Lewis Luminos Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 He had an incredible operatic tenor voice, and suited perfectly the rock opera songs that Steinman wrote for him. RIP (Rock in Paradise), Meat. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirhc DeSantis Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Like a sinner before the gates of Heaven. Well Heaven you have Meat and Ronnie now (and far too many others). Thats got to be a hell of a Band. I have been floored by this. I do most online stuff in places that are more - well, politically raw and nasty. This has cut all across. And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlammedSam Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 My step-dad loved the "Bat out of hell" album, and played it constantly when I was a kid. Meat Loaf did some good music. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't a well man, hadn't been for a long time, whether he had the vaccine or not, he was unlikely to have been strong enough to fight covid. RIP big man.

Doris Johnsky Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Will you raise me up?Will you help me down?Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town?Will you make it all a little less cold? Will you hold me sacred?Will you hold me tight?Can you colorize my life I'm so sick of black and white?Can you make it all a little less old? Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?Can you give me something I can take home? Will you cater to every fantasy I got?Will you hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot! (HOT)?Will you take me places I've never known? After a while to forget everythingIt was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's flingAnd you'll see that its time to move on I know the territoryI've been aroundIt'll all turn to dustAnd we'll all fall downAnd sooner or later you'll be screwing around These lyrics were all sung by Lorraine Crosby After each of the 1st 4 verses, Meatloaf sings "I can do that" But the last 2 he reverts back to "I won't do that" In context of a love song, which this obviously is, he is saying he will never leave, or do anything to harm you. That how I interpret the lyrics. Oddly, Crosby got no credit for the song, because she had been brought as a "guide" singer for the recording session. She was later asked if they could use her voice on the official cut. Because she was considered a session singer, she was not given any royalties On the album she is listed as "Mrs. Loud" Bonnie Tyler later chastised Meat for treating Crosby that way. Dana Patrick lip-synced the in the video for the song. Meat promoted the song with Patti Russo. Such is the recording business. Here is Crosby as a solo singer. Apparently she did a lot of covers. Don't think this is one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cunomar Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I will never leave you "no i won't do that" . Something of a personal theme perhaps recalling Paradise by the dashboard light . "Will you love me forever! I couldn't take it any longerLord I was crazedAnd when the feeling came upon meLike a tidal waveI started swearing to my god and on my mother's graveThat I would love you to the end of timeI swore that I would love you to the end of time!So now I'm praying for the end of timeTo hurry up and arrive'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with youI don't think that I can really surviveI'll never break my promise or forget my vowBut God only knows what I can do right nowI'm praying for the end of timeIt's all that I can doPraying for the end of time,So I can end my time with you!" If i remember correctly, Meat died on stage some 25 years ago and was revived ? Wholly unfair that he will probably get the lifetime achievement award he has long deserved posthumously . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other day I saw someone saying that, about 10 years later, he decided to put that right. So something somewhere credits her with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is that had she gotten proper credit at that time, it is quite possible her career would/could have been far different. Instead there was the impression with the video and promotions that it was someone else. Getting a "Gee, I'm sorry. My bad" 29 years later is a bit late.
