Seeing it live was the best, the ending was always a drama.

Here’s some Meat Loaf trivia.

Ellen Foley (of Night Court fame) was the original voice on Paradise, she was replaced by Karla DeVitom who toured with Meat Loaf, on the video. Ellen also had a relationship with Mick Ronson and sang backup on The Clash. She was also the first one to record Steinman’s It’s All Coming Back To Me Now long before Celine Dion or Meat Loaf.

There are so many great live versions of this it’s hard to pick the best.

A great rock musician who was in a lot of fun movies.

Sadly, he also doomed all of human civilization.

I kind of liked this version best. Something about him being so sweaty and gross, and she makes out with him anyway…lol

That was from a movie called “Roadie”. I saw it in the theater when I was about 12. Not a great movie but I enjoyed it because I had a bad case of the hots for Deborah Harry when I was a kid. Thank for sharing that clip!

They didn’t make a big deal about him being Meat Loaf. After all, his name was Robert Paulson.

That’s sad.

Guess ‘the thing he wouldnt do for love’ was take better care of himself to avoid catching a highly contagious yet preventable disease.

Thanks for letting me know, I wasn’t aware of that movie at all. I figured it was some kind of live concert video that was made.

So, from this, we don’t even need to ask the question “Was the guy vaccinated?” We know.

Never has someone typed the letters smh in solidarity with so many other people typing the letters smh.

I don’t like feeding Trump’s view of himself as the most important thing ever by acting like he’s the End of Civilization.

I don’t think civilization is ending, but if it is Trump is just a tawdry sideshow on the way there.

One of the Four Horses’ Asses of the Apocalypse, perhaps.

It very well could be. I’m not generally prone to such thinking, but late stage capitalism is starting to crack apart in major ways that could be incredibly disruptive.

I hadn’t seen. :cry:
I like to think he would’ve appreciated that the report in Rolling Stone was published on 4/20, though!
