86. Blind As A Bat - Page 2

**allrevvedup** · 09 Dec 2006, 13:51

Really didn't like it the first time i heard it but it's growing on me...the intro doesn't do much for me, but again like bad for good, as the song goes on he really gets into his stride

7.5

This one hit the mark for me when I heard it live, moved it inot a different league for me. 9/10

MeatGrl1 · 10 Dec 2006, 01:43

WOW!
The lyrics are amazing and the melody is fantastic.
I am so loving this song.

10/10

Rockette · 10 Dec 2006, 02:51

Looking forward to hearing this one live. It already stands as 9/10 for me.

DazLoaf01 · 13 Dec 2006, 21:20

Does anyone have the chords for this song? I'd really like to learn it if anyone can help.

batoutofhell3 · 14 Dec 2006, 00:14

Blackkat13 · 16 Dec 2006, 02:36

Jeanie · 16 Dec 2006, 03:29

One of the stronget tracks on the album imo. I love the intro where you can faintly hear the motorbike (at least that what I think it is).

robgomm · 31 Dec 2006, 17:52

I wanted to post again because i've been listening to the album for a couple of months now, so I think I can judge the song and the album a bit better.

I just have to say that Blind As A Bat is one of the best songs Meat has ever done. One of the main reasons for this is that it's one of the heardest songs to sing he's ever done. It requires such power vocally it's amazing. So he scores big points on this. It's just such a powerful song that builds beautifully, from starting off slowly and then getting into a good pace, then having a nice interlude before the powerful finish.

To summarise, amazing song, incredibly powerful, very hard to sing.

10 out of 10

p.s. White On High should do an average score for each song based on peoples scores.

vrg · 31 Dec 2006, 22:09

This is my favorite on Bat3; glorious melody and emotion; Meat is at his peak and absolutely awesome, and even that is too mild to describe his vocals. The album version is great, but live is even better with Meat in full emotional expression - this song obviously means a lot to him.
Has to be 10/10.

Yes, but you can still make a new post...that's what people apparently would like you to do...

I like this one. It's (almost) everything a Meat Loaf song should be. Massive chorus, massive arrangement. As good as any other non-Steinman Meat Loaf song. Still not convinced it's a Bat song, though.

I'm possessed by it.

10/10

Headlong · 24 Jul 2007, 13:50

Another utterly brilliant song, 9/10

RSG · 19 Aug 2007, 19:22

The song of choice to show Meat with extra Meat

Nice work on that solo btw, that entire song from beginning to end doesn't give up!

firefly · 23 Aug 2007, 23:36

Even tho it is not a Steinman song, I have to say I like it very much!

9/10

florence75015 · 30 Aug 2009, 15:13

Powerful song and so great on stage

9/10

snider22 · 30 Aug 2009, 15:44

Great Song, probably my favorite non-Steinman Meat song. Fantastic live

10/10

glockenspiel · 30 Aug 2009, 16:57

Quality tune, with lots of light and shade in the performance. If I didn't know, I would have said that it was a Steinman number. Destined to be on golden oldies radio in about 20 years time!

**RadioMaster** · 30 Aug 2009, 17:22

I prefer the live arrangement, much rockier

Evil One · 30 Aug 2009, 19:15

Just with the words in a different order!
