He is on the list of best-selling music artists. His Bat Out of Hell trilogy — Bat Out of Hell (1977), Bat Out of Hell II: Back into Hell (1993), and Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose (2006) — has sold more than 100 million records worldwide.

The key to this success was his popularity in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland. He received the 1994 Brit Award in the United Kingdom for best-selling album and single. He appeared in the 1997 film Spice World and he ranked 23rd for the number of weeks spent on the UK charts in 2006. He ranks 96th on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock". Meat Loaf appeared in over 50 films and television shows, sometimes as himself or as characters resembling his stage persona. His film roles include Eddie in The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975) and Robert Paulsen in Fight Club (1999). His early stage work included dual roles in the original Broadway cast of The Rocky Horror Show. He also appeared in the musical Hair, both on and Off-Broadway.

RIP Meatloaf what a legend ❤️🔥
@thatgazelle2001
I always get a tense feeling in my chest when I hear this song. It feels like you're preparing for the final boss in a video game or the last fight against the antagonist in a show or movie. Amazing talent is always put into the bat out of hell albums and you got to appreciate it
@michaelberretta5447
The best of all time. Meat loaf is the greatest. No one will ever put out music like he has.
@greyflier6923
Great instrumental. Jim Steinman can really write them and Meat Loaf can really play and sing them.
@doktorfellatio438
Loved this song as a kid cuz it sounds like something out of an old Sonic the hedgehog game, more specifically Sonic spinball. Rip meatloaf.
@benamisai-kham5892
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks of sonic spinball when listening to this! It has the same kinda synth chords haha
@ilkinaliyev5823
Is it weird that the "Bat Outta Hell" trilogy makes me think of the "Unforgiven" trilogy?
Great instrumental. Jim Steinman can really write them and Meat Loaf can really play and sing them.
@louieengelbrecht1519
Just great music performed by artists who know what i like.Thank you.

When I was in high school, at the end of every music class, the teacher would play a song/music brought in by a student. I remember that one time I brought this in (the year being 2001, so way past being 'cool') and due to fear of being ridiculed, snuck it to my teacher and asked if he could do the same when returning it. He did. I always remember that for some reason.....

According to the liner notes, this track was composed by Jim Steinman and all instruments were programmed and performed by Jeff Bova. It's a Meat Loaf song without Meat Loaf.
