One of my all time favourites passed away today, I have been to many of his concerts, saw him whenever he came to Australia. Thanks for the music Marvin, you will be much missed.  Gary |

RIP Meatloaf
Great music! He has a once in several lifetimes story of how he was "involved" in the JFK Assassination aftermath when he was a youth. He was also a very good actor.

I read it this morning.  Musicians I knew from my childhood are getting to that age... |

The combination of Meatloaf and Jim Steinman was one of those combinations that was magical.

It's interesting to note that he only got into performing after showing up for a job parking cars. He argued that he could make more money parking cars than what was being offered to perform. The fateful decision was made to perform.

^^^^ That was very moving, didn't expect that. Thanks Gary.
So, the Queen is a Meatloaf fan?

I put him on last night, loud. As a singer, he always brought it, he sang each song like he meant every word and it would be the last he would ever sing.

I saw him about 30 years ago at a really small venue in Calgary Alberta (home town). The voice... Wow. The Energy output from him in a 2 hour + show.... amazing, was still a rather large man at that point. I figured there was no way he would survive that show. Its to bad that every project took a long time to be released. But I guess that time was put to good use to give us all some amazing songs. Both of my kids can sing a long to basically his entire catalog as Meatloaf was a regular on the weekend playlist. And now I make sure that the crew outside in the smoking tent gets a good dose every morning. Its great once your kids are grown and you can spend a little disposable income on yourself. I love my car stereo now.  |
