Bat out of Hell is a class album, mad as a box frogs but class. May he rest in peace.
Also, Bob had bitch tits.
His name was Robert Paulson
He’ll be back like a bat out of hell
Ah that’s disappointing to hear, hr had a great voice
The mammy will be in bits
Seen him playing in Dalyer many moons ago, I was near the stage and he gave it everything. If my memory serves me correctly, I recall him taking oxygen from a mask in between songs.
Rest in peace.
74 is young. RIP
We’ll miss you Bitch Tits. ☹
Great singer.
The sirens are screaming, and the fires are howling
Way down in the valley tonight
There’s a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye
And a blade shining oh so bright
There’s evil in the air and there’s thunder in the sky,
And a killer’s on the bloodshot streets
And down in the tunnels where the deadly are rising
Oh, I swear I saw a young boy down in the gutter
He was starting to foam in the heat
Oh, baby you’re the only thing in this whole world
That’s pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There’s always gonna be some light,
But I gotta get out, I gotta break out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it’s over, you know,
We’ll both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over, like a bat out of hell, I’ll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight’s shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you
I’m gonna hit the highway like a battering ram
On a silver-black phantom bike
When the metal is hot, and the engine is hungry
And we’re all about to see the light
Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole,
And everything is stunted and lost
And nothing really rocks, and nothing really rolls,
And nothing’s ever worth the cost
Well I know that I’m damned if I never get out,
And maybe I’m damned if I do,
But with every other beat I’ve got left in my heart,
You know I want to be damned with you
If I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
Dancing through the night with you/
Well if I gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned,
Gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
Gotta be damned, you know I want to be damned
Dancing through the night,
Dancing through the night,
Dancing through the night with you
Oh, baby you’re the only thing in this whole world
That’s pure and good and right
And wherever you are and wherever you go
There’s always gonna be some light,
But I gotta get out, I gotta break out now
Before the final crack of dawn
So we gotta make the most of our one night together
When it’s over, you know,
We’ll both be so alone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
When the night is over, like a bat out of hell, I’ll be gone, gone, gone
Like a bat out of hell I’ll be gone when the morning comes
But when the day is done
And the sun goes down
And the moonlight’s shining through
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you
Then like a sinner before the gates of Heaven
I’ll come crawling on back to you
Well I can see myself tearing up the road, faster
Than any other boy has ever gone
And my skin is raw, but my soul is ripe,
And no one’s gonna stop me now, I’m gonna make my escape
But I can’t stop thinking of you,
And I never see the sudden curve until it’s way too late
And I never see the sudden curve until it’s way too late
Then I’m down in the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun,
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike,
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart, still beating,
Breaking out of my body and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Then I’m down in the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun,
Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike,
And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell
And the last thing I see is my heart,
Still beating still beating
Still beating still beating
Breaking out of my body, and flying away
Like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell
Oh, like a bat out of hell (I’ll be gone when the morning comes)
Oh, like a bat out of hell (I’ll be gone when the morning comes)
Oh, like a bat out of hell
He played the showgrounds in Ennis in the 90s I think
And Jim Steinman, whom composed and wrote Bat out of Hell, died last year. I guess people are at that age they start to die of natural causes.
Now we’ll never know what that one thing was which he would never do for love
Like a Bat Into He’ll he is gone gone gone RIP Legend of the rock opera 🤟
Sad news…..
Side fact: his stepdaughter is married to Scott Ian of Anthrax.
didnt he tour a lot in ireland during the late 80’s when he had no albums out or record deal kind of thing, vaguely remember seeing lots of posters for an irish tour when i was about 11 or 12
​
Anyway rip marv
Fight Club was an unreal movie
Had the privilege of watching him in The Point 2007, he often said he wasn’t a singer but a performer. He knew how to put on a show.
Some absolute beasts of tunes in his collection, managed to pick up his Blind Before I Stop album on vinyl last year so I’ll be giving that a blast alongside some of his other albums. His more recent stuff wasn’t too shabby either.
RIP Loaf, you were an absolute legend.
“Rock n roll and brew, rock n roll and brew”. I’d have never took him for a tea man.
RIP Mr Loaf, you were part of the soundtrack of my youth.
Meat Loaf died so we could sit and drink pints at the bar.
He’ll get to see Kenny again now
The midlands-based tribute act Moate Loaf is in mourning.
Saw him in Marlay Park about 20 years ago, incredible show, one of the best live acts I ever saw
Aw, man! I guess with “Heaven” having a million plus more patrons this year, they needed more Entertainers.
R.I.P. Meatloaf.
Big Joe Joyce, King of Travelers, once threw a wheelchair at Meat Loaf when he was playing a concert in Moate.
Great driving music. Bat out of Hell II was the first album I ever bought, soon followed by the original.
Saw him in the point. Years ago. He put on a great show
The very first vinyl I spun as a young lad was Bat out of Hell, may have been the very first album I listened to in its entirety. Class shit altogether.
RIP big man.
Rest in peace Meat!
I guess I’m not the only one who grew up with their mum and dad playing his cassettes in the car!
Idk how I’m going to break the news to my mother
Hot Patooties bless his soul
The star of the Spice Girls movie 👋
RIP meat.
In the late 70s Early 80s every household in Ireland had 2 things a sacred heart picture and a copy of Bat Out of Hell on vinyl
His Bat 2 gig in The Point was my first ever concert.
Watch him on the Old Grey Whistle Test doing Paradise by the dashboard light.
Jim Steinman and him were were one of the classic rock pairings. (Steinman died in April last year)
The first single I ever bought was a meatloaf. Can’t believe he’s gone.
He’s a sinner before the gates of heaven…. Let him in lad!
He was a person and his name wasn’t fucking meatloaf. His name was Robert Paulsen.
Listened to the album version of bat out of hell on the bus this morning, came into work and few minutes later read he had died. It’s a sad day but a legend
