The man had throat cancer. Was told he would never sing again. And came back as strong as ever. His voice is incredible.

A theater near me was showing the movie at 10:00 for two nights only, and they encouraged people to come dressed up, to bring the traditional interactive props and call out the traditional phrases. I went dressed as Eddie, and when Hot Patootie came on, I jumped up, and danced down to the front of the theater. Someone threw a spotlight on me, and suddenly everyones eyes were on me. I looked to the nearest Columbia (there were a few) and motioned for her to join me. So basically, we acted out the whole dance number live while it was happening on screen. Then my friend who was dressed as Frank N Furter came down and pantomimed murdering me while the complete stranger Columbia screamed in horror. THIS is why I love the the interactive Rocky Horror Shows.

He did phenomenally on Hot Patootie. His voice always is super incredible.

the end of this clip had me shivering in anticip

Meat is one my heroes. I’m a classically trained tenor. “For Cryin’ Out Loud” from Bat Out Hell is as difficult as anything in Wagner’s Ring cycle. This guy could have been an opera star.

I love how proud he sounds when he describes the audience laughing at Doctor Scott, and how he finally got into the role. He even made Tim Curry laugh! Not everyone can manage bizarre comedy like Rocky Horror, and considering that it was a much less open minded time, and that he came from a conservative family, he did an amazing job breaking away from all that.

he has aged very well i love meatloaf.his songs are just so great.

The low number of dislikes on this video reminds me of how patient and forgiving Rocky Horror fans are.

Rest in Peace Meatloaf September 27, 1947--January 20, 2022. I have this video saved in a list since every once in a while I just love to listen to it, since you tell stories SO WELL especially about the part on proving O'Brein wrong on the song.

Meat Loaf was a pretty conservative guy...cool that he went from "no no no no no I'm not doing this" to wearing fishnets on stage (and loving it) and even begging to do the same thing in the movie!

*that awkward moment when you wonder if this is Matt Damon in twenty years*

Saw this film at least 70 times. Just loved the movie.

He's right. Hot Patootie is a touch song to match lyrics to the notes of the song.

I had the great pleasure of seeing him in concert. One of the BEST concerts ever! He talked to us and acted out Paradise by the Dashboard Light and I'd Do Anything for Love. If I had the chance and he was up to it( sadly he has said his health isn't the best,and that is more important than a concert!) I'd go to a Meatloaf concert again!

Great interview and indispensable to anyone who's a fan of the show and the movie. Meatloaf is excellent when it comes to telling these stories and makes for a very good raconteur.

I can't help my self. Some how Meat Loaf feels to me like an old Jack Black in this interview.

I love him. I've been playing his music constantly lately.

Judging him for his reaction is not fair. Also you have to understand something about MArvin Lee Aday... he comes from a repressive family. His parents were Gospel singers and his dad was abusive. He was young at the moment and probably dealing with so many inner demons but he became one of the greatest rock heroes. :)

Meatloaf is such a funny and great guy. I loved his part as Eddie and this story is hilarious, especially the part about him with the fishnets on stage as Dr. Scott. LOL

5:50 "What kind of play is this?" LOL! Love ya Meat!

I’m glad they changed Meatloafs mind he did a fantastic job in the movie he killed his solo. I also believe that he could have been a great Dr Scott as well.

Meatloaf has had wonderful career with many albums and many tours, movies, and television. He's coming out with a new album, Braver than We Are, in 2016. Pretty great considering he has Social Anxiety.

Meatloaf made a career wearing frilly fluffy shirts and skin tight leather pants. Draws the line at girls undies. 🤔

I never saw Mr. Meatloaf as a Laughing kind of guy! That is great! I remember discovering Rocky Horror in 6th grade by way my friend April. My Dad wouldnt let me play it on the VCR! I still have an undying aprreciation for Rocky Horror and Shock Treatment!

Man, I love Meat. Hands down my favorite artist.

he´s the best, he can sing all the words

Haha he got scared away by "Sweet Transvestite" I don't blame him actually.

Thanks for mentioning his childhood. Meat overcame. Love him.

RIP. MEATLOAF LEGEND ur music will live on forever

Fantastic interviewee, Meatloaf! GREAT story--and storyTELLER!

Oh yeah i remember the song he is talking about at 3:40 ^^ i'm french and i remember as a teen i was amazed even though i didn't understand a word that he could put so much word in such a weird pattern in that song :D RHPS was such a greaaaat show/movie, it was a shock for me, when i saw this first, i was in Heavy Metal, i thought it was more about this kind of music, but i l.o.v.e.d the music even more than anything i had heard before. So harmonious, so greatly sung. Ah, memories :)

I love Meatloaf.

4:00 - I think he prefers telling people he "won't do that".

Can we address that meatloaf looks more attractive in this video than he ever did 😂

Meatloaf is so awesome

This is one of my favorite celebrity interviews. It is also important for historical purposes. Susan Surandon also has funny interviews of her experiences. I wish Tim curry wouldn't be so hush hush about his experiences.

A musical genius who seems as if he is the guy next door. Great talent.

Keith Moon came to the original show. And handed us coke rather than champagne

Rest In Peace, Meat Loaf.

This is quite funny, he just walked out first time he saw sweet transvestite haha

R.I.P. The late Great Mr. Loaf. Meat to his friends, Outstanding songs, Bat out of Hell.. everything else. Looking for the Heart of Saturday night, Tom Waits, then Hot Patootie, followed by Rat trap ? Lovely.

awesome stuff here loved meat loaf as eddie awesome stuff and love the song hot patootie and this is a good interview.

Big part of the show... Wouldn't be the same with Meatloaf. ....Love his TIm Curry Chats.... Just posted some Tim Curry Impersonations. STILL TRYING TO FIND A GAME.. ..

They should make a Movie about the first Rocky Horror Show. I would pay to see that.

It makes me remember how obsessed we are with this show when I realize most of my close friends and I know all the lyrics to "Hot Patootie" and Meat Loaf doesn't remember them...

He's such a sweet guy in person & I remember meeting him as a kid, although his wife became my second mum for the night (she's brilliant) so I remember her more. I'd forgotten how shy he is off stage. Hehe Wish I could have seen the original Rocky Horror though. Meat & Rocky = brilliant!

the weirdes take away I got from this was that rapping is a skill that more singers should train if hot patootie is something that went too fast

Ride In Paradise.. 01/20/2022 Always remembered as a huge part of my childhood.

Meat Loaf is one of the funniest people that have ever walked this Earth.One day people will know this!

Such a national treasure. Rest in peace, Meat Loaf 😢 🕊️

Meatloaf, nude: Oh it's Anne Margaret... Raquel: Oh it's pee wee herman

Meat Loaf in drag..... I need a few drinks. Maybe some trepanation.....

GO MEATLOAF!!!!

I love you Meat Loaf! You remind me of my oldest son. He loves singing, and drama, but afraid of the "unusual"

Guy named "Meatloaf" gets thinner over the years. Please Meat, never stop being you.

🎵Hot patootie bless ma' soul! Been in love and rock 'n roll!🎵

Tim Curry was just at phx comic con. He has done a lot of interviews. He was absolutely wonderful at the con. He did a Q and A, talked about his movies and even sang sweet t!

Are we surprised he can get all the words in I mean paradise by the dashboard. He's fantastic

you have never seen rocky horror till you see it live on stage. a live show is awesome

❤ meatloaf

Great story fm a great artist

lol, he is in character ........he walks out and gets a ticket from the police...lmao.

@TheHelenasan4 Well it was years ago and he was young... maybe he's grown up in the last 30+ years. You gotta remember how revolutionary the show was at the time.

I would like to see the original play so much !!! But it's unfindable ...

I love how immodest he is. That's refreshing !

Damn! How would you like to be the guy who brakes Tim Curry's character?! That would be awesome!!!

Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947), better known by his stage name Meat Loaf.

Meat Loaf was such a badass in RHPS, RIP Meat Loaf

Like so many cities, Rocky Horror ran every Saturday night in Atlanta for more than a decade .

oh meatloaf, how i love thee

No, he ran out after seeing Tim Curry in full Frankie costume after previously having no idea what that show was about. You don't have to be a homophobe to be uncomfortable with that, you don't prove you are pro LGBT by willingly cross dressing. For all he knew this could have been an entire show about sexual depravity, all he had to go on was one moment which was entirely unexpected, very unusual and extremely disconcerting out of context. No part of his being freaked out is homophobic.

The lesson to be learned is if you bug meatloaf long enough he will do what ever you want.

They subjected Meatloaf to conversion therapy!

R.I.P Meatloaf, you help shaped our youth.

His name is Robert Paulson.

I am surprised a video this high quality was uploaded in 2007.

What a great interview. I always loved his performance in Rocky Horror. -jcr

Always went to this dressed up! Meat!Effin! Loaf!!!

R.I.P. Meatloaf.

This is a great story. Man, what a great interview. Has Meatloaf written an autobiography? If so, I'll buy it tomorrow.

This was so cool how he sang his song from the movie.

I seem him to tonight! He is amazing live! Got a video of him crying on stage! Hes great

He really has gotten better with age.

MEAT RULES

Wow! Never seen him looking so good!

Rip legend

Rip Meat Loaf 💔🙏

"I panicked!" Understandable.

When I first saw the Rocky Horror Picture Show and saw that Dr. Scott and Eddie were related, I thought that maybe Eddie had been adopted by Dr. Scott's sister because the actor playing him looked nothing like Meat Loaf. When I later learned that they were supposed to be played by the same actor, it made a little more sense to me, but I still think that the movie version Eddie was Dr. Scott's adopted nephew.

R.i.p big fella

Świetny gość aktor piosenkarz

this reminds me of that time on f troop where agar's like "no way im not wearin a dress, no way! not no way!" and then its all like bloolooloop and agars wearin a dress

Oh my god my favorite film first of all, but Keith freaking moon was on the set!!!!!

Meat Loaf is bae...

I think he enjoyed doing what others said he could not do because of his size and the way he looked, guess he proved them all wrong. I noticed that he can play a villan role well also...

Meatloaf is fucking kickass!

Amen!!!!! I totally agree with you. Thank you for saying that. I'm a married straight woman BTW.

Great Story! Sharp Mind too, Those Lyrics given out as if he had just done performances!

WOW......#MeatLoaf LOOKS AMAZING...…..!!!

He's amazing, rocky horror and fightclub wouldn't be the same if he wasn't in them
