Ever since I discovered Bruce, Bat out of Hell (the song) has always sounded to me like a mashup of Thunder Road and Night. Up to the bike solo, it's a rocked up version of Thunder Road, then after that until the guy crashes and burns, it's Night. The verse of Took the Words is practically a rip off of the verse of Jungleland, too.
What's wrong with a Springsteen spoof anyway, even if it WAS true (which I'd contest, outside of the similarities above)? Good music is good music.
BUT BACK ON TOPIC. I don't think I've ever heard Todd say one positive thing about Bat out of Hell (the album), or seem even the slightest bit enthusiastic about it. I don't understand how you can possibly work on an album as legendary as Bat out of Hell and not be, at the
very slightest, "Ok, that was a pretty cool thing I helped make." I find his whole attitude very bizarre, I can see why Meat might have had difficulty working with him from the way he portrays himself in interviews
