Think I blew it on J Ross

[Fire Ball]

Guess will know tonight , I slept 4 hours , usually I'm pretty quick , I was thinking in Jello. I felt stupid when it was over and didn't think it was very good . Hope they edit out the stupid Parts. I tried my best on all but 4 hours sleep and the Frankfurt the building was very hot I was getting very tired at the end . Also I have not been Hungry the last few days.. My Mother would have thought I was sick !! Heard we got got 5 good reviews from the show in Frankfurt , but not speaking German .. It could all be lies. Keep your finger crossed for J. Ross tonight ,that I'm not an Idiot !!! They will put me in the tower !!!

Don't worry, there is no way you could have looked more stupid than Johnathon Ross. It's just impossible.

Even through a Google translator, what German reviews I've seen have been good .. as have comments/reviews from fans. Keep slaying 'em ;)

There's wise words for you there Meat.

There are plenty of twits on British television and I really hope it doesn't turn out to be as bad as you think it's going to be. I don't think it will be and even if it's not great, your friends here will still love ya. ;)

If you were yourself, it'll be fine or better. The UK loves an eccentric more than anything else. ;) All the TV interviews I've seen with you, you've been compelling whether you were ill, jet-lagged or anything else. I don't think this one will be any different, and if it is, big deal, we've loved you over here for close to 40 years. 7 minutes with J.Ross won't change anyone's opinion.

Yeah but at least you'll get to see him ;) I'm just hoping a clip will make it's way to YouTube so those of us in the USA will be able to see it :-)

[mtaylor315]

So far so good. The guests were introduced and Jonathan did his opening routine. Quite a funny joke about Meat's Madame Tussauds figure being melted down to make the One Direction ones :lol:.

One of the guests has a bag with him, and will show what is inside later in the show. When Jonathan mentioned the bag, Meat woofed :lol:.

You're making me laugh Meat. You shouldn't have worried if the little bit so far is anything to go by :-) x

Got to admit, if I were being interviewed (like that would ever happen) I wouldn't much fancy sitting in the 'Green Room' with the camera on me for 45 minutes never knowing when I might be called on to react to something - especially when that's the time you'd usually be using to get prepared.

[AndrewG]

JIM STEINMAN songs!!! Yes! :))

[Adje]

JIM STEINMAN songs!!! Yes! :))

Wot? :??:

[mtaylor315]

Jonathan: 'When can we hear this new track?'
Meat: '...Probably around September 2014'
Jonathan: 'What the ****'

Nearly fell off my seat haha x

[Monstro]

JIM STEINMAN songs!!! Yes! :))

and THREE of them!!!!

[mtaylor315]

The interview was brilliant Meat. You shouldn't have been worried at all :-) x

[AndrewG]

I thought Meat looked pretty good. Maybe a little bit tired. But nothing obvious. No flipping wonder waiting through those other guests.
Great little interview. Well worth waiting for. :))

[lorenzoduke]

Meat, I hate to tell you that you were worrying over nothing....but not for the first time, you were. :)

The absolute worst thing I could say about that interview was you looked a bit tired. Other than that, you were funny, engaging and charming as ever. The Steinman news was great and well broken. I guess Johnathan's responses may have thrown you off a little, 'what's wrong with [Jimmy]' but you fielded them absolutely well and kept on track. You were definitely too hard on yourself. Stupid, you most certainly did not look, on any level.

Rest easy man, it was another successful night.

[Monstro]

Well whatever Meat may think he did/said that was stupid didn't make it to the final edit, nowt wrong with that at all

[Sebastian.]

Yes 3 Steinman songs!

I thought it was a great interview, Meat. The only one where I wasn't bored. You don't have anything to worry about You came over funny and lively. Shame I wasn't in the Audience like the One Show, would have preferred some Jaffa cakes over hot cross buns!

[AndrewG]

Asked my wife who is very impartial and not really a Meat Loaf fan. Only one she thought looked stupid was Jonathan by being disrespectful towards Jim Steinman when he said "is he stupid?" when taking his time with the songs etc. A bit insensitive.

I agree but Jonathan probably didn't mean it. He's probably just eager to hear the results too. :-)

I definitely don't think Meat looked stupid. Thought this was more interesting than on the one show.

[CarylB]

Ok , Let me know.. I am ready to take the Bad , if it comes !! be honest .. I am prepared for the Pain.
M

You were fine .. you old sprucer!! I can think of dozens of guests who'd wish they could come across like that when firing on 5 cylinders, let alone when their heads feel like jello ;)

My favourite moment? Right at the start when you woofed at the bag being held up :lol:

And the other .. saying you love us. We know you do .. as we do you. So .. don't ever be a stranger!! :-)

Oh .. and be glad they didn't think to get in a plate of gluten free Jaffa cakes :lol: Spotted those this week. They didn't it seems, so you were off the hook there! ;)

C xx

[lorenzoduke]

I agree but Jonathan probably didn't mean it. He's probably just eager to hear the results too. :-)

I thought it was pretty near the line, but I guess he just has a tendency to play devil's advocate a bit and say what he thinks a layman would think when told a song would take a year to write/complete.

[CarylB]

Meat it was great thank you! I think the only person who should of been nervous was Jonathan interviewing such a great artist!
See you tomorrow in Berlin

[duke knooby]

meat, ye did great!

exciting news on workin with mr steinman again, twist his arm for that 3rd song ;)

the only slight letdown for me, was jonathan kept interupting your news to do the cher pic.

[Tregaye]

Brilliant interview Meat, you shouldn't have been worried! After a rubbish day it really made me chuckle :D , and now Peter Andre's talent has finally been revealed: jaffa cake eating lol!

Just watched it and you got nothing to worry about Meat thought it was great , no problem at all, great sense of humour as usual
Try and catch up on some sleep
See you in Manchester

Oh NO ! what I have forgotten to worry about . Now I'm worried !!

I look forward to watching the interview whenever it's uploaded. I'm sure you did just fine as everyone is reporting.

[kathymja]

I recorded it as I was babysitting and just got a chance to watch it. Meat, you did not look stupid! I did however think Jonathan Ross was rather rude with the Jim news. Thanks for saying you're fond of us Meat :D

Meat even with all your angst you managed to be the cream that rose to the top on that program.

Lets be honest though when you had Wossy & Peter Andre as your stooges to take attention away if you fluffed anything you were always going to look good.

Stoked to hear that the number of Steinman tracks on Brave & Crazy keeps rising!

Just saw it on YT. I actually enjoyed the interview, funny stuff and great to hear about the Steinman news :cool:

loved the news about you and Mr. Steinman working together again!! and didn't really undertstand what's so funny about how long it will take to do it, i always thought for a good work there's need time and Mr. Steinman definitely takes his time :-) but in the end it's worth it!!

[Wario]

That was the second best interview lately ive seen after Pierce Morgan..... dont see what was wrong with it.... Sans instead of more meat questions a stupid cake eating thing.

Please let the three Jim songs be:

Braver then we are
What Part of my Body Hurts the most
Dance in My Pants with patti and Meat

Also im hoping the new album will have bonus tracks....

[Mr. Happy]

You had nothing to worry about, Meat. Absolutely nothing wrong with that, four hours of sleep or not :D

If a quarter of the album is going to be Jim songs now, it's going to be interesting to see how they fit with the rest of the songs stylistically, just because a song like Braver Than We Are is going to sound very out of place on an album like HiaHB. Welcome to the Neighbourhood II incoming? :D

[Guy]

I thought that was a great interview. A bit quick but excellent.
Looking forward to hearing more about yourself and jim :0) :0) wow, 3 more songs.
No need to worry there Meat. And you got to kiss Joanna Lumley too!!
By the way is there any news on the bbc documentary that was filmed? I think there was a picture on FB.
Any idea if or when it may be shown?
Take care buddy. ;0) see you in manchester.

[robgomm]

Meat, I just watched the interview this morning, you were fine! You were funny and charming as usual, did the exclusive reveal well, came across really well I thought. Funny story about fight club.

Finally Meat, I think if you ever retire from music and acting you should just have some type of special role for motivating people! The way you was motivating JR to eat the jaffa cakes was brilliant and also hilarious! I loved that bit at the end lol

Anyway you were great as always, love ya

[Evil One]

Braver then we are
What Part of my Body Hurts the most
Dance in My Pants

Meat,

I agree with everyone else, there was nothing wrong with the interview and you most certainly did not come across stupidly or whatever else it was that you were worrying about.

I thought it was lovely when you said how much you loved your fans in Ireland and the UK. We love you too Meat. :D

I have to agree with everyone else - there wasn't anything to worry about! You were funny and engaging, and your news certainly cheered me up. :D

I wasn't a big fan of the host calling Jim 'stupid'.

He wasn't far off from the lazy comments though.

[Cherry.Loaf]

I wonder if any other Brits got the Honeymooners reference?

I only know of it's existence due to King of Queens tbh


It was a really great interview definitely would not have known you'd only had four hours sleep :)

[Breeze]

I thought Meat gave a very good response to Jonathan re: "...is Jim just stupid or crazy....?" I think he also mentioned lazy. No he's an artist and he's slow. I thought you came across very well, tired yes, but very authentic.
That was the most painful looking outfit Cher wore in Dead Ringer. :shock:

I'm surprised more people aren't hoping for an entirely new Jimmy song or two. I know it might not be particularly likely, but still.

[Breeze]

I hope for
Braver than we are
We're still the children
What part of my body hurts the most
and more but would be happy with any Jim songs.
I heard Markus do # 2, 3 on youtube and he did a wonderful job.

I'm surprised more people aren't hoping for an entirely new Jimmy song or two. I know it might not be particularly likely, but still.

All I'm hoping for is an album that I will enjoy. ;)

I realise that some people might not share my point of view but Jim Stienman's involvement with the new album doesn't make any difference to my excitement for it. If it's a Meat Loaf album then I'm going to be excited for it's release regardless of who wrote the songs.

I realise that some people might not share my point of view but Jim Stienman's involvement with the new album doesn't make any difference to my excitement for it. If it's a Meat Loaf album then I'm going to be excited for it's release regardless of who wrote the songs.

I agree. I'm happy for everyone that has been hanging out to hear this, and I'm definitely happy for Meat and Jim, but to me it makes me neither more or less excited... I'll look forward to it and love it all the same :)

I'm surprised more people aren't hoping for an entirely new Jimmy song or two. I know it might not be particularly likely, but still.

That's what I'd be hoping for. Surely that's why it will take the time? It's a new album, could be the last collaboration we hear .. bring on something new and exciting that's really worthy of Meat and Jim working together again, and brings together Jim's brilliant composing and Meat's current style. I hope it's very likely :-)

But whatever it is .. for me it will be Meat, so I will look forward to it and love it, and for Meat it will be something special from these two men who Adler said belong together, and very, very important to him both artistically and emotionally. That bond is clearly something that is rooted in his soul and means the world to him. That's why it means a lot to me.

I share your point of view Jenna :D Yes Meat and Jim have made amazing music together, and I'm looking forward to hearing what they come up with.
However, Meat has been working working a lot of other great songwriters here recently (my favorites Evan Watson and Rick Brantley come to mind) :-)
So for me, the excitement is knowing that it's going to be a great album no matter what .... something to truly look forward to. As long as Meat and the fans are happy,
then I'm happy to !

Just caught the interview and it came across fine. My partner noticed that Meat was not as quick-witted as usual, but put it down to being sat across from Jonathan Ross... who talks enough for everyone usually! We thought it was a good interview, shared some interesting news, and Meat came off well :cool:

[Ollie241189]

Guess will know tonight , I slept 4 hours , usually I'm pretty quick , I was thinking in Jello. I felt stupid when it was over and didn't think it was very good . Hope they edit out the stupid Parts. I tried my best on all but 4 hours sleep and the Frankfurt the building was very hot I was getting very tired at the end . Also I have not been Hungry the last few days.. My Mother would have thought I was sick !! Heard we got got 5 good reviews from the show in Frankfurt , but not speaking German .. It could all be lies. Keep your finger crossed for J. Ross tonight ,that I'm not an Idiot !!! They will put me in the tower !!!
Meat

Meat! Chill dude! You were great on Jonathan Ross! Yeah we can all look silly at times and be really daft but dude, when you are silly, you're cool with it!

[Yevonda]

Ok , Let me know.. I am ready to take the Bad , if it comes !! be honest .. I am prepared for the Pain.

Hi there Meat. Watched the interview over the weekend. I thought you did a good job. You were quick with your responses. You handled the questions regarding Jim very well. You growled like a dog and made an underwear joke. How could it not have been a good interview.

I do agree with you that you may have looked a little tired towards the end but you are on a massive tour right now and you only had 4 hrs sleep on top of not eating. You did great man, don't be so hard on yourself. I know that is easy for me to say.

Take care.

[DJLeen]

Oh NO ! what I have forgotten to worry about . Now I'm worried !!

Don't worry Meat everything will be allright ;-D

Am I the only one who thinks that three Steinman songs is not nearly enough ? I wouldn't dare to believe that Jim is actually writing new songs for this - but the unrealised demos represent at least an album's worth of unrecorded material.

Man, there's a new record in the works, it contains Steinman material, it's got a song featuring 3 of Meat's most well known and loved duet partners (and not ever Wario would have predicted THAT).

The glass isn't half full, the glass isn't half empty, the glass is f*cking overflowing.

Good times :cheers:

Perhaps not. But I think most of us are simply excited by getting a new album, and one which will have possibly 3 Steinman penned songs, along with some other great songs Meat will have chosen and some of which he has recorded. I have loved the songs he's recorded on his last two stunning albums, and hope for more as good as them.

My hope is that given the length of time involved we WILL get something new, along with those above, rather than an album of unreleased demos.

Meat,
We watched it just now, and thought you were funny, genuine and it was a really good interview.

I got the sense that you wanted to get the news out but JR was wanting to get his pic of Cher up, at your expense. I thought you did a good job in getting to the news ;)

As other's have said, you didn`t look stupid at any point and fielded JR's "laugh a minute" crap well (did I mention I don`t like JR?)

The only problem was the interview was FAR too short ;)

Can't wait for the new CD ;)

[Paul Richardson]

The glass isn't half full, the glass isn't half empty, the glass is f*cking overflowing.

Well, I'd say the glass is half full at 3 songs.

My point was that there's enough material out there for a whole album - I'm no fan of Jonathan Ross but he did say what most people were probably thinking - why isn't there a full album ? Afterall its the completeness of BOOH 1 & 2, and to an extent Dead Ringer, that make them such awesome albums.

If there was a full album then the glass would be ~~~~ing overflowing. :roll:

[AndrewG]

Although I'd like to see a full Steinman album I think that if he doesn't have the time/energy or whatever to oversee all the production it wouldn't really matter. On Bat 3 we got loads of Steinman songs all produced by Desmond Child. I feel that that part of the album is actually quite sub par and hasn't aged well at all, not like the previous Steinman stuff on Bat 1 and Bat 2. (I actually do like the Desmond Child related songs themselves and find those much more interesting / better produced!). It feels like they scraped the bottom of the barrel, just to get the Steinman name on there. I think Bat 3 would have sounded better with only Bad for Good (more piano though and God Speed back in there), a better produced Seize The Night and a better produced Cry to Heaven, whilst leaving the other Steinman songs off whilst keeping all the Child stuff (maybe without If God and Cry over Me!). But then of course calling it "The Monster is Loose" only and leaving off the "songs by" title on the front (such sad details are important to me).

My point is just throwing all the remaining Steinman demos on there probably won't work.

Some people even want to hear "Total Eclipse" and "making love" rehashed! :facepalm::barf::barf: (Hey turn around Meat, you little bright eyed guy you. :wtf: and for a man singing the making love line sounds a little bit creepy somehow - having said that some of the lyrics are genius and would work for Meat "I can make all the stadiums rock")

I am hoping for some new songs, even if there are only two and hopefully "What Part of My Body Hurts The Most" on there as I do think it was written especially for Meat. Other than that I hope it's as good as "Welcome to the neighbourhood". Something like that. I'd be happy.

:twisted: If we had never heard of Meat's plans for a new album, and if Meat turned up on JR and said "me and Jimmy are releasing an EP of three songs" I kind of feel you would have been happier at that news rather than mourne the fact that Meat was going to be doing other material as well.

IMHO, take what you can from the album, everything else is just gravy 8)

It's a great time to be a Steinmeat fan :metal:

Now if we can just get him to tour the album :sneaky:

[LucyK!]

My personal view...Meat will never be able to win this one as people will always want more. I appreciate it stems from a positive place because Meat and Jim's collaborations are so loved, but the expecatation on them to do more is so high that it's actually not achievable.

HCTB and HIAH weren't good enough because there was no Jim, Brave & Crazy has Jim but it's not enough Jim...the poor sods can't win!

Right now we're in the middle of the Farewell Tour, so IMO anything else after this is a complete bonus.

[Evil One]

Right now we're in the middle of the Farewell Tour, so IMO anything else after this is a complete bonus.Indeed. One thing at a time. Lets kick up a fuss about a DVD of the tour before focusing on the next album. :twisted:

I regard everything released after 1999 as a bonus as I really thought THAT was the end at the time. ;-)

This may be true but we must give Wario credit, Credit for what I am not sure but I think he will have predicted something.

Before you chip in Wario....

NO ONE OF THE STEINMAN TRACKS WILL NOT BE A FUSION OF MASCULINE & DANCE IN MY PANTS

[CarylB]

My point is just throwing all the remaining Steinman demos on there probably won't work.

In accord with that .. and as Meat has said he expects 2, hopefully three, Steinman songs, it's clearly not something that's planned.

I follow Meat. He has for me delivered two superb albums since Cavallo unleashed him, and I would have been entirely delighted with that. Steinman has written some of the best songs ever penned, Meat and he started an extraordinary journey together which gave us some sublime music, Meat loves Jim and imo wants to work with him because of that, not for any other reason. If they can do this for some songs I am thrilled .. and perfectly happy to stand back, allow them to choose what they will work on, Meat to decide what his entire album will consist of.

As Lucy said, the expectations of some are so high that they could never be achieved .. Mine are that I will get an album which will bring them together creatively to the extent that IS achievable. I'm not expecting or even wanting them to try and create another BOOH, or Bat2, or bat anything really. A damn great record that gives me more of Meat's new found musical energy and drive, and brings him together collaboratively with the man with whom he started his amazing journey seems a fitting legacy.

I agree Lucy,we're getting a fantastic bonus .. and something to celebrate even as we feel a great sadness at the end of the tours ..

I think it has more to do than just friendship. Both of them are equally at their best when they are working together. A lot of the non Steinman songs that people have mentioned here are in my opinion writers trying to write like Steinman, which is not a bad thing.
I doubt we will see any older songs. More likely new songs and I have my doubts about three songs. I think that if Jim decides to he could write a whole album.
For Meat, it is a great opportunity to work with someone who has given him the songs for his greatest accomplishments. Most of the reviews have been more or less centered around the Jim songs and especially FCOL, by far one of the greatest songs ever written.
Whatever comes out of this, I am certain it will be something great.

Guess will know tonight , I slept 4 hours , usually I'm pretty quick , I was thinking in Jello. I felt stupid when it was over and didn't think it was very good . Hope they edit out the stupid Parts.

Brilliant interview, Meat, and the Frankfurt reviews are really excellent :-)

[Evil One]

It's still very early days. Meat and Jim may get working together and end up with a full album of Steinman songs. Or one of them may throw a childish fit, pack up their ball and go home. :shrug:

[CarylB]

I think it has more to do than just friendship.

I said Meat loves Jim ;) I wouldn't argue they have had their best and most memorable successes working together. What prompted my saying "love" is that I don't believe it's about chasing numbers, or even "success" .. but a belief that they were meant to be together, that they were bound together, and Meat I think still feels that, still feels that extraordinary closeness. Perhaps also now a feeling of completing the circle.

Whatever comes out of this, I am certain it will be something great.

Yes :)

Don't get me wrong, three songs are better than none - its just the potential is out there, without Jim having to write ANY new songs, for a BOOH 3 / 4 or at least a genuine 'Last At Bat'. While there's still this possibility then we should say what we think / feel ! Just IMHO ...

Much as I'd love a new full Meat & Jim album, I don't need to hear Meat sing every scrap of Jim material he can get his hands on regardless of suitability or quality.

If Meat has found other songs for Brave & Crazy that are of the quality of say, 'Peace On Earth', 'Elvis In Vegas', 'Prize Fight Lover', 'Martha', 'Giving Tree' etc., I'm more than eager to hear them and wouldn't want to see them jettisoned for the sake of it.

Besides, after Bat 3 I don't think I ever expected to hear Meat sing another new (or new/old) Jim song. If there's even one last great Meat & Jim epic to come, I'm thrilled.
