Anyone have Meat Loaf?
Meaaaaaat 
Auld Maaaaate Loaf gone to the great gig in the sky or down below.
Did he play in Croom back in the 80s when things were bad for him? Status Quo played there too I think. I wonder who the booker was who was able to get them to Croom!

Vaguely remember him touring around small venues in Ireland with Bonnie Tyler, think it was called the Heaven and Hell tour and they had a compilation album out of the same name.
I used to have a Meatloaf Bat out of Hell Sweatshirt
I recall my sister heading to a Meat Loaf gig in Cavan way back when I was about six or seven. As I got older and became accustomed as to his actual fame I thought I must have dreamt that but obviously my recollection was correct.
I wonder if the last thing he saw was his heart, still beating, breaking out of his body and flying away.

Moate in the 80s 
Iâm fuckÂing leavÂing here man,â Meat Loaf roared, to Marty by the side of the stage.
âNo way! You canât,â Marty told MeatÂ. âTheyâll fuckÂing kill you.â
A white runÂner boot, its path to the stage illuÂmiÂnated by the arc of a spotÂlight, then hit the star turn.
âFuck you!â Meat Loaf roared back, and he promptly stormed off stage, microÂphone dropÂping to the floor in a screech of feedÂback. The band â a bunch of hired hands most likely on wages as poor as the food throughÂout the tour â were not yet fully comÂpeÂtent in readÂing Meat Loafâs sigÂnals, and they played on. Was this a cosÂtume change? âI dunno, Iâm only the drummer.â
BackÂstage in the narÂrow hallÂway which treÂbled as dressÂing room, load-in point and backÂstage area, Meat Loaf was fumÂing. Like the band, the crowd hadnât yet realised heâd stormed off stage so not only did his grand exit not achieve the desired effect, but most peoÂple there thought it was part of the show.
Supremely pissed off, he relucÂtantly went back on to about a thouÂsand roars for Bat Out Of Hell.
Marty recalls: âThe lights caught someÂthing shiny and a secÂond or two later I saw it. I thought âoh no⌠this is it⌠showâs overââŚâ
FlyÂing through the air was⌠a wheelchair.

Meatloaf was if I recall correctly hit on the head with a shot putt in an athletics accident when he was young. I think that was the cause of the dramatic weight gain.
RIP you legend,

A lot of relationships began and ended during that song in an 80s slow set.
Youâd need to be leaning the head for the kiss by the second chorus
