Those kind of things don't make any sense to me whatsoever. Clearly Dance in my Pants is a kind of sequel to Paradise as is Dead Ringer For Love. It wouldn't make any sense to have either an album with both those songs on it or an album without any of the two considering the songs that were available and the around only 8 or 9 allocated song slots. I think people take what Meat and Jim say as spur of the moment things far too seriously.

Can you remember this photo from the Bat3 recording sessions? At the time Bat3 was being recorded Only When I Feel, Elvis In Vegas, I Wanna Be With You were slated to be ON the album but were never recorded.

sadly I came here in 2007 after bat 3 was released.

I never saw that before! :shock:

He said on Storytellers he had it recorded.

Rock & Roll Dreams
Stark Raving Love

I listened to Left in the Dark last night. It depressed me before I went to bed.

You can see why a bloke went home and nearly done away with himself having heard THAT song.

Which bloke is that then?

A guy that was working in the studio where Jim was recording the album. I heard that story years ago. He had just broken up with his wife, because he found out she was having an affair with another man. Left in the Dark pushed him over the edge.

Who did you hear that story off? because I've never heard it and sounds like a total load of bullshit to me.

I heard it from Jim.

:yikes: :yikes: :yikes: :yikes:

In the middle of a red hot dream...

As if Jim would tell me that in the middle of a red hot dream in fairness. He told everyone. That story is old.

Where exactly did Jim (I'm presuming Steinman) tell everyone? Sounds like a story you're making up or have twisted to try and sound like a sensationalist. Steinman regailing a story of attempted suicide by someone he worked with after listening to one of his songs seems utterly ridiculous.

I'm very happy that my facts have been validated. I was telling the truth after all, and I'm delighted with myself. :lol: Never doubt Steve6. Click here: http://www.jimsteinman.com/unknown.htm

Also to quote Scaramouche:

"I have a Fox FM (Australia) radio interview from 1981 were Jim says one of the (B4G) studio engineers split from his girlfriend, listened to LITD about 30 times and then nearly drove his car off a cliff.

I think it's just one of his 'stories'.

Everyone on here should give me a pat on the back, and say "Well done". :lol:

Will a cowpat do? :-P

So we have from the Sandy Roberts article:

Except the depressed studio engineer, who listening to a new song called 'Left In The Dark' tried to slit his wrists.

And then a radio interview:

"I have a Fox FM (Australia) radio interview from 1981 were Jim says one of the (B4G) studio engineers split from his girlfriend, listened to LITD about 30 times and then nearly drove his car off a cliff.

The only pat you're going to get is from a bull ;)

Read my original post a while back:

"You can see why a bloke went home and nearly done away with himself having heard THAT song".

and you replied:

"Where exactly did Jim (I'm presuming Steinman) tell everyone? Sounds like a story you're making up or have twisted to try and sound like a sensationalist. Steinman regailing a story of attempted suicide by someone he worked with after listening to one of his songs seems utterly ridiculous"

The only bull is you, and I have you cornered now. Come on Pud give up, you have been defeated. :smartass:

If you read the article that YOU linked to, nowhere does it say that Jim said that a man went home and nearly killed himself. Sandy Robertson quoted an apparent story but doesn't say from who. Prove me wrong and I'll suck your balls :shock:

Enough bickering.
