    I mean, with songs like Bat Out of Hell and Heaven Can Wait, does he really want to RIP?

      Never a huge fan, but he had a heck of a voice.

      RIP regardless.

        I hope his view of paradise is better than just by the dashboard lights.

        RIP

          RIP.

          I was never a big fan, but a couple of girls I went out with in high school played that album constantly. Maybe they were trying to tell me something.

          I was only joking

            Best selling album of all time.

              My only connection is rocky horror.

              Hot patootie bless my soul. Really love that rock and roll.

                I actually enjoyed the 2 albums with Steinman. The two worked well together, and the hard driving piano rock basis for so many of the songs? Excellent.

                His backstory is quite amazing.

                  Interesting guy, if you've heard him interviewed. Tough childhood. Credits a lot of his success to lessons he learned playing football, namely, discipline and teamwork. Has had some health issues through the years and I suspect COVID was just a coup de grace.

                    • I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
                      That I would love you to the end of time
                      I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
                      So now I'm praying for the end of time*

                    Brilliant, made more so by the performance leading up to it and afterwards.

                        All that was Jim Steinman's genius, who was by far my favorite melodramatic operatic rock composer. I just learned he died last April.

                          No doubt, Meatloaf was horrible without Steinman but Steinman wasn’t as good without Meatloaf. The two made each other better.

                            I agree -- Steinman was a magnificent composer, but Meatloaf was a force of nature that brought Steinman's work to its glory. That said, Bonnie Tyler and Air Supply and a lot of others show that Steinman's music was a force of nature.

                              What I loved most was when Steinman would turn a clever phrase that bordered between cheesy and profound, then they would repeat it, and repeat it, until it turned cheesy.. Then they would repeat it some more until it became profoundly cheesy…
