Meat Loaf doesn't like music.

The 'Bat Out Of Hell' hitmaker admits there are few modern artists he enjoys listening to because their stagecraft is so repetitive, unlike him who brings something new to his live performances.

He explained: "I don't like much music because most people are standing on the outside watching themselves.

"Most bands walk in the same footprints every night. I've had famous bands open for me and at the same bar every night they go over to the drums, play the tambourine, go stand on the monitor, pose this way, pose that way.

"You can ask my band, every night they have no f***ing clue what I'm about to do and neither do I."

Despite the worldwide popularity of his 'Bat Out Of Hell' album, the rocker - real name Marvin Lee Aday - insists he made barely any money from the record.

He added: "The only time I made anything was when we sued and we had some settlement and still, I had a really unscrupulous lawyer and it became an advance.

"I've gotten cheques for maybe $600,000 but everybody else has made millions from it."
