You’ve put together what I wanted to say about Meat Loaf a lot more eloquently than I managed, great work :smiley: Agree on the passion, it’s a proper rush of swelling energy every time he opens his mouth to deliver a line.

Agree. It has some much drama in it. I usually tire of it after rinsing it a bit but I’m on my 5th listen today (to Bat Out Of Hell the song). It has so much packed into it and not one dud second. To evoke motorbike revs via guitar is one hell of a masterstroke.

Biden in.
Meat Loaf blasting.

Today is a good day.

One take to record the motorcycle guitar and straight into the solo :open_mouth:

Fantastic. A motorbike mimicked by a guitar literally driving you out of Hell towards some kind of messed up salvation. Epic stuff.

It’s the massive arcs in it that do it. Them guttural lows then them soaring highs and the way them highs are strived for and reached.

Also the piano really adds to it. More traditional bands should use the piano. From light tinkering to the full key swoops.

Just fantastic.

Backing singers are so dead pan brilliant. Hilarious yet brilliant with it.

When he rips his jacket off around 3:08 :rofl:

Such a great song when you’ve just fucking had enough of everything. Enough of thinking and being serious, enough of worrying about the future, enough of trying to be cool, enough of yourself. It’s just a ridiculous celebration of the euphoria and stupidity of being alive in the moment imo.

Bit addicted to it now (Bat Out Of Hell the song).

Probably time to leave it alone for another 5 years now.

“and I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell”.

INCREDIBLE SONG.

Imagine if Eldritch (Sisters of Mercy) covered Bat Out Of Hell in that deadpan way. If only…

I’ve decided to give Bat out of Hell a listen to because of all the positive chat going on.
I’m up to 2 outa 3 and this is nuts in the best way :smiley:
I’m not sure how often I’d listen to it but the would you bare your throat to the wolf? bit is just insane.

I also love the story (I don’t know if it’s true) that Roadrunner Record brought the demo of Bloody Kisses (Type O Negative) to Jim Steinman who apparently just said that there was nothing more he could add to the album and sent it back. :smiley:

doing this now as well. it’s started with a ridiculously OTT three-minute double-tracked guitar solo, so i’m intrigued to see where it can go from here!

edit: the answer seems to be “Kiss covering Thunder Road”, which is fair enough

You know, if someone described a song that they were about to play me like that I would punch them in the mouth to stop them.
Turns out I would have been wrong. :slight_smile:
