    Meatloaf created what is called Rock Opera. The BAT OUT OF HELL ALBUM IS EPIC. TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD IS MY SONG. Many years ago a man dedicated TWO OUT OF THREE AIN'T BAD TO ME. He said he wanted me needed me but he'd never fall in love with me. I loved him so I never gave up, eventually he did fall in love with me and asked me to marry him. Sadly he died five days before our wedding from testicular cancer. That was 33yrs ago I MISS HIM EVERY DAY AND HE IS WAS AND WILL ALWAYS BE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE ❤❤❤❤❤. REST IN PEACE VICTOR AND REST IN PEACE MEATLOAF.

      Meat Loaf was also "only" the singer, the music was written bei Jim Steinman. Just listen to other songs from him without Meat Loaf, you still recognize the style.
      For example "Tonight is what it means to be young" (Holly Sherwood) or "Total Eclipse of the Heart" (Bonnie Tyler)

    Been a Meatloaf fan my whole life and I'm 56. Jim Stineman wrote most of the songs Meatloaf sang. They were an amazing team. This just happens to be one of my favorite songs of his and I believe the song and video he did after this song was I'd Lie for you ( and that's the truth) and it's like a part 2 to this song. RIP Meatloaf and Jim ❤

Even queued in the rain to get a signed CD of Bat 111 had to save up to buy the CD player to listen to it a few weeks later he was a singer, story teller, TV Actor, films too, Fight Club, Rocky Horror and others.. a perfectionist. Very intelligent, and so sensitive too. The last time I saw him on TV was just prior to his death on an episode of Ghost Hunters, he was brilliant at that too.. so sadly missed by us all. Just completely broke my heart when I heard of his passing.. Cried all the way through this video, but thank you Sebs I truly enjoyed it

    I loved Meatloaf in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
    I read an interview with him once...he was talking about volunteering at his kids' schools during their elementary and middle schools years, helping the teachers with staging, directing, costuming, etc. little performances as well as skits involving the kids. He loved it, just as he did participating in their other childhood activities. He sounded like he was a great dad, and I admire him for that.

      Jim Steinman was amazing too, he was part of the two artists who I remember hearing from a very early age one of course was meatloaf, and the other Bonnie Tyler, as in TOTAL ECLIPSE OF THE HEART, you can totally tell when listening to them that he was very involved with both artists and their music.

      Steinman--unmistakable songwriter. I found Meatloaf late--long after his heyday, and then went down a TH-cam hole finding his stuff. Later I'd be listening to other music I'd known and liked for years...and suddenly...wait...that's gotta be Steinman..really?
      Look it up...sure enough. But no one did his songs better than Meatloaf.

    This song was a huge hit back then. I think 20yrs between hits. But for some reason the mainstream didn't like him so they played this over and over and over to the point people got sick of it. That's how they killed his music. So in this song I think he took the opening lines and moved them to the end of the song. If you heard the last lines first you would understand what the song is about. However would it have been as intriguing? So by moving the opening to the end of the song it kept you wondering and engaged? What do ya'll think? I was in H.S. when this came out.

Meatloaf was also in a musical. He played Eddy in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and his song was called 'Sweet Patootie'. If you haven't checked out Rocky Horror you need to! It's a brilliant bit of pure madness that's huge fun as long as you don't take it too seriously.

      Agreed. Producers and Singers now cut every corner they can find.

SOME artists still do it right but not in Western Pop...

    The best way I can ever describe Meat Loaf is Rock Opera. He was one of the best. I loved seeing him play live. Truly one of the greats. As for what he won't do, listen to the first line in every chorus, for example, "I'll never forget the way you feel right now " in this case, that is what he won't do.

    The video was directed by Michael Bay, who directed the Transformer movies, among others. So you weren't too far off when you said that you were getting Terminator vibes at the beginning. The imagery is a cross between Bram Stoker's Dracula and Beauty and the Beast. He tells you what he won't do for love right before he tells you that he won't do that. "I'll never forget the way you feel right now.", I'll never lie to you, and that's a fact.", "I'll never do it better than i do it with you.", "I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life." etc. Brilliantly written song, and of course Meatloaf could belt it.

    I remember seeing Meatloaf in an interview shortly before he passed. He explained that, like any actor, he had a character for each song. During the course of a concert, he would have to change characters as many times as there were songs. When you see his videos and his live performances, you can totally see that.

You have to check out Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are (he won a Grammy), if you haven't already. Other songs I recommend, either for the channel or just for a listen are I'd Lie For You (And That's The Truth), Everything Louder than Everything Else, Life Is A Lemon And I Want My Money Back, Not A Dry Eye In The House, Couldn't Have Said It Better, Man of Steel (his daughter is on this one) and Testify.

    This was his biggest hit on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart (for all the hits he had, only this one made it to the top 10, as his next biggest charting single was 1978's "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad"), as it became his only #1 hit, spending 5 consecutive weeks at the top spot, from November 6th-December 4th, 1993. If you haven't heard "Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad" or "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" I highly recommend you listen it.
    Fun fact - if you want to hear a song that was originally written for Meatloaf to perform, but he passed on it, listen to Celine Dion's "It's All Coming Back To Me Now."

    To previous comment - Jim Steinman created and was the driving force behind Meatloaf delivered the songs as only Meatloaf and his backing could deliver. Jim Steinman was a genius song writer who past recently, even did an album that was for Meat Loaf when Meat had voice problems - an excellent album that might have be Bat Out Of Hell 2... ...worth finding and listening too.

      If you do it right (I didn't), you really can have a wasted youth AND a wise and productive old age. Somewhere in Rock and Roll Heaven, Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman are playing everything louder than everything else.

    The album “Bat Out of Hell” is written as an opera. Starting from the first song, it tells a story. Each song tells a part of the story. I’ve been a huge Meatloaf fan since about 1980. Listen to “For Crying Out Loud”. It’s my favorite.

    No, not weird to listen to music like this in the car. Just think how interesting road trips were! Our music kept us awake and singing and car dancing! The music of the 60's to early 80's has so much experimentation - the whole point was to stand out and be noticed (in a very good way of course). Musicians were exploring blues, rock, Southern rock and it was all so good. Honestly the repetitive nature is why I never gravitated to enjoying pop music. Stayed a rock and roller.

    If you like storytelling in music, there’s a band called Ludo who did an album called “Broken Bride”. It’s a 5 track, 30 minute rock opera about a man who loses the woman he loves and tries to travel through time to get her back. It’s freaking EPIC

    Meatloaf has a role in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, which is a cult classic and worth checking out. You’ve probably heard Time Warp and seeing the film puts it in to context.

    This is like a weird Beauty & the Beast story. LOL Meatloaf is also an actor & he loves theatrics & always took the opportunity to make cool videos. Yay us! And he says the 'that' is what he won't do... he won't stop dreaming about her, he won't stop loving her... nope, he won't do that.

    The 'that' is cheat then leave - he's telling her he'll never cheat or leave as is evidenced by the end of the song where she says 'after a while you'll forget everything' and 'sooner or later you'll be screwing around' and he said "no, I won't do that."

    I got my driver´s license in 1995 and this album (being released in 1993) was definitely a core part of my driving soundtrack. Also the up-tempo songs "Rock and Roll Dreams Come Through" and "Out of the Frying Pan (and Into the Fire)" have a great pace for driving and the ballad "Objects In The Rear View Mirror..." is also epic.

  • @pixie3760

    I saw Meatloaf live around 1985 or 86. He'd broken his leg the night before when he'd fallen off the stage. The night we went and saw him, he was still jumping around on stage, it probably helped that he didn't stop drinking all night...but it was one of the best live performances I've ever seen.

  • @robis40

  • @OriginalLictre
    @OriginalLictre 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    In every verse, the things that he WON'T do are stated directly, usually by saying something like "But I'll never lie to you, and that's a fact". Rather than the Phantom of the Opera, this is a love story for one or more vampires. At the end, when she's singing, a specific question she asks is if he'd hose her down with holy water if she got too hot. So far as I know of in folklore, the only monsters affected by holy water are vampires or demons.
    From what I've heard, the video was directed by Michael Bay, which would make it one of his best cinematic efforts.

  • @HollyB5484
    @HollyB5484 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    I ❤️ Meatloaf ever since my cousin gave me a cassette that she had copied from someone else's cassette of Bat Out of Hell when I was in high school in the 90's. I played that cassette so much I had every word, pause, musical interlude memorized. Songs like Heaven can Wait got me through some rough emotional times.
    I always thought "I won't do that" referred to him lying. He says at the beginning, "I'll never lie to you and that's a fact.". I could be wrong about my interpretation though.

  • @Caeleinn
    @Caeleinn 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    In an interview shortly before Meatloaf passed, he said the answers to what he wouldn't do are actually in the song. For example, when he says "I'll never forget the way you feel right now, oh no, no way, I would do anything for love, but I won't do that." Later on he says "But I'll never do it better than I do it with you" and again, "I'll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life". He would do anything for her love, but these are things he will never do. It's really a beautiful love song. If you want another song that is just really super deep and has a fantastic video, try Objects in the Rear-view Mirror (May Appear Close than they Are). The video will absolutely rip your heart out, show it to you, then stomp on it.

    Meatloaf's music was written by the late great Jim Stienman who's been called the Wagner of Rock because his style was so operatic. Jim and Meat were an on again off again partnership but never better than when they were together. Jim also wrote Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart", Air Supply's "Making Love out of Nothing at All" and co-wrote and produced Sister's of Mercy's "More".

    Loraine Crosby is awesome as a vocalist! Dana Patrick really nailed that lip-sync, she deserves props as an actress for that, rather than all the hate she got. It is not her fault that the industry does things like that. It has been done before (nothing new there at all) and has been done afterward. For instance, in the movie 'The Greatest Showman', the role of Jenny Lind was played by actress Rebecca Ferguson but the actual singing vocals used (especially in one very pivotal scene of the movie) belonged to Lauren Allred (who is really great). That sort of thing has been done to death. I don't understand why people get so mad about it if they LOVE the entire thing about 'Movie Magic' in the first place. If they wanted something actually factually real, they can go to concerts and never ever watch anything ever produced for the cinema ever again (including Music Videos of their very favorite artists; it's ALL for show)! That's 'unlikely' to happen, though, right? People just LOVE to bitch, whine, moan and complain about a system they are very much part of but SOMEHOW they are reluctant when it comes time for things to change...
