Bat 2 is 20 this year
 

It's Bat 2's birthday in a couple of months, so what is the chance of us getting something new? :shrug:

We are. Some new Steinman songs on the next album. Better than nothing.

I meant in relation to Bat 2, of which you were probably well aware. Virgin's last reissue was seven years ago so it's possible.

I'm hoping for a Bat 2 played in order at some point (probably more likely to be 25th with Meat being so busy); personally I don't really like the studio album but when the songs are performed live they really come to life.

Will always be my favourite album! Few albums can rival it.

IMO It's the best album EVER and no album can rival it.

Sure something may turn up. Probably not till a little after september's anniversary but dont count it out ;)

They should release (if they have this at least) the Bat 2 videos in HD at least. And perhaps the full history of Meat Loaf as well on Blu Ray combined with the album.

Too right. What about including Blue Tears Date with Destiny? Wonder if Meat ever recorded it as it was supposed to be on the album

Or even Bat II: Picture Show on a bonus DVD, even though a lot of it ended up on the last special edition.

What is Blue Tears Date with Destiny?

Apparently Steinman was considering this song for the album until he decided they should all be written by him.

This :up:

How is Bat II 20 years old? I'm sure AFL only just came out...!

I enjoy this album, there are some songs that I could do without but the songs that I do like I thoroughly enjoy and listen to often. Lemon-Won't Quit-Frying Pan-Objects, those are all great songs, imo. AFL was the song that introduced me to Meat and this was the first Meat album I ever purchased, so I guess this album will always mean something to me.

Did they ever film a show on the Bat 2 tour? We have a dvd from the original Bat tour and 3 Bats tour but none from Bat 2 (imo, the best tour).

I hate to ask this, but I will. What does Blue Tears have to do with Meat? It sounds like a Meat Loaf song, for sure, or Springsteen song.It has a bit of "I'm still alive" in it.

I think Bat 2 is the best. I love the songs in it, all of them. I was sad to see that the best of did not include wasted youth/everything louder b/c when attended a concert right after the album was released-it was this song that had the crowd up and dancing and screaming I love it Sort of reminds me of rock and roll mercenaries in a way.
I do not like the music at the beginning of Lemon, have always thought it should have had an intro like Wasted youth and Everything louder. I did not like the remix either. I like the song, just not how it begins. the original sounds like a funeral dirge.

Yes, at least two:

Re Blue tears. This must be a parody. It sounds like a Jimmy Kimmel sketch. Absolutely horrible! If Meat is Springsteen on steroids then this is Springsteen on really cheap amphetamines.

Parts of the Hudson Show appears on the Bat 2 Show. Maybe there's more in the vaults.
German Pay TV had an advert for a show that never was aired (not the Neigbourhood Concert!!).

There's a lot in the vaults.... alot. Maybe one day some of that stuff will see the light of day ;)

The chance of getting something new was ~~~~ all. :down:
