What would you want in a massive Meaty box set?

[Evil One]

Something to rival the new Springsteen collection. :twisted:

With Meat's works distributed over various record labels, and probably very little unreleased studio stuff worth having anyway, I'd like a bumper live compendium set with a CD/DVD of a show from every tour since 1977.

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: DVD of every promo vid made.

[RadioMaster]

steak, some saussages, lamb chops, bacon :twisted:

[duke knooby]

i'd settle for a few new great meat loaf/steinman performances

in either a nice shiny tin, or a wooden box.

I'm guessing you mean the 1995 Beacon Theater show, not Hudson Theater?

There were also concerts filmed in Rotterdam in 1994, Bremen in 1996 and one from the VBO tour that currently escapes me. These could all be included in full for the first time.

[AndrewG]

I'm guessing you mean the 1995 Beacon Theater show, not Hudson Theater?


Yes, thanks. ;-)

Perhaps Bremen might be better. It must have been round the first time I saw Meat in May 96. Was a three hour show and quite spectacular. Probably the most fun version of Paradise I've seen when they repeated the "so now we're praying till the end of time" bit again.

[Wario]

I already posted mine in the springsteen thread...

[Couch Potato]

Iam sure, i could be wrong, I was only 11, but I am certain there was cameras in Sheffield in 1995. And Im sure Meat spoke about the show being filmed?

I could have dreamt it.

Id love to heat a live best of tour cd and if poss and DVD - I loved that tour, and was the last tour I attended just before leaving school - good memories. I went to (i think) either 3 or 4 shows at Sheffield of the same tour - amazing nights, stick in my mind like it was yesterday.

But It would be nice to see a box set of Meaty stuff - Complete back catalogue plus rareaties. I did buy the Bat/Dead Ringer/Midnight box set a few years back - possibly 10 years back, for £5!!

[Julie in the rv mirror]

I'd buy this...

[Elijah's way]

Everything he has ever done.:D

[PanicLord]

Eva Longoria and a winning lottery ticket for a start. Remastered Dead Ringer album and film for follow up. Hell, everyone needs a rest from time to time :lol:

[Couch Potato]

id also like a big cheque for £1000000,000000 if thats possible - dotn want to be too greedy

[Devil's Son]

yeah all this stuff and good looking shirt :devil:

[Evil One]

Mustn't forget a couple of keyrings and a badge!

[Couch Potato]

and a mug and a hat

[Wario]

Gotta say maybe meat is indeed releasing a Bat 2 show come 2013. The twenty year anniversary of the album must have some surprises for sure.

But one show we always forget about is that show HCW was taken from on the Classic Albums album (Rotterdam, 1994 I believe).

He was in great voice, and that show was performed in its entirety. id much rather see that.

Footage from that was used in the A Kiss is A Terrible Thing To Waste Music Video

[Evil One]

There were also concerts filmed in Rotterdam

But one show we always forget about is that show HCW was taken from on the Classic Albums album (Rotterdam, 1993 I believe)

There's another one from 1989-90 as well. Plus I'll shit myself in public if Meat doesn't have more concerts filmed and hidden away.

[RadioMaster]

speaking of Bat2, I'm quite happy with the Bat2 CE we got in 06. Nice digipak, remastered album, BOOH live, all the Music videos and a couple of interviews on dvd.

If you dont compare it to the new MASSIVE springsteen release (which would be unfair anyway) this release is pretty neat!

It had all the "Live Rehearsals" remastered on that disk except Loouder (which I can see) and Masculine (which is the best produced rehearsal track regardless if you like the song or not).

HCW on that disk is terrible.

[Evil One]

They weren't remastered, someone just ramped up the volume, so in actual fact they sound worse than on the original singles.

[Wario]

They weren't remastered, someone just ramped up the volume, so in actual fact they sound worse than on the original singles.

But you can agree that Masculine was the best produced track :))

[RadioMaster]

wasnt just the actual album remastered?

[Evil One]

No, I think Bat Out Of Hell, You Took The Words and Two Out Of Three are all better.
wasnt just the actual album remastered?
Yes

[duke knooby]

speaking of Bat2, I'm quite happy with the Bat2 CE we got in 06.

not only the best meat album of 2006, but his best since 1993 :twisted:

[Mr. Happy]

I really don't care what else is in the box set, so long as he finally records What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most...that's a VERY long time overdue :l

[Pudding]

so long as he finally records What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most...that's a VERY long time overdue :l

Why is it overdue? Did Jim promise it Meat?

[Wario]

Why is it overdue? Did Jim promise it Meat?

Nah its just a song Meat shoudlve recorded for awhile.

[Pudding]

Well it's an OK song but I don't think it's outstanding.

[RadioMaster]

i think it is.

[Pudding]

Do you think it's outstanding because you genuinely think so or because it's one of very few recent (past 10 years) new Steinman songs and he has sod all else to offer?

[Evil One]

What I've heard of it sounds pretty good, but I don't think Rob Evan is all he's cracked up to be. It certainly has the potential to be on the level of The Future Ain't What It Used To be, but I'm not sure it could equal FCOL or Objects.

[duke knooby]

but I don't think Rob Evan is all he's cracked up to be.

IMO (for tink) yeah, he can sing... but no power, drama or passion

he doesn't "own" those songs...

did NOTHING for me... infact, the whole dream engine clips did nothing for me

which is a shame as theres some good songs buried within

[Pudding]

but I don't think Rob Evan is all he's cracked up to be.

I don't think he is either, his voice is ten-a-penny on broadway.

I don't dislike the song at all, maybe it's the way Rob Evan & Co sing it which doesn't have the real WOW! factor for me :shrug:

[Fire Ball]

id also like a big cheque for £1000000,000000 if thats possible - dotn want to be too greedy

If you get one can we all share it?

I'd agree with that

careful you dont get hatemail now :twisted:

[melon]

I'd be happy with £1000 right now ha ha

[AndrewG]

I'd be happy with $1000 AUD :))

[Evil One]

careful you dont get hatemail now :twisted:
That's ok. It would all be worded correctly with excellent punctuation, but there would be no oomph to the actual content. :twisted:

[renegadeangel]

I think what would be most impressive would be his version of A DATE WITH DESTINY. It was bumped from BAT 2 as they wanted only Jim songs. I guess at one point that wasn't going to happen and they wanted to put DATE on it.

[RadioMaster]

it was my understanding Date with Destiny was dropped way before the recording began...:shrug:

[Steve6]

I agree with people that say the Dead Ringer film should be in there. I've never seen it myself, but from what I know and heard it got a couple of good reviews when it was released. It was supposed to cost a fair few dollars too. Sonenberg directed it correct?
