"My earliest music memory was listening to Meat Loaf's 'Bat out of Hell' in my parents' station wagon. And who *didn't* jump on dorm beds singing ['Paradise By The Dashboard Light'] into a hairbrush with friends in undergrad! I played the sax in high school because of Eddie in the [Rocky Horror Picture Show]," someone offered. "Rest In Peace."

RIP Meatloaf. My mom introduced me to your music but I fell in love with you in RHPS- which I first watched WAY too young probably 😹 Eddie struck something inside of me, which was one of my first clear signs I was trans (aaaaand a future troublemaker.) pic.twitter.com/XbPWGLpKl7

"Oh Eddie," tweeted Fangoria editor Angel Melanson. "When I was a kid 'I'd Do Anything For Love' was one of the most fascinating things I'd ever seen/heard. Actually, I suppose it still is. Meatloaf makes you feel like you're starring in your very own rock opera, and that's a pretty wonderful gift to give the world."

This passing truly hits home! During difficult years growing up gay, Rocky Horror Picture Show was one of the few safe havens in a hateful world. Back then, every week we shouted the line, “Not Meatloaf again!” Today, quietly saying, Not Meatloaf.😭#RIP #RIPMeatLoaf RIP Eddie pic.twitter.com/tD6oBpzFcr

"I'm so sad to hear about Meat Loaf. Eddie has always been my favorite Rocky Horror characters and it's one of my mom's favorite movies," a Twitter user wrote. "I'm gonna be listening to Bat Out of Hell all day and I need a Fight Club rewatch soon. He was a legend and will be missed."
