I think this has been established before, maaaany times, it's a resized Bradley Gratis. Some of my local papers use the exact same font so it is out there, just that Meat (or Meat's DESIGN PEOPLE

) make it taller for the Meat Loaf (c)(tm)(r) logo. Trust me, it's Bradley Gratis.

I can see your point about Bradley Gratis being the basis for the font used for Meat's logo, but that doesn't take away the pedantic point that there isn't strictly speaking a "Meat Loaf" font type.

Found this site on the web where you can preview the font using any text string you like ...

That font looks REALLY like the ML font

here´s what I found about it:

Bradley is an 1895 typeface credited to Joseph Warren Phinney (1848-1934). It was based on lettering by Henry William Bradley (1869-1962) for a Christmas cover of Harper's Bazaar magazine. Bradley was the basis for logotypes such as Firestone and Ketel One, and has been used more recently by Disney on theme park signage.
