Michael Bay directed two major music videos for Meat Loaf that were absolutely epic and classic and like mini movies. What a start to as early film career. Worth checking out as we celebrate MEAT LOAF… RIP!
😔I hope the last he saw was his heart…. Still beating, breaking out of his body and flying away- like a Bat out of Hell- RIP Marvin
Well crap…
AdrianaOzoresCF RIP - his name was Robert Paulson
Acyn If you liked Faith No More, you had Meatloaf to thank.
Acyn Jesus. Meatl Loaf seemed immortal. RIP 💔
Acyn Meatloaf’s were those rare FM radio songs that you could hear start, then go outside and ride your bike for a while, come home, and they would still be playing.
Today, it’s common to see performers break the mold of what a pop star/celebrity is “supposed to look like.” Meat Loaf broke that mold during a time when talent didn’t always come first.
“His other screen credits include the features Roadie, Motorama, Leap of Faith and Americathon.” Because, you know, nobody but nobody knows him as Bob from Fight Club.
Meatloaf always kept it real with his girls. “I’d do anything for love…” 🎶🚫❤️🔥😂
😭 🎧
Acyn RIP rock legend

After seeing Rock Horror Picture show with some friends in high school, one complained about the dinner scene. I said, 'what's wrong...they were just eating Meat Loaf.' The girl didn't get it.
