It's sad that Gen Z doesn't know good music when it is presented to them. Meatloaf is pure talent. No auto-tune no pitch correction. Not a singer today could match Meatloaf.
You are looking at the future of civilization as we know it and the world… so sad and scary!
You must not know Ren yet
They didn’t mention his voice once!!!!!!
This is a musical genius & they saw Sherk, unbelievable.
Very sad.
This isn't a music video - this is Rock Opera which is both the video and the song which are composed and produced to go together. You can listen to the tune on the radio or streaming app, but you lose half of the production value. Rock Opera is a unique genre that combines writing, composition, and stage production and Meat Loaf is the man that brought it into the mainstream
You seem to have forgotten The Who Tommy and Pink Floyd The Wall.
geb z knows only people with green hair, piercings and face tattoos, gold chains and shity rap music mumbling, why you all suprised
Most of my favorite music to listen to was of the Rock Opera genre. Too much weird imagery in Tommy, but most of the others are at the top of my list. I just have to close my eyes and I can the videos play; a testament to the number of times I watched them.
@lynette. you are correct. Tommy actually is named "A Rock Opera".... I did overlook it!
Sad when young people cant tell that the 'effects' on Meatloaf's voice are his vocal chords. 🥺
It’s a rock opera..
the late meatloaf is an icon and needs to be respected for his talent!!
Fun facts:
He toured with the musical Hair.
He's in the cult classic movie The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Before he passed, he got to see his Bat Out Of Hell albums (there are 3), turned into a Broadway musical.
Legend.
I was going to mention rocky horror if no one else did
And the musical is the perfect tribute to his eternal music 👍
He also stared in movies & TV series.
And he witnessed JFK arriving at the hospital in Dallas (and had a secret service man commandeer his friends truck with them in it) 😂❤
I cannot fucking believe they are halfway through this video and they have ZERO CLUE it’s a take from Beauty and the Beast. Personally what’s so fucking hilarious about the video?
lmao its like asking crackhead whats so funny, they are gen z, their brains are fried with tik tok they are barely human
Don't always trust what wikipedia says. Watch "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992) produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola... Just one year before the music video.
Gen Z, entitled, conceited, pretentious, vacuous.
God save the future!
@@diakojim1977 yeah the scene where the "sisters" are messing around with her in the bed is like taken from the Coppola movie script. But it also has vibes from those tragic love stories like beauty and the beast or phantom of the opera taken into present times where the peasants with forks and torches are replaced with cops chasing the "dark creature" that does not ride a horse but a chopper. Gen Z that never have seen those movies, or only knowing the cute and funny version like "Shrek" or Disney adaptions will never get it.
@@Kamil0san Well spoken. I often wonder how many people of my age have seen or know about movies 40 years older than us. Like The Hunchback of Notre Dame from 1939...
Sad that gen Z has been listening to auto tune for so long, they don't know good music.
Unfortunately, it's those of us, who grew up listening to REAL musician's(Even those, all the way back to the early 1900's, including Patsy Cline, Judy Garland, Pat Boone, & so many other's), who didn't rely on auto-tune, and all that BS, that could sense the difference's between the REAL stuff, versus the synthesized crap...
These two are influencing the musical tastes of their generation? The world is in deep trouble.
Dude, there are no effects on Meats voice, he can sing, unlike the trash today who need autotune.
Tell him the truth
AMEN!
Truth! It's funny to see him try to figure out a real talent
The song opens with how he would go TO HELL AND BACK. That is why he looks like a demon/vampire, he literally went to hell to find his love. Anyway Meatloaf is a "Stage Performer" not a musician. A performer does not just play music, they put on a show so they are also like stage actors. His concerts had SETS with him changing outfits between songs. This song was called a "Rock Opera".
Meatloaf would have been a banger pro wrestler. It would have played to all his talents.
Read Dante. He chased Beatrice to Hell and back.
The young man need to expand his musical knowledge to compare Meat Loaf to Shrek (sp?).
He wasnt meaning musically.
@@kimgriffith1798 Maybe I miss understood him but to me, it seemed he kinda compared music back in the 80-90s as all funny and not very serious or not a piece of art. The stories can be important and many of the songs have a meaning to learn. I try to listen to music from all genres, and cultures, even contemporary music. That is what I meant by he needs to expand his musical knowledge with an open mind. Just my opinion. He is young & hopefully he will do them same as the Black Pegasus.
Youth is wasted on the youth.
Funny is a new way to view this song, i quess, Here I am older and get emotional, He just smiles at it.
This is based on Beauty and the Beast. So is Shrek. Chill dude 😎.
Yes Meatloaf was indeed a very very theatrical singer. He was also an actor.
His name is Robert Paulson....His name is Robert Paulson.
@@Besch42that isn’t what his football coach called him. Lol
Kids in the video age, 20 seconds in, "I don't understand the video." LOL
The Tik Tok generation
@@ASalvaro exactly. It's supposed to be about the music and all they can focus on is the visuals.
@@ASalvaro Exactly, if it's not explained to them at that moment, their goldfish attention spans wonder.
They don't let anything breathe, their reaction has to be instantaneous.
Aw, what a shame, it must have been a terrible assault to their senses. Real music not computer generated, real talent. It's a shame they will never experience the joy of pure talent.
I couldn't imagine being this emotionally stunted at their age.
Instead of letting this song/video wash over them like it did for millions of people, they just laugh and make faces and flippant comments.
Irritating as hell. They think (c)rap is music.
It is not a problem if they don't like it... it's a problem if they are mocking it. People come here to share something they love...
Mocking the video is OK for me. Most music videos are either boring or weird. This one is weird. I think the theatrical quality to Meatloaf's songs made the video director want to do a story.. but for me it's not a great fit to the song.
@@jonasfermefors Its one thing what you as an individual think (I was never big fan of Loaf), and another if you create platform for people to enjoy different types of videos and songs with different fans & aesthetics. I guarantee you that if he was acting like you are, he wouldn't pass ten videos before removing his channel...
@@-MaxXxuS- There are lots of very popular channels devoted to being excessively critical, so I don't think that is true. Gushing praise if it isn't what you feel will fall flat before too long. If normal people can't take some criticisms about things they enjoy then we have a big problem and surely part of the enjoyment in seeing other generations react has to be that they don't always like everything they see or hear.
@@jonasfermefors 1. This channel is not one of those channels 2. Nobody said they should gush praise if they don't like it, but mocking it is a different thing 3. There is hardly anybody watching this channel who is a generation of 90% artist that are represented here. That doesn't mean that we are better or smarter from them, and acting like a buffoon doesn't represent your generation (every generation has a careless buffoon) but only reflect your own lack of measure.
@@-MaxXxuS-
1. Agreed - it's not one of those channels.
2. You felt it was mocking.. I didn't. Experiences are subjective. The only thing they had a hard time getting to grips with was the video, so they certainly didn't mock the music.
3. I just don't see any buffoonery. I only see someone with thin skin getting offended. I don't see what that has to do with different generations. I'm a decade older than the host and have a very different taste in music but I still enjoy a lot of his content.
for a generation that doesn't know real music, it's about what I'd expect.
nah man, I have seen many Gen Z people that flip over Meatloaf and other bands of the time, It just comes down to you cannot help Ignorant
@@Gantzz321 Ya, you may be right.
💯 No lies detected!
Hot take, modern music is just as real as older music. You can't discredit entire generations of music just because YOU don't like it. Listen to what you like and stop discrediting others and what they enjoy, it's bad energy.
@@WXRST99 How can "energy" be "bad" when "energy" is amoral?
I was amazed that the young people missed the brilliance of this stunning song and performance. They compared it to animated characters? OMG.
Well it is supposed to reflect the story of Beauty and the Beast!😊😊
@@sherribrock2726 Don't always trust what wikipedia says. Watch "Bram Stoker's Dracula" (1992) produced and directed by Francis Ford Coppola... Just one year before the music video.
Maybe should have told them from the start that it was number one in 28 countries including the US and the UK where it was also the best-selling single of the year while he also won a Grammy for it.
They probably don’t know WTF a Grammy is! Probably think it’s there grandma!
@@LesSmith45 🤣🤣🤣
Why bother, it's Gen Z, they already know everything and everything they know is better than anything that went before..
My man meatloaf could sing for days !! incredible voice, such an underrated performer
Young Boy there just Insulting the whole video?! No Respect!
He clearly thought his snarkyness was something witty and clever.
I’m so confused how Andy knows so much about about music theory yet hasn’t heard of some of the biggest artists of all time, it like his music knowledge only goes back to nickelback
Amen!!!! This guys on some ego trip!! I've been watching since he came on sm. He doesn't impress me except with his arrogance!!
None of these 3 punks knows ANYTHING about music, and certainly even LESS about GREAT music. This is what happens when teenagers get access to the computer with no parental supervision.
It's like knowing E=mc^2 but not knowing who Einstein was, or F=MA but never having heard of Newton.
Sad as fooooooooooook I'm 37 😅 this man is a legend and the video is epic 😎
The video is based on Beauty and the Beast and Phantom of the Opera.
And the scene with her on the bed with the other women is straight out of the Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) movie.
@@cassianfalkener3706 All the video is based on that movie... I don't know why Wikipedia says otherwise. Maybe because they "blend" a little bit the story? And just like you said there are even straight out scenes from the movie.. 🤨
@@diakojim1977So they just took the aesthetic of that movie and applied it to "Beauty and the Beast".
Meat Loaf is the singer, his band is The Neverland Express, Some of his songs were written by Jim Steinman and were played on MTV, BBC Top of the Pops and National/Local Radio (in the UK not sure about other country's). His songs were all inspired by Jim's and his own experiences growing up and some of the Music Video's were quite Fantacy and Motorbike related in nature
By the time of this song's release, MTV had largely shifted to genres like rap and grunge. This sound got much more airplay on VH1, where MTV's original core audience had mostly shifted, at least in the U.S.
@@michaelsoper3610 Ok I could be Wrong there I am sure I saw the Vid on MTV at one point in the 90s, I mostly saw it on Top of the Pops as it was the Longest song at NO 1 at that point
@@glenmartin7978 Oh, I'm certain it did run on MTV, but that was no longer the primary channel for this type of video. I used to help with sound for some cover bands during the late 80s, into the early 90s, and you rarely even saw MTV in bars during that period as everyone over 25 was shifting to VH1. This was the period that killed MTV as a driver in the music industry and forced the change to reality programming.
Well wasn't he on a motorcycle in his scene in the "THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW" ?
I'm guessing there won't be many more rock operas in theatres if this is the reception they would get from the new generations.
The Bat out of Hell Musical was actually well received by people who are under the age of 30 which surprised me a lot
I don't disagree with that@@glenmartin7978 the ones who DO go will and are interested in rock operas will obviously like it. What I was speculating about here was how many who would be interested. I saw both an early and a late show (in London), from what I recall there were not many people under 30 there. Mostly age 40-60 I would say.
Ugh young people. Beauty and the beast. Open your minds
These young ones are so used to listening to shit music they can’t comprehend this kind of legendary music.
I was born in 2001 and I’m surprised they haven’t heard of meat loaf
To be fair, Meatloaf kinda fell out of popularity fairly quickly. I probably only know who Meatloaf is because my Step-Dad is a huge fan.
Absolutely! In any field of a career to really excel in it is to know the pioneers and past legends. He probably never heard of Stevie Ray Vaughn either. Meat Loaf was/is a GIANT in music industry, not a one hit wonder.
Meatloaf was just him. He was an amazingly underrated artist because for his time he was not visually appealing, however his music is and was legendary. It's funny that the younger have any clue who Meatloaf was. He could sing Rock Balads and Rock Opera like non other. Meatloaf was one of a kind and truly great. May he RIP
That's not technically wrong, but it is wrong. Meatloaf is the singer and phenomenal in his own right. But as an artist, He owes his biggest hits to Jim Steinman's writing. Neither one could have been as big as they were, without the other.
Yea, this was what I expected. These young people have no clue what real music or real talent is.
The really tragic thing is not even knowing who Meat Loaf is. He was in so much. I think he was in the 70's musical "Hair" on stage and both the stage musical and the film of The Rocky Horror Picture show. His Bat Out of Hell album is one of the biggest selling albums of all time, he was in a bunch of films including playing Bob in Fight Club and child Jack Black's angry father in Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny. He was a legendary rocker, and now nothing. Sad how quickly the past is forgotten these days.
Nah, didn't enjoy this one guys. These little kids acting like experts, which obviously they're not. I feel insulted for Meat Loaf, who was probably more talented than both these brats put together. If you ask them on again for their 'opinions', I won't be watching that one. Total turn-off.
Same 🤦♀
Yeah they had that to cool for school hipster vibe, that is so off putting Like everything old is lame or a joke. They also seem uncultured.
Agreed meatloaf had an amazing voice. They wouldn't know great classics like this and so many others from great artists. These kids are just clueless.
You, Karen are brilliant. These punks are totally clueless...............how can you not see how the music relates to the video. It is a Rock Opera.....matches perfectly. Go Back to playing idiotic video games............punks.
They sitting there laughing at this and look at their generation. Our era was so much better because better musicians. Do his tune Paradise by the Dash board lights
Exactly.. this video a meme?really.. so sad they dont understand real art
This is a million times better than most of the rubbish that is put out these days. They’re really not grasping the incredible musical talent of Meat Loaf or the song writing of Jim Steinman. I feel sad for them!
Huge fan of Meat and Jim Steinman, but you have to admit there are some bizarre aspects to this video. Following him to the house is odd enough, but taking a bath after bathing in the lake, and then this orgy? Odd aspects were added here, and I agree they don't do the song justice.
@@MarkRaphaelsonWell......some of use love the "bizarre".
Poor kids. They are unable to absorb to pure beauty of this song. They deserve to get this song as an earworm until they appreciate it, lol. I hope the god of sex, drums and rock and roll can help them find their way.
My Nieces and Nephews are all late Teens and Early 20s and they have all heard of Meat Loaf, he was and still is a Legend I saw him at least five times in Concert before he passed away
Meat played Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show…hence his theatrical presentations. He was a legit Broadway actor. There is a whole Beauty and the Beast story going on here.
Also. This is bob, bob has bitch tits.
These two need to go back to Tick Tock. ….
Shrek? Wow, Meatloaf is not a Disney trope. Maybe Shrek was patterned after Meatloaf.
Bring them back and show them Paradise By The Dashboard Light❕❗ Heck show them all Meatloaf songs❕❗
Definitely should have show. Them that song first.
The live version is the best
No, don’t bring them back 😂😂
@PurpleCinnamon-Land-Of-Misfit NO, DON'T bring them back
@@nolanannie13 Why❔❓
The superficial reaction by the Gen Zers saddens me. They did not stop to consider and appreciate the talent and effort of Meatloaf. Makes me question whether they have any musical education at all. Do better, kids.
The guy can't pick out Beauty and the Beast, can't pick out undying loyalty to a loved one. He needs culture.
Meatloaf is the man, not a band. He’s very dramatic. He was in Rocky Horror. Bat Out of Hell is an epic album. Song “Paradise by the Dashboard Lights” is a total experience. All of us Gen X’ers consider it an anthem. His name was Robert Paulson!
I saw Meat Loaf play in a bar in Buffalo, NY, in the late '80s. They were playing on an outdoor stage in a courtyard behind the bar. It was standing only, on a sandy volleyball court. Best concert ever! The sound of his voice live was incredible. My best friend still has the guitar pick they threw from the stage and got caught in her hair. We had a lot of hair in the '80s. 😆
the Gen Z's probably also don't know that his name is Robert Paulson, and that he gave his life for project mayhem.
His name is Robert Paulson.
His name is Robert Paulson.
His name is Robert Paulson.
Fun fact that is relevant right now. There was a Fallout spinoff action RPG named Brotherhood of Steel that is sort of the dirty little secret of Fallout games. In one level you can find a bunch of enemies standing around a table with a corpse on it chanting, “His name is Robert Paulson.”
I have no doubt that this young man is accomplished within his own right, but it will take quite a few more years before he will understand the totality and impact "classic rock", theatrics included, has had on all modern music. Depth, is what comes in time.
This song was a couple decades before 'Bat Out of Hell'. PLEASE!!!! Show these youngsters some original Meat Loaf.
BTW - Meat Loaf is an actor, is several movies, and fought for everything he received.
EDIT: Shrek? WTF?
We need to be nice to them - they will be picking out our nursing homes - otherwise no use for them.
Quick correction. This song came out 16 years AFTER Bat Out of Hell. Bat Out of Hell dropped in '77 and Bat Out of Hell II, which this song was on, dropped in '93. Both outstanding albums.
I'm a fan, a subscriber but Gen Z was so focused on the video that they missed great vocals, great harmony's, great singing. I think you missed an opportunity to teach.
I feel sorry for our musical future, but I have for a couple of decades now.....
They also appear to have never heard The Boys Are Back in Town.
Meatloaf is the singer, but he's also theatrical rocker This video is his interpretation of beauty and the beast
This was Meatloaf's only number 1 hit. It stayed at #1 for five weeks consecutively.
The video for I Would do Anything for Love was directed by Michael Bay of Transformers' fame in 1993.
they had other no 1 hits, but outside of the US...
As per youngsters are apt to do, they think they know everything. Can't they just enjoy the experience for what it is? Take a step outside your frame of reference for once...you may enjoy it if you let yourself! Also, why does the video have to make sense? Very little does anymore. Work with us here, people!
Remember there's a sequel to this video called I'd Die for You (And That's the Truth). The songs written by Diane Warren, not Jim Steinman but it's still just as epic.
Meatloaf began on Broadway, did a couple of albums before releasing his debut album Bat Out of Hell where he began a long relationship with Jim Steinman where most of his best songs come from.
This video played on rotation for MTV and VH1 when they actually played videos and unlike many videos in the 2000's told stories usually based on the song (no song about having no money while a girl twerks for no reason).
Meatloaf was very theatrical and along with Jim many songs were about love, heartbreak, depression and reflection/regrets.
Objects in the Rearview Mirror is another great song about reflection of the past, the affect life gives you and your memories
yep, video creativity and story was as important as the creativity of the song and music. I miss the 80's and 90's...
@@bonnielee78 and that was started by artists like Michael Jackson and Madonna who felt that their songs on a music channel should tell short stories. Before then music videos were basically bad effect videos or live performances with the studio recording played over it.
Everything back then was real not fake like now
That’s their problem with the video. They’re so used to all the auto tune crap they’re fed today and all the tik tok videos they cant appreciate real music. Not sure how I feel about BP’s reaction with them. I would’ve been pushing them to be more open minded cause from the start the young boy thought it was a joke and never allowed it to be anything other than a joke.
The women who look like they could be starting an orgy are actually a scene from a movie called Bram Stoker's Dracula. As a result, I always thought he was saying he wouldn't turn her into a vampire when watching the video. The song itself has always inspired debate over what exactly he wouldn't do...but if you pay attention you'll figure it out. Musical tastes can certainly change as a person matures. I didn't think they were ready for the video & it distracted them from the song to some extent. Try some Bob Seger on them. If the young man is a musician he should not miss out on that rabbit hole! RIP Meatloaf! ❤ You are missed!!!
They were playing it on MTV. Very much.
He’s a vampire and he is a stage performer and actor
based on
Beauty and The Beast...which was a popular TV show at the time.
Many describe his music as “operatic"
It hit #1 in over 20 countries
This version is the "radio edit", a cut down from the original album length song that is around 12 minutes or so long, there is a verse and a half, maybe two, not used in the video. The main girl in the video is model Dana Patrick, lip-sincing over the vocals of Lorraine Grosby, listed as "Mrs Loud" on the album credits. As others have said, this is another collaboration with the brilliant Jim Steinmann, with whom Meatloaf had a long and fruitful association. This is one of those songs that you really need to hear the entire album of,,, actually all 3 "Bat Out Of Hell" albums, undisturbed, through good quality personal listening equipment, in a quiet corner, with your favourite beverage... There is a story connection that runs through each of the albums, and it becomes a little clearer when you hear them in their entirety. Well worth the time to also go through Meatloaf's complete discography, there are some absolute bangers within...😁
🙃🐨🇦🇺
Hey guys, I’m an old 80’s rock dude. I always saw this video of his song as a dark fantasy version of Beauty & the Beast. He’s the ugly dude and she’s the beautiful girl he knows he can’t get. As the video goes on you see Meatloaf in places like in the mirror with his own face, then they go back to the monster as him in makeup and costume who knows he can’t be with her…
I don't know that I've ever seen anyone laugh at this video. That's certainly a first.
And disrespectful
@@johnk275 who cares if they laughed.
@@Bethany0420I do, it’s disrespectful and Meatloaf doesn’t deserve being treated like that. If you don’t care about how someone is treated, maybe you’ve got a little problem. I’ll say a prayer for you… have a nice day!
@@johnk275 get over yourself. You're being offended over something so tiny. Meatloaf isn't offended over young people laughing. He's not even on this earth anymore. You can keep your righteous prayers to your man made God, I don't need it.
@SenorMojoLXIV facts 💯
It was #1 in MANY MANY COUNTRIES!
Oh Gen Z, not used to hearing people actually singing, they can have T. Swift.
Lol
And (c)rap.
These Zers are pathetic 😂😂😂😂😂
Muppets? Fever dream? Doesn't he know beauty and the beast? Tortured hero.. Beauty that saves him. Sexual fantasies by both..
Meat Loaf was his stage name.. He was Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show, both the original London musical and the movie .. Everything he did was theatrical and dramatic, including his live performances. This song was number 1 for many weeks.. It is on the album Bat out Of Hell II.. The Original album was top ten for more than 6 years. The 3 Bat out of Hell albums sold over 100 Million copies..
The video is a modern re-imagining of Dracula, the novel by Bram Stoker. The twist at the end is how Dracula gets a Beauty and the Beast ending, driving into the sunset with Mina. In the original novel, Dracula attempts to turn Mina into a vampire by drinking her blood and having her drink his blood, but Mina uses her psychic connection to Dracula to help vampire hunter, Van Helsing, hunt down and kill Dracula. The guy chasing them into the castle with the police would have been Van Helsing. And the three women in the bed were the women from Dracula's castle that attempted to seduce Jonathan Harker in the original book (and, yes, movie).
There are several classic rock songs from the 60s through the 90s that pull from classic literature.
I blame their parents for not listening to music around the house. They should of grew up listening this.
Since it keeps coming up - "Meat Loaf" was a guy, born Marvin Lee Aday. That's him in the video. Let the Gen Zers see "Paradise By The Dasboard Lights".
Most people don't get this song on first listen. The video distracts even more from the lyrics. Hint: "What" won't he do?
Boomers grew up listening to music alone. I was grown and married before MTV came along. We don't automatically think of videos when we hear or discuss music. I remember Martha being one of the first veejays. Showing my age...
I love the kid's faces, They have no clue what the f*ck is going on.
I was going to knock Mr. Gen Z's repeated claim that the video is "hilarious," but I see that many people have beaten me to it. I think I'll skip the second half of the video.
Objects in the rear view mirror was written for Meat Loaf by the same person that wrote Total Eclipse of my Heart for Bonnie Tylor and both songs (music not lyrics) where featured in the musical Dance of the Vampires (original Tanz der Vampire) based on the movie with and done by Roman Polanski who also did the musical which premiered in Austria (in German) in 1992 ❤
Jim Steinman is the composers name bzw. 😊
@@a.s.4720 And he's the piano player for these Bat Out Of Hell videos, and the narrator on the Hot Summer Night intro
Meatloaf played Robert Paulson in the movie Fight Club. If you remember that Brad Pitt and Edward Norton movie.
He also played Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Don't forget Black Dog with Patrick Swayze and Randy Travis
Sadly I noticed a few complaints in chat (at work so I couldn't reply that fast) about you re-showing different reactions to songs. Just here to support ALL your content. As always the haters gonna simply show their level of intellect. I enjoy watching reactions and I find it that you're simply engaging others in your travel down the path less traveled. Keep it up man!
True, I understand...but these two are beyond pathetic!
Michael Bay directed this video. Check out Dead Ringer for Love. The duet partner in this will blow your mind
They might not even know who she is!
He was great in concert. I saw him in Atlantic City a few years ago. R.I.P. Meat.
I saw him1993, he wasn't even the headliner, but his performance blew everyone else out of the water.
I will be 70 on Tues. my NHL hockey husband would listen to this 50 years ago before he’d leave to go to the rink before a hockey game. It was played all the way up to 10 on the biggest speakers that shook our beach house. I loved it too. So great to see it thru a 20 year olds eyes for the first time. IT SAYS ALL INE NEEDS TO KNOW A OUT “THAT” Time.
One of the greatest videos and greatest singers.
Honestly I know these kids are young but it's a bit annoying listening to their dribble. Music has been dead for a while so they can do nothing but laugh because that's usually what you do when you're ignorant to things
Meatloaf is timeless and an incredible talent, compared to the crap their generation generates they have a lot of gall to laugh and utter inane comments on a classic video.
Meat Loaf considered himself an actor who could sing, so ALL his music videos, even the sound stage ones, were hugely cinematic
And yes, in the 80s and 90s, the M in MTV stood for Music and they played almost exclusively music videos.
Maetloaf.......Bat Out Of Hell is also a must.
Agree! In fact, I think it might have been better for their first experience.
In Australia, this song was on all of the commercial mainstream radio stations. As well as several other of his songs.
It's a shame TH-cam doesn't show ratios anymore because I'd love to see this one's...
One of my favorite songs and videos of all time. I was 17 and with my first love.
The name of the band that toured with him was The Wonderland Express. Saw him in STL. There is no auto tune involved. This man put so much energy into his performances. Those kids need to go more into Meatloaf than just one song.
I made a mistake. It was the Neverland Express. My bad
RIP. SAD he’s gone . Rock opera at its best. Meatloaf is his name. ❤
A true friend, introducing them to Meatloaf. Very nice!
You gotta do “For Crying Out Loud,” and “You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth.” The video played on VH-1.
Meatloaf was in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show,” and a goofy 80’s movie called “Americathon,” where he kills a Camaro like a bullfight. He’s been in other movies as well.
We were so happy in the 80’s!
Mtv was playing this track like every single day. It was fire in the early 90s :)
This was a song from 'Bat out of Hell II', as a conclusion of the 'Bat out of Hell' album which was released in 1977. Back in the day when you used to listen to whole albums it needed to be heard in the whole as its like a rock opera. If you listened to the first and then the 2nd album it would all make sense.
Also, the "Piano Man" piano was played by Jim Steinman, a famous songwriter and producer. He not only wrote this song, but most of Meat Loaf's greatest and most memorable ones, including all of the songs from "Bat Out of Hell" Additionally he wrote songs that were hits for a number of other people including Barbara Streisand, the band Air Supply and Bonnie Tyler for whom he wrote "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
Meatloaf was the master of rock opera. Super talented and had such an amazing voice. No auto tune or effects needed. Check out Bat Out Of Hell 💜💜
In Australia Meatloaf's original 'Bat Out Of Hell' is the number one biggest selling album of all time.
So you better believe that 'Bat Out Of Hell II' was a massive hit as well.
This is the greatest song of all time and the video rocks!! Love meatloaf!!
