Plot: "Meat Loaf" Aday is an overgrown Texas youngster, the son of a gentle woman dying of cancer and an alcoholic, abusive father. Tormented by his father and schoolmates over his size, he strikes out on his own after his mother's death, in an impossible task to prove himself to the world and to himself. A chance audition for a musical leads him to join forces with composer Jim Steinman, and together the two make music history with the operatic rock album "Bat Out of Hell." But the demons that drive Meat Loaf aren't assuaged by success, and eventually he must come to terms with them.

Neverland was a musical written by Jim Steinman back in the mid-1970's, and was a reworked version of his previous musical, The Dream Engine. It contains many of the songs (and was the inspiration for many more) that appeared on Meat Loaf's first two Bat Out Of Hell Albums, as well as Jim Steinman's album, Bad For Good. I know this was already on Youtube before (minus the last track), but I compiled it into one long video for your viewing pleasure.

Aaron Wilde talks about the musical structure of this amazing song in great detail for 30 minutes. The song was originally written by Jim Steinman for Meat Loaf, but was subsequently released instead by Bonnie Tyler, becoming a number one hit in the UK during 1983. You will need to turn the volume up as I speak quietly but sing loudly!
EP282 9/14/16 Meat Loaf has one of the biggest selling albums of all time, "Bat Out Of Hell," and some great stories about making it, supporting it, and dealing with the fame that accompanied it. He's talking songwriting, collaborating with writer Jim Steinman, being an actor playing a singer, and losing songs to other famous vocalists (like Celine Dion & Bonnie Tyler). He's also sharing his brand new studio album, "Braver Than We Are," and why he thinks it's the best one yet. And he'll even explain why he did not like his now son-in-law, Scott Ian from Anthrax, when he first met him.

Análise da música "Tonight is What it Means to be Young", do compositor norte-americano Jim Steinman, tema do filme musical "Streets of Fire", um clássico da década de 80. Assista a aula e confira a música na íntegra aqui: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wCIrPJ6SBl4 Tradução da letra: http://www.vagalume.com.br/fire-inc/tonight-is-what-it-means-to-be-young-traducao-2.html Como eu disse, a tradução tem algumas palavras que eu não traduziria assim, como o próprio título da música, "Tonight is what it means to be young", que eu traduziria como "Hoje é isso que significa ser jovem", uma tradução mais literal, mas que julgo mais coerente com a ideia do texto em sua totalidade.

The late Roger Scott interviews Def Leppard's Joe Elliott and Rick Allen the week before the release of "Hysteria." Straight from the raw tape (complete with interruptions), the band discusses when they finished the album, working with Jim Steinman, Rick's accident, how the band gets along, the "Hysteria" recording sessions being either legendary or a laughing stock to the outside world, Joe's "Hysteria" sales projections, Joe's vocal troubles, the band's bad luck during the recording of the album, the 1986 shows, Rick's return and the album title, how the success of "Pyromania" changed them, choosing the songs for the "Hysteria" album, compact discs and if they will outsell cassettes, comparing "Hysteria" to other classic albums, a very outdated opinion on Bon Jovi, the rock scene and ban...

I remember everything!
I remember every little thing as if it happened only yesterday.I was barely 17 and I once killed a boy with a fender guitar.
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster,but i do remember
that it had a heart of chrome and a voice like a horny angel.
I don't remember if it was a Telecaster or a Stratocaster, but I do remember
that it wasn't at all easy.
It required the perfect combination of the right powerchords and the precise angle
from which to strike.
The guitar bled for about a week afterwards and the blood was
ooh...
dark and rich like wild berries.
The blood of the guitar was Chuck Berry red!
The guitar bled for about a week afterwards and it rung out beautifully ,
and I was able to play notes that I had never even heard before.
So I took my guitar and I smashed it against the wall!!
I smashed it against the floor!!
I smashed it against the body of a varsity cheerleader!!
I smashed it against the hood of a car
I smashed it agianst a 1981-Harley Davidson...
The Harley howled in pain, the guitar howled in heat!
I ran up the stairs to my parents bedroom
Mommy and Daddy were sleeping in the moonlight
slowly I opened the door creeping in the shadows right up to the foot of the bed
I raised my guitar high above my head and just as I was
about to bring the guitar crashing down upon the center of the bed
my father woke up screaming:
"stop...wait a minute..stop it,boy"
"what do you think you're doing???
That's no way to treat an expensive musical instrument"
And I said "god damn it, daddy!!!You know I love you....."
