mesmerized by the incredible, immortal meatloaf.....awsome!

It’s based on the story of the beauty and the beast fable! Meat was a marvelously talented performer who always gave everything on stage ! His Bat out of Hell was a classic!

A song that will get to you is a one hit wonder by studio musicians calling themselves THINK. The song is Once You Understand. It's a shocker that you may be left in tears 😢😭😢 over the ending. Song is very relevant as much today as it was in 1971.

Ah, the middle-length video version. The real one, which gets you _all_ of the intensity and all the dynamics that are somewhat cut up here and in the radio edit, is 12 minutes and worth every damn second of it.

Every reaction I've watched the person reacting keeps asking"What wont your do for love!?" and I'm like, just wait till the damn end!!

"Paradise By The Dashboard Lights"

Millie, to watch your face during this was priceless. You appeared stunned, as was I back in the day. It warms the cockles of this old man’s heart. People had a modicum of talent back in the day. 😂😂😂. 🥰

Sadly Meatloaf passed away almost a Year ago on January 20, 2022 from Cancer.

If you've never seen Rocky Horror Picture Show, Meatloaf was a character in that, singing his fat ass off. His voice is super iconic

My dear, this is rock opera, ivan seen it and it was amazing, miss those days.

I Came of age in the early 70's, the era of "Classic Rock" The Man Meatloaf "Marvin Lee Aday" was not just a rocker he was a performer. He and his band were Show People! not just singing a song But dragging you into the story! He is missed and is loved by people around the world! RIP Meat!

Meatloaf was a genius with his vocals and music. Could you imagine seeing this live on stage? I have! Way back in the day.... Absolutely a masterpiece of music!❤❤❤❤

MEAT LOAF...SIMPLY, THE BEST OF THE BEST EVER!! EPIC!! SOLID GOLD!!

A real rock classic - epic and powerful 🤘

Michael Aday, also known as Meatloaf, was one hell of a singer. He teamed up with songwriter Jim Steinman on some of the most creative works of music ever done. You saw that one, check out Objects in the Rearview Mirror (Are Closer Than They Are), Rock and Roll Dreams Come True, It's All Coming Back to Me Now, and then, for fun, Paradise by the Dashboard Lights. If you've ever seen the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show with Tim Curry, you've seen Meatloaf on the screen doing the part of Eddie, singing Hot Patootie/Bless My Soul. He was also, non-singing, in Fight Club and several other movies and TV shows. He was quite the accomplished man. We lost him a couple years ago, sadly. He was my favorite of all time.

Totally agree. A song with a story is the best.

Written by Jim Steinman in the early 80s. He sang and released it on his album. In 1993, Meatloaf released his version. Once again, proving the power of the Jim & Meatloaf team. Jim's release was good. Meatloaf's release is legendary. RIP Jim Steinman & Meatloaf 🙏

The video is spectacular!! The pity is that the actress who plays the protagonist is not the singer. This is Lorraine Crosby, and I recommend you research her career.

Meatloaf was a living legend, sadly he's now a legend in heaven, but forever a legend.

I graduated High school when this song came out in 1993.....I totally understand your feelings...it has always been a beautiful song

As great as this song is, their biggest hit and probably most well know hit is Paradise by the Dashboard light. That is if you haven't already heard it like 99% of the rest of the world.

Other songs with a similar style from the same songwriter and prolly some of the same musicians: "Making Love (Out Of Nothing At All)" / Air Supply; "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" / Céline Dion. Other good songs Meat recorded: "Nowhere Fast"; "Left in the Dark"; "Original Sin"; "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through"; "Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back"; "Everything Louder than Everything Else".

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST

I love watching movies and Meat Loaf comes pops up out of nowhere and I’m thumping on whatever/whoever is closest to me screaming “That’s Meat Loaf!!!” Which then my kids ask who he is and my response to them is always “he is the definition of Rock’n Roll.” Party on Meat Loaf.

I’ve been listening to this song since it was first released, and after all this time I STILL don’t know what it is that he won’t do.😢

Millie, I don't know if anyone mentioned this or not, but the music video is based on an "updated" version of Beauty and the Beast, where a lovely woman falls in love with a disfigured man. Also, the woman in the video isn't actually the singer of the female parts of the song... she a well respected "lip sync" artist. But damn, does she pull this one off! One of my favorite Meatloaf videos of his career.

Meat loaf is a legend. Other songs ..... Life is a lemon and i want my money back, Two out of three ain´t bad, Paradise by the dashbord light, Bat out of hell, It just won´t quit, Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than They Are ...etc

Loved your reaction! This is the short version, the longer version is 12 minutes.

Now you gotta listen to all their masterpieces👍

You need to check out his BAT OUT OF HELL ALBUM, ONLY 7 sONGS, BUT ALL MASTERPIECES

I'm sure some have said by now - but this is early 90's, but beyond that I think you nailed it!! Meatloaf (r.i.p) was a very unique & powerful talent & every song sung & video made is an epic movie-like masterpiece! (fun fact: video directed by Michael Bay if memory serves!) I'd recommend the amazing ''Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are'' from the same album - a haunting & beautiful track that hits the emotions hard! 😁

Really enjoyed this reaction Millie :) I recommend checking out a 3 sister rock band from Mexico that have an incredibly infectious energy. The Warning⚡ is made up of Daniela (Guitar, Lead Vocals), Paulina (Drums, Vocals) & Alejandra (Bass, Backing Vocals) 2014 their cover of Enter Sandman by Metallica went viral (14, 12, 9 yrs old respectively). Since then they’ve gone from strength to strength, opening for Foo Fighters, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Muse along with their own headline tours. I don’t have any song recommendations because they’re honestly all fantastic and they don’t just play in one genre. Anything from “Live at Teatro Metropólitan (CDMX)” will showcase their current live wall of sound.

A bit of information on this track It was off the Bat Out of Hell 2 Back into Hell album from the 90's. Listen to the album it's incredible. This song is actually 12 minutes long, this video edits out about 4 minutes. This music video was directed by Michael Bay (Transformers films) & has a sequel video for "I'd Lie for You (And That's the Truth)" if you want to see how the story ends. It's written by Jim Steinman, a popular musician & songwriter whose career is somewhat tied to Meatloaf as he wrote the Bat Out of Hell 1 album in the 70's as well as the Meatloaf album Dead Ringer. Many other tracks were also written by him but these are the albums that feature Jim Steinman as writer. Steinman is known for his theatrical songwriting as he wrote for plays as well. He's written songs for Bonnie Tyler, Celine Dion, Pandora's Box & his own solo album. Many of which Meatloaf covers later on. ENTIRE ALBUMS WRITTEN BY JIM STEINMAN Bat Out of Hell Dead Ringer Bat Out of Hell 2 Braver Then We Are ALBUMS WHERE ONLY A COUPLE WERE WRITTEN BY JIM STEINMAN Bad Attitude Bat Out of Hell 3 Welcome to the Neighborhood OTHERS SONGS WORTH CHECKING OUT NOT WRITTEN BY JIM STEINMAN (AS THOSE ARE ALL WORTH LISTENING TO) I'd Lie for You (And That's the Truth) Couldn't Have Said It Better Razor's Edge Sailor to A Siren Eddie (from Rocky Horror Picture Show) Kickapoo (featuring Dio) (from Tenacious D) Midnight at the Lost & Found Not A Dry Eye in the House

Bat Out of Hell (1977, I believe) is another iconic song worth listening to and different to most of their work. (You'll love it). Be sure to react to the full album version. (Radio edit cuts out too much). 🙂

I was so sad when Meat Loaf passed. He was a sincere musician who loved the theatrical side of music. He and Jim Steinman were a team.

A true performance as are all his songs! Was lucky to have seen him in concert

This music is considered one of the best 100 musics of last 100 years.....

Ey, it is me Zahra you might know me from your twitch channel. Really love your vids of reactions and streams in twitch keep it up, love you very much. Massive hugs

This whole album is great! My favorite song on the album is "everything louder than everyting else".
