There's a difference between changing the lyrics of a song or arranging it musically and writing something completely new from scratch. Especially when the person who does the latter does it for hundreds of songs, as opposed to the former for a few songs here and there

And we can't forget this thread: Sticky: PRODUCTION ( 1 2 3 ... Last Page)
Metal Loaf (31 Mar 2012)
where a passing reference by Paul Crook to Bruce Springsteen developed into a full blown debate about who is the better artist, with several so called Meat fans saying that Bruce is by far the better artist.
Go start that many threads praising Meat on a Springsteen fan site and I guarantee you would be stopped from posting pretty quicky. And rightfully so.
I won't even start on the the countless other threads on this forum where the name is constantly being brought up. Just do a search on the forum for Bruce and you will see the countless threads that come up
Say something against Meat Loaf on his own fan site and that is just expressing an opinion and all opinions are supposed to be welcome, even if you are bashing the artist that the site is dedicated to. Say anything against the artist known as THE BOSS and you are being too critical. Once again, last time I checked the name of the site was the Meat Loaf Fan Club. He should be the one considered THE BOSS of this site.

All of those threads were started with the intention of discussing Springsteen away from the rest of the Meat Loaf-related board, and in the one thread that is the exception of the rule, the discussion was instigated by Paul himself in regards to a valid question. When it got out of hand, the person who kept it going redirected to a better location that was out of the way. What's wrong with talking about another rock and roll hero in an off-topic forum titled OTHER ROCK AND ROLL HEROES?
If you don't like it, just ignore it. These threads don't even come up on the home page
At the bolded part...I've never seen this. Did I miss something? Bruce has done his share of not-so-great work as much as anyone else has, and I don't think I've seen anyone denying it
Sorry, I'm not trying to back-seat mod. I was enjoying the discussion before it dissolved into crap >.<
