Meat Loaf
born: 27-09-1947
birth place: Dallas, Texas, USA

In 1995 Meat Loaf released Welcome To The Neighbourhood which followed the success level of Bat Out of Hell II and went platinum in both the US and UK.

Meat Loaf continued to record albums throughout the 90s and most recently released Bat Out Of Hell III in 2006. A small cloud on the horizon resulted from the rocky relationship with song writing partner Jim Steinman again, after he sued Meat Loaf and his manager for using the phrase ‘Bat Out Of Hell’ for the third album’s title, citing he’d registered it in 1995 at the time of the follow-up release. Despite Steinman attempting to block the release of Bat Out of Hell III, an agreement was finally reached and according to Virgin records, the quarrel was settled amicably out of court.

Simultaneous to his continuing musical career, Meat Loaf has continued to act in parallel to the group’s album releases. The parts Meat Loaf undertakes have so far only been in relatively low-budget or unsuccessful film productions yet it’s this fact which perhaps suggests that Meat Loaf views his acting career as a basis of enjoyment rather than a serious sideline to his musical success.
