Meat Loaf, the man responsible for the Bat Out Of Hell trilogy and classic songs like "I'd Do Anything for Love," passed away at 74 years old on January 20 from an undisclosed ailment. Now the rock and metal world, including members of Kiss and Guns N' Roses, is paying tribute to the vocalist. One notable tribute is from Tenacious D, who posted Meat Loaf's performance in their 2006 movie Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny as J.B.'s dad Bud Black.

We wish Meat Loaf's family and friends all the best at this time.

Meat Loaf was one of the greatest voices in Rock N Roll, and he was certainly one of my closest friends in the business. He was really so much fun, truly fun to be around. He just felt like a best friend to everyone no matter how long it had been since you last saw him.— Alice Cooper (@alicecooper) January 21, 2022

Meatloaf Has Passed Away. So sad. He was one of a kind. Who could you compare him to?? No one. That’s how you define greatness. My condolences to his entire family. https://t.co/sjGd3UnI9M— Paul Stanley (@PaulStanleyLive) January 21, 2022

A complete original. Meatloaf was the exact opposite of what “success” in Rock & Roll was SUPPOSED to look like.The Anti-Plant. He WORKED being a Mystery Date “Dud” into the “100 Million Sold” that’s the ONLY reason he’s relevant to the Fancy Folk pretending to love him now.

True story: Meatloaf summoned me to his trailer to "pass the torch" of rock n roll to this then young gun. It was pretty intense and confrontational to tell the truth…but what an honor to get the blessing of such a great man! https://t.co/gjiqxt6d6f— Dee Snider?? (@deesnider) January 22, 2022
