reading what i can find in the news, the cause of death is not being released for now, it is not clear if it is actually covid. Sounds like it is, but he seemed to have other health problems too...

Does it really matter how he died? He was a great singer with several classic songs under his belt. BAT OUT OF HELL is an amazing , and highly original, album.
As Patron pointed out, he had an illustrious career and led a long life. Seniors tend to die, especially rock stars who generally aren't the best at leading healthy lifestyles.
Twitter has apparently lit up with Branch Covidians mocking his death and even saying he deserved it. Firstly, nothing has been conclusively proven...he may have died with Covid rather than because of it. This is often the case with seniors even though the media often distorts this.
Secondly, his body is barely cold and some are judging, condemning and laughing at him. Once again this shows how this pandemic has really brought out the ugliness in some folks. Mass indoctrination is a scary thing, but keep flying the Covid flag folks! Jim Jones would have been proud of you.
Anyway...
RIP Meat Loaf

I liked Patron's post because of his reference and that's my favorite Meatloaf song, but I agree with you. We don't yet know what his cause of death was. To mock him as an anti-vaxxer who died of COVID without any info is as reckless as every person that said it was the COVID vaccine that killed Betty White or Hank Aaron. Social media is doing this planet more harm than good.

He had a long life at 74, a spectacular music career than included the unforgettable baseball announcer portion about third base and stealing home, then unfortunately died of Covid.

Two out of three ain’t bad.

Could not have put it better myself.
2 out of 3 Ain't Bad is my favorite Meat song, so I appreciate the pun.

I can't recall anyone who burst on to the music scene in the 1970s with the fanfare of Meatloaf, other than Bruce Springsteen and Boston with their debut album. Meatloaf's songs would be an absolutely essential inclusion on any mixtape of the greatest songs from the 1970s. Unlike other rock stars there was an operatic quality to his music, which could not really be categorized as glam rock although he may have been influenced by Gary Glitter. Meatloaf was in a genre all by himself. And that kind of defines greatness.

He had a unique voice, a great voice. Didn`t care for his personality but I loved his artistry. Bat out of hell was one of the best selling albums of all time.
I saw him at a concert in Budapest Hungary some 25 years ago.

Cloudurf did he pack the house in Budapest? Just curious how an American rock star played with the crowd there.

It was an open air stadium seating about 8 to 10 thousand and it was sold out with mostly a male audience. Tickets were not cheap. The young guy sitting beside me owned an electronics import export company and was well on his way to becoming a millionaire.

As far as my favorite rock and R&B singers/voices, Meatloaf would make the short list with Elvis Presley, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Smokey Robinson, Jim Morrison (I think he was the first guy who made screams sound artistic), Roger Daltrey, Chuck Negron, Eric Burdon, and a few others.

Wildwood, N.J., 1983. I'm on a camping vacation with a good friend. We happen to see a poster promoting Meat Loaf appearing at a local bar, a venue of maybe 250 seats. Without question, the greatest concert I have ever seen. He poured his heart into every song, sweating up a storm. When he closed the show with his signature "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights" (with a fabulous female voacalist), the crowd lost it. One of those moments in entertainment that i will never forget. Thank you Meat Loaf. Rest in Peace.

He also had extensive acting credits. Two of his best were "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and "Fight Club".

From "Fight Club" - "His name is Robert Paulson."




He was a unique talent.

Funny that i rewatched FIght Club recently, after more than 20 years. I didn't realize Robert Paulson was Meat Loaf!

Out of curiosity, was it a bar called the Playpen ?
