Picture of 'The Original Bat'

little_dancer · 14 Oct 2003, 23:24

Hi all!
Hopefully this isn't off-topic since it relates to Meat Loaf, however distantly- my apologies if it is.

I am looking for a Clear, Large, picture of the bat off the cover of Bat Out Of Hell (the original).
Does anybody know where such an image might be found?
cheers!

I have the original vinyl in its sleeve I could try scanning it for you if thats any help

little_dancer · 15 Oct 2003, 18:22

Hi Original Sin-
I do have the original as well. My copy, however, is somewhat faded which is why I can't use it for a clear picture. If you do have a moment to try scanning it- I would really appreciate it- shall I PM you with my email addy? I think my email is working through this site, actually, if you want to try to email me directly from here??
Thanks guys!

If you search the web with google for "CD covers", it should give you tons of sites with just that -- CD covers. I'd be strangely surprised if I couldn't come across one Bat image from one of those sites in 5 minutes.

Thanks Evil!!!
I got it- cheers!
Thanks for your help everybody!!!

That's Okay Sinecure, Tattoos aren't for everybody.

cheers!

I've been thinking about a Meat tattoo too. Possible starting wiht the Bat, then building up the rest of the album cover.

But seeing as I'm on the Meat 'n' Greet at Wembley, I could get him to sign my arm and have his autograph tattoed into my arm!

The lengths people go to. . .I know someone with This Charming Man tatooed around his wrist. After the Smiths song. I think it's crazy, but that's just me.

little_dancer · 22 Oct 2003, 19:44

Well...I don't know if 'lengths people will go' is a fair description.

I've wanted to get a tattoo for awhile now, and I wanted it to be something 'personally significant'- so...the original bat is aesthetically cute, and it's a symbol of MY FAVORITE music- so...I don't know if that's 'getting carried away' or just picking a tattoo that means more to you than a 'flower around the ankle' kind of thing.

I've been thinking about a tattoo for about 3 yrs. now, and I originally dismissed the idea about the original bat,(my bf. suggested it) because I also thought it would be silly. In my personal opinion, however, I think it makes more sense to get a tattoo that says something about you- your than to get a pretty flower, that means nothing to you at the end of the day.

Anyways, I haven't gotten one yet- still just thinking about it.

To each his own.

Rob The Badger · 22 Oct 2003, 20:26

Fair enough.

CarolM · 22 Oct 2003, 21:02

Little Dancer, :) you go for it.

I also want one sorry but not of Bat couldnt stand the pain

, i want a little rose on my ankle for now,

later on maybe ill get one of Meat.

Bigmomma · 22 Oct 2003, 21:27

can i just warn you little dancer, i wanted a tattoo so badly when
i was younger and went ahead and did it.
I have spent quite a lot of money to get them removed by laser
and still need quite a lot of work done on them.
what looks good on a young person doesnt neccesarrily look as
good or as cute on someone lets just say a bit older....
and as for one on your ankle well for one thing the less skin there
is the more painful the tattoo and blimey that is one of the most
painful places, that and the wrist bone, i had an eye with a teardrop
on one ankle and a love heart on the other, thought they would be
out of site and doh, never thought of the beach did i ?
just thought i would give you something to think over that is all as
i wish someone had bothered to warn me, but then i probably wouldnt
of listened if they did, ah, the joys of youth...
