You people assume way too much with no facts ,background, or why things happen !! You don't know the truth !! You hear rumors and believe them. I will not spread rumors !! Things happen for a reason and there are 2 sides to every story. You believe what you want !! Jim and I have been on line together for hours upon hours !! in the last 4 weeks !!
The album is going to be great ! If you don't like it , I don't really care anymore !! I come here to be with friends , but I find very few !!

I can see why you got choked up Meat, its ok it happens yo

[Tina.K.]

I really don't care which songs will be on the album.

I'm convinced the new album will be superb! I'm so happy and thankfull that Meat (and Jim and the other writers) will give us a new album. IMO that is the best gift an artist can give his fans. Let's all be grateful that the man we all admire for his art is at 66 still working his ass off to satisfy our souls!
Meat, thank you for working on a new album and for being so interactive with us! You're really unique!

One more than on Bat, which is funny to think about.

Plus six more has me wondering if this is going to fit on one disc.

He'd make it entertaining!

[Breeze]

I just saw this thread and read it about an hour ago, came back and it appears to have been edited, I think. He talked about songs and said he had sent a demo to Jim.

What gives?

[Breeze]

never mind, wrong thread. duh

[Fire Ball]

It's a different title and much better than what you know as "Braver Than we Are " Be open and don't get locked in !! learn to grow and learn !! Don't be stuck in a hole !! WOW !! Change is good !! M

Just still sad that Braver Than We Are won't be what it was originally intended to be, which was a lovely concept. And ignoring the contract would be moronic, incredibly shitty way to treat Jim, however good the song may be.

Well I'm glad it's changed, I posted a while back that in it's former form , braver may not have suited meat?

[Fire Ball]

It's karla, Ellen and me singing the song !! That alone make it a classic . You have been listening to it as a broadway arrangement . Forget That version !!!

I like The Lazy Song, the one with Leonard Nemoy in the video.... epic.

I like Bruno too!

[Mr. Happy]

If Bruno Mars or anyone similar does What Part of My Body, it'll be one of the greatest musical atrocities ever committed He's good at what does (writing disposable pop songs), but giving an artist like that a song like this...

...well. I guess it's still better than having it sit in a vault where no one can hear it.

Braver Than We Are (/Erection of the Heart/Going All the Way Is Just the Start/whatever it's called now) has me so psyched, though. I was listening to one of the live versions from the Dream Engine concerts in 2006 last week some time, and I had shivers...and that was done with just piano and vocals, and it's not the greatest quality recording either. I'm dying to hear Meat do it with it's new, less Broadway arrangement

Thanks for all the snippets of info about the album, Meat 2015 is too far away

[nikox1]

I doubt Bruno mars will do it? Lol, but maybe somebody else who is popular at the moment

If you look at pop/rockmusicals in Europe, the people who get the roles are always popsingers. We Will Rock You had nothing to do with rockmusic. Including rehearsed headbanging and rock/metal fingers sign. It was just hilarious to see because it didn't fell right. The only time I saw a rockperson sing in a musical it was Ricky Wilson from the Kaiser Chiefs in War of the Worlds. He was awesome by the way. So be prepared!

I said I saw. I never saw them in a musical. There are more, I know. But they are a minority.

[loaferman61]

I understand what Meat is saying although I'm not a Bruno fan. I'm sure commercial considerations by the producers or investors might carry some say in wanting someone young and "hip", and we all know Meat has famously said he never wants to be "hip".

However, I must say that in my opinion that song was written for Meat and would be absolutely an epic if he and Jim ever recorded it.

I wonder if Jim has anyone in mind to record it?

Who's to say Jim has any control over who records it? Once those in charge of the musical have had their way, there's nothing to stop Meat putting out a version anyway.

Bruno Mars is fantastic! His Super Bowl performance would have been much stronger had they not included the Red Hot Chili Peppers. The climax of the performance with Bruno solo mid-field was a moment of musical drama for the ages. The kid can put on a show and has a voice that is phenomenal.

[Wario]

Still nothing could compare to 1987 Meat Loaf singing Body..... no matter how good Bruno is
