Before “Bat Out Of Hell” was released in 1977, Meat Loaf played Eddie the ex-delivery boy in “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.”
The rock-and-roll gig was more successful. “Bat Out of Hell” sold 40 million copies. And it lasted longer, too: Meatloaf is still recording and touring, currently promoting his new album, “Hang Cool Teddy Bear.”
