Biografie
Meat Loaf (born Marvin Lee Aday) is a hard rock icon from Dallas, Texas, US. He is widely acknowledged as the king of the power ballad.
His spirit-surging hit, “I’d Do Anything for Love” defining the genre and getting him the Grammy Award for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance. The tune, which works the refrain title into, “I would do anything for love/ I’d run right into hell and back/ I would do anything for love/ I’d never lie to you and that’s a fact…But I won’t do that”, could be the most ambiguous in modern music.
There’s endless conjecture about what “that” could be, from the earnest to the whimsical to the downright disgustingly demoralising. “I’d Do Anything for Love” and other classic Loaf hit, “Bat Out of Hell”, earned their place in the heavy rock canon of 80s hits and are now mandatory mainstays in any public house video duke box, over-30’s birthday party, reception, or office karaoke night.
His famed Bat Out of Hell album trilogy, which comprises “Bat Out of Hell” (1977), “Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell” (1993), Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose” (2006) has sustained a long, successful career.
He shot to fame with the release of “Bat Out of Hell”, which was five years in the making with friend and songwriter, Jim Steinman. It followed on from a period of moderate success of the debut album, “Stoney & Meatloaf” (1971), which he had recorded with Sean ‘Stoney’ Murphy on Motown records.
His early career was marked with acting appearances in Broadway productions, Hair and More Than You Deserve, and as Eddie in the Rocky Horror Picture Show and supporting slots for the likes of The Who, The Stooges, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper and Richie Havens.
Bat Out of Hell has sold more than 43 million copies globally. Even 35 years after its release it sells an estimated 200,000 copies every year, making it one of the best-selling albums of all time.
He’s been known lately for his eccentric public appearances, as erratic therapy patient Robert “Bob” Paulsen in David Fincher’s “Fight Club”, and unctuously serenading Mitt Romney in Ohio on his 2012 presidential campaign.
He’s set to work with Jim Steinman once again on an album scheduled for release in 2015 to be called “Braver Than We Are”.

Meat Loaf
Expecting measured and restrained behaviour from a man who’s referred to himself as ‘Meat Loaf’ in a professional context for over forty years now is probably a tad optimistic, but the sheer drama of his departure from an arena show in Newcastle back in 2007 remains amusing. After abruptly announcing that the performance would be his final ever, he thought about continuing, before simply telling the crowd “goodbye forever” and walking off stage. He was having a bad night, presumably, because he’s continued to hit the road since, and not without good reason. He’s probably not quite as fit as he was back in his heyday, but Meat Loaf’s formidable vocal cords are holding up pretty well - and besides, if you’ve got the means to play arena shows, then why not afford yourself all the typical trappings to fall back on? Meat Loaf does precisely that, with a full live band that are by no means shy of a solo or two, and an elaborate stage show that plays up to the keen sense of theatricality in his songs. Musically speaking, expect to hear all the classics - ‘Bat Out of Hell’, ‘I Would Do Anything for Love’ - alongside a slew of fan favourites; with a cult fanbase continuing to pack the biggest rooms in the land, don’t expect him to go anywhere just yet.

American artist Meatloaf has achieved iconic status in the UK, with his famous ‘Bat Out of Hell’ trilogy. The king of the power ballad, Meatloaf was a delight to watch on stage and had many of the audience members in awe when the chords were struck for his hit ballad ‘I’d Do Anything For Love’, which was met with rapturous cheers and allowed the entire arena to belt along to the lyrics, their eyes shut in content and their fists raised to the sky. ‘Bat out of Hell’ was also met with a great crowd reaction, setting the arena alight. The stage lit up when Meatloaf performed his greatest hits and the light show was phenomenal, really adding to the show. The atmosphere all night was fantastic, with a whole range of ages turned up to witness the legend in action. After all these years Meatloaf still has it, with his raw and powerful, distinctly unique voice. There was a sense of theatricality to the show that was just awe inspiring to watch.

I was super excited to see Meatloaf last night.I had grown up listening to his music due to my older sister introducing me to it.He was as powerful as his lyrics.He performed just as expected and really put on a great show by giving it his all and really taking his audience back through his hits.Watching him was incredible because he seemed to really enjoy to be there and was pleasantly pleased as the audience sang his lyrics with him or to him.His concert was special to me because my sister had passed away years ago,but his deliverance of his songs with his heart and dedication made me feel like she was there with me,bringing me back to the days we jammed and sang together.He took me to an awesome place of great memories and I am grateful for that. So,"you took the words right out of my mouth",as Meatloaf ROCKED it out!!!

Saw Meatloaf in Toms River NJ at the Intermediate Complex around 2004? It was Fantastc! Lightening, Thunder, Pouring Down Rain! Nothing stopped Meatloaf! It was outside, they tried to get us to take cover, no one wanted to go, Meatloaf said the show must go on! He was unbelievable!

Absolutely magical. And the way they played with Paradise by the Dashboard Light was epic. "Honey, I'm 68 years old, my days of going all night are loooooong over."
My mind was blown over, and over and over. He's lost none of his voice, and puts on an awesome show.
