1001 Album Complaints The Story Behind: Meat Loaf - Bat Out of Hell, Ep. 238
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Meat Loaf met his soulmate Jim Steinman on stage in New York and the two set about crafting the most over-the-top theatrical rock opera of an album ever produced. The only problem? No one wanted it....until everyone did. The boys get together to discuss piano prodigies, excessively long songs, and ripping 70s guitar.
