d0ublestr0ker0ll Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Man, they're dropping like flies. All the people I grew up admiring in our culture. Knew it was coming. It only gets worse from here I guess. RIP. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmarydu Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 "Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife" is one of my favorite lyrical lines ever, and I'm that odd person who has an obsession with "Fight Club". RIP. 😥 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Did anyone ever figure out the one thing he wasn't going to do for love? I remember being, like, 8 and seeing the Bat Out of Hell cd in my parents collection and thinking the cover was awesome. And then being upset that it wasn't heavy metal. RIP to Robert Paulson. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goskins10 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Truly one of the greatest performers. The entire Bat Out Of Hell album was set up a a rock opera. Great voice, commanding presence. Loved him in Rocky Horror Picture Show too. He was one of the original cast members from the Original Roxy Cast in Los Angeles when the play moved from London to the US. I think he was the only LA Only cast member (Tim Curry also played his role in London.) to make the movie. He was bigger than life in so many ways. Had his struggles with drugs and alcohol but got it back together. Everything I read abotu him he was one of the most generous actor/musicians there was. He helped a lot of others get going. A truly nice guy. RIP Marvin Lee Aday (birth name) - Michael Lee Aday - Meat Loaf. You will be sorely missed! Thanks for the memories!

The Evil Genius Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) Heard on the radio that he had canceled stuff this week due to covid symptoms.

Yeah, not sure if he was vaccinated or not, but he disregarded COVID precautions. ”I hug people in the middle of COVID. I understand stopping life for a little while, but they cannot continue to stop life because of politics. And right now they’re stopping because of politics. We had to go on the airplane with the paper masks and then on the way back, we got a Nazi: ‘Get your mask on now!’ They’re power mad now. Oh, God.

Have no idea if he was vaxxed or careful or whatever, doesn't seem to be the day to nitpick on the guy tho.

Jumbo Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 dude burned like a nova at his peak and though like many others i dropped off after his big hit albums he kept a solid career going...listening to npr this a.m. and they had an old audio clip of him in an interview saying how he studied acting and considered himself an actor who was acting like someone who could sing and would do all his preparing for musical performances and recordings with that mindset, saying he was always working on the creating and fleshing out of a 'character' that he would play in the music...really one of the more unique pop performers of our lifetime and did leave quite a large imprint for what many at the time considered just a fun, transitory, two/three-hits, pop star...rip marvin lee aday 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) TMZ said it was Covid and it was quick. Rip Meatloaf. Sadly, this will be the norm. If your a Gen Xer, younger boomer or even older millennial; the people you grew up listening to or watching will die off.

OMacAttack Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 The first concert I ever went to with my mother was Meatloaf (he was her favorite musician) I was young probably around 8 or so. I remember the show he put on was awesome, a dude parachuted down near the stage his daughter was with him and they were quite theatrical on stage throwing plates and putting on a great show it was a really awesome time. RIP Meatloaf your songs will live on forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never heard anything about his views...the way I like my entertainers. Plenty of non asshole people die of covid, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt, in lieu of evidence to the contrary, on the day he died.

"But I won't get vaxxed? In all seriousness, love some of his music. I can appreciate someone's music and ignore the personal side of things. Ted Nugent is a good example. He's got some great music and many not so great ideas. It seems Meatloaf suffered the ultimate irony. Hopefully him and his family will do OK without him around. By most if not all accounts, he was a nice guy. Edited January 21, 2022 by Busch1724 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
