Dear rockers;

Welcome to the glamorous world of Rock'n'Roll. I'll keep it short,but just to make my intention clear,let me say that,on this page I won't give the detailed information on the artist/band which any fan can easily find out from various web pages;but instead more photos,intersting facts and recommendations will take place.

By the way,thanks for the inspiration on the name Diary Of A Mad Man to Ozzy Osbourne, our possible future guest on this corner.

Here comes our first guest:Meat Loaf!

Please feel free to send your comments and ideas.

Keep on rocking!

"Rock'n'Roll Dreams Come Through...."

I bet you didn't know that.... The real name of Meat Loaf is Marvin Lee Aday. According to Meat,he took his nickname when his father called him "Meat" at the age of 2. Later, in his high-school years,his schoolmates called him "Meat Loaf" as he has the same intials M.L. in his real name. His father was an alcoholic and once tried to kill Meat with a knife! He has a disorder called "Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome" and he underwent surgical operations because of this. Meat Loaf plays poker regularly. Once,he made $11.000 in one single night! Also,he participated in the World Poker Tour. He describes himself as "bad song writer" and he doesn't like the songs he has written (e.g. Midnight At The Lost And Found). Well,you know this.He starred in about 40 movies including Rocky Horror Picture Show, Wayne's World and Fight Club.

Bat Out Of Hell (1977) The sirens are screaming and the fires are howling Way down in the valley tonight There's a man in the shadows with a gun in his eye And a blade shining oh so bright There's evil in the air and there's thunder in the sky And a killer's on the bloodshot streets And down in the tunnel where the deadly are rising Oh I swear I saw a young boy Down in the gutter He was starting to foam in the heat Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world That's pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go There's always gonna be some light But I gotta get out I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn So we gotta make the most of our one night together When it's over you know We'll both be so alone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done And the sun goes down And the moonlight's shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I'll come crawling on back to you. I'm gonna hit the highway like a battering ram On a silver black phantom bike When the metal is hot and the engine is hungry And we're all about to see the light Nothing ever grows in this rotting old hole Everything is stunted and lost And nothing really rocks And nothing really rolls And nothing's ever worth the cost And I know that I'm damned if I never got out And maybe I'm damned if I do But with every other beat I got left in my heart You know I'd rather be damned with you If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night with you If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned If I gotta be damned you know I wanna be damned Dancing through the night Dancing through the night Dancing through the night with you Oh baby you're the only thing in this whole world that's pure and good and right And wherever you are and wherever you go There's always gonna be some light But I gotta get out I gotta break it out now Before the final crack of dawn So we gotta make the most of our one night together When it's over you know We'll both be so alone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes When the night is over Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone, gone, gone Like a bat out of hell I'll be gone when the morning comes But when the day is done And the sun goes down And the moonlight's shining through Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I'll come crawling on back to you. Then like a sinner before the gates of heaven I'll come crawling on back to you. I can see myself tearing up the road Faster than any other boy has ever gone And my skin is raw but my soul is ripe No one's gonna stop me now I gotta make my escape But I can't stop thinking of you And I never see the sudden curve till it's way too late I never see the sudden curve till it's way too late Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart Still beating Breaking out of my body And flying away Like a bat out of hell Then I'm dying at the bottom of a pit in the blazing sun Torn and twisted at the foot of a burning bike And I think somebody somewhere must be tolling a bell And the last thing I see is my heart Still beating, still beating Breaking out of my body and flying away Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell Like a bat out of hell
