Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose

[Stephen of Borg 2]

Halloween will see the release of Meatloaf's newest album. Anyone planning to get it?

I own every cd that Meatloaf has ever made and I will most likely get this one too. I've seen him in cincert about 8 times too.

have you seen the movie Roadie? It stars Meatloaf and it is about him taking a girl to an Alice Cooper concert! The movie is awesome, it also has Blondie in it as well!

I've seen Roadie. Its a great movie. Meatloaf was also in the "Rocky Horror Music Show". He played Eddie.

he's really milking the Bat gimmick isn't he?

[Kor37 9]

Yeah he is. I'll report on the cd when I get it. I got an email today telling me that it has been shipped.

I watched an interview with him yesterday and he said that he planned a trilogy of Bat out of Hell after the first one became popular. I have the CD and it rocks!! Some songs are metal and others are the traditional Meatloaf sounding songs.

 

A song that may confuse some people will be that he does a cover of "It's All Coming Back to Me Now". People are going to say, isn't that a Celine Dion song? The truth is that it was written by Jim Steinman, the man who wrote Meatloaf's biggest hits. It was going to be on Bat out of Hell 2, but they decided to save it for the third album.

 

There are some really good tracks on this album, but I think that my favorite song is "Alive". Overall, I think that this album was worth the long wait and most fans should be pleased. Like I said, some songs may not seem Meatloaf, but it does have a touch. They aren't completely out of place and it all comes together in the end and makes one fun album that you will play a lot.
