I didn't know meatloaf personally. He was a member of a exclusive country club I worked at in the mid 90s. I can say, everytime he came by he would have a conversation with me. What made his conversations different from other members. Meatloaf was always genuine in conversation, it was never a formality. He enjoyed the conversations and he listened just as much as he spoke. I always felt meatloaf was my favorite member of that country club. He was such a good person. Thank you for the memories, condolences to his wonderful family.
Meatloaf is the rock star that wasn’t meant to be. No one was looking for a fat guy guy who sang operatic rock with a frilly shirt and a handkerchief. But his talent made him undeniable.
Reasons why I loved ML. He was so authentic, unapologetic. He spoke his mind. But yet was very authentic and showed his flaws. In other words he was as real as they get. The man walked around with his heart in his hand. Much love to him and his loved ones. 🥰😍❤️
I think he was sexy as hell even as he grew older. Just wish he hadn’t cut his beautiful hair. I would have fallen deeply in love with him back in the day!
yes, you are so right, I saw him once in Germany, 30yrs ago, it was so absolutely great. He had such a presence and radiation in his voice and expression, so powerful, but tender.... just unique and irreplaceable.
What a Legend . Meatloaf , you will NEVER be forgotten by the fans !!! You always sang beautifully . And so cute too. Your music will live on forever. R. I. P. 😭 💙🙏
What a real, authentic, warm human being. I never knew much about him but after I heard him sing the National Anthem I was so moved to tears I had to know more about him. The more I saw the more I felt like I knew him. I discovered something about him that touched my heart even more. The man sings with passion and he can sing just about anything. Love him. May he Rest In Peace.
@@teo5836 Don't be so haughty. Theologians interpret it differently. Some say we go straight to Heaven, others say we lay in the grave until the second coming of Christ. I side with the theologians that say we go straight to Heaven. But frankly, it's not a big deal. What matters is the gospel. So instead of being self-righteous, share the gospel that saves.
@@TheMidnightModder there’s no misinterpreting “The living know that they will die but the dead know not anything”. That means when we die we aren’t CONSCIOUS. So what theologians are you talking about? You should side with plain scripture. And read scripture in context and consider the Hebrew or the Greek.
My aunt Leslie, God rest her soul, LOVED Meatloaf. Whenever I see him, or one of his CD's, I think of her. Also, nice upload. Meatloaf is such a wiseass!
He gave it all in his performances! I had never heard Life is a lemon before..What an awesome song! I think it is the perfect song for our current time.
To hear Meat before the nasal passages get tighter is bringing back memories.....I didn't have much time to listen to music back then but I made up for it after the turn of the century.
I was in vacation in South America with my family when the August 12 1982 Meatloaf telecast aired. Was in the Caribbean Island San Andres August 25 1982 for my birthday. Fun times. Living in Queens NY with my folks and siblings. Meatloaf was one of my sisters idols. RIP .

Meat looked Great in the Early 90's Really dropped the weight and was singing GREAT! He was so funny and always had a good story about how his name came to be.
Thank you so much for posting this! I'm really enjoying it! Meatloaf was absolutely precious!! Love him forever! (The band too, wow!) We just lost a very special part of our lives. We were blessed to have Meatloaf! And Letterman's The Man!
Thank you. I always felt like I was the only one who thought he was such a good looking guy! I was only 12yrs old in 1987 when I first heard him and the look on my uncle's face when I asked for his album for Christmas was priceless. I recall my friends even in the early 90's who thought I made up a singer called meatloaf until they went home and asked their parent's!! Lol 😂🤣 The other night I was watching youtube video's of him and the next morning the news announced his passing, I was heartbroken!! I will love him until the end of time. ❤
"PHENOMENAL!!!" SO MANY PEOPLE IN OUR WORLD SHOULD BE SO HUMBLE & SO BLESSED AS THIS MAN... WITH SUCH HEART & TALENT!!! MAY GOD BLESS YOU... MEATLOAF!!! ALWAYS ~ AMEN♡
Meatloaf what a blast from the past. A big part of my teenage years till the present day. Your music got me through some difficult times in my life. What a great grounded guy. Your music will last an eternity. RIP My friend.
MeatLoaf was incredible He alway's gave his fans 100% R.I.P Meatloaf Another Icon taken to the Rock and Roll Heaven What a Hell of a Band there would be. KEEP ON ROCKIN!
I hope you and Jim are shooting with the stars and flying with the angels. I'll miss you Meat. You have been my favorite since I was 9 years old, 26 years ago. When I first heard "I'd do anything for love", it was love at first listen.
Wonderful memories. Saw him live in 78 at Rutgers in small venue 1000 or so incredible, again not sure, DC where he took a gainer off the stage, left for hour came back and finished the show. One of the greatest rock performers of all time
I was born in 74 and my mother would take me and my older sister to my grans at weekends where my mums younger brother my lunatic Uncle Trev used to always have Bat out of hell blasting out full blast... i would have only been about four or five years old but i distinctly remember that album, and what an album it was. Really sad to hear of his passing. Rest in peace Meatloaf, gone but never forgotten.
Thank you for sharing this, its a pitty about the watermark on 1999 clip. Great performances had the pleasure of seen ML live 9 times and met him 3 times sadly missed but his music and memories will live on forever Keep rocking up there Meat with Jim.
I watched his life story the other night he will be an icon in American history if someone says like a bat out of hell they will always think of meatloaf
I watched that 2. I felt so sorry for him how he was treated as a child. No Wonder he had a temper when things went wrong. But... He persisted and he was eventually a Legend. The thing that got me was his then Girlfriend Leslie gave him her scarf at a gig a red 1 and he carried it for years when he did concerts IM not sure why they split but I guess they had their reasons
@@debmcpartland9528 I’ve read everything I can find on this great man. In 1st interview here he adjusted ring on his left hand then put hand on the desk facing front as if he were showing it off. Made me think he was so happy to have met and married Leslie. Just a quick gesture but a “tell”, very endearing. At least 22 years together. Once he said him being workaholic was a problem.
i think one of reasons Letterman had Meatloaf on so many times was because he so admired him and he was amuch loved friend who will miss him as will his fans RIP MEATLOAF and his partner Jeff Stellman
Love this, so cool to see Meat and Letterman throughout the years. I wonder who chooses the songs for this show and others...good songs, but not the best representation of his incredible voice and amazing range.
Rip #MeatLoaf you are, have been and will be a wonderful human being... You leave an invaluable legacy in music... Now you sing in heaven with the angels
The cover of Bat Out of Hell scared me as a little boy, but as a man his music moved me to rock n roll. He created the rock opera and Bat Out of Hell is the third best selling album of all time. And he didn't take Gary Busey's shit. A legend, a pioneer, an innovator. You will be missed by all.
I can't say that I've followed his career or even an ardent fan....but a song like "I'll do anything for love...but I won't do that!"....cuts right into my bones. Kind of like Joe Cocker singing, "With a little help from my friends." The pull that songs like that have from a particular artist just endure as greatness.
I didn't know meatloaf personally. He was a member of a exclusive country club I worked at in the mid 90s. I can say, everytime he came by he would have a conversation with me.

Thank you for sharing
RIP Meat loaf. You were an amazing man.
:-(
So true
The best... Shit is born or comes to the 🇺🇸 now...
Thanks bro
he didnt get vaccine. and get covid. he wanted this
MeatLoaf 's voice will echo across decades forever!!. RIP Meat you will be missed....
i can sing like him and im a woman. scary right
Meatloaf is the rock star that wasn’t meant to be. No one was looking for a fat guy guy who sang operatic rock with a frilly shirt and a handkerchief. But his talent made him undeniable.
I'm back here watching again in memory of Meat Loaf. 💖
All rock stations should pay tribute to this man!! Nothing but Meatloaf everyday for the rest of 2022.
What a likeable guy, nice to see him in the 80s so young, what a personality! Such an awesome singer!!

Yeah he was just so laid back. No arrogance- he’s just a bro,
R.I.P King
We were all so young and full of life. Thank you, Meatloaf, for the memories and being with us on the journey.
Reasons why I loved ML. He was so authentic, unapologetic. He spoke his mind. But yet was very authentic and showed his flaws. In other words he was as real as they get. The man walked around with his heart in his hand. Much love to him and his loved ones. 🥰😍❤️
Indeed! I couldn’t have said it better myself! You spoke my mind!!
You said it beautifully.
I think he was sexy as hell even as he grew older. Just wish he hadn’t cut his beautiful hair. I would have fallen deeply in love with him back in the day!
His death really hurt me and my mother on a personal level. We grew up with this guy. Sorry…. This legend.
Me too...
Same!
My heart goes out to you - I really liked both meat and Jim steinman. I was also saddened when Warren zevon passed - another huge loss.
Same and I played Heaven can wait at my dad's funeral :-(
I saw him live several years back, he was such a showman. I am so glad I went to that show. I don't think anyone had more fun getting the crowd going.
yes, you are so right, I saw him once in Germany, 30yrs ago, it was so absolutely great. He had such a presence and radiation in his voice and expression, so powerful, but tender.... just unique and irreplaceable.
As long as Meat Loaf is remembered he will live on, and gain new fans.
He has a lovely smile , brings tears to my eyes.😹
What a Legend . Meatloaf , you will NEVER be forgotten by the fans !!! You always sang beautifully . And so cute too. Your music will live on forever. R. I. P. 😭 💙🙏
RIP Meatloaf. I love these old Letterman videos of fantastic musicians who have passed on. This is classic rock preserved for future generations.
Without saying a word, Meatloaf makes me smile. Opens his mouth, and my smile only gets bigger. I've always loved this man and his music.
What a real, authentic, warm human being. I never knew much about him but after I heard him sing the National Anthem I was so moved to tears I had to know more about him. The more I saw the more I felt like I knew him. I discovered something about him that touched my heart even more. The man sings with passion and he can sing just about anything. Love him. May he Rest In Peace.
Meatloaf will never really die!
Jim and Meat are in heaven writing a new album..
Instead of “heaven can wait”…it’s now: “heaven is great”….
No. They are asleep in the grave until the first resurrection or second. Read your Bible.
Allows best go 2 the best

Meat looked Great in the Early 90's Really dropped the weight and was singing GREAT!
He was so funny and always had a good story about how his name came to be.
I think he was one of those people who were attractive even worh his weight.
@@olgafigueroa2909 Yes!!! SO attractive always.

Me too, I definitely agree. I have watched these performances over and over
Still can't believe he's gone... 😢
Superb! Thank-you, for this and, R.I.P., Mr. Aday.
Actually he is/was a quite good looking guy
Thank you. I always felt like I was the only one who thought he was such a good looking guy!

Meatloaf what a blast from the past. A big part of my teenage years till the present day. Your music got me through some difficult times in my life. What a great grounded guy. Your music will last an eternity. RIP My friend.

"Couldn't hear for 10 days after attending a Ted Nugent concert." LOL. Same here!
I hope you and Jim are shooting with the stars and flying with the angels.
I'll miss you Meat. You have been my favorite since I was 9 years old, 26 years ago. When I first heard "I'd do anything for love", it was love at first listen.
Rest In Peace Meat Loaf 1/21/22
what a great guest Meat was
The incredible Meatloaf
He had a beautiful smile, very attractive man!
You can see how, in addition to being a great singer, he's so theatrical
Rest in peace Meat...we love you.
So unbelievably talented! Thank You Meatloaf!
Wonderful memories. Saw him live in 78 at Rutgers in small venue 1000 or so incredible, again not sure, DC where he took a gainer off the stage, left for hour came back and finished the show. One of the greatest rock performers of all time
Don’t forget Jimmy Steinman.
Badass!! 1978!? That's insane!
At 14:15 AMAZING performance of Life Is a Lemon!
I was born in 74 and my mother would take me and my older sister to my grans at weekends where my mums younger brother my lunatic Uncle Trev used to always have Bat out of hell blasting out full blast... i would have only been about four or five years old but i distinctly remember that album, and what an album it was.

That version of lawyers guns and money kicked ass.
I miss Meat he was a genuine man and funny. No one comes near him.
I watched his life story the other night he will be an icon in American history if someone says like a bat out of hell they will always think of meatloaf

Rip #MeatLoaf you are, have been and will be a wonderful human being... You leave an invaluable legacy in music... Now you sing in heaven with the angels
Rest In Peace Meat Loaf
You were a true legend
(1947-2022)
Greatest performer of all time. Rest in peace my friend.
Meat Loaf 🙏🏼♥️
Thank you Don, thank you Dave, thank you Meatloaf
what a performance from 24:24 onwards until the end of the song
how is this guy NOT in the rock and roll hall of fame?
That’s true !
Cant get enough of the meat lately. F...ing awesome. Every other artist.. catch up. His live energy is increadible.
The cover of Bat Out of Hell scared me as a little boy, but as a man his music moved me to rock n roll. He created the rock opera and Bat Out of Hell is the third best selling album of all time. And he didn't take Gary Busey's shit. A legend, a pioneer, an innovator. You will be missed by all.
Meat Loaf RIP (1947-2022)
Great singer actor entertainer RIP Sir Meat Loaf.
I love you Meat 💗💗💗
Patti is great singer, Meat pick the right person.
I can't say that I've followed his career or even an ardent fan....but a song like "I'll do anything for love...but I won't do that!"....cuts right into my bones. Kind of like Joe Cocker singing, "With a little help from my friends." The pull that songs like that have from a particular artist just endure as greatness.
Heaven must be rocking right now.
“Give me a hug”….that was Meatloaf.
Rock andRoll hall of Fame have been very quiet why Meatloaf was not put in Meatloaf is ROCK for heavens sake
Saw him live in 1996 with a high-school friend, great memories.
Hey man, celebrity palsy is funny
Love you Meat❤️ Rest in peace
Brilliant set of clips! 👍
Man, imagine if you could get a band t-shirt for 7.50$ nowadays
He was always genuine. He will always be loved and missed. His music and acting will be enjoyed forever.❤️🙏
Grew up with meet loaf going to miss him r i p
Posted in tribute to Jim. Who would've thought in a few months, we would lose Meat Loaf too. RIP to them both.
That shirt would be worth a bit of money now, in that condition.
Meat and Dave hit it off, you can just tell!!
rest in peace Meat! your song , two out of three ain't bad was my absolute fave
Rest in peace 🙏 😢😢😢
Never ever put an ad in the middle of a Meatloaf performance. Whats the matter with you?
I have utterly nothing to do with both the ads and their placement. Direct your anger at those responsible for both.
Always brought the passion 17:35 !
what an amazing human being
The world misses your presence
