In Part 3 of the Meat Loaf story, we explore the turbulent years and meteoric comeback between Dead Ringer and Bat Out of Hell II.  As Meat Loaf’s partnership with Jim Steinman collapses once again after Dead Ringer fails to live up to expectation and Steinman is released from his recording contract. As Steinman finds new found success penning massive hits for other artists like Bonnie Tyler with Total Eclipse of the Heart and Air Supply with Making Love Out of Nothing at All.

While Steinman thrived, Meat Loaf was left to go it alone, as he struggled to write his own material while facing mounting pressures from his record label, his managers, and even Steinman himself as he would be hit with a wave of lawsuits that ultimately drove him to bankruptcy. Forced to retreat from the lime light, Meat turned his focus to his family by coaching his daughters Little League team before reuniting with Steinman for an incredible comeback that no one saw coming. As Meat earned himself a Grammy with I’d Do Anything for Love (But I Won’t Do That), cementing his place in rock history as an all time great as Meat finds himself in a great place towards the mid 90's and gears up for the final act of his remarkable journey, set to be explored in the final part of the Meat Loaf story.

Enjoy!
