My mind is blown! I consider myself a HUGE music fan, and I can sing every song from Meatloaf and Cher, yet somehow I never knew this song existed! Thank you for introducing me to a new favorite!
Yes, it's Cher. And one of her friends is Linda Hamilton. His best (and most theatrical) videos are Michael Bay's spectacular works for Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are and Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through. Both have people you'll recognize in the video...one with connection to Linda Hamilton.
You mean Jim Steinman! If you want the pinnacle of his theatrical aspect with both the video production and his music, the next song should be his comeback song "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that.) HAS to be the official video, just trust me on this! The "drama nerd" in you will absolutely love that video!
"For Crying Out Loud" & "Heaven Can Wait" are 2 beautiful ballads by Meatloaf, just for a change of pace. Just so you can see how versatile and talented he was. 🎼🎙📽❤
You should do “For Crying Out Loud”. Meat Loaf says it’s the most beautiful song ever written- one by Jim Steinnman of course. I would have to agree ❤️❤️❤️
Nearly midnight here in the UK and you guys drop Meatloaf on me! That's no sleep for me tonight then! Seriously, have been watching you guys from pretty much the beginning and you guys have done so much stuff from my youth. Brilliant channel. Recommend The Who & Love,Reign over me, Daltry sceam will blow your socks off!
As I sit here hours later in the Eastern US, I'm thinking Eleanor Rigby and Meatloaf - it's like a double cheeseburger challenge. And I'll be up 'til 3 listening to Joplin, Jefferson Spaceship, yes The Who, Daltry and so many others. Why do they ruin our rest?
Cher was always very theatrical. Watch a old video clip of her song Halfbreed where she's on a horse and in Native American attire that's been "Cherified"
I was 40 years old and hard core country when I met my 31 year old husband. The first song he ever played for me from his collection was "You Took the Words Right Out of my Mouth". Well, I hated it....LOL. Could not understand a word Meat said and it made my head hurt. Well, after many times of hearing his songs on the cassette player in his truck, I began to understand the words and began to love Meat Loaf. I became a huge fan of his and have most of his albums. I never got to see him live but that was on my bucket list. I am so glad you guys love him too.
@@StGeorge67 Not even close. Anything for love was no 1 in 11 countries. Bat out of hell only charted in 3 of those countries and didn't even chart in the US. The album Bat out of hell is iconic though but even other songs on the album were bigger hits.
Jim Steinman is the genius you're thinking about. He's the songwriter for almost everything you'll see by Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler, and songs done from everyone from Celene Dion to Barry Manilow, to Air Supply to Barbra Streisand to..
You would like his big comeback song from the early 1990's. It was a power ballad called ' I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That). Very 'theatrical' with a 'Beauty & the Beast' concept. It went #1 in 28 countries, and was his only #1 song on the Billboard charts.
This music video is actually a part of an entire musical feature film - titled 'Dead Ringer' after the album - starring Meat Loaf in two roles. The plot is about Meat Loaf going on a tour and being driven halfway crazy by his managers and producers and such, while a nerdy mentally handicapped man who looks and sounds exactly like him follows him around the country trying to meet him. The "music videos" for the songs on the album are mostly fantasy sequences from the film where Meat Loaf is imagining or dreaming something. The movie is really obscure and never got a wide release but the whole thing is here on TH-cam.
Thanks for the info. I kind of remember that. He also starred in Roadie, “The bands make it rock, but the roadies make it roll.” Probably slaughtered that, still a fun movie.
You will never go wrong with Meatloaf. The writer behind the scenes is Jim Steinman!! Meatloaf can do it all, Power Rock, Ballads, story telling and he's a great actor!! You should check out 'Not a Dry Eye in The House' and 'Is Nothing Sacred Anymore' Probably my two favourite ballads by Meatloaf
Everytime I hear meatloaf it reminds me of my late Aunt Cindy. I have very fond memories of her and I singing meatloaf songs while sitting on her bed back in the late 70s and early 80s. She was only 10 years older than me and we were so close. Bob Seager was another one we would sing too. 💗
I remember seeing a documentary on Meatloaf and when he was down and out he put on shows and he always sincerely thanked the audience and you could actually tell he was sincerely grateful for keeping his music alive and showing up. They were always small shows.
I saw him in october 89 at a college auditorium. Very tiny place. Everyone came out of there saying 1) why is this guy playing this dump. 2) why is this guy no longer on radio? It was an amazingly good show
Meat Loaf, the musician, performer, and entertainer. The whole package. Always a great groove. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Glad you said Cher was theatrical she has some films you can react to Mask The witches of Eastwick Moonstruck (my fav) Mermaids (lots of fab songs to react to) Mama Mia here we go again(abba soundtrack)
Cher is perfect for this kind of melodramatic operatic style. A lot of her songs already have this sort of story telling drama to them. Gypsies Tramps and Thieves, Halfbreed, etc.. She's also a great actress in her own right as well as being a fantastic singer. Databyer
Trivia, during the entire video Cher was in "Commando", that means without pants, when she was put on the top of the bar, she was fully exposed in front at Meatloaf and that spiced up the video. She actually admitted that in a TV interview....
Great reaction to another one of the songs that make up the soundtrack to my life and times. Let me just amplify the suggestion that you check out "You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth". It's another Jim Steinman written Meat Loaf masterpiece. Whenever they got together it was magic.
Meat and Cher both grew up in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. In the late 1980s the two of them appeared on a UK chat show hosted by Terry Wogan. The second Meat appeared in the studio, he and Cher were just bouncing off each other and Meat was so talkative that poor Terry couldn't get a word in edgeways! It was broadcast on the 1st April, so I think someone at the BBC was pulling an April Fool's joke on Wogan, having those two big personalities on the same show together!
When I hear Rock Opera I also think of Rocky Horror Picture Show (which Meatloaf played a part in). Not sure if you've done any of those songs yet. If not, check out Time Warp for sure.
You should watch Rocky Horror Picture Show on your movie channel. It is really strange imho but has or had a real cult following. Movie theaters would run the movie after midnight and people would show up dressed up as characters from the movie.
Love being a part of the family. Enjoy your movie channel as well. Since you both love Meatloaf, you both should see the movie The Rocky horror picture show. Crazy story, fantastic soundtrack.
Steinman's lyrics are always inimitable, but this has to be his best work. 😂 "You got the kind of lips that do more than drink" "You got the kind of mind that does less than think!"
"Rock n Roll Dreams Come Through" is another fantastic Meatloaf song and video. There are some cameos from some very young, but well known actors in the video and the lyrics are fire! 🔥 Y'all still haven't done his most known and iconic song yet "I Would Do Anything for Love"...but he won't do that! Lol!
One Meatloaf song you should really check out is "Objects in the Rearview Mirror". Its one of his later songs and shows a much softer side of Meatloaf. But... Have a tissue ready.
Amber, for your "Drama Nerd" side, you have to check out "I'll Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf. It is a modern-ish "Beauty & the Beast" tale.
Oh my gosh, I haven't heard that song in a minute, that was fun, smiling all the way through that. I hope you have 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' on your movie 'to do' list, you will have a helluva good time with that (and so would we). Well, you made me smile, as always. ❤
Meatloaf and Cher.....how could you go wrong LOL. Meatloaf "Objects in the Rearview mirror" is crazy good and emotional. Also throwing this out their (Maybe Friday) "Love Goes On and On" Lyndsey Sterling feat Amy Lee.
You should watch his appereance on the old grey whistle test in the 1970s singing paradise by the dash board light. It was credited to really starting his career in the uk where everyone was asking to see more of him.
I'm very new here but keep coming back because the positivity is infectious. Would you please consider reacting to a Hawaiian singer named Israel Kamakawiwo'ole? He did a medley of What a Wonderful World/ Somewhere over the Rainbow in a single take as a demo that is legendary ( back in 1993 I believe.) Some people have chopped it into two separate songs but it's most uplifting in it's original combined form. Thank you for your channel
Jim Steinman is the guy who wrote a lot of Meat Loaf's hits, He also wrote other songs you may have heard of: "Total Eclipse of the Heart" = Bonnie Tyler "Holding Out For A Hero"- Bonnie Tyler "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" - Celine Dion "Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" - Air Supply "Read 'Em and Weep" - Barry Manilow Jim actually had a top 40 solo hit (with him singing) with the song "Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through".
Recommend Cher's Dark Lady for Female Friday. I only became familiar with this song when Meatloaf passed away because Cher mentioned the duet they had done. Somehow missed it when originally released. I think you will enjoy Meatloaf's film, Roadie, released in 1980 for your movie reaction channel. It has a great soundtrack and really great cameos from Debbie Harry and Blondie.
Have you guys heard/done "I Would Do Anything For Love" by Meatloaf? It's a masterpiece! "Heaven Can Wait" and "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" are great too - all are so theatrical you will love them!
Jim Steinman is the man who wrote Meatloafs songs. I think Amber will love I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, I'M GONNA LOVE HER FOR BOTH OF US and I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER.
Styx - Babe M - Pop Muzic Lipps Inc - Funky Town 4 PM - Sukiyaki A Taste Of Honey - Boogie Oogie Oogie Carl Douglas - Kung Fu Fighting Dr. Hook - Sharing The Night Together John Sebastian - Welcome Back Dazz Band - Let It Whip The Gap Band - Oops Up Side Your Head The Gap Band - Party Train The Gap Band - Burn Rubber On Me The Gap Band - Outstanding The Gap Band - Yearning For Your Love The Bat-Kays - Freak Show Starbuck - Moonlight Feels Right
Meatloaf,, Cher, Jim Steinman's writing and truly outstanding guitar and drumming. How can you NOT like "Deadringer for Love"! I like the quieter tracks like "Heaven Can Wait" as well. Of course there's also "Hot Patootie/Bless my Soul" on the Rocky Horror Show as well! Please, please review "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Show.
I Would Do Anything for Love, classic Meatloaf. Meatloaf was what I call an overachiever, he did it all. Some people just have all much talent they just gotta turn it out. Thanks for this memory.Smile
Yes, great song and video. Love his theatrics and songs. You really should watch on your movie reactions Cher in Moonstruck which is a fantastic movie and Meatloaf in Rocky Horror Picture Show.. Talk about rock opera!!!
I saw the title, and i was just, yeah! And my next thought was, hmm I wonder if they know this is with Cher? Two powerhouse. vocalists with a complete love for drama and theatrical flair, how could it lose? Amber, i am like you though, one of his songs starts and I cannot sit still. Love seeing your reactions, always a bright spot in my day.
Do, if you haven't already, "I Will Do Anything For Love" is a must see by Meat Loaf. It's one of his best. Another one to check out is "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth."
First music video to include extra sound effects, first music video to include dancers and won the award for Best music Video of the year at the cannes film festival Stuff of legend from 2 music legends in their own right ❤
Wow, love Meatloaf's consistent intensity! :o) Great back and forth between him and Cher! So fun. Sometime check out the fierce back and forth between Elton John and Millie Jackson performing "Act of War."
When Meatloaf was not able to record the written and ready to go follow up album to Bat Out of Hell, Jim Steinman did the lead vocals and released it as Bad for Good. A college area fav of mine. A few of the songs were to come back on later Meatloaf albums. In the tradition of great Meatloaf duets, check out Dance In My Pants, with Jim and Karla DeVito. Karla is the singer in the original Paradise video. You could also react to Bad for Good, Jim or Meatloaf's version. Also the very quick Love and Death and an American Guitar.
This is without a doubt one of the greatest unknown meatloaf songs ever.. I still have my copy on vinyl. Yes it's Cher. Jim Steinmann is the man behind meatloaf. Listen to his solo cd. Check out the song bad for good..
I wouldn't say it's unknown as iirc it was a top 10 hit in many countries. Everything Is Permitted or Peel Out on the album are usually overlooked Meatloaf tracks
The gentleman who is responsible for many of Meatloaf's songs is Jim Steinman, who just recently passed away. He has been called the Wagner of rock composers. Steinman did a solo album called "Bad for Good." You might want to check out: "Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through", "Dance in my Pants" and the title song "Bad for Good". Pure perfection. Also, this song to which you're reacting, "Dead Ringer" is, in my opinion one of Meatloaf's best songs, but you hardly ever hear about. With both Meatloaf and Cher, you can't beat it!
Meatloaf was in the original Rocky Horror Show on Broadway in 1973 and in the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975; and in the musical Hair on Broadway.
Jim Steinman wrote the Bat Out of Hell album. What a team, I grew up with this album. I totally transformed my Mums taste in music, she grew up with me! She loved all the different rock music I played. Aerosmith were her favourites. 😁
Hi Guys, I love this song, it's from his 1982 album Dead Ringer, it's Jim Steinman you're referring to, we sadly lost Jim last year, in January this year we sadly lost the legendary Meat Loaf at the age of 74, he was actually planning a new album and tour before he sadly passed away 🙏🙏 Check out I'd Do Anything For Love (But i Won't Do That), the music video for it is absolutely incredible!! 😀 😀 RIP Jim Steinman 🙏🙏 RIP Meat Loaf 🙏 🙏
First the song was really not in that movie dear tell me/@ s M linear loaf closing credits when Marvin sang it It’s not seen nor heard in that movie anywhere else I know he quite that damn song but in this fade case he had no creati I suggest and the inimical Jim Steinman sadhu died muck earlier than uThink and died much what I say is eat yyo verify You should dobe bontrol over the same song he fee before u come and spout crap yo ppl who are trying to be entstnrd and learn geurid of ur own ignorance of the subject before u passing it on to others who don’t know Be💸🌾 please
Is GREAT to watch folks that get Meatloaf's Brilliance at theatricality & Showmanship. You don't go to a Meatloaf "concert". It is a Storytelling. It is reading a phenomenally good book written in music. Thank you for making these ML vids & reminding a tired old man that he's not the last of his kind ;) lol
Meatloaf was the first rock act I got into, back in 1982. I used to call myself Mr Meatloaf as a nickname - well, it was better than the fare doled out to me by others, which is not to say it was bad, but I just like to be in charge of my own PR. Incidentally, the musical genius behind Meatloaf is... well, Meatloaf, but his long time friend and collaborator Jim Steinman was a genius too.
I see in the comments that it is mentioned already but For Crying Out Loud is hands down his best. Do the “official video”. You will not be disappointed
I'd love to see you react to the official video of "It's all coming back to me now" and what you think is happening there. God bless Meat Loaf and all the great memories he gave me through his songs.
i just saw jack black!! lmao...rob mentioned on another meatloaf video that he saw jack black when watching meatloaf...i couldnt make the connection but after seeing the 1st few minutes of this video, i can totally see the mannerisms of jack black in Meatloaf's performance...what a great reaction!
The name you were searching for is Jim Steinman. He also wrote for Bonnie Tyler so if you haven't heard it, I suggest you listen to her singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
This is rock's answer to Travolta and Newton-John, and I know which track I prefer out of this or "You're The One That I Want". This blows it out of the water!
Jay& Amber, you'll love his "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth"!!
That's my ringtone
"I bet you say that to all the boys"🤘🤣
Tioraidh an-drasta 🏴✌️
Yes, good one
Yes, yes, a million times yes! I have to admit I love about everything ML has ever put out, but his love songs are so touching.
One of my all time fav lyrics in that song......"I see the shooting stars falling through your trembling hands"
My mind is blown! I consider myself a HUGE music fan, and I can sing every song from Meatloaf and Cher, yet somehow I never knew this song existed! Thank you for introducing me to a new favorite!
Yes, it's Cher. And one of her friends is Linda Hamilton.
His best (and most theatrical) videos are Michael Bay's spectacular works for Objects In The Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are and Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through. Both have people you'll recognize in the video...one with connection to Linda Hamilton.
You mean Jim Steinman! If you want the pinnacle of his theatrical aspect with both the video production and his music, the next song should be his comeback song "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that.) HAS to be the official video, just trust me on this! The "drama nerd" in you will absolutely love that video!
i love Cher's "twang" in this song. their voices compliment each other and it takes a hell of a voice to keep up with Meatloaf.
"For Crying Out Loud" & "Heaven Can Wait" are 2 beautiful ballads by Meatloaf, just for a change of pace. Just so you can see how versatile and talented he was. 🎼🎙📽❤
I love “For Crying Out Loud”. Probably the most under appreciated song from Bat out of Hell!
You should do “For Crying Out Loud”. Meat Loaf says it’s the most beautiful song ever written- one by Jim Steinnman of course. I would have to agree ❤️❤️❤️
Came here to say this. Not one of his big hits but just the most over the top bearing your soul love song ever written.
I totally agree. I absolutely love this song.
Probably Meat Loaf's best recorded vocals.
By far his best performance and the lyrics are amazing!
When someone asked Meat Loaf in an interview who his favorite duet partner was, he said Cher. Love the energy here :) ♥♥
Nearly midnight here in the UK and you guys drop Meatloaf on me! That's no sleep for me tonight then! Seriously, have been watching you guys from pretty much the beginning and you guys have done so much stuff from my youth. Brilliant channel. Recommend The Who & Love,Reign over me, Daltry sceam will blow your socks off!
As I sit here hours later in the Eastern US, I'm thinking Eleanor Rigby and Meatloaf - it's like a double cheeseburger challenge. And I'll be up 'til 3 listening to Joplin, Jefferson Spaceship, yes The Who, Daltry and so many others. Why do they ruin our rest?
🤣🤣🤣
DUDE,your awesome.happens to me too.us vets come alive with the real stuff.i mean older stuff.
@@ooooooooo11111fjt Thank you for your service. I hope you are OK.
Speaking of Midnight - how about Midnight at the Lost and Found
Cher was always very theatrical. Watch a old video clip of her song Halfbreed where she's on a horse and in Native American attire that's been "Cherified"
Heaven can wait is a great Meatloaf song. Slower and really showcases his voice. It’s always been one of my favorites.
I was 40 years old and hard core country when I met my 31 year old husband. The first song he ever played for me from his collection was "You Took the Words Right Out of my Mouth". Well, I hated it....LOL. Could not understand a word Meat said and it made my head hurt.

I never got to see him live but that was on my bucket list. I am so glad you guys love him too.
You must check out, Meatloaf in, Rocky Horror Picture Show, “Hot Patootie-Bless Me Soul”.
That film is a must-watch for the other channel too!
You still haven't done arguably Meat Loafs biggest song which is "I would do anything for love (but I won't do that)".
Bat out of Hell???
@@StGeorge67 Not even close. Anything for love was no 1 in 11 countries. Bat out of hell only charted in 3 of those countries and didn't even chart in the US. The album Bat out of hell is iconic though but even other songs on the album were bigger hits.
Jim Steinman is the genius you're thinking about. He's the songwriter for almost everything you'll see by Meat Loaf and Bonnie Tyler, and songs done from everyone from Celene Dion to Barry Manilow, to Air Supply to Barbra Streisand to..
“Two out of Three Ain’t Bad” is where Meatloaf gives a class on how to do a ballad.
Just awesome 👍 , we were spoiled because we thought music was going to sound great forever. Long live the 60s,70s and 80s !
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
You would like his big comeback song from the early 1990's. It was a power ballad called ' I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That). Very 'theatrical' with a 'Beauty & the Beast' concept. It went #1 in 28 countries, and was his only #1 song on the Billboard charts.

Thanks! Going camping so I’m loading it up 😉
You will never go wrong with Meatloaf. The writer behind the scenes is Jim Steinman!!
Meatloaf can do it all, Power Rock, Ballads, story telling and he's a great actor!!
You should check out 'Not a Dry Eye in The House' and 'Is Nothing Sacred Anymore'
Probably my two favourite ballads by Meatloaf
Meatloaf was a die hard Trump supporter a average, at best, singer and disgusting to look at. Everything about him is wrong.
Everytime I hear meatloaf it reminds me of my late Aunt Cindy. I have very fond memories of her and I singing meatloaf songs while sitting on her bed back in the late 70s and early 80s. She was only 10 years older than me and we were so close.
Bob Seager was another one we would sing too. 💗
May I add 'Objects in the rear view mirror' to that list? Great video too...
The guy that helped Meat Loaf write a lot of his stuff was Jim Steinman. He died just last year. He also worked with Bonnie Tyler and Air Supply.
Meat wasn't a song writer. All that epic stuff, words & music are by Jim Steinman. They were a perfect paring, Meat's voice/delivery & Jim's music.
Yeah he and ML passed so close to each other, an incredible song writing duo. Whatever may be in the great beyond…you cant beat their band.
Jim wrote all of it… Meat just gave it life.
Jim Steinman wrote the songs. Meatloaf brought them to life.
I remember seeing a documentary on Meatloaf and when he was down and out he put on shows and he always sincerely thanked the audience and you could actually tell he was sincerely grateful for keeping his music alive and showing up. They were always small shows.
He was awesome!! I saw him pre Back into
I saw him in october 89 at a college auditorium. Very tiny place. Everyone came out of there saying 1) why is this guy playing this dump. 2) why is this guy no longer on radio? It was an amazingly good show
Life is a lemon and I want my money back is one of my favorites. Highly recommend that one.
I'm a fan of Meatloaf and this is the first time I've heard this song.
Glad you covered it
Meat Loaf, the musician, performer, and entertainer. The whole package. Always a great groove. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️ ❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦
Cher won an Oscar for Best Actress for the movie Moonstruck.
They should for sure watch that movie, it's so wonderful!😍 🇬🇧 x
So beautiful to see these two young things fully appreciating the amazing magic of Meatloaf
Glad you said Cher was theatrical she has some films you can react to
Mask
The witches of Eastwick
Moonstruck (my fav)
Mermaids (lots of fab songs to react to)
Mama Mia here we go again(abba soundtrack)
Don't forget burlesque!!! Haven't seen the last of me!!
I love Mask, but it always makes me cry. The Witches of Eastwick and Burlesque are my favourites.
Another killer Meat Loaf classic …. Heaven Can Wait is and absolute MUST. It’s a slow song but Jay will freak and fall in love with him for sure !!
Definitely! The piano in that song is beautiful. 🙂❤
Possibly Steinmans most simple but effective song
Meat Loaf - Two out of three ain't bad - You took the words right out of my mouth - Rock n Roll Dreams come through
Cher is perfect for this kind of melodramatic operatic style. A lot of her songs already have this sort of story telling drama to them. Gypsies Tramps and Thieves, Halfbreed, etc.. She's also a great actress in her own right as well as being a fantastic singer. Databyer
Trivia, during the entire video Cher was in "Commando", that means without pants, when she was put on the top of the bar, she was fully exposed in front at Meatloaf and that spiced up the video. She actually admitted that in a TV interview....
You haven't experienced Meat Loaf until you listen to For Crying Out Loud. You must!
Great reaction to another one of the songs that make up the soundtrack to my life and times.
Let me just amplify the suggestion that you check out "You Took The Words Right Out of My Mouth". It's another Jim Steinman written Meat Loaf masterpiece. Whenever they got together it was magic.
Man I love Meatloaf!! The guy was amazing!! Cher is a goddess too!
Love how much you love Meat Loaf! He is my absolute favorite ever. Doesn’t matter what kind of day you’re having, he always makes it better!
Absolutely. No matter how rough life gets, every now and then I remember to be grateful to live in the world where Meatloaf and Steinman made music ☺
Need to do You Took The Words Out of My Mouth and For Crying Out Loud!! The ending is epic on drums
Meat and Cher both grew up in the Dallas / Fort Worth area. In the late 1980s the two of them appeared on a UK chat show hosted by Terry Wogan. The second Meat appeared in the studio, he and Cher were just bouncing off each other and Meat was so talkative that poor Terry couldn't get a word in edgeways!

You should watch Rocky Horror Picture Show on your movie channel. It is really strange imho but has or had a real cult following. Movie theaters would run the movie after midnight and people would show up dressed up as characters from the movie.
Another really good one is Love her for both of us.
Love being a part of the family. Enjoy your movie channel as well. Since you both love Meatloaf, you both should see the movie The Rocky horror picture show. Crazy story, fantastic soundtrack.
Cher is a gift to the world!
Steinman's lyrics are always inimitable, but this has to be his best work. 😂 "You got the kind of lips that do more than drink" "You got the kind of mind that does less than think!"
Meatloaf - I would do anything for love (but I won't do that) huge hit y'all haven't done yet. Great video
He was simply amazing. Ya’ll need to check out “I’d do anything for love (but I won’t do that)”. It was always my favorite!
"Rock n Roll Dreams Come Through" is another fantastic Meatloaf song and video. There are some cameos from some very young, but well known actors in the video and the lyrics are fire! 🔥
Y'all still haven't done his most known and iconic song yet "I Would Do Anything for Love"...but he won't do that! Lol!
Awesome - asked for this one a few times I think. Thank you!
The first rock opera to me was The Who , Tommy. Next is Rocky Horror Picture Show , with Meatloaf. Then hass to be , Little Shop of Horrors.
One Meatloaf song you should really check out is "Objects in the Rearview Mirror". Its one of his later songs and shows a much softer side of Meatloaf.
But... Have a tissue ready.
Amber, for your "Drama Nerd" side, you have to check out "I'll Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That)" by Meatloaf. It is a modern-ish "Beauty & the Beast" tale.
Oh my gosh, I haven't heard that song in a minute, that was fun, smiling all the way through that. I hope you have 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' on your movie 'to do' list, you will have a helluva good time with that (and so would we). Well, you made me smile, as always. ❤
I've listened to 4 of your meatloaf videos. There 2 more songs " I'd do anything for love" and " I'd lie for you"
Meatloaf and Cher.....how could you go wrong LOL. Meatloaf "Objects in the Rearview mirror" is crazy good and emotional. Also throwing this out their (Maybe Friday) "Love Goes On and On" Lyndsey Sterling feat Amy Lee.
You should watch his appereance on the old grey whistle test in the 1970s singing paradise by the dash board light. It was credited to really starting his career in the uk where everyone was asking to see more of him.
I'm very new here but keep coming back because the positivity is infectious.
Would you please consider reacting to a Hawaiian singer named Israel Kamakawiwo'ole? He did a medley of What a Wonderful World/ Somewhere over the Rainbow in a single take as a demo that is legendary ( back in 1993 I believe.) Some people have chopped it into two separate songs but it's most uplifting in it's original combined form.
Thank you for your channel
you have to watch Rocky Horror Picture Show for some Meatloaf in a movie. And so much more more.
The bassline for this track is completely fantastic. I'd love to find it isloated.
Jim Steinman is the guy who wrote a lot of Meat Loaf's hits, He also wrote other songs you may have heard of:
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" = Bonnie Tyler
"Holding Out For A Hero"- Bonnie Tyler
"It's All Coming Back To Me Now" - Celine Dion
"Making Love Out Of Nothing At All" - Air Supply
"Read 'Em and Weep" - Barry Manilow
Jim actually had a top 40 solo hit (with him singing) with the song "Rock And Roll Dreams Come Through".
Recommend Cher's Dark Lady for Female Friday. I only became familiar with this song when Meatloaf passed away because Cher mentioned the duet they had done. Somehow missed it when originally released. I think you will enjoy Meatloaf's film, Roadie, released in 1980 for your movie reaction channel. It has a great soundtrack and really great cameos from Debbie Harry and Blondie.
This song was from Roadie I think.
Have you guys heard/done "I Would Do Anything For Love" by Meatloaf? It's a masterpiece! "Heaven Can Wait" and "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth" are great too - all are so theatrical you will love them!
Jim Steinman is the man who wrote Meatloafs songs. I think Amber will love I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE, I'M GONNA LOVE HER FOR BOTH OF US and I COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER.
You need to listen to Not A Dry Eye In The House. Massively underrated and underplayed.

On your movie list you need to do the "ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW" where Meatloaf first came to public notice in the role of "Eddie".
Hey Guys,
I love it.
Even J was getting down on this one. "Deep Shoulder Action."
Love you guys.
Meatloaf,, Cher, Jim Steinman's writing and truly outstanding guitar and drumming. How can you NOT like "Deadringer for Love"! I like the quieter tracks like "Heaven Can Wait" as well. Of course there's also "Hot Patootie/Bless my Soul" on the Rocky Horror Show as well! Please, please review "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Show.
I Would Do Anything for Love, classic Meatloaf. Meatloaf was what I call an overachiever, he did it all. Some people just have all much talent they just gotta turn it out. Thanks for this memory.Smile
Loved Cher since "I Got You Babe". Heard "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and became a die-hard Meatloaf fan. The two together, . . . I'm done.
“I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) - official music video. Maybe this song will make Jordan love Meat Loaf as much as Amber does.
For some reason, you guys make me appreciate the music from my life even more. 😁👍
Yes, great song and video. Love his theatrics and songs. You really should watch on your movie reactions Cher in Moonstruck which is a fantastic movie and Meatloaf in Rocky Horror Picture Show.. Talk about rock opera!!!
Oh Cher definitely knows how to bring it with the acting considering she's done several movies just like Dolly Parton has.
I saw the title, and i was just, yeah! And my next thought was, hmm I wonder if they know this is with Cher? Two powerhouse. vocalists with a complete love for drama and theatrical flair, how could it lose? Amber, i am like you though, one of his songs starts and I cannot sit still. Love seeing your reactions, always a bright spot in my day.
Do, if you haven't already, "I Will Do Anything For Love" is a must see by Meat Loaf. It's one of his best. Another one to check out is "You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth."
You really should check out "you took the words right out of my mouth"
First music video to include extra sound effects, first music video to include dancers and won the award for Best music Video of the year at the cannes film festival
Stuff of legend from 2 music legends in their own right ❤
Watching Rob shimmy his way through this song was everything I needed in my life today. Thank you so much! Stay awesome y'all.
Wow, love Meatloaf's consistent intensity! :o) Great back and forth between him and Cher! So fun. Sometime check out the fierce back and forth between Elton John and Millie Jackson performing "Act of War."
Meatloaf was interviewed and said “Cher sang her ass off!” She always does! She’s CHER!❤
When Meatloaf was not able to record the written and ready to go follow up album to Bat Out of Hell, Jim Steinman did the lead vocals and released it as Bad for Good. A college area fav of mine. A few of the songs were to come back on later Meatloaf albums. In the tradition of great Meatloaf duets, check out Dance In My Pants, with Jim and Karla DeVito. Karla is the singer in the original Paradise video. You could also react to Bad for Good, Jim or Meatloaf's version. Also the very quick Love and Death and an American Guitar.
This is without a doubt one of the greatest unknown meatloaf songs ever.. I still have my copy on vinyl. Yes it's Cher. Jim Steinmann is the man behind meatloaf. Listen to his solo cd. Check out the song bad for good..
I wouldn't say it's unknown as iirc it was a top 10 hit in many countries. Everything Is Permitted or Peel Out on the album are usually overlooked Meatloaf tracks
That’s a compliment, 2 both, “AMAZING “ Talents 😎
The gentleman who is responsible for many of Meatloaf's songs is Jim Steinman, who just recently passed away. He has been called the Wagner of rock composers. Steinman did a solo album called "Bad for Good." You might want to check out: "Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through", "Dance in my Pants" and the title song "Bad for Good". Pure perfection. Also, this song to which you're reacting, "Dead Ringer" is, in my opinion one of Meatloaf's best songs, but you hardly ever hear about. With both Meatloaf and Cher, you can't beat it!
Meatloaf was in the original Rocky Horror Show on Broadway in 1973 and in the movie Rocky Horror Picture Show in 1975; and in the musical Hair on Broadway.
Jim Steinman wrote the Bat Out of Hell album. What a team, I grew up with this album.
I totally transformed my Mums taste in music, she grew up with me! She loved all the different rock music I played. Aerosmith were her favourites. 😁
Hi Guys, I love this song, it's from his 1982 album Dead Ringer, it's Jim Steinman you're referring to, we sadly lost Jim last year, in January this year we sadly lost the legendary Meat Loaf at the age of 74, he was actually planning a new album and tour before he sadly passed away 🙏🙏
Check out I'd Do Anything For Love (But i Won't Do That), the music video for it is absolutely incredible!! 😀 😀
RIP Jim Steinman 🙏🙏
RIP Meat Loaf 🙏 🙏
First the song was really not in that movie dear tell me/@ s
M linear loaf closing credits when Marvin sang it
It’s not seen nor heard in that movie anywhere else I know he quite that damn song but in this fade case he had no creati
I suggest and the inimical Jim Steinman sadhu died muck earlier than uThink and died much what I say is eat yyo verify
You should dobe bontrol over the same song he fee before u come and spout crap yo ppl who are trying to be entstnrd and learn geurid of ur own ignorance of the subject before u passing it on to others who don’t know
Be💸🌾 please
Wish you could have seen him live... He brought the same energy to his shows.
Is GREAT to watch folks that get Meatloaf's Brilliance at theatricality & Showmanship. You don't go to a Meatloaf "concert". It is a Storytelling. It is reading a phenomenally good book written in music. Thank you for making these ML vids & reminding a tired old man that he's not the last of his kind ;) lol
For Crying Out Loud … ultimate wonderful song!!!
Another brilliant Steinman lyric. "I'm looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction."
Jim Steinman is THE BRAINS behind Meat Loaf
great guys
Its great to see the joy and happyness good music can bring!! One love
“I’d do anything for love” is the most epic ML song ever. Must listen to full version. Radio cut about 5 minutes out
Meatloaf was the first rock act I got into, back in 1982. I used to call myself Mr Meatloaf as a nickname - well, it was better than the fare doled out to me by others, which is not to say it was bad, but I just like to be in charge of my own PR. Incidentally, the musical genius behind Meatloaf is... well, Meatloaf, but his long time friend and collaborator Jim Steinman was a genius too.
I see in the comments that it is mentioned already but For Crying Out Loud is hands down his best. Do the “official video”. You will not be disappointed
I'd love to see you react to the official video of "It's all coming back to me now" and what you think is happening there. God bless Meat Loaf and all the great memories he gave me through his songs.
i just saw jack black!! lmao...rob mentioned on another meatloaf video that he saw jack black when watching meatloaf...i couldnt make the connection but after seeing the 1st few minutes of this video, i can totally see the mannerisms of jack black in Meatloaf's performance...what a great reaction!
The name you were searching for is Jim Steinman. He also wrote for Bonnie Tyler so if you haven't heard it, I suggest you listen to her singing "Total Eclipse of the Heart".
This is rock's answer to Travolta and Newton-John, and I know which track I prefer out of this or "You're The One That I Want". This blows it out of the water!
