I remember my wife caught a (somewhat sweat soaked) towel he chucked into the crowd, she couldn’t miss it as it got her square in the chops, and when we got home found a plectrum (with ‘The Snake’ embossed on it) down the front of her shirt, which must have been one of several the guitarist was throwing into the crowd.
Never a fan myself, but that album was/is iconic, shifting something like 43m copies. Interesting character in interview, I liked him despite not being a fan of the music. RIP

Sadly he never surpassed that album,
and as '64 stated Steinman passed and so has Tod Rundgren who did the guitar work on that album.
Like Muppet... I like that album, but not so much any of his other work.
Not here, Hector. I heard the album 1000's of times over a two year period, got sick of it tbh. Same with the likes of Oasis, another band I wouldn't want to hear in my life again, they ripped off The Beatles anyway.
You'd be surprised how many of those type of artists I actually have in my collection, which I'll never play again.
Good old Todd too, this is the place for knowledgable music aficionados
My wife dragged me to the bat out of hell musical a few months back and whilst the story was tripe the music was fantastic (obviously not a patch on meat loaf singing himself though) rejuvenated my love of his music and been top of my playlist ever since.
Witnessed ML as a very young lad at Donnington 83, not my thing personally, was there to listen to Jon Lord & Cozy Powell do their thing with WS, and Ronnie James Dio with his self named band. Other than that the bearded boys from ZZT were class, although WS's lighting & pyrotechnics probably took the plaudits. Seemed to remember ML took the brunt of the bottle throwing which was the fad at the time at Donnington. RIP

I went to the first 4/5 Donnington rock gigs, brilliant.
Also had / maybe still have, a copy of Bat out of Hell, an iconic album of yesteryear, the others weren't as good shall we say, the trio of Steinman, Lundgren and Meat Loaf worked well, more of an American band.
Once saw a tribute act 'Pete Loaf' in a pub, the women were loving it

I had a £10 treble on Sidney Pottier, Kevin Keegan and Meat Loaf all dying this month, I suppose 2 out 3 ain't bad !!
Didn't like his songs but lots of memories of hair and sweaty embraces, the local disco (we never called them nightclubs) played Two Out of Three Aint Bad in every slow set when I was a teenager.
I was shocked and saddened to hear this , I saw him live years ago fantastic performer Him and Steinem created some fabulous tracks , Heaven can wait ,For crying out loud and Paradise by the dashboard light are all superb along with many more
