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.
