He wrote this today on Facebook:

Meat Loaf : WE might do 2 to 5 of shows in the UK in 2015, the O2, Manchester , and Edinburgh, Scotland . Before going to Poland and Russia. Then South America and do the " Last at bat tour in Australia. Also more shows in Vegas. The new album has 6 Jim Steinman songs on the Record, Total of 14 songs on the record. IT is a great record !!!! M

Erm... really?

Fantastic - 6 songs, hopefully some new stuff as well.

**The Flying Mouse** · 17 Feb 2014, 01:28

Doesn't sound like definite plans, but something to hope for :)

CarylB · 17 Feb 2014, 02:03

Exactly .. he said MIGHT .. so before we start getting him on a plane ..

CarylB · 17 Feb 2014, 04:44

And he seems to have thought better of announcing his thoughts ... it seems to have been removed from his FB page now. It's early days and just possibilities imo

of those 6 songs I'm hoping body is one of them

So it's Bat 3, but...better!

14 songs and almost half of them are by Jim! This just made my day

I wonder if he's still looking at a 2014 release date for this. The fact that the track listing sounds finalised sounds promising.

Vickip · 17 Feb 2014, 05:49

The latest I read (on Meat's FB page) is that it's going to be released in February 2015.

Would love to see Last at Bat in the US.

I know I'm probably in the minority but I'm actually a little bit disappointed at this news because that means that there will be less room for songs by the other writers.
I've really loved some of the songs that Meat has recorded in more recent years and was looking forward to hearing more from some of those writers.

Never mind. It's still great that Meat is working on a new album and I will still be looking forward to its release and hearing what Meat's done with the songs.

nikox1 · 17 Feb 2014, 12:36

The album could be 2015 then? Boooo!!! I suppose with steinman involved it could be 2017??? 😃

Evil One · 17 Feb 2014, 12:57

Those other 8 songs are going to be very short. Or it will be a double CD album. Or some will be download only.

Hey Meat hope all is well :)

Wow - so the musical is still on? That's great news!

Can you say anything about the 6 songs - are they newly written, or what era did they come from?

~~~~~~. I guess Body is one song we'll never hear then.

Sebastian. · 17 Feb 2014, 13:26

2015 will be a good year.

Hi Meat, btw!

It's certainly got potential huh! (though 2014 ain't looking too bad either!)

Lots of good things to look forward to, very happy!

Well that contract really sucks if that's the case. This locking up songs in a cupboard hasn't done anyone any favours I think.
