Saw him in concert on a stacked card (George Thorogood, Lee Aaron, Ugly Kid Joe, April Wine, Def Leppard..). He was my favorite of the day. He slayed it. Btw.. dude was in the musical Hair way back when. He is legit talented.
@@AndieO I would’ve killed to have been there!!! Wow! What year was that?? I’m starting to feel really old when these new kids are discovering the classics!
Absolutely. What would Bat Out of Hell been without Todd producing or his incredible guitar skills? Seems I remember reading he laid that motorcycle riff down in about 15 minutes and in only 1 take. (Could be wrong)
The piano player he sits next to is the one and only Jim Steinman, who wrote everything you know by Meat Loaf, Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler, It's All Coming Back to Me Now by Celene Dion, and many others. A true genius.
It's All Coming Back to Me Now was originally recorded by Pandora's Box and then by Celine Dion. Meat Loaf wanted to do it for ages, but Steinman apparently insisted for quite a while that it was a woman's song. Meat Loaf eventually did a duet version with Marion Raven.
@@ohauss I'd Do Anything for Love always seemed like the sister piece to It's All Coming Back to Me Now. Between the length of the songs, the scale of the music videos and being about similar topics. Meat Loaf should've been the one on the bike in It's All Coming Back to Me Now.
I can understand that. I remember the first time I heard this song, I got this over emotional feeling that I could never identify but that's what it was I was missing someone I don't even know. Meatloaf could really deliver a song and he did here. He could make you feel the emotion in his songs.
You are absolutely right! You KNOW a song/singer is good when listening to them transports you INTO the song they are singing! Meatloaf does that! Great reaction!
My whole childhood was my parents listening to Meatloaf everyday. Haven't heard any in years, it was some how like a warm hug hearing this again. Thanks Billy!
Those lyrics..'you'll never drill for oil on a city street, lookin for a ruby on a mountain of rocks but there ain't no coupe de ville hidin at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box"are so impeccable some of the greatest of the time
I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.
Sheesh the memories - play, rewind, play, rewind, while driving in a 12 year old Ford Pinto. No video, just his voice. Meatloaf, dark highway, you know - all the feeling. I want you, I need you, but there ain't no way I'm ever going to love you.
Just came across your channel and subscribed. Meat Loaf considers himself an actor first. Everyone of the songs he's sung is another character for him. I saw Meatloaf in the musical, HAIR, too many years ago. Sadly Jim Steinmann passed away this year. A brilliant composer. He was playing the piano in this video. R.I.P. Jim. Your music will live on forever.
If you like Meat Loaf, you should try “I’d do anything for love” and “Life is a Lemon”. Both of these are from later albums, but are just as good as his ‘70s stuff.
Where’s the love for the Dead Ringer album, Read em and Weep, I’m gonna Love Her For Both Of Us, I’ll Kill You If You Don’t Come Back, More than You Deserve and Dead Ringer For Love. Criminally underrated album
You should listen to other songs of his, such as “Paradise By The Dashboard Light”, “Bat Out Of Hell”, “Dead Ringer” with Cher, and his big comeback “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That”.
Billy..you so crazy ..lol. Loved your review of the legend named Meatloaf. I saw him in concert, and it was the best time I have ever had. Not only was he a great singer, but he was SO dramatic and gave his audience a show to remember for a lifetime. My son used to call him "Uncle Meatloaf" when he was little. He is 50 now and STILL calls him that. Rest in peace, Meatloaf..you will always be remembered.
I was way too young to know how deep this song really was. He only loved one woman, and couldn't love another... and now for that reason, he's saying the SAME thing to a woman that his "one true love" said to him many years earlier. 😥
My Absolute favorite songs of all time.. I saw him in concert in San Diego when I was like 18... he would sing this song till he was hoarse. Just amazing ... Thank you again Billy Boi....🍀💚🍀💚
Meat's got an amazing voice. To hear how awesome it is listen to bat out of hell he really lets it rip! If you really want your heart pulled out listen to objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are I can never not cry when I watch that video.
What you are experiencing is genuine talent, a true artist can take you to a place inside yourself that you didn't even know existed. Meatloaf is one of the masters.
Meat loaf is such a great and underrated artist! Another great and I think underrated artist you might like is Eddie Money, my favorites by him are "Shakin" and "Take me home tonight"
Billy...I love how ur talking about the emotions caused by this song. I have found music to be the ultimate nostalgia medium. Music will take you the farthest, the fastest of all the media's. One song, in its first seconds can take you immediately back in time to a point where that song was part of your life somehow. I've found no other media to do that as efficiently as music. Song comes on the radio from your teen years and you mind is immediately back with your high school boo or buddies. It's surreal.
My mum was a huge meatloaf fan when I was growing up, so his songs were always playing while she did the housework. There's a song of his called 'Heaven can wait' - that she wants played at her funeral - I can't listen to it without sobbing as I know at some point I will be listening to it then.
I wore this album out about five times over the years seriously I have owned at least five copies of this album tape CD it's incredible incredible album
Love this song! When it came out I was too young to fully know & feel the lyrics & how powerful they are. Though I did like the song. Well now I know & that makes it even more beautiful to me. I can relate.
No one can ever put down the songs of the 60,s and early 70,s .disco sucks, my kids grew up on the 60,s and know them all, my little hippie kids, u dont hear music like this anymore, angel hugs to you for playing this, listen to all his songs 💜💜💜 peace to everyone
Thank you for listening to us Meat lovers doing a live version or in this case the official music video. The man playing the piano is Jim Steinman, the composer of most of Meat's beautiful songs. When Jim was looking for someone who was able to perform his songs properly, he found Meat, who was the perfect match for him. Their friendship lasts until today. Other beautiful songs are "Read 'em and weep", "Bat out of hell", "For crying out loud" (Meat considers this song as the best love song ever written), "Objects in the rear view mirror (may appear closer than they are)", "Everything louder than everything else". Just take one and you can't go wrong. Or try his performance as Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show. That's when he got my attention when I was approximately 10 to 12 years old. 😊
I stumbled upon your video due tot the fact that Jim Steinman (1947-2021) passed away today , the guy who wrote most Meat Loaf songs. I did enjoy it very much.
I am laaaugh'n at your reaction at the end = daamn you know this song is good when you start get'n down about something that happened in the past = "You're better than that, maan!" BRILLIANT!!🤣😂🤣
The "story behind the song"; In a 2003 interview for VH1 Ultimate Albums series, Steinman said he was complaining to friend Mimi Kennedy that he couldn’t get a deal. She suggested his songs were too complicated. Just then, Elvis' I Want You, I Need You, I Love You came on the radio & she said, "Why don't you write something simple like that." He went home & “tried so hard” to write a simple song & this was the result. Steinman said, “still a twist but it was my closest to a simple song & one Elvis could have done."
It's all about honesty. Something we don't see alot of these days. Have you ever been on the rebound? Desperately trying to have the same feelings for someone, but feeling guilty because you know it's a lie. Maybe the past relationship was an illusion, but it's better to stay alone till you're healed and whole, then drag someone else into the picture! Some of them us learned that the hard way! BTW, best concert I've ever been to! I hitchhiked there in 1978 and that was not a norm for me, lol
Meat loaf is the most underrated musician of all time.
I totally agree. That voice is a god given gift. You can’t teach that.
To be a musician, it would curtail that one plays a musical instrument. Meat Loaf is a Singer/Vocalist and he is awesome at being such.
Saw him in concert on a stacked card (George Thorogood, Lee Aaron, Ugly Kid Joe, April Wine, Def Leppard..). He was my favorite of the day. He slayed it. Btw.. dude was in the musical Hair way back when. He is legit talented.
@@AndieO I would’ve killed to have been there!!! Wow! What year was that?? I’m starting to feel really old when these new kids are discovering the classics!
He is more than a musician. He's a performer. An actor with terrific stage presence.
Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman together is pure artistry.
And don't forget Todd Rundgren
Absolutely. What would Bat Out of Hell been without Todd producing or his incredible guitar skills? Seems I remember reading he laid that motorcycle riff down in about 15 minutes and in only 1 take. (Could be wrong)
RIP Jim Steinman

@@ohauss I know this of course. And the Pandora's Box version is virtually identical. But I try to reference something they would have heard of!
R.I.P Jim - you'll be missed
Indeed. Thank you for giving him some credit.
"And all of a sudden, I'm missin' somebody I don't even _know_." What a fan-tas-tic reaction! Thanks for this one!
I literally laughed out loud at that!
I can understand that. I remember the first time I heard this song, I got this over emotional feeling that I could never identify but that's what it was I was missing someone I don't even know. Meatloaf could really deliver a song and he did here. He could make you feel the emotion in his songs.
That is what a truly brilliant song will do to you.
He should do best of Bread, all kinds of feels!
I was literally crying when he said that, and I don't even have anyone to cry about right now. I felt the same thing.
His shows were legendary. He collapsed on stage from exhaustion. He would literally LIVE the role every night on stage. Amazing performer.
The man is huge, He's like 6'5", 350+ lbs. Big Man.
“But there ain’t no Coupe De Ville hiding at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box”.....
Maybe my favorite line of all time along with "Mama told me not to look into the eyes of the sun, but mama that's where the fun is."
@@davidgross990 great song.
One of the greatest song ever written. Meat always poured every once of energy everytime he performed.
I 100% agree. I am 55 and don’t remember not loving this song.
You are absolutely right! You KNOW a song/singer is good when listening to them transports you INTO the song they are singing! Meatloaf does that! Great reaction!
I love me some Meatloaf. He pulled you into his song. He is that awesome.
R.I.P. Meatloaf you are sorely missed and forever remembered. Thank you for the decades of your beautiful voice, the music and fun.
My whole childhood was my parents listening to Meatloaf everyday. Haven't heard any in years, it was some how like a warm hug hearing this again. Thanks Billy!
Those lyrics..'you'll never drill for oil on a city street, lookin for a ruby on a mountain of rocks but there ain't no coupe de ville hidin at the bottom of a Cracker Jack box"are so impeccable some of the greatest of the time
My fave line is, "You've been so cold to me so long I'm crying icicles instead of tears."
It doesn't get much better than Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. Those two together are a stellar combination.
Like peanut butter and jelly
I feel as if a part of my youth died with the passing of this wonderful entertainer and genuine human being. Marvin Lee Aday (Michael) AKA Meatloaf your musical performances will live on! Thanks for the decades of memories.

R.I.P. Jim. Your music will live on forever.
“I’m missing somebody I don’t even know” 😂😂
So lovely seeing Jim on the piano
The vocal just keeps going from start to finish, no guitar solo or instrumental break, a great karaoke song.
07:12 "I'm missing somebody I don't even know!" That's the power of Meat Loaf, my man. He makes you feel the emotions he's singing about.
Meatloaf was so underrated!
If you like Meat Loaf, you should try “I’d do anything for love” and “Life is a Lemon”. Both of these are from later albums, but are just as good as his ‘70s stuff.
I second those choices, especially Life is a Lemon, rarely reacted to, most covers are done by high school music groups
Meat loaf had so many hits
Life is a Lemon is great but you should also watch wasted youth also those two song will blow your mind. Meatloaf is a legend in 🎸
agree - I'd also suggest "Objects in the Rear View Mirror"
Where’s the love for the Dead Ringer album, Read em and Weep, I’m gonna Love Her For Both Of Us, I’ll Kill You If You Don’t Come Back, More than You Deserve and Dead Ringer For Love.
Criminally underrated album
You should listen to other songs of his, such as “Paradise By The Dashboard Light”, “Bat Out Of Hell”, “Dead Ringer” with Cher, and his big comeback “I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That”.
He's done Paradise
@@WizardPandora Yes, he did. But "Paradise..." without a live version of Meat Loaf is like dry bread. 😀
@@Lamm139 he did the live in August 2019, it got pulled down at some point, I know because it was my Patron request
@@WizardPandora Thank you. I wasn't aware of BillyYSC's channel at that time. Is there a vimeo channel or something like that where I can watch it?
@@Lamm139 sadly not at that time, as you can see he didn't even remember doing it lol, I had to remind him
RIP Mr Loaf. The world was better for having you here.
bat outta hell is one of the greatest songs ever writen
One of the best albums ever.
@@kimberlycarmona490 the best for me !!!
Need to check out Objects in the Rearview Mirror. It’s an emotional ride of growing up and getting old
Meatloaf was and still is one of the best ranging vocal artists of his genre. unfortunately he passed away, but his legacy will live on forever!
Billy..you so crazy ..lol. Loved your review of the legend named Meatloaf. I saw him in concert, and it was the best time I have ever had. Not only was he a great singer, but he was SO dramatic and gave his audience a show to remember for a lifetime. My son used to call him "Uncle Meatloaf" when he was little.

Meatloaf gave everything he had every performance. His shows are legendary!!
I totally agree how a song like this can make you feel like you are missing someone you never even met!
“Life was good up this point.”😂😂😂
You made me laugh. “I’m listening to this song and I’m missing somebody I don’t even know”. Lol. How funny. I feel ya
I was way too young to know how deep this song really was. He only loved one woman, and couldn't love another... and now for that reason, he's saying the SAME thing to a woman that his "one true love" said to him many years earlier. 😥

My Absolute favorite songs of all time.. I saw him in concert in San Diego when I was like 18... he would sing this song till he was hoarse. Just amazing ... Thank you again Billy Boi....🍀💚🍀💚
This song and performance is timeless. Meat loaf is a natural singer/performer. Thanks for the reaction.
REST IN PARADISE ( BY THE DASHBOARD LIGHT ) YOU WILL BE SO MISSED 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
What happened is the power of his voice and the words by Steinman, brilliant talent from both men, I’ll miss them both
It must evoke an emotion for it to be considered art. I love his music.
He gets you in your feeling's.I honestly don't think anyone besides him could do this song with this much meaning .
This song will tear your heart out, UGH! Hard to believe he’s gone now..😔💔 RIP MEAT LOAF
Meat Loaf lead singer Passed away this day R.IP you will always be loved 💕
That is the magic of a good song sang good it takes you to a place that you haven’t thought of for a while.
Meat's got an amazing voice. To hear how awesome it is listen to bat out of hell he really lets it rip! If you really want your heart pulled out listen to objects in the rearview mirror may appear closer than they are I can never not cry when I watch that video.

Great song! Meat Loaf poured his emotions, soul into this one!!!!
You NEVER get over that kind of hurt I KNOW. 😥💔
Amazing artist. Amazing song. He did broadway too.
Thanks for this wonderful reaction. ☮️💟
Meatloaf could sing so hard your heart breaks.
Great voice and even better live and so loud great entertainer
Nicely done! 👍🏻😎😎😎
Meatloaf is a talent...captivating in his glorious voice. 😊

I stumbled upon your video due tot the fact that Jim Steinman (1947-2021) passed away today , the guy who wrote most Meat Loaf songs. I did enjoy it very much.

Exactly..Know your worth!!!! Meatloaf was a great preformer.
The entire Bat Out Of Hell album is pure perfection. Also, check "Objects in the Rearview Mirror" from Bat Out of Hell II
Classic reaction. This right here is why Billy is the best.
hes singing----i have been hurt and it works both ways
Love this song. He's an undrersted singer.
Thank you for the reacton
"how did you take me to a place i havent been for a long time" ...exactly
Yay, Meatloaf!! Can you do his song For Crying Out Loud? It's beautiful!! Great song pick and reaction!!🙂
#RIP R.I.P. Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947 - January 20, 2022), better known as Meat Loaf #RIPMeatLoaf
Brings back memories !!!💓💓💓
Meatloaf, such a great artist. Maybe not heard as often as he should be, maybe we should request his music more often? Always love to hear him
It's all about honesty. Something we don't see alot of these days. Have you ever been on the rebound?

My favorite song of theirs.
Thank you for finally reacting to this song! I requested this months ago. I'm so glad that you liked it. Told you, you wouldn't regret hearing it.
One of my favorite Meatloaf songs 😎❤️🇺🇸
I agree with you totally.
This is my favorite Meatloaf song!
My “first love” break up and I had to listen to this song every hour on the radio 😔
Meatloaf song that will hit you in the feels - Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than they Are
One of his best songs.
Meatloaf has some of the greatest music EVER!!!
This song is so good cuz most people have either been on one side or the other so you fall into a spell listening
Always loved this album! Meatloaf came to play at my college in 1985 and only about 25 people showed up. It was still great!
This song hits hard
"I'm missing someone I don't even know" ... That was a great sentence, love it, .. But know where your coming from lol
