5.1 - Tear Me Down | Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer Than They Are

Five alive! But not the delicious soft drink of the 1980s. We're back for the first proper episode of series five with an exploration of Meat Loaf's sad origins. And really, they are sad. Poor bloke. But we still managed to find some fun in there, as we also get answers to the big questions. Questions like:- Is there anything Michael Bay can't wedge an explosion into?- Is there any song Jim Steinman can't wedge a vampire into?- Is there any conversation Meat Loaf can't wedge a massive lie into?PLUS we chat about early 2000s electro dance duo Moloko, learn what novelty pop hit will be torturing Emma this series and make a long-overdue correction to our Meat Loaf song rating system.Keep your comments, reviews and arguments flying in to [email protected], find us on Facebook or Instagram by searching Chat out of Hell and don't forget to use the hashtag #DearA1saucewedontneedyoursaucenowwevegotourownChat out of Hell is a is a review podcast: all music extracts are used for review/illustrative purposes.
