are the songs being ranked as songs, or are the songs being ranked as that version of the song?

that version of the song of course ;)

But the arrangement is far superior to that of Bat 2. It's a shame about the singing though.

However as a songwriter Jim is immense !

I've but forward some facts which are the truth in my opinion, and I'm leaving it at that. Jim didn't get greedy or look for self glory. The gun was put to his head and he had to release the album. An album that Meat Loaf didn't like and probaly didn't want to record anyway even though he couldn't. If Jim was becoming so self obsessed and wanting all the attention for himself why give Meat Loaf a whole album of songs to record?

Research the meaning of these three words. It is important.

I don't really think much to Rory Dodd's singing either if I'm honest.

I have to say when I heard the record I thought it was Jim all the way through. His voice is identical to Rory Dodds. You can paint both of them with the same brush to be fair. :yep:

*Recalling Bad For Good*: Great songs, weak vocals, risible videos.

To be fair its 2 years since i listened to it, what i should have said was that i think Jim can't sing. I do remember the duet Karla did Dance in My Pants i thought was canny. In honesty i suppose i need to listen to it again and then comment on what i thought of the songs that Jim didn't sing on. I just couldn't get into it much, so did not perserve with it.

I think the overall quality of the production is not on a par with Bat Out Of Hell. It may not have been done on the cheap, but it sort of sounds like it.

I agree with that totally, and the one thing that annoyed me most when listening to the record was the drums. They sounded like thrash cans, and were way to overwhelming to be honest.

Plus his relationship with Jim was starting to show cracks. Jim either released Bad for good or got his ass sued. You can't say "Oh he should have waited a few years"; when you are contracted to release a record by your record company you bloody well have to. They can buy and sell your ass in a heartbeat. We all know Jim could wait a decade or two to release an album, but Bad For Good had to be done. End of story.

Jim is a good singer, but he was no where near as good as Meat Loaf. I liked BFG for what it was, but it could have been better. Meat from my understanding hated all the songs on Bad for Good when he heard them at the time. Even though he did record most of them in later years.

Nothing that you wrote is true ! About the record Co. or being sued. Jim was not on the contract. End of story, BS

That's hardly a revelation. Steve6 is very temperamental, that's 50% temper and 50% mental...LOL

I thought it was about half and half? Either way Jim should have stuck to writing and left the singing to those who can actually sing. :twisted:

What is the truth then? Wasn't Bad for Good supposed to be Renegade Angel? Didn' the original songbook get stolen? Did Jim get greedy and go for self glory on BFG? You did say you hated the songs on BFG!!

If you got told the truth would you believe it? Seems lately you you have an agenda on versions of facts.
