The rock singer says he's never had a problem scoring -- even when he was a "fat motherf--ker" -- and reveals himself as a climate change denier.
Meat Loaf was all fired up in a recent interview with The Daily Mail, with the rocker taking aim at modern masculinity, dating, his sex life and teen climate activist Greta Thunberg.
