Your questions for Meat - Page 2

No, it has to be a James Michael lyric. He's just going to have to hum it for us

Definitely album related to me. We hear so many stories about the making of Bat, even ones on Bat 2 I would love to hear. I heard it was a difficult album to make, for Jim to produce, and Meat to record the vocals. What was that like? When was the recording for Bat 2 actually started? Sorry, one wants to ask like fifteen questions here!! Stories on recording Blind before I stop? Bad attitude? Bad attitude was recorded at Abbey Road! How did it feel putting out Hang cool after the nightmare of Bat 3? I could go on and on and on really. Does anyone else wish Meat and Patti had done I Don't Want To Miss A Thing?

Thanks for the reply, Meat.

One I always think I'd give my eye teeth to hear you sing live is your version of Martha by Tom Waits. I always remember you speaking very highly of it on that MuchMusic special around the time Neighberhood came out.

And yup, James wrote you some incredible stuff. Hang Cool is most definitely my favourite non-Jim album you ever put out. Really feels like a complete album and statement.

Good day, Meat ...

I'm looking forward to the new album and especially the bonus song For What It's Worth... featuring the its composer, Stephen Stills....

How did it come about that you got together with Stephen ? Was this song selected because it seems still relevant to issues of the day ? When I hear it by Buffalo Springfield, I feel that it is ...

Thanks.

Sue ... xoxo

my random question for Meat, which is harder to conceive? the sequence, song choice, flow, feel of an album? or the live show?

I remember an intererview you gave for welcome to the neighbourhood where you were asked about sequencing a record, and you said you knew the sequence of the record before the songs were written.

Oooooo I know what I'd ask, what do you think of Brexit?

I think there are two questions I've always had

What lead movie character would you have liked to play if you could have had any role?

And if you could record any song by Jim that you haven't now done which would it be? And actually what non Jim song would you like to cover.

Ok so three questions I guess

roomster · 26 Jun 2016, 15:43

Is there any chance that we in the future can hear you sing the song What Part of My Body Hurts the Most?

Renegade Angel · 26 Jun 2016, 20:29

Why do you dislike/disregard your work in 80s? Deadringer, Midnight, Bad Attitude and Blind Before I Stop arn't bad albums.

nikox1 · 27 Jun 2016, 13:51

As an artist, is it one of the most fustrating things for you when the fans (a small percentage ) of course just don't accept a new style of song or a new style of singing?
I find that without change or thinking outside of the box the world would never achieve anything.

It Just came up Yesterday . Jim gave Michael Cole Producer of Jim's musical, the album to listen to on his fight from NYC back to Canada . Michael listened to 3 times , then ask this question ? Why didn't Meat do "WHAT PART OF MY BODY HURTS THE WORST " I have the answer but I can't write it here . Has nothing to do with Jim !!! I will most likely do it on the cast Album . M

Fire Ball · 30 Jun 2016, 10:18

It was Dusk and the hit a Electric Guide wire that he couldn't see , Him and the Camera man were both Killed . I had just gotten out of the Helicopter . M

Fire Ball · 30 Jun 2016, 10:23

In the end, you will know when its right to stop, and I guess I, or anyone here, would feel the same if they were doing something they love and were always being told to stop doing it. We'll be sorry to see you hang up your music boots but my god it's been a hell of a ride.

Do you have a favourite genre of film? I know you've done pretty much everything from horror to comedy.

Vickip · 30 Jun 2016, 14:03

Whatever happened to your Christmas album, "Hot Holidays" ? I would LOVE to hear you and Reba do a classic Christmas song together.

That's awful! Poor people.

You were so lucky just gotten out of the helicopter. You're like a cat I think, you have 9 lives! Or even more...

I really love the vocals on the album. They give everything a sense of realness - an album as you said would be like nothing else. Kudos to Justin on the background vocals which are just right as well.

I can't imagine people who think you would still sound the same after singing for all these years. I'd enjoy a live show in any format (audio, video, etc.) with your amazing current band and a new song or two.

I read that you said no more DVD's but how did you feel about the last one? Recording techniques are so amazing now. Any chance you may reconsider, maybe a CD if not a video?

OR ... maybe even a TV/Streaming 'special' (like AOL used to do, etc.) with a STORYTELLERS type vibe, where you play the ENTIRE ALBUM from beginning to end!!

I have always wondered that about Bat 2. Whenever you sang Anything for Love live and the other songs after the album release I always thought it sounded much better. More dramatic and powerful and deep rather than the studio vocals. (Not just because of key change etc)

Do love Bat 2 but wasn't a patch on the live stuff from that era because of the vocals.

If you really do BODY on top of Braver then you have my permission to retire.
