I like to think of BAT OUT OF HELL as the ultimate requium.It's a song about life after death.this guy's speeding down the highway he,crashes,paints the ground with his blood and has his heart smash through his ribcage to lie beating on the ground.But that's ok because we hear the angels at the end singing him to paradise.The greatest triumph.
Jim however says (on the classic albums video) that he wrote BAT OUT OF HELL because he wanted to write the ultimate crash song in the tradition of tell Lara I love her,Leader of the pack ect.
Either way (in my opinion),BAT is the best song EVER.It's the song that got me into Meat Loaf (after hearing about 10 seconds on a t.v. advert) and iv'e been hooked ever since.
Score out of ten:Need you ask?
P.S. Two more points.
1. My favourite version is the Meat Loaf live at Wemberley (1987)

2. I can't stand it when only the first half is put on a c.d. or played on the radio.It finishes before the crash,and so defeats the whole purpose of the song.

KEEP ON ROCKIN'
