One of the most interesting things I recall is his recount of the day JFK was assassinated.

I just messaged my friend Tom Brislin, who played keys for Meat Loaf for many years. RIP.
Somewhere up there, he's writing more 10-minute pop songs with Jim Steinman.

Just watched that the other day and had forgotten he was in it... Loved him as the dad in Pick of Destiny and the song they did with Tenacious D and Dio!
I dont know much about him but thought 2 out of 3 wasn't bad. I was more familiar with when he came out in the 90's for a second wind of his career. I heard it was Covid and he was anti vax. RIP....

I need to Ketchup on Meatloaf. Didn't know he had other albums.

You beat me to it... Meat Loaf is great in that sequence/role, although, if I'm being honest, he was sorta vocally over shadowed by Dio (another RIP)
I just watched that clip; he certainly was a great storyteller. RIP, Mr. Aday.

I was a closet Meatloaf fan. I liked alternative music in the 1970's. Including psychedelic, surf, and garage. I wasn't supposed to like the commercial slickness of Meatloaf. It sounded like cookie cutter hair band music. But I loved it, and still do. I had a strong emotional attachment to the lyrics of some of the songs. A very talented entertainer who gave his all when performing. I was lucky enough to see the “Bat Out of Hell” tour in Detroit in 1977, and it was one excellent show. I even grabbed a drum stick thrown into the audience after the show.
RIP Mr. Aday

One of my favorite players, Wells Kelly, OD'd while on tour with Meatloaf in London. Sad. RIP Meat.
I relish this kind of humor, but don’t think I could mustard up the courage to do it myself .

Food for thoughts...
VH1 Storytellers, I also saw him on that tour and his tour in the 70's with ELO
