RIP

I didn't know he was still alive tbh

**OldFartTom** · 01-21-2022, 07:04 AM

Big loss!

Didn't it seem so random, when he was in fight club?

**Hypernation** · 01-21-2022, 07:08 AM

His name was Robert Paulson.

RIP , I have so many great memories of listening to his music , and was really a part of my era in my teens.
Remember it like yesterday playing his songs on the jukebox at our local restaurant . Good times

I used to run a bar. There was a regular group of women that would play Meatloaf on the jukebox and sing along to it. The jukebox had 45s. Usually after midnight. It got pretty loud.

Same here, no fake leather cassette tape briefcase was complete without a Meatloaf cassette back in the day.

I believe he toured long after his tour was over and his voice was gone, but who can blame him? Not everybody has a voice like James Taylor that just gets better with age.

**marinevet63031** · 01-22-2022, 03:53 AM

I still listen to “Bat Out of Hell” at least one day a week. Just great music. He was good in the movie “Black Dog” as well with Kurt Russell. “Bat Out of Hell, Back Into Hell” was good. However, to me, it just isn’t as fun.

He was a bit before my time but I did like his stuff from the early/mid 90's? I think I was in HS when he reemerged.

I did like Paradise by the Dashboard Lights as a kid. Didn't understand it then but as a Yankee fan Phil Rizzuto was a familiar voice

When he was on The Apprentice he was a complete douchebag & pussy. Total diva act with the yelling and screaming over stupid $hit that would then devolve into crying over Painted Turtle.

Not sure, I heard he was anti Vax, he had COVID but that was back in August but had some long term symptoms of tiredness etc.
He did have heart rhythm problems https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/wolff-...hite-syndrome/ and possibly arterial fibrillation (and something else too?) I think it was a heart problem that got him??

However his heath issues were private and he and his family kept them that way so we may never know

And yet you'll NEVER be the legend he was

**debandmikeb** · 01-22-2022, 04:59 PM

I'm a big fan and Deb is a huge fan. We saw him a couple of times and I gotta say, he didn't put on a show....he put on a SHOW!! The energy was contagious because after seeing his performance, I was tired when i got home. Always had a good band and singers behind him but he was the show. I will say it was kinda sad to see him on the Huckabee show when he had to sit down to sing because his back caused him so much pain.
He will be missed by many.

Mike

Meatloaf was a legend ?

**steffo99** · 01-22-2022, 05:26 PM

Saw him a little bit in my teens....just wondering how he came up with the name? Is there a story behind that or did he just like meat loaf?
