| Ordered! Thanks for the heads up. Hoping for an updated autobiography from Meat before it's all said and done. Would love one from Jim, as well, but seems he plays his life pretty close to the chest. > 'Like A Bat Out Of Hell: The Larger Than Life Story Of > Meat Loaf" by Mick Wall > > Ordered this last week. | |

I wish it would tell both of their stories: what they both did during their time apart in the 80s, and after Bat 2 in the 90s. I was totally surprised to see this book was out. Hadn't heard any info beforehand about this book... | |

> Any thoughts on the book? I got it yesterday and browsed a little. I'm going to read it after Christmas. It's my X-mas present for myself. :) It's 303 pages, 8 pages of pictures: photo of Jim & Meat 1981 ("The monster and his creator"), Bonnie ("In order to write Total Eclipse I had to envision a situation where Joan Sutherland is on a stage backed up by the Who and Phil Spector's group - and then I could go ahead") Who's Joan Sutherland?? The last chapter is entitled "Jim Steinman's dream" and the last photo is from the new Bat musical, so it's really up-to-date. Another chapter is entitled "Erections of the heart". :) Opened the book randomly, read a few lines from the page and laughed at Jim's quote circa 1981. About that period of creativity. "I was creatively constipated; not to imply this is the stuff you'd be constipated with" he said. "Constipated with gold..." Looking forward to reading the book soon. | |

| I remember being captivated by Mick Wall's take on early Black Sabbath and up to 1998 Iron Maiden so I shall read his take on Meat Loaf with interest, thanks for flagging it up. > 'Like A Bat Out Of Hell: The Larger Than Life Story Of > Meat Loaf" by Mick Wall > > Ordered this last week. | |

| I've read about half of it. I don't know who edited it but there are many repeated quotes/stories. Also I noticed some possible errors. According to the book Rhinegold was never produced but the DC version of Dream Engine was whereas the reverse is true. > 'Like A Bat Out Of Hell: The Larger Than Life Story Of > Meat Loaf" by Mick Wall > > Ordered this last week. | |

| Plus there doesn't seem to be anything that isn't already in Meat's autobiography or available interviews beyond the author's hokey editorializations. > I've read about half of it.
