Bat out of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose is an album by Meat Loaf; the third and last in the Bat out of Hell series. It was released in October 2006, nearly thirty years after the first album (1977), and thirteen after Bat out of Hell II: Back into Hell (1993).Produced by Desmond Child, it is the only Bat album in which Jim Steinman was not involved in its production. The album was the subject to a legal dispute between Meat Loaf and Steinman, who had registered the phrase "Bat out of Hell" as a trademark and attempted to prevent the album using the phrase. In the end, seven songs that Steinman wrote for various other projects were included.As with its predecessors, the album received mixed reviews. A tour, named "Seize the Night," followed the release, concentrating upon songs from the Bat albums.

Universal appears to have gotten over it's beef with YouTube. The label is uploading videos like Judgment Day done be tomorrow. Meat Loaf is one of those singers I wouldn't want to hear all the time because he'd wear a bit thin - but it's nice to be reminded about that rocking voice.
