MEAT LOAF...Haria cualquier cosa por amor (pero no lo haré)

Meat Loaf es el sobrenombre de Marvin Lee Aday. Nació en Dallas (Texas) el 27 de septiembre de 1947. Según él mismo refirió en alguna ocasión, fue su propio padre quien le puso el apodo de meat loaf (pedazo de carne) por su obesidad, desde muy pequeño. Comienza su carrera musical con 20 años, en Los Ángeles, con la banda "Meat Loaf Soul", siendo teloneros de The Who, The Stooges y Ted Nugent. Tras trabajar un tiempo como aparcacoches en el Beacon Theather, es contratado en la ópera-rock Hair, de estilo hippy, con la que se va de gira por EE.UU. Grabó un disco en Detroit, con una cantante llamada Stoney (compañera de reparto en Hair), siendo los primeros blancos que graban para la Motown. Trabajó en las obras musicales "Rainbow in New York" y "More Than You Deserve", esta última escrita por Jim Steinman. Participó en la versión cinematrográfica de la obra musical The Rocky Horror Show. En 1971 decide asociarse con el compositor y pianista Jim Steinman. Dos años después deciden ir a Los Ángeles para presentar su disco, pero es rechazado en todas las discográficas. Deciden financiar el disco por sus propios medios.

En 1976, en un concierto en Woodstock (Nueva York), conoce a su mujer, Leslie Edmond, que trabajaba para el manager de Bod Dylan y Janis Joplin. Tras grabar ellos mismos el disco "Bat out of Hell", siguen sin conseguir apoyo de ninguna discográfica, pero si el de Todd Rundgren quien avala el proyecto. En 1977, tras aceptarlo EPIC, comienza a comercializarse con éxito en Cleveland y en algunos países de Europa. Inician a lo largo de 1987 una gira para darse a conocer por EE.UU., con gran éxito: Boston (Massachusets), Phoenix (Arizona), Arlington (Virginia), Minneapolis (Minnesota).En 1984 cambia de compañía y se va a Arista Records -que previamente había rechazado el Bat Out Of Hell- para grabar "Bad Attitude" y "Blind Before I Stop". Apenas consigue mantener cierto éxito a costa de mantener una gira constante de conciertos, hasta que en 1989 vuelve a asociarse a Steinman, editando "Bat Out Of Hell II", que sale al mercado en 1993, siendo número uno en ventas en todo el mundo. El single I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) se convierte en todo un número 1 y pese a su extensión es radiado y el vídeo clip dirigido por Michael Bay es emitido en todo el mundo.

Consigue -de nuevo- el reconocimiento internacional siendo galadornado con un Grammy. Tras el rotundo éxito de la segunda parte del Bat y su correspondiente gira mundial se embarca en un nuevo disco, que saldría en 1995 "Welcome To The Neighbourhood", pero no cosecha el éxito esperado y se vuelca en faceta de actor, sin dejar de dar conciertos y hacer giras aunque sin discos. En este periodo de tiempo se le puede ver en "En El Club de la Pelea" interpretando a un enfermo de cancer con tetas ...En 2003 saca un nuevo disco titulado "Couldn't Have Said It Better (Myself)" que concluye con una versión del clásico de Bod Dylan "Forever Young" como despedida de todos sus fans. En 2006 se vuelve unir a Jim Steinman para crear la tercera parte de la saga. Esta no va a estar completamente escrita por Jim Steinman lo que creó polémica. El disco saldrá a la luz el 31 de octubre de 2006 bajo el nombre de Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose.Su faceta con actor se salda con multitud de pequeños papeles. Siendo el más representativo en el clásico The Rocky Horror Picture Show -ya intervenío en la versión treatal.

Los dejo en compania de esta maravillosa opera-rock romantica en la cual Meat Loaf haciendo uso de una maravillosa creatividad musical nos cautiva con una de las mejores baladas rock de la historia de la musica...








I Would Do Everything For Love (But I Won't Do That)

And I would do anything for love, I'd run right into hell and back
I would do anything for love, I'll never lie to you and that's a fact
But I'll never forget the way you feel right now, Oh no, no way
And I would do anything for love, but I won't do that, I won't do that Anything for love,
oh I would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but I won't do that,
Oh I won't do that Some days it don't come easy, And some days it don't come hard
Some days it don't come at all, And these are the days that never end
Some nights you're breathing fire, And some nights you're carved in ice
Some nights you're like nothing I've ever seen before or will again
Maybe I'm crazy, but it's crazy and it's true I know you can save me,
No one else can save me now but you As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning As long as your dreams are coming true,
You better believe it That I would do anything for love,
And I'll be there til the final act I would do anything for love,
And I'll take a vow and seal a pact But I'll never forgive myself If we don't go all the way tonight And I would do anything for love, Oh I would do anything for love
Oh I would do anything for love, But I won't do that, no
I won't do that I would do anything for love, Anything you've been dreaming of
But I just won't do that .. Some days I pray for silence, And somedays I pray for soul
Some days I just pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'N Roll
Some nights I lose the feeling, And some nights I lose control Some nights
I just lose it all When I watch you dance and the thunder rolls
Maybe I'm lonely And that's all I'm qualified to be There's just one and only,
The one and only promise I can keep As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning As long as your prayers are coming true,
You better believe it That I would do anything for love,
And you know it's true and that's a fact I would do anything for love,
And there'll never be no turning back But I'll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long, so long And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love I would do anything for love,
But I won't do that, No no no I won't do that I would do anything for love,
Anything you've been dreaming of But I just won't do that
But I'll never stop dreaming of you Every night of my life, no way
And I would do anything for love, Oh I would do anything for love
I would do anything for love, But I won't do that, no I won't do that Will you raise me up,
will you help me down? Will you get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold? I can do that! I can do that! Will you hold me sacred?
Will you hold me tight? Can you colorize my life, I'm so sick of black and white?
Can you make it all a little less old? I can do that! Oh oh, now I can do that!
Will you make me some magic, with your own two hands?
Can you build an emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home? I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!
Will you cater to every fantasy I got? Will ya hose me down with holy water, if I get too hot?
Will you take me places I've never known? I can do that! Oh oh now, I can do that!
After a while you'll forget everything It was a brief interlude and a midsummer night's fling
And you'll see that it's time to move on I won't do that! No I won't do that! I know the territory, I've been around It'll all turn to dust and we'll all fall down And sooner or later,
you'll be screwing around I won't do that! No I won't do that! Anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love I would do anything for love, but I won't do that,
No I won't do that
