Like a BAT OUT OF HELL • • • • • (bewertet mit 4 von 5 Punkten) This is a fast read! The subject is interesting, and it reads like a Cinderella rock-n-roll dreams come true story...only to come back down to Earth in the third act! Meatloaf presents us with a good view of his life, how his music came about, and why him and Jim Steinman make such a good team. Lots of anecdotes that will satisfy any Meatloaf fan (like when he meets Charles Manson). But I can't help but notice that short shrift is given to "the bad days" of drugs and marital strife. They keep the tone light and breezey! This is not a tell-all expose, but more of what you could imagine getting if you sat down across the table from Meatloaf and asked "How did you get here?" So from a fan's viewpoint...this is a treat and a rare opportunity. But those who want the dirt, I'd say you need to find another source. Lots of pictures by the way! And the book is well designed! So it looks great out on the coffee table -- seriously. Most interesting passages seem to deal with the BAT OUT OF HELL sessions where Meatloaf and Jim Steinman spend months trying to convince ANYBODY that this is a good album and needs to be released. Shows you how ignorant the record companies can be at times. Think of all the "suits" smacking their heads after the album became a smash. And then the unreal expectations of the performers after the whole BAT craze...searching for another hit! It's a common drama in rock-n-roll, so definitely a great choice! Eine Rezension von Brett D.
