About this episode
Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Meat Loaf met his soulmate Jim Steinman on stage in New York and the two set about crafting the most over-the-top theatrical rock opera of an album ever produced. The only problem? No one wanted it....until everyone did. The boys get together to discuss piano prodigies, excessively long songs, and ripping 70s guitar.Join us on Patreon to continue the conversation and access 45+ bonus shows!https://www.patreon.com/1001AlbumComplaintsJoin our Mailing List here: https://linktr.ee/1001albumcomplaintsEmail us your complaints (or questions / comments) at 1001AlbumComplaints@gmail.comListen to our episode companion playlist (compilation of the songs we referenced on this episode) here:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x2yolKSBZTAz29dwY6NEf?si=ae01d3d9c6b24f99Listen to Bat Out of Hell here:https://open.spotify.com/album/6mvI80w5r78niBmwtu7RF9?si=Cn9FBvnxTMKlVenbrFw3wgAnd, as promised - here's our listener supplied international playlists for you to follow: Italy, Belgium 1, Belgium 2, Thailand, Sweden 1, Sweden 2Intro music: When the Walls Fell by The Beverly CrushersOutro music: After the Afterlife by
