I love that he said he finds the people who interview him just as interesting as they find him. What an amazing, down to earth guy. I guess heaven just couldn't wait anymore. RIP Meat Loaf.
I love that Meatloaf took this interview seriously. He could have phoned it in, but he took being interviewed by a teenage contest winner as seriously as a professional interview and turned it into a really lovely conversation. Sweet and sincere. Love it
Awwwwww James, this was just too adorable for words! Thank you for sharing! You were one lucky 15yr old and you certainly did take his advice to heart.
That’s an example of a celebrity who never believed in his own legend. Fact is, he was a fantastic artist, and gave James the best true advice he could. Probably one of the best video clips next to George Michael. Bravo James ..
That was a kick start to a budding career. Thanks for sharing this wonderful memory as a tribute to MEATLOAF. I know I'll enjoy his music for many years to come. RIP MEATLOAF
I love love love this!!!!! I was blessed to know Meat from waaaay back in 1976 and loved him and was able to talk with him many times over the years! He thanked me for being a fan by putting me in Paradise by the Dasboard Light for his Storytellers and pulled hubby i0 on stage to sing with him on NYE of the millennium. I started following him at the beginning and stayed for the end which has come far, far too soon! Meat and Jim Steinman will be writing gorgeous songs together again!!
Meat Loaf was so much larger than life. He never took himself too seriously, he was funny, and he could wrestle a car! (Anyone remember that movie? Americathon, I think?) And the music he left behind is some of the most expressive, sophisticated, subtle, and compelling rock music ever. And very loud. Usually. Some people made fun of the sweaty fat guy with long hair, but they couldn't deny his artistry. Celebrity deaths rarely affect me, but I'm real sad about losing him. Maybe it's because it really pissed off my dad in the 70s that I was such a fan. Meat Loaf was not what a rock star was supposed to look like, and in a way, that was the point. He defied the standards, carved out his own identity and forced people to deal with it because he was that damn good. And now we've seen another more personal side of him - a class act all the way. RIP Meat Loaf, and RIP Jim Steinman.
Very well said. You echoed my thoughts. I loved Two Out of Three Ain't Bad, and took in a number of midnight Rocky Horror showings, but when I saw him on MTV in 82, I was mesmerized. He left it all on stage. Jim Steinman was my favorite songwriter and no one delivered those songs with more heart, passion and emotion than Meat Loaf. We have lost a humble legend.
Well said, his passion very much made up for any shortcomings one may have perceived. And I remember watching Americathon several times on HBO. He was the best part of the movie, coming out as the Car Killer. I still remember him mouthing "oh sh!t" when that big scary car came for him. Weird movie at the time but some of it came true that we could had ever imagined, I mean really China having that much influence? That seemed like a joke that would never happen. The United Hebrab Republic though was the stretch we thought it would be.
People have said that when they worked with Meatloaf, they didn't know whether to be terrified or to cuddle him like a teddy bear. This interview show his very generous, very human side. I will miss knowing he is on a stage somewhere, every night, giving it his all. RIP Mr. Loaf.
This past Aug i had the most amazing privilege of meeting Meat Loaf, all i can say is what an amazing man he was. He spent time with each and everyone one of his fans. James, the man you interviewed was the exact same man i met. An extremely great memory we will both have. RIP Meat, you will live on in your music.
Meatloaf lived in my building in NYC. My roommate hung out with him a few times. I never got to meet him. He’s one of the few ppl I would truly enjoy meeting. He’s like a teddy bear, so huggable. That was such a fun interview James! Wow! 👍
RIP Meatloaf, I loved your Music, loved your long hair in a tail and when you cut the sides short, you were so Handsome, One Beautiful Man and Sweet to all people, my Son kinda got me in to your music and others, cause I never got to listen to a lot of music when I divorced at 28, we kinda grew up together and I loved the music, I was a late bloomer with all the music!! You will be missed for sure!
That was not a bat out of hell. That was a gentleman out of heaven. Well done, James and as well as you remember this episode in your life, we gain a new appreciation for the man who was generous with his time and who treated the person across from him with respect and kindness.
RIP Meatloaf. Truely an Icon. His music was legendary. Phenomenal artist with extraordinary talent. He will live in our hearts forever. I will do anything for love But, I won’t do that! ❤️🙏
I came within a hair of meeting Meat Loaf at Dublin's Point Theatre in 1995. Friend who worked on lighting/stage had it arranged. Something went wrong with the sound system temporarilly & we never got to go backstage. Still to this day, heartbroken...............
Even then, James was asking great questions and holding his own. He was so awkward but not intimidated-- and Meat Loaf was so respectful and sincere. How many artists on his level would ever care about who's interviewing him? Very little. This is a treasure and I'm so glad he shared it with us!

That's so awsome !!!! I saw you're interview last week , and was so touched I shared one FB !!!! I had no idea at the time it was you James !!!!!! ..... all I thought was you were some nice , smart, polite young man interviewing ML !!!!! Turns out its you !!!! You're Brilliant and I Luv U !!!!! Meatloaf was a Legend , and so are you !!!! Cheers !!!!
What an amazing story. Thanks so much for sharing this, James! Truly inspiring and reminded me of what a cool guy Meatloaf was. RIP Meatloaf! You'll always grace my annual Halloween viewing of Rocky Horror and I Will Do Anything For Love will always grace my lifelong favorites playlist.
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.
That was truly beautiful. Meat Loaf knew how important that interview was, to a 15 year old kid. (I'm sure he remembered what it would have meant to 15 year old Marvin. ❤) So he was present, and really talked to him, and didn't talk down to him. I love that!
man James was a BABY in that interview holy hell he was so young. That was amazing =) brought a tear to my eye .. I loved Meatloaf so so much. May he always walk in the light.
wOw! What an impact it must have had on you James. Imagine being able to sit dawn and talk to someone like Meat Loaf at age 15. BUT... IOMG look at that mans eyes... Talk about piercing blue eyes, he could see right throgh you😲
Absolutely. Next month it'll be ten years since I met Meat at an album signing. I was a gibbering wreck when those eyes met mine, and he reached across the table and took my hand in his. Held my gaze, too, not like he just glanced up to say "hi" and put his head straight back down.
@@ctuckwell6562 Thnx for sharing that story, must have been an ecxeptional experience and a memory for life. I'd assume you're extra sad for the passing of a legend
Poor kid when you asked him what keeps you going he replied YOU that's it with people like him there is not many left it's hard to answer that some people give some people take
Priceless james.....wow.....i actually think you did meat proud....well done mate.....i won't forget how going to see meatloaf in Manchester just after his heart attack give everything he had and singled one member of the crowed out for not singing and made him sing a line with him with a spotlight on them then give him a big sloppy kiss.....fantastic memories.....we miss him dearly.....god bless you meat 💔
Meatloafs music❤made growing up fun. I will never forget his music Rest in paradise (by the dashboard light) We love you Michael "Meatloaf" Aday.... Keep rockin in Rock and roll heaven... Say hi to my kids Daddy... 😍😍❤️
Beautiful.
I teared up when he told you, “What ever you do.. don’t ever give up!!!”
I cried the whole interview! What a great guy!
Meatloaf was a dumb dumb.
@@dp9200 That’s your opinion about him!
And “Don’t ever stop rocking”
I love that he said he finds the people who interview him just as interesting as they find him. What an amazing, down to earth guy. I guess heaven just couldn't wait anymore. RIP Meat Loaf.
I love that Meatloaf took this interview seriously. He could have phoned it in, but he took being interviewed by a teenage contest winner as seriously as a professional interview and turned it into a really lovely conversation. Sweet and sincere. Love it
A class act. One of a kind.
Define what a "phoned in" interview would have sounded like...
REAL as real can be thankyou Texas for a treasure fine man.
Awwwwww James, this was just too adorable for words! Thank you for sharing! You were one lucky 15yr old and you certainly did take his advice to heart.
It blows me away how professional James was as a 15 year old already. Love Meat Loaf. So sad over his passing.
Um really? Seemed pretty normal to me.
I'm amazed that a huge celebrity could be so gentle and truly inspiring
Unlike Cordem.
He looks so good there, what a sweet man he was. He really did give us such joy and fond memories.
That’s an example of a celebrity who never believed in his own legend. Fact is, he was a fantastic artist, and gave James the best true advice he could. Probably one of the best video clips next to George Michael. Bravo James ..

That's an excellent clip. ML was very kind and personable - no big "star" ego. RIP big guy - we'll miss you.
What a sweet memory and what a thrill that must have been! Thank you for sharing this💞
Aaaaaw James, such a sweetheart! I bet he could see in your eyes you were gonna be a big star like him!
I love love love this!!!!! I was blessed to know Meat from waaaay back in 1976 and loved him and was able to talk with him many times over the years!

Oh my Goodness! Look at James’s baby-face. He has not aged at all. He’s only just grown a few facial hair and looked so cute
you can tell James is a vessel opened ready and willing to learn and take to heart advice and inspiration- He's got a big heart
What an amazing memory to have from getting the chance to sit and chat to Meatloaf. Brilliant. We will all miss him.
That is an AMAZING interview by James wir Meatloaf!

I think so, Evan!

Yep but I think he did 1000s of those kind of interviews thi

Wow, that made my day! James Corden took his advice!
Wonderful! Lovely to see you so young and innocent at the very beginning of your career!

I love you Meat!
James is so cute as a kid as he is now! So adorable ❤
Actually talking to a young kid, not at him or down to him but to him.
How wonderful that he kept this.
The BBC Archive kept it which is why the BBC logo is on the top left of the screen. It wouldn't have been broadcast with that at the time.
I loved it. That was so nice. Such a nice clip ♥️
That was awesome you were connected way back then! Blessings
James you look so cute and adorable . Meatloaf rest in peace. 💐
i had this on vhs i use to tape everything meatloaf of tv .golden days

Wow, incredible.

Meat Loaf had such a sweet demeanor!!!
