have you got real. I'm listening at the mo but couldn't until I download real player

at the end of the show the presenter asked the question how well will Bat III do in the age of digital downloading?....it did not say bat III would be a digital download.

I've just listened to it on radio2.co.uk and i loved it. I'm so glad they mentioned Bat III aswell. However, i do think they should have had a little less of the music and a little more talking.... but that's just my personal opinion.

It sounds like a very recent interview. Could you tell if it sounded like it was over the phone? The news is great, nevertheless and needless to say.

I´m sorry, it was late at night here, when i listended to it and i heard "download area" instead of "download era"
excuse me

I think the mix of music and talk was very good. You may see it as everyone of us, as a Meat fan. But for someone who whould listen to it and only heard of Meat it whould be good. (I´m saying this as an expert for such things;-) )
I´m planning to do something like this next month for our station, but it will be a portait of Meat, not of BOOH, and it will be 1 or 2 hours.

It was all old interviews and quotes cobbled together, interwoven by music, not even an actual interview :(

Hell, I did that in Year 9 music about Jim Steinman using the words from Love, Death and an American Guitar.

Maybe I misunderstood the purpose/meaning.

I did but there was a problem last night... listening right now!

Anyone find it interesting what Meat was saying about the uniqueness of Paradise, when Jim did go on to repeat the formula with Dance in my Pants? As much as I love Dance it is a bit like Paradise II!

And why no FOR CRYING OUT LOUD?:twisted:

Jim tried to recapture the essence of Paradise with DIMP, but DIMP is simply lacking in many areas.

What I find most interesting is this claim Dance In My Pants was written after, and copying, Paradise By The Dashboard Light. That is not necessarily so...

For those Steinfreaks among us you'll be aware that he worked on the "Neverland" musical in 1977. The song which opens the second act is "Dance in my Pants". The entire show has been recorded (live) with the exception of this scene, and a few others, because the people recording forgot to turn the tape on. In that case, we are never quite sure if Steinman recycled this song for "Bad For Good" but giving his penchant for recycling it's most likely he did. Thus...

"Dance In My Pants" was premiered in Neverland, June 1977, with "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" released as part of the BAT album in October 1977. That almost, immediately, gives cause to dismiss the Paradise II claim.

I think he wrote them at the same time and, for some reason, Meat Loaf didn't want it on BAT 1

I think he wrote the first verses first, you know the part the girl sings.That would be the song on Neverland. After BOOH he changed it to a Paradise II.

According to the "Neverland" programme, Dance In My Pants is sung by The Historian and Wendy

So?
Total eclipse has also been sung by 2 people.

Total Eclipse *is* sung by two people. What are you talking about?

Ryan: Totale finsternis!

You could tell straight away that it wasn't an interview. I doubt the presenter and Meat ever met. The music sounded very good. I think they probably asked Meat to record some answers to some questions. He has worked on R2 before and did a really good 1 hour christmas show 1999 ( ? ) featuring his favorite music. I think it's quite upto date. It sounds very much like Meats been waiting for rock to come back into fashion and this is the year for his version of rock!

It may sounded so, as if the presenter and Meat never meet. But radiostations often reco.rd the voice of the presenter a second time and use from the original interview just the voice of the artist. This is done, because a voice recorded in a studio always sounds better than in a hotel room (no echoes and such things).
Mostly the interviewer don´t even record their own voice in an interview because they know, that they won´t use it.

Ahh this is very interesting - but to be honest I think they are both fantastic songs, so it doesn't bother me at all if one is similar, or copied from another. I enjoy them both!

Paradise is unique. What other album that sold, what an unrecorded 60 million contains such a song?.
It is unique, why try to read more into it?

That sounds great Radiomaster ! Please keep us posted :))
Is your radio station streamed on the web ... so those of the U.S. will be able to hear it as well ?

And I can't find anything. Could some one give me a direc link please? Thank you:D

You can't, because it is a pop up window. (well i don't know how to find an adress for a pop up window.)

Go to the link above. On the right hand side of the window there is a purple box that says listen again. It has Coldplay and Jools Holland in it. Click on more shows at the bottom of the purple box. There will be a big lists of shows and it is the first under the A-Z of all shows.

Hope that helps!

We had a live stream, but now there are some problems with it. I hope that it will work again until next month, when i will do the show.
But You won´t understand very much vicki, it´s in german!
