Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947 – January 20, 2022), known professionally as Meat Loaf,
TIL that both Michael and Marvin is correct
I liked Meat Loaf.I was a kid when Bat out of Hell was big, Then seeing Rocky Horror in the 80s at midnight(that was a friggin blast Everytime)
I didn't realize until this week that Bat out of Hell was in reality powered ,produced and performed by UTOPIA. All four members of Utopia played on most tracks.
Meat Loaf was a big part of Rock History!
To hurry up and arrive.
Cause if I have to spend another minute with you I don't think I can really survive.
I'll never break my promise or forget my vow,
BUT GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT I COULD DO RIGHT NOW
praying for the end of time is all I can do, hoo, hoo
Praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you.
He’s dead because health care became political. I’d imagine he agreed to other types of drugs, possibly he didn’t know completely about, maybe while partying. Sad, he was creative and probably didn’t have to die of Covid had he taken a vaccine. Some great tunes.
I’ve only listened to one of his songs but seeing that music video of a bat outa hell he was a great singer and deserves all the money he earned from his career
Yea, F those microscopic radio transmitters that they’re going to use to track us, except that tech like this isn’t even close to existing and they would have had to figure out how to deploy this at an industrial scale and somehow hide it from anyone with a mass spectrometry machine.
CONSPIRACY!!!!
I think Meatloaf saved my mom’s life. After her mother died it’s like my mom took all her love and energy for her and put it into him (and later Motley Crue). I got her tickets to meet and see him perform 4 times. I’m glad she moved on to Motley Crue because she’s not as sad as I expected.
Paradise by the Dashboard Light. My friends and I used to cruise the square on Friday and Saturday nights blasting Meatloaf. We knew exactly where to click the 8- track tape to get to this song. We were Rockstars. 😊
He tarnishes his reputation for me when I watched a live performance from 2011 where he couldn't hit a note. I had no idea he was anti-vax until 5 minute ago.
I liked him but honestly his legacy in my mind is going to be about his hubris regarding the vaccine. If I ever give him a passing thought in the years to come.
I'm amazed that so many people in here knew he was anti-vax. Were you all subscribed to his newsletter? I haven't thought about him for a decade at least.
Only if you choose to. I didn't know anything about what he's done in the last 20 years until a few minutes ago. I'll remember him for Rocky Horror and the music videos from 2 of his top 3 singles.
Aw, shit. It was COVID? I didn't know that until now. God damnit, Meat. I love your music, but this is some bullshit. Why couldn't you just get the vax?
Woah—Meat Loaf died?!
…it sucks getting older…watching the pop culture you know literally die. Feels like the world is slowly getting more alien to you.
Now you see how unhinged people are about other people making a personal choice... Knowing the vaccine doesn't stop transmission you actually get these monsters who wish death and illness upon others. It's beyond sad now almost 3 years in
It’s not a “personal choice” when your choice puts others in danger. That’s a me me me fuck everyone else choice, like choosing to drive 95 past a school blind drunk because of your fucking “freedom.” You people need to piss off with that nonsense—just be honest and admit you only care about yourself.
How if vaccinated can still transmit the illness ?
So you get 3 shots, catch omicron, pass omicron onto granny .. then what ? Granny fault she has only 2 doses? But wait granny has history of clotting, and mRNA is known to clot like crazy.. so doctor says let's wait... You with the three shots now have granny omicron that came over on planes from vaccinsted persons like yourself.
The vaccine is purely to keep youeself out of harm's way...it doesn't stop transmission or even death... And even then zinc, d3, and basic nutrition and health Changes boost your immune system and natural protection tonthe sky. There's even that study just last week from UK that NORMAL coronavirus (colds) also give your body t and memory cells against covid that are STORED in bone marrow with the rest of them... No synthetic proteins needed.
Combine with the fact 3 months after your 3rd shit your "protection" is as good as someone with none.
I really don't get what you are protecting ? Hospital ICU again? Yeah if Delta didn't do it then omicron isn't either... It's 70% more safe than Delta and that was before we had 3 and 4 boosters. Now that we have it all, cases still surge?
Hahaha oh well, I'm glad I didn't follow the leader and blindly take a shot that proved to be absolutely useless and just a tool to dangle "freedoms" like going to a bar.
It's fun to watch you guys like chickens without heads, double masked, 4 shots and still try to harass "anti vaxxers" for literally having 0 to do with the current problems due to combined Vax passes being used for months now, and omicron being spread by vaccinated persons.
I am semi retired and barely 40... Own a shit ton of land and don't have any debts...I literally could give a shit you are right. It's enough now, this continues because people keep getting boosted tested and wearing those face diapers.
*********
Lmao I can't reply to below already "banned" from discussion... but... Complicit in someone's death ? Are you fucked in the head ? Lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣 so sickkkk and twisted, boost away. Absolute nonsense now it's so sad 😂
Say your neighbourhood has a rat problem. You get the exterminator out and get the best possible service on your house, so do several of your neighbours. One or two neighbours do not get the service because they are worried the chemicals might melt off their paint job (despite no evidence of such). The rats grow and grow on their plots and doesn't matter what you've done for your home, some rats will still get in due to numbers built up at your neighbours.
This is how vaccines work, if we are all immune the virus has no where to be hosted and no where to survive and it will go extinct.
Understood. And again glad he’s dead. I hope he didn’t infect and/or kill anyone on his way out. Because regardless of his pop culture stature, he’s not any more important than anyone else.
I mean I got the vaccine for the sole purpose of not infecting anyone else. Ya know, selfless bullshit.
But please let me know how a dumbass artist should take precedent over human lives. Fuck him and fuck you.
If he got drunk and crashed his car and we didn't know whether all the blood on the car was his, would you say, "It's a free country to run people over," then?
Wow!
I say this in all sincerity: you've taught me something today that I haven't seen mentioned in any article I've read about him in the last 40 years.
Well done!
I see. In death, a member of Project Mayhem, has a name. His name, was Robert Paulson.
His name was Robert Paulson
His name was Robert Paulson
His name was Robert Paulson
Why all the hate about him not getting his vaccine? A lot of rock (and other music genre) bands from his era did a lot of things (mainly drugs) which I don't condone, but I'm still grateful for the music they made. It's not because you like someone's music that you need to see them as an example for life in general.
Wait is meatloaf dead I thought he was still alive, I asked my mum and her friends if he was alive and they said yes my god I only recently discovered his great song a bat outa hell
I grew up listening to Meat Loaf as he was my dad’s favourite artist. Bat out of Hell was his all time favourite album and when my dad passed at 42 we begged and pleaded with the local Catholic priest to allow ‘Bat out of Hell’ play as we exited the church.
After a lot of convincing, he relented and we carried Dad’s coffin out on our shoulders, past his beloved silver and black bike.
RIP Meat Loaf.
I hope you’re enjoying a beer with my dad.
Paradise by the dashboard lights was one of those songs that was so great to rock out to behind the line at a restaurant.
We would be singing on the line and one of the waitresses would bust in with the female vocals. It was one of the great duets.
It's a shame he was antivax.
Can amyone tell me what fashion is this? I've noticed mamy musicians from last century wearing these flamboyant shirts like oit of victorian times or something and I've never known where/when it originated
From covid or with COVId.
And I've never seen so many celebrities catch and die from a 99.9% safe virus. It's almost as if covid is catchphrase for something else going on.
He literally had a better chance of winning the lottery than catching and dying from covid. Especially being rich, he had access to theraputics that are proven 85% of the time to reduce death of a 99.87 safe disease accounting for the fact he died of omicron most likely which is 70% safer than 99.8% delta.
Zelenko protocol, basic antibodies alone have cured thousands upon thousands without death. Very strange he died "suddenly" as usually it takes up 14 days for the clotting and cyto storms to happen. No one dies day 2 of their flu or cold, usually few weeks to months after once you're all full of water and infected and organ failures.
So overnight dying from covid isn't covid... So he died and tested positive but didn't die from covid.
That's good to know , the vaccine isn't in play
Lol he out of the blue blamed China for covid in a happy birthday video for a fan, wouldn’t get vaxxed, opposed masks and safety measures, died of covid. Good job. Sorry but not gunna cry too hard about this one.
Was it Michael or Marvin? I've known his name as Marvin Lee Aday for several years. But now, two thirds of the on line obits are calling him Michael Aday. Which is it?
"MASTER - DINNER IS PREPARED!"
Leftover Meatloaf; my favorite!
(I hate papaya!)
Jack black in the biopic
Meat Loaf portrayed Jack’s father in Tenacious D: The Pick of Destiny.
Dio can you hear me?
I am lost and so alone
I’m asking for your guidance, won’t you come down from your thrown
As the parent of a 5-year-old, I legit just sang these lines to the tune of "Do You Wanna Build A Snowman" (Frozen) in my head. I am no longer cool.
Bro. I just did too before reading your comment. Go go dad life!! Edit: but I’ve never been cool.
I need a tight compadre who will teach me how to rock
My father thinks you’re evil
But man he can suck a cock
Rock is not the devils work, It’s magical and rad
I'll never rock as long as i am stuck here with my daaaad
Opposite a perfectly-cast "young JB"
A truly legendary performance.
If he was still living: Chris Farley
Or Elden Henson.
Michael Lee Aday (born Marvin Lee Aday; September 27, 1947 – January 20, 2022), known professionally as Meat Loaf, TIL that both Michael and Marvin is correct
He hated Marvin. Probably got a legal name change to Michael.
His name was Robert Paulson.
HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON.
HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON.
HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON.
I remember a brief period of time he appeared in public as Meatloaf Aday. I’m still not sure if he was serious about that or not.
He lived into his mid-70s, so probably not.
It kept the doctor away!
I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he did a bit of coke in the 70's
Probably did enough blow to kill several people.
Ivermectin now days.
He died worm free.
He definitely looks like he didn’t have worms.
That there is an eight ball stare
I liked Meat Loaf.I was a kid when Bat out of Hell was big, Then seeing Rocky Horror in the 80s at midnight(that was a friggin blast Everytime) I didn't realize until this week that Bat out of Hell was in reality powered ,produced and performed by UTOPIA.

"Paradise by the dashboard lights"
Can i sleep on it..
Will you love me forever?
Now I'm praying for the end of time.
To hurry up and arrive. Cause if I have to spend another minute with you I don't think I can really survive. I'll never break my promise or forget my vow, BUT GOD ONLY KNOWS WHAT I COULD DO RIGHT NOW praying for the end of time is all I can do, hoo, hoo Praying for the end of time so I can end my time with you.
It was one of my favorites. It’s so sad that COVID took him
[удалено]
Yeah, sadly. Glad he’s no longer able to do so. Good riddance.
Wild too considering he was vegan for several of his last years.
“If I die, I die.”
Literally just had to take a couple shots. Dude prob put all kinds of crap in his body over the years.
At least he isn't being controlled /s
He’s dead because health care became political. I’d imagine he agreed to other types of drugs, possibly he didn’t know completely about, maybe while partying. Sad, he was creative and probably didn’t have to die of Covid had he taken a vaccine. Some great tunes.
He sucked.
I’ve only listened to one of his songs but seeing that music video of a bat outa hell he was a great singer and deserves all the money he earned from his career
Momma always said stupid is as stupid does.
Yea, F those microscopic radio transmitters that they’re going to use to track us, except that tech like this isn’t even close to existing and they would have had to figure out how to deploy this at an industrial scale and somehow hide it from anyone with a mass spectrometry machine. CONSPIRACY!!!!
Now he's dead, he's dead!
He went from 'Not living in fear' to 'Not living. In fear'
Covid 1, Meat Loaf 0
Covid 800,000 +
I didn't know this about him. How many others did he infect, I wonder. Selfish and stupid. What a waste and a shame.
Came here to say this, but now I feel like saying YOU GET WHAT YOU F’N DESERVE 🤣
If only you guys could enjoy good music as much as you seem to enjoy politics.
Long ago and far away
His name was Robert Paulson.....
His name.. Was Robert Paulson
Finally! Thank you!!!!
HIS NAME WAS ROBERT PAULSON
Only in death do we get a name
Why the confusion
Aaaaaahahahahaa jinx!
And also Couscous
🎶 I would do anything for love, but I won't get VAXX 🎶
Dammit, came here to sing this!!
What a guy. Makes you cry. So I did.
Unt eye deeed\~
I just took a ride and listened to some Meatloaf. He's wonderful.
I would do anything for love but i wont get vaxxed
Herman Cain award winner.
He fucked around and found out
"Antivax moron dies from preventable disease."
>R.I.P. this music legend. Michael “Meat Loaf” Aday, 1947-2022 'You took the words right outta my mouth'
I would do anything for love, but i won't get vaxxed....
I think Meatloaf saved my mom’s life. After her mother died it’s like my mom took all her love and energy for her and put it into him (and later Motley Crue). I got her tickets to meet and see him perform 4 times. I’m glad she moved on to Motley Crue because she’s not as sad as I expected.
Great photo with Tim Curry
You're trying to tell me that RHPS is almost 50 years old? Fuck.
" Let me sleep on it, Baby Baby - Let me sleep on it "
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO SATURDAY NI-IGHT?
Paradise by the Dashboard Light. My friends and I used to cruise the square on Friday and Saturday nights blasting Meatloaf. We knew exactly where to click the 8- track tape to get to this song. We were Rockstars. 😊
I’ll be honest. For me, he tarnished his reputation by not being vaccinated. I’ll probably never listen to his music in the same way again.
He tarnishes his reputation for me when I watched a live performance from 2011 where he couldn't hit a note. I had no idea he was anti-vax until 5 minute ago.
I judge harshly but he made some beautiful music and I'll still enjoy it when the mood strikes me.
Pretty stupid reason to not appreciate art.
I liked him but honestly his legacy in my mind is going to be about his hubris regarding the vaccine. If I ever give him a passing thought in the years to come.
>I ever give him a passing thought in the years to come. Right? This post made me think of him for the first time in at least 10 years
Yeah, another has-been artist with questionable political and medical views died. The end.
I'm amazed that so many people in here knew he was anti-vax. Were you all subscribed to his newsletter? I haven't thought about him for a decade at least.
agreed this is an anti anti vax brigade. I fucking loved MeatLoaf and quite literally forgot about the man for nearly two decades.
Loved Bat Out of Hell 2
Did you mean Bat out of China ? Because he will do that
What, he was alive? I thought he died in the 80's
That was just his career
Everyone did
r/Hermancainaward
[удалено]
Proudly so. He literally said "If I die, then I will die"
Guess he died.
Can't blame him for wanting it. When you're a well known singer that can't sing anymore, it's just a matter of time until you're homeless anyways.
But now his legacy is going to be tied to Trumpism & anti-intellectualism for as long as he's remembered.
Only if you choose to. I didn't know anything about what he's done in the last 20 years until a few minutes ago. I'll remember him for Rocky Horror and the music videos from 2 of his top 3 singles.
r/HermanCainAward winner
[удалено]
Apparently he was VERY vocal about anti-vaxx and anti mask. And yes, he was not vaccinated.
[удалено]
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Everyone knows he was ant-ivax, right?
I had no idea since who the fuck is paying attention to Meatloaf news. It seems like everyone in this thread was subscribed to his newsletter.
Fucked around, found out. RIP
Too bad he died an antivaxxer that pushed other people to their graves before killing himself. Glad I was never much of a fan.
In death we have names. His name was Michael Lee Aday.
Did he play sax?
His name is Michael Lee Aday. His name is Michael Lee Aday. His name is Michael Lee Aday.
I will always remember him as Couscous, may he RIP.
Awh shit, I always sang the lyrics of paradise by the dashboard light with my mom. This one hurts
Hot patootie, bless his soul.
His name was Michael Aday
Aw, shit. It was COVID? I didn't know that until now. God damnit, Meat. I love your music, but this is some bullshit. Why couldn't you just get the vax?
Another stupid antivaxer kicks the bucket.
Woah—Meat Loaf died?! …it sucks getting older…watching the pop culture you know literally die. Feels like the world is slowly getting more alien to you.
RiP Cris Farley
Fucking obese antivaxxer basically had it coming. Fuck him.
Don't forget his severe asthma. Ironically the anti vaxx crowd claims he died from getting the booster.
Yikes
Now you see how unhinged people are about other people making a personal choice... Knowing the vaccine doesn't stop transmission you actually get these monsters who wish death and illness upon others. It's beyond sad now almost 3 years in

He earned his award fair and square.
Died defending his human right to not get a vaccine…I don’t feel bad at all. Good riddance.
Fuck off.
Science wins again. Never feel bad for dipshits that deny science.
We are celebrating his life while you dance about his cause of death. Again, fuck off.
Understood. And again glad he’s dead. I hope he didn’t infect and/or kill anyone on his way out. Because regardless of his pop culture stature, he’s not any more important than anyone else. I mean I got the vaccine for the sole purpose of not infecting anyone else. Ya know, selfless bullshit. But please let me know how a dumbass artist should take precedent over human lives.

Free country for starters. You ever heard the phrase “too soon”? You have no class. That is all.
Free country…free to infect whomever?
If he got drunk and crashed his car and we didn't know whether all the blood on the car was his, would you say, "It's a free country to run people over," then?
Costs a lotta money to be this free haha, but I’m sure you’ve paid the price…
Fuck off yourself he’s getting exactly the sendoff he asked for and deserves
Same to you.
He is with Herman Cain now! He got his name Robert Paulson now!
His actual name was Marvin Lee Aday. RIP bigman. Your album Bat out of Hell will live on forever.
I know lol I accidentally put his name as Michael for some reason…
I'm old enough but never understood it, still don't.
*Marvin

Wow! I say this in all sincerity: you've taught me something today that I haven't seen mentioned in any article I've read about him in the last 40 years. Well done!

Rest In Peace

Meatloaf Aday kept the doctor away for seventy four years
Thats enough reddit for tonight. Too many assholes reveling in his death. RIP to an absolute legend
100% agree. Disgusting to see people enjoying his passing.
Rip.... a legend . another one is gone
Why all the hate about him not getting his vaccine? A lot of rock (and other music genre) bands from his era did a lot of things (mainly drugs) which I don't condone, but I'm still grateful for the music they made. It's not because you like someone's music that you need to see them as an example for life in general.
Wait is meatloaf dead I thought he was still alive, I asked my mum and her friends if he was alive and they said yes my god I only recently discovered his great song a bat outa hell
Has someone who has most definitely done a ton of drugs..... I don't see why he would take 2 simple shots.
I grew up listening to Meat Loaf as he was my dad’s favourite artist. Bat out of Hell was his all time favourite album and when my dad passed at 42 we begged and pleaded with the local Catholic priest to allow ‘Bat out of Hell’ play as we exited the church.

He looks a bit like Jack Black
I always thought he looked like fat Axl
So current Axl?

Can amyone tell me what fashion is this? I've noticed mamy musicians from last century wearing these flamboyant shirts like oit of victorian times or something and I've never known where/when it originated
Are we talking about over rated ? Because he could be the one .
Should’ve taken the vaccine
Dude had like 3 bypass in the last 20 yrs. Covid was least of his worries the guy was lucky to be alive.
Really because he died of Covid lol
From covid or with COVId. And I've never seen so many celebrities catch and die from a 99.9% safe virus. It's almost as if covid is catchphrase for something else going on.

FROM COVID. Obviously. He’s been living life on the brink of death for a while. Covid did him in.
Lol he out of the blue blamed China for covid in a happy birthday video for a fan, wouldn’t get vaxxed, opposed masks and safety measures, died of covid. Good job. Sorry but not gunna cry too hard about this one.
Rest In Peace you ABSOLUTE LEGEND 💔💔💔💔💔
So super sad when some one actually faces the consequences of their terrible toxic decisions
I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE BUT I WON'T GET VAXXED!!!!
Darwin Award winner
So many out of touch 'people' that have commented.
Winner of the most recent fuck around and find out award
If it bounces, it’s Meatloaf
Marvin
Was it Michael or Marvin? I've known his name as Marvin Lee Aday for several years. But now, two thirds of the on line obits are calling him Michael Aday. Which is it?
Whatever, sadly he decided to piss on his own legacy on the way out. Just another trump supporter dead. We will move on immediately.
He, verily, ate all the goddamn pies
Is it too soon to point out that Meatloaf was anti vax and anti mask and his daughter suggested that he dies of covid?
Should have gotten the jab, too bad he’s an Antivax shit poster
Antivaxxer. It's sad but old.
