Kehidupan awal
Marvin Lee Aday was born in Dallas, Texas, the only child of Wilma Artie (Hackel), a school teacher and member of the gospel quartet Vo-di-o-do Girls, and Orvis Wesley Aday, a police officer. His father is an alcoholic who will continue to drink bing for days at a time. Aday and his mother would drive around to all the bars in Dallas, looking for Orvis to take him home. As a result, Aday often lives with his grandmother, Charlsee Norrod.
Meat Loaf tells a story in his autobiography, To Hell and Back, about how he, a friend, and his friend's father went to Love Field on November 22, 1963 to watch John F. Kennedy land. After seeing him leave the airport, they went to Market Hall, which was on the route of the Kennedy parade. On the way, they heard that Kennedy had been shot, so they headed to Parkland Hospital, where they saw Jackie Kennedy get out of the car and Governor John Connally pulled out, even though they did not see the president being released.
In 1965, Aday graduated from Thomas Jefferson High School, having started his acting career through school production such as Where is Charley? and The Music Man . After attending lectures at Lubbock Christian College, he moved to North Texas State University (now University of North Texas). After she received her inheritance from her mother's death, she rented an apartment in Dallas and isolated herself for three and a half months. Finally, a friend found her. Not long after, Aday went to the airport and caught the next flight leaving. The plane took him to Los Angeles.

Music career
In Los Angeles, Aday formed his first band, "Meat Loaf Soul", after a nickname created by a football coach because of his weight. During the recording of their first song, he hit a very high tone so he managed to blow up a fuse on the record monitor. He immediately offered three recording contracts, which he refused. The first talent of Meat Loaf Soul was in Huntington Beach at the Cave, opening for the band Van Morrison, Them. While covering the Howlin 'Wolf "Smokestack Lightning song, the smoke machines they use make too much smoke and the clubs have to be cleaned up. Later, the band was the opening act at Cal State Northridge for the Renaissance, Taj Mahal and Janis Joplin. The band then undergoes some major guitar changes, changing the band's name each time. New names include Popcorn Blizzard and Floating Circus. As a Floating Circus, they open to Who, the Fugs, the Stooges, MC5, the Grateful Dead and the Grease Band. Their regional success made them release the single, "Once Upon a Time", powered by "Hello". Then Meat Loaf joins the production of Los Angeles Hair . During an interview with New Zealand radio station, ZM, Meat Loaf stated that the biggest life struggle he had to overcome was not taken seriously in the music industry. He compared his treatment with "circus clowns".
Stoney & amp; Meat Loaf
With the publicity generated from Hair , Meat Loaf was invited to record with Motown. They suggested he do a duet with Shaun "Stoney" Murphy, who has appeared with him in Hair , which he approves. Motown production team in charge of writing albums and selecting songs while Meat Loaf and Stoney came just to put their vocals. Her album, titled Stoney & amp; Meatloaf (sic, Meatloaf as one word), finished in the summer of 1971 and released in September of that year. A single released before the album, "What You See Is What You Get", reached number thirty six on the Best Selling Soul Singles chart (the same graph is now titled Hot R & B/Hip-Hop Songs) and seventy - one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. To support their album, Meat Loaf and Stoney toured with Jake Wade and Soul Searchers, opening for Richie Havens, Who, the Stooges, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper and Rare Earth. Meat Loaf soon left after Motown replaced his vocals and Stoney from a song he liked, "Who's the Leader of the People?" with new vocals by Edwin Starr. The album has been re-released after the successful Meat Loaf, with Stoney's vocals removed. Meat Loaf Version of "Who's the Leader of the People?" released, but the album failed.
More than you Deserve
After the tour, Meat Loaf rejoined the Hair players, this time on Broadway. After he hired an agent, he auditioned for the Public Theater production More Than You Worth . During the Meat Loaf audition meet his future collaborator Jim Steinman. He sings the former favorite of Stoney and Meatloaf, "(I Will Be) as Great as Jesus," and then gets the Rabbit, a maniac who blows his soldiers so they can "go home." Ron Silver and Fred Gwynne are also on the show. Once closed, she appeared on As You Like It with RaÃÆ'ºl JuliÃÆ'¡ and Mary Beth Hurt.
He recorded one song "More Than You Eligible", with cover "Presence of God" as the B-side. He can only keep three copies, because the record company does not allow his release. With three copies he released many CDs featuring two songs. He recorded it again (1981) in a slightly rough voice. The original single came out on RSO SO-407 with multiple promotional copies containing both songs, while some double-A copies with "More Than You Worth" in mono and stereo on them.
The Rocky Horror Picture Show
During the winter of 1973, after returning from a short production of Rainbow in New York in Washington, DC, Meat Loaf was cast at The Rocky Horror Show, playing parts of Eddie and Dr.. Everett Scott. The success of the music led to the filming of The Rocky Horror Picture Show where Meat Loaf only played Eddie, a decision he said made the films not as good as musical. At the same time, Meat Loaf and Steinman start work on Bat Battery of Hell. Meat Loaf convinces Epic Records to record video for four songs, "Bat Out of Hell", "Paradise by the Dashboard Light", "You Take Words from My Mouth", and "Two of the Three People Not Bad". He then convinced Lou Adler, producer of Rocky Horror, to run the "Paradise" video as a movie trailer. The last Meat Loaf event in New York is Gower Champion's Rockabye Hamlet, a Hamlet musical. It's closed two weeks to early run. Meat Loaf then returns occasionally to "Hot Patootie - Bless My Soul" for a special Rocky Horror reunion or convention, and rarely on his own live show (one of the performances released in 1996 Live Around the World CD Collection).
During the soundtrack recording for Rocky Horror, Meat Loaf recorded two more songs: Stand by Me and Clap Your Hands. They remained unreleased until 1984, when they appeared as B-sides to the single "Nowhere Fast".
In 1976, Meat Loaf recorded lead vocals for the Ted Nugent album Free-for-All when Nugent's regular vocalist Derek St. Holmes temporarily quit the band. Meat Loaf sings leads on five of the nine album tracks. As in the album "Stoney & amplo Meatloaf", he is credited as Meatloaf (one word) in the notes "Free-for-All".
Bat Out of Hell
Meat Loaf and Steinman started Baty Out of Hell in 1972, but not so seriously until late 1974. Meat Loaf decided to leave the theater, and concentrated exclusively on music. Then the Lampoon National show Lemmings opened on Broadway and needed a replacement for John Belushi, a close friend of Meat Loaf since 1972. It was at the Lampoon show that Meat Loaf meets Ellen Foley, co- star singing "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" and "Bat Out of Hell" with her on the Bat Out of Hell album.
After the show Lampoon ended, Meat Loaf and Steinman spent time looking for a record deal. Their approach is rejected by every record company, because their songs do not fit the style of the recognized music industry. Finally, they performed songs for Todd Rundgren, who decided to produce the album, as well as play the main guitar on it (another member of the Rundgren band, Utopia, also lent their musical talent). They then shopped recording around, but still did not have any takers until Cleveland International Records decided to take a chance. In October 1977, Batel of Hell was finally released.
Meat Loaf and Steinman formed The Neverland Express band for touring in support of Bat Out of Hell. Their first show opened for Cheap Trick in Chicago. She got national exposure as a music guest on Saturday Night Live on March 25, 1978. Host guest Christopher Lee introduced it by saying, "And now women and men, I want you to meet Loaf. (Pause, Visible amazed, what? (He listens to his director) Oh! Why... why I'm sorry, yes, of course... ah... Sir and lady, Meat Loaf! "
Bat Out of Hell has sold around 43 million copies globally (15 million of them in the United States), making it one of the best-selling albums of all time. In the UK alone, his 2.1 million sales put him in 38th place. Although it peaked at No. 9 and only spent two weeks in the top ten in 1981, has now recorded 485 weeks in the UK Albums Charts (May 2015), a number fixed only by Fleetwood Mac's 487 week-old Retword. In Australia, it beat Bee Gees from number 1 and became Australia's best-selling album of all time for several years. Now second on the list. Bat Out of Hell is also one of only two albums that have never been out of the Top 200 on the UK charts; this makes it the longest time on any music chart in the world, even if the published chart contains only 75 positions.
Dead Ringer
In 1976, Meat Loaf appeared in the Broadway production of rock music that was short Rockabye Hamlet .
Steinman began working on Bad for Good , the album that was supposed to be a follow up of 1977's Batel out of Hell in 1979. During that time, a combination of touring, drugs and fatigue has caused Meat Loaf to lose his voice. Without a singer, and pressed by the record company, Steinman decides that he should sing in "Bad for Good" himself, and write a new album for Meat Loaf; the result was Dead Ringer , which was released in 1981, after the release of Steinman Bad for Good .
After playing the role of Travis Redfish in the movie Roadie , the sound of singing Meat Loaf back, and he started working on his new album in 1980.

(In 1976, Meat Loaf appeared in the song "Keeper Keep Us", from the self-titled Intergalactic Band album, produced by Galfas.) The song "Dead Ringer for Love" was the top of the album, and launched Meat Loaf. to achieve greater success after reaching No. 5 in the United Kingdom and staying on the charts for a staggering 19 weeks. Cher provides the main female vocals in the song.
The comedy/documentary film was filmed to accompany the release of "Dead Ringer", written and produced by managers Meat Loaf David Sonenberg and Al Dellentash. It featured Meat Loaf playing two roles: himself, and a Meat Loaf fan, 'Marvin'. Sonenberg persuaded CBS to advance the money for filming, which was featured at the Toronto International Film Festival and won some favorable reviews.
This album reached No. 1 in the United Kingdom, and three singles were released from the album: "Dead Ringer for Love" (with Cher), "I Will Love Him for Us both", and "Read Em and Cry".
​​â € <â € << i> Midnight at Lost and Found
After a dispute with former songwriter Jim Steinman, Meat Loaf is contractually required to release a new album. Fought for time, and with, apparently, no resolution for his argument with Steinman on the horizon (eventually, Steinman sued Meat Loaf, who later sued Steinman as well), he was forced to search for songwriters wherever he could. The resulting album is Midnight on Lost and Found .
According to Meat Loaf, Steinman has given the song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" and "Making Love Out of Nothing in All" for Meat Loaf for this album. However, record company Meat Loaf refused to pay for Steinman. This is a heavy fortune for Meat Loaf, Bonnie Tyler's version of "Eclipse" and Air Supply's version of "Making Love" topping the charts together, holding No. 1. 1 and No. 2 for the period during 1983.
Meat Loaf is credited because it has been involved in writing songs on the album, including the song title, "Midnight at the Lost and Found".

Bad Attitude
In 1984, Meat Loaf went to England to record the album Bad Attitude ; released that year. It featured two songs by Steinman, both of which were recorded previously. It was a small success with some commercially successful singles, the most successful being "Modern Girl". The American release on RCA Records was in April 1985 and featured a slightly different list of songs, as well as an alternative mix for some songs. The title of this song featured a duet with lead singer Who, Roger Daltrey.
"Modern Girl" is taken from this album and most commercially successful. "Piece of the Action", "Sailor to a Siren" is B-side and "Nowhere Fast" also released singles with extended mix and "Take a Number", "Stand by Me" and "Clap Your Hands" tracks.

According to the 1998 autobiography of Meat Loaf, the album sold poorly because of its production. Meat Loaf would rather cancel the project and wait to work with more of Steinman's material. However, the album gained a cult following over the years, with the song "Execution Day" and "Standing on the Outside" as a prominent song on record. "Standing Outside" was also featured during the third season of the 1980's Miami Vice television series ; was used several times during the episode titled "Forgive Us Our Debts" (first aired December 12, 1986).
In the former Soviet Union, this is the first Meat Loaf album to be officially licensed for publication, in connection with the beginning of the Iron Curtain ruin.

Personal life
In 1984, Meat Loaf changed his first name from Marvin to Michael.
Meat Loaf is a baseball fan and supporter of the New York Yankees. He is a fantasy baseball player and participates in several leagues every season.
He is also a supporter of Northern England football team Hartlepool United and, in 2003, the BBC reported he was looking for a place to stay in a nearby area. He is currently outside Calabasas, California, near Saddle Peak and Calabasas Peak. In June 2008 he took part in a football shootout competition on behalf of two cancer charities in Newcastle upon Tyne in England. He auctioned a shot to the 100 highest bidder and then took his place between the goalposts. He also participated in a celebrity golf tournament.
Meat Loaf has stated that he has social anxiety, which is quoted as saying "I have never met many people in social situations because when I enter a social situation, I do not know what to do." She reveals that she does not "even go anywhere", and also feels she is living a "boring life", saying that she "really panics" when it comes to attending parties, and that she's "very nervous, very scared". He also said he met with fellow musicians especially in work-related situations as he worked a lot.
Family
In December 1978, he went to Woodstock to work with Steinman. In the Bearsville studio, Meat Loaf meets his future wife, Leslie G. Edmonds; they get married within a month. Leslie had a daughter, Pearl, from a previous marriage (Pearl later married Scott Ian, rhythm guitarist for thrash metal band Anthrax).
Meat Loaf and his family moved to Stamford, Connecticut, in 1979. In 1981, Leslie gave birth to Amanda Aday, then a television actress. For a moment after Amanda's birth, they lived in nearby Westport. According to Meat Loaf, Pearl, then in fifth grade, came home crying "because he had the wrong kind of jeans and I said, 'That's it.We're gone.'" The family then moved to Redding, Connecticut, "much more like a working-class blue-collar town, and it really does not make a difference what kind of jeans you wear.I love it there. "Meat Loaf trains baseball or softball kids in every Connecticut town where he lives. In 1998, Meat Loaf moved to California. Meat Loaf and Leslie divorced in 2001. He married Deborah Gillespie in 2007. At the start of the 2012 tour in Austin on June 22, Meat Loaf announced that he was a new resident (1 month) from Austin, Texas.
Meat Loaf is vegetarian for ten years.

In October 2006, his private jet had to make an emergency landing at London's Stansted Airport after his landing plane failed. In 2011, Meat Loaf fainted on stage while performing in Pittsburgh. He collapsed again while on stage in Edmonton on June 16, 2016, due to severe dehydration after canceling two other shows due to illness. The play that contains the vocal tracks recorded earlier in Edmonton continues as he lies unconscious onstage.
Politics
Meat Loaf is not officially registered in any political party. He attended the inauguration of Republican President George W. Bush in 2001. In 2008, Meat Loaf was donated to the campaigns of Republican presidential candidates Rick Santorum and John McCain, who last became party representatives in the election that year.
On October 25, 2012, Meat Loaf supported Mitt Romney for the President of the United States, citing a bad relationship with Russia as the main reason he "argued for Mitt Romney for a year". Meat Loaf explained that "I have never been on the political agenda of my life, but I think that in 2012 this is the most important election in the history of the United States." He cites "storm clouds" over the United States, and "thunderstorms in Europe, there are hail storms - and I mean hailstorms! - in the Middle East." There are storms that hit China, through Asia, everywhere. " On the same day, he did "America the Beautiful" standing beside Romney.
