RIP to a talented guy
“Paradise by the Dashboard Light” is my favorite rock song.
Rest in Peace.
We don’t know that he had CoupFlu.
That’s what we’re being told.
Interesting that the family is being so closed-mouthed about what killed him.
If it really was the coof, was he denied treatment until it was too late?
If it wasn’t the coof, was it a vaxx?
If he was planning on performing, I’ll bet he was vaxxed.
I was not a huge Meatloaf fan other than as Eddie but he was an integral part of the rock scene.
Every rocker of this era that goes takes part of me with it.
RIP, Meat.
A decent man a great performer, may he RIP.
“I don’t know if a 74 year old man with long time weight issues would be considered as “taken out early”.”
Well, I’ll give the Deep State and Democrats as much benefit of the doubt as they give our side. Far too many dying on our side and far too few to be dying on their side to make me think something has not been weaponized.
Condolences to family and friends. Did the Wuhan bat bite him?
“ I would do anything for love but I won’t do that.”
I had always wondered what was that one mysterious thing he would NOT do. I had to Google to find out.
Wasn’t that Ozzie?
RIP Meatloaf.
It was..and that was what he was referring to as I made the comment about Ozzie next in terms of Bat Out Of Hell death.
He seemed really broken up by Steinman’s death.
This guy had a voice like no other.
Keith Richards and Mick Jagger are still living...
About 5 or 6 years back I walk into my son’s bedroom. He was 17 or 18 at the time.
He is listening to Meatloaf Bat out Hell over his laptop/headphones. He said one of his buddies had turned him on to it.
He asked me if I had ever heard of him?
I replied, yes I bought it when it came out on 8 track.
He replied “whats an 8 track?”
Hah hah , I remember guys hooking up 8 track players in their cars and wiring big old speakers to sit in their back windows so they could play them extra loud.
Those were the kool guys.
Good old 8 tracks - those things could take a pounding.
Bat Outta Hell was a favorite not only because of Meat’s uniquely powerful voice, but the musicians on it were from band favorites of mine at the time.
It was in the song.
I had the same reaction
