Then, Meat Loaf lost his voice and was unable to record Renegade Angel. However, someone broke into their dressing rooms during the show and stole several possessions, including the new lyric book. Steinman rejoined Meat Loaf and the band for a live performance in Toronto, Ontario, Canada in 1978 with the intention of going through the songs for Bat II after the show. He told an interview at the time, "We called it Bat Out of Hell II 'cos that would help it sell shitloads." It always seemed incomplete because I conceived it like a film, and what would you do without Die Hard 2?" Meat Loaf himself was more succinct. It was a chance to go back to that world and explore it deeper. It really does feel like an extension of that. "I didn't call it Bat Out of Hell II just to identify with the first record. In a 1993 promotional interview for the album, Steinman reasserts the continuation of the Bat world. and I wanted to do one that to me would be even more heroic and more epic and a little more operatic and passionate. Bat Out of Hell to me was ultimately very heroic though it was funny. I wanted to do a continuation and I wanted to do an album that went even further and that was more extreme, if possible, which a lot of people felt wasn't possible but I just wanted to see if I could make a record that was even more heroic because that's what I thought of it. I started writing what I felt was Bat Out of Hell part 2, definitely like The Godfather part 1 and part 2, that's how I saw it. In a 1981 BBC Rock Hour Special interview, Jim Steinman recalls the writing process. In the midst of the success of Bat Out of Hell, desperate for a follow-up, management and the record company put pressure on Steinman to stop touring in order to write a follow-up, provisionally titled Renegade Angel. It sold over 14 million copies worldwide.
