Biography

Dallas, United States

Meat Loaf (born Marvin Lee Aday on September 27, 1947 in Dallas, Texas) is an American actor and rock and roll performer who came to fame with his album Bat Out of Hell and for his movie performances, including Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show, Robert “Bob” Paulson in Fight Club and Jack Black’s father in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny.

The All Of Me Songfacts reports that Meat Loaf described his 12th studio album, Hell in a Handbasket, to Billboard as, “the most personal record I’ve ever made.” He added: “It’s about how I feel the world’s gone to hell in a handbasket. It’s really the first record that I’ve ever put out about how I feel about life and how I feel about what’s going on at the moment.” The LP was released September 30, 2011 in Australia, followed by a release in February and March 2012 worldwide.

Meat Loaf has had a very successful music career spawning some of the greatest selling albums of all time and breaking various records. Although he enjoyed success with Jim Steinman’s Bat Out Of Hell Trilogy, he experienced some initial difficulty establishing a steady career within the United States; however, he is considered a legend in the UK and across Europe. In the UK, he is ranked 23rd for number of weeks in the charts overall. Due to his anthemic songs and a performance for Radio Veronica in the Netherlands, he stormed up their Top 100 of all times making a top 10 spot 6 years in a row.

    @ Tyranastrasz - I love "Life Is a Lemon..." but, while it's definitely heavier than most of his stuff, I think it's the total opposite of "uplifting." If you're looking for more uplifting, almost all of the original Bat Out of Hell qualifies (at least compared to II: Back Into Hell). Again, my disclaimer here is that I actually like II much more than the original...or anything else by Meat Loaf. If you want some combination of uplifting and more rocking, maybe try "Amnesty is Granted" or "Where the Rubber Meets the Road" off of Welcome to the Neighborhood.

    How about some recommendations one some heavier/more-upbeat songs by Meat, along the lines of "Life is a Lemon (And I Want My Money Back)"? Cheers.

    He's got what most of the "classic rockers" of the 70's lack and that fits like a glove with the genre: a sense of humour.
