Rejecting Bat out of Hell

Bat out of Hell is one of the top albums of all time according to Rolling Stone. But before going certified platinum 14 times over, before shattering chart records and before selling over 40 million copies worldwide, it was rejected. Over 40 times. Join us this week as we tell Jim Steinman and Meat Loaf’s incredible story, from being told they were “too theatre” to crack the mainstream, to selling over 200,000 copies annually, even 40 years later.Major sources for this episode can be found in the show notes on our website here.Ask us Anything:Email us: [email protected] to us on socials: @apostrophepodLeave us a voicemailWe don’t regret to inform you – you can now listen ad-free!
