Meat
Loaf, nome artístico de Michael Lee Aday (Dallas, 27 de setembro de
1947 – 20 de janeiro de 2022), foi um músico, cantor, produtor e ator
norte-americano. Ficou conhecido pelo seu álbum Bat Out of Hell e por
muitas canções que fizeram parte de bandas sonoras de filmes.
Seu nome artístico, em tradução livre ao português, significa "bolo de carne", mais especificamente rolo-de-carne, um prato muito comum nos EUA, feito com carne picada, queijo, tomate, cebola e especiarias".

Vida.
Marvin Lee Aday nasceu em Dallas, Texas,filho único de Wilma Artie, uma professora e cantora de música gospel e Orvis Wesley Aday, um oficial de polícia e veterano da II Guerra Mundial, com problemas de alcoolismo. Aday e sua mãe dirigiam em volta dos bares de Dallas, a procura de Orvis para levá-lo para casa. Como consequência, Aday passou a ficar frequentemente com sua avó Charlsee Norrod.
Segundo o cantor foi o seu próprio pai que lhe pôs a alcunha de meat, devido a ter nascido com cor vermelha e a ter mantido mais tempo que o normal. A alcunha completa foi dada pelo seu treinador, quando ele estava em cima do treinador e este lhe disse:-Sai daqui seu "meat loaf"!
Em 1958 é diagnosticado à sua mãe cancro do pulmão. Em 1968, vai estudar para o colégio "Norte de Texas", morre a sua mãe, e após um convivência turbulenta com seu pai, ele decide afastar-se após uma tentativa do pai de assassiná-lo.

Trabalhou nas peças musicais "Rainbow in New York" e "More Than You Deserve", esta última escrita por Jim Steinman.
Participou na versão cinematográfica da peça musical The Rocky Horror Show, interpretando o papel de Eddie.
Na série humorística South Park participou do episódio Chef Aid como ele mesmo em 1998.
Em 1999 participou do filme Crazy in Alabama (Loucos do Alabama) no papel do xerife John Doggett.
Fez o papel de Robert Paulsen no filme Clube da Luta em 1999.
Em 2006 atuou como o pai de J.B no filme Tenacious D in: The Pick of Destiny.
Também participou de um episódio da série House, M.D,encarnando o personagem Eddie, na 5ª temporada da série.
Na séria Glee interpretou o personagem Barry Jeffries no 15º episódio da 2ª temporada, intitulado The Rocky Horror Glee Show.
Músico.
Inicia a sua carreira musical aos 20 anos, em Los Angeles, com a banda "Meat Loaf Soul".
Após trabalhar um tempo como mecânico, é contratado para a ópera rock Hair, de estilo hippy, com a qual faz uma digressão pelos EUA.
Gravou um disco em Detroit, com uma cantora chamada Stoney, sendo os primeiros cantores brancos a gravar na Motown. Tiveram um êxito relativo.
Em 1971 decide associar-se ao compositor e pianista Jim Steinman. Dois anos mais tarde decidem ir a Los Angeles para apresentar o seu disco, mas este é recusado em todas as discográficas. Decidem financiar o disco pelos seus próprios meios.
Em 1976, num concerto em Woodstock (Nova Iorque), conhece a sua mulher, Leslie Edmond, que trabalhava como manager de Bob Dylan e Janis Joplin.
Após gravarem o disco Bat out of Hell, continuam sem conseguir apoio de nenhuma discográfica. Todd Rundgren, integrante do grupo Utopia, produz o disco.
Em 1977, a sua mulher fica grávida da sua filha Amanda.
Meat Loaf e Jim Steinman decidem fazer uma pausa, mas a discográfica não aceitou, porque queria lançar um segundo disco (Bad for Good). Segundo parece, Meat Loaf estava com uma infecção nas cordas vocais, e isto fê-lo abandonar o projeto, tendo o disco saído como um trabalho a solo de Steinman.
Em 1981 encontrava-se em graves dificuldades financeiras, e o seu trabalho como ator, assim como o seu disco Dead Ringer não tiveram o êxito esperado. O disco de Jim Steinman e o do próprio Meat Loaf competiam nas vendas e nas campanhas de marketing.
Em 1983 triunfa numa digressão pela Europa, mas os seus problemas financeiros agravam-se devido a petições judiciais, ficando na ruína. Apesar disso, consegue gravar Midnight At The Lost And Found, que passa sem pena nem glória, com o tema chamado Wolf At Your Door, que faz referência aos seus múltiplos problemas econômicos.
Em 1984 muda para a Arista Records - que anteriormente havia recusado Bat Out Of Hell - para gravar Bad Attitude e Blind Before I Stop.
Consegue alcançar pouco êxito à custa de digressões constantes, até que em 1989 volta a associar-se a Steinman, editando Bat Out Of Hell II, que é lançado no mercado 1993, sendo número um em vendas em todo o mundo. O single I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) alcança os primeiros lugares nos tops e o videoclip dirigido por Michael Bay é emitido em todo o mundo.
Consegue reconhecimento internacional, sendo galardoado com um Grammy. Após o rotundo êxito do segundo volume de Bat Out Of Hell, lança-se num novo projeto, que sairia em 1995 (Welcome To The Neighbourhood), mas não consegue alcançar o êxito esperado, retomando a faceta de ator, sem deixar de dar concertos. Duarante este período pôde-se vê-lo em "Loucos em Alabama" (com Antonio Banderas) ou em "O Clube da Luta" (de David Fincher).
Em 2003, lança um novo disco intitulado Couldn't Have Said It Better (Myself), que conclui com uma versão do clássico de Bob Dylan Forever Young.
Em 2006, volta a unir-se a Jim Steinman para criar a terceira parte da "saga". O disco saiu a 23 de Outubro desse ano, com o nome Bat Out of Hell III: The Monster is Loose.
Em 2011, sua musica Alive compôs a trilha sonora do Filme Furia
sobre rodas (Drive Angry) com Nicolas Cage no papel principal. Texto: Wikipédia.
