1980's "Roadie" starring Meat Loaf sometimes feels like the spiritual predecessor to "Almost Famous." In this scene we see the members of Blondie (Chris Stein, Clem Burke, Jimmy Destri, Nigel Harrison, and Frank Infante) wreaking havoc on a gathering for the Tire Salesmen of America as Deborah Harry displays some impressive beer bottle percussion. #Blondie #MeatLoaf #DeborahHarry | RetroObsessed

Meat Loaf has died at the age of 74. In 1995, the singer joined Cheryl Baker on Record Breakers to discuss the Bat Out Of Hell album, which became one of the best-selling of all time. | BBC Archive

On October 21, 1977, Meat Loaf released Bat Out of Hell, one of rock’s most dramatic, over-the-top, and unforgettable albums. Born Marvin Lee Aday on September 27, 1947, Meat Loaf’s powerhouse vocals and theatrical performances made him a true rock icon. He left us on January 20, 2022, but his music lives on every time someone cranks up “Paradise by the Dashboard Light” or “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad.” Long live Bat Out of Hell. Bat Out of Hell isn’t just an album, it’s an experience. #genx #80s
