You say interesting.

Was "TEOTH" really written for Meat? WOULD be an interesting version...

[tonyloaf]

this is the type of bloke who would write a review of himself after everytime he has been to the loo

[CarylB]

When he said "..you be the judge" I was. Just over 4 minutes I'll never get back :roll:

[Wario]

I will say I wish he'd of gone more in depth into some of the tracks he didn't like an why,

I'm sorry... I just don't believe this. Love ML to death but I highly doubt this.

Than again he also seemed to think that IACBTMN was for him, yet Jim took out a lawsuit to prevent him from doing a version for years.

WOULD be an interesting version...

THIS I agree with.

A duet similar to Tanz and altered lyrics would be in order.

I just watched the whole video and I think that he gave his honest opinions and admitted that it took awhile to grow on him a little.

I can concur. I hated it at first, but several tracks grew on me and became a regular part of my playlist. Others I skip over every time and think that they should not be on a Bat album.

There has been discussion over the years regarding several songs. My theory is that many of Jim's songs were written with the idea of Meat singing it whether or not it was meant to be given to Meat to record. My second thought is that Jim at some point sent Meat some demos and that Meat feels he could have gotten these songs had the record company, etc. wanted to put up the money. I don't think it means that Meat was ever in the studio with intent to record and release the songs.

I think it has more to do with the simple fact that Meat feels he has the first exclusive right of refusal for any Steinman song.
Let's face it, he is right. Any Steinman song sung by somebody else always leaves me thinking how much better Meat would have done with it

TEOTH is not one of those songs I hope.

I don't agree that EVERY Jim song is meant for Meat, but lets face it 2/3 ain't bad. :p

IMO He's had a handful of remakes that weren't as good as the originals, even though they were all excellent in their own right. I'm sure that many will disagree.

I watched the entire review.:faint: It is clear he does not really like the ballad songs and prefers Jim to any other writer. However, he may actually represent the casual fan. I of course to not agree with him on sooooooooooo many things, but it is good to listen to how folks feel. We all are his fans and while I don't like everything he has ever done, I like most.

When I first listened to the album I was first upset about 2 things--
The Future ain't what it used to be is one of my favorite songs and I love the way it was originally done. I would have liked to have heard Jennifer sing it herself and really kick loose with the gospel type choir stuff . The original had a Barbershop Quartet at the end. it was amazing. but oh well.
Bad for Good I wish I could explain why this song is not what I hoped it would be, but i can't. I just did not make it for me.
This has been one of Meat's album that has grown on me.
I did not like some of it when I first heard it but realized there are some amazing songs in this album. "alive" being one of them.

I mean... How serious can you take a stoner who has to take a "BREAK" in the middle of the video to showcase his own mediocre music? Put down the pipe dude and come back to reality.

:twisted: You thought it was that good? :shock:

[CarylB]

Can't say I struggled that far :lol: I could feel my life draining away, one inexorable second after another .. and they're getting precious now ;)

I'm not sure if I would call someone who is familiar with Pandoras Box, Bad For Good AND the Batman musical a 'casual fan'.

I actually agree with him on the ballads. ML used to put out some REALLY good ones, but lately his rockier stuff has been his strong suit.

As a stoner I find this rather offensive... :roll:

As a stoner I find this rather offensive

As a citizen of the United States and having tracked down this YouTuber to Phenix City, Tennessee...I find it extremely offensive that anyone would blatantly thumb their nose at the law by showing marijuana paraphernalia on their YouTube channel. Further, I find it highly offensive this illicit display is in association with an artist I respect and who does not publicly endorse the use of such substances.

Further, this is also a State-Level criminal offense in Tennessee where this dude lives:


Possession of paraphernalia misdemeanor 1 year $ 2,500
Possession of marijuana 1/2 oz or less (first offense) misdemeanor 1 year $ 250
Possession of marijuana 1/2 oz - 10 lbs felony 1 - 6 years $ 5,000


BTW, before you get all bent out of shape...I do not necessarily agree with the laws, but a law is a law and this fella is definitely in violation of at least possession of paraphernalia.

Not that I'm a drug user or condone it's use ... but ultimately it's just someone's opinion of an album (whatever else it shows) - which I'm sure we all agree - is within the better half of Meat's output ? Maybe we just all need to lighten up ? :roll:

[Breeze]

Good points Dave,
there ae also children in the video.

[Elijah's way]

That guy is a douche
