Meatloaf - Heaven Cant Wait

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

I think it's just minced beef pressed into a loaf shape.

[Goldentony]

its a loaf of meat mate, meat in a loaf

[shoulders]

Father, they have combined Meat and Loaf in a new hellish way

[mothman]

Paradise by the crematorium's pilot light.

[Elderly Sumo Prophecy]

The irony is, of course, that Meat Loaf absolutely hated meat loaf. "Povvo-tier bag lady shit" he called it.

[Video Game Fan 2000]

Interesting fact I learned: Meat is the name of the band, Loaf is the name is the singer.

[bgmnts]

Meat and the Loaves would be a great name.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Meatus and the Loaves would be a great name.

[Butchers Blind]

Common misunderstanding is that MeatLoaf never ate a bat on stage, it was Ronnie James Dio from the band Ronnie.

From the diary of Marvin Lee Aday, aged 14:

Good rock star names to use when I'm famous:

Hotpot
Faggots in Gravy
Meat Loaf
Strawberry Mivvi

Have a vague recollection of watching him collect an award and being asked "so Meat, you said you'd do anything for love but won't do that. What is 'that exactly" and he says "rimming". Did this happen?

Also i remember while at college a guy used to come into the pub at the same time every day like clockwork, order a pint and a whisky and put 'Back Into Hell' the instrumental track off Bat Out Of Hell II, on and by the time it had finished he be gone again. Every day.

[idunnosomename]

how he got the name Meatloaf is at least a less dismal origin story than Captain Beefheart

Meat gets in grave-y

[Ferris]

Unvaccinated overweight man in his mid 70s dies of covid.

His collaborator Jim Steinman died last year of kidney failure/pneumonia/and or "a short disease" depending on your newspaper or choice so it's not a stretch to read between the lines and chalk that one up to covid and/or being unvaccinated too.



Cut down in their primes.

Silly, silly boys

It comes from a bullying high school teacher giving him the cruel nickname "Todd Rundgren" in gym class

Perhaps it was the old man I used to see on the London to Brighton train. Same one, same time, every day. Same seat. An old grey man in an old grey suit. He'd sit there. Methodically drinking two cans of Stones bitter. Staring straight ahead. Into an abyss only he could see. He'd seen some shit, that much was plain.

[Shaky]

Just learned he changed his name to Michael in 1984, so we've been wrong for all these years. How the fuck was that not better known?

Was that because of the Levi's 'Fat Marvin' thing?

[mothman]

Apparently so, yes.
