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.

Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman Live at the Hudson Theater performing their gem together. His greatest performance ever.
This is one of few known live recordings of an early version of "Heaven Can Wait", a song sung by Meat Loaf in 1977. Jim Steinman, the writer, included it in a musical called "Neverland" in the early 1970s.
Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman Live at the Hudson Theater performing their Rocker together. You can even hear meat say "Jimmy Turn It Up Loud!!!!" Such a great performance.
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.

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.

[Lyrics Jim Steinman - Out of the Frying Pan And Into the Fire] It's only two o'clock and the temperature's beginning to soar And all around the city you see the walking wounded and the living dead It's never been this hot and I've never been so bored And breathing is just no fun anymore Then I saw you like a summer dream And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said I saw you like a summer dream And you're the answer to every prayer that I ever said You can feel the pulse of the pavement racing like a runaway horse The subways are sizzling and the skin of the streets is gleaming with sweat I've seen you sitting on the steps outside And you were looking so restless and reckless and lost I think it's time for you to come inside I'll be waiting here with something that you'll never ...
[Lyrics Jim Steinman - Left in the Dark] You don't have to sneak in the door Just come on into the room I've been lying in our bed in the dark all alone And I've been waiting, I've been waiting for you There's been no reason to move It's been as still as a tomb I needed you oh, so badly tonight But I guess you had better things to do I should have known that it was coming to this But I must have been blind I bet you still got a trace of his love in your eyes And you still got his eyes on your mind You swore you'd be with me at seven o'clock Now it's a quarter to three And whatever you got and whoever it was I guess you couldn't get it from me I know that you love me, there's no need to talk I see the look in your eyes and I got the proof And there are no lies on your body, so take off ...

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....."
