Feel free to shoot me down but I really don't like Pandora's Box, I've tried, honest to god I've tried but even with Holly Sherwood as guest vocalist (pretty good Bonnie imitation lol) on GGGTH I just can't.

Ahh the 80's - when music videos to Jim Steinman songs were just crazy!

All that time money and effort put into Pandora's Box, yet very little promotion and no live performances, it was Jims greatest failure in my opinion.

depends on how you view failure i suppose... was it a bad album or a great album???

or was it a commercial failure??

if it was a commercial failure, was that due to the promotion or lack off??

had that been sucessful would we have got bat 2?


as bat2 is my fave, jims failure was my win

The Steinman tracks on Original Sin are all top notch, but the album has far too much filler on it. Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young and Nowhere Fast should have been recycled on it instead.

Not selling a lot of copies after a small fortune had been spent on it and it being a great album, well two thirds of it was great

haven't seen that gggth video for a while but it does bring images of some warped prison exercise vids...with all those so called celebs making a workout vid whenever they lose half a stone (airbrushing it to look like 5 stone) I'm surprised the idea hasn't been produced yet!

As for Pandora's box, i prefer that version of iacbtmn to any otherand have always liked prey lewd. The future ain't what it used to be knocks spots off meat's version and it just won't quit runs a close second to Meat's version.

The rest is sounding a little dated now, which is why I think meat has never recorded safe sex

Although I so like the Pandora's Box album, it's not a patch on Bat II

My Jim list goes something like:

Bat 1
Bat 2
Dead Ringer
Original Sin
VBO songs
Bonnie Tyler stuff
Bad For Good
English TDV stuff

I can't get excited about things in a language I can't understand, no matter how good the music is. I love most of the songs on BFG, but Jim's vocals aren't the best and it sounds a bit dated now, as do most of Bonnie Tyler's songs.

I love the Pandora's Box album although it brings back memories of GCSE's ho-hum....I remember buying kerwrong! mag as I did back then and eventually realising that it was bloody Steinman on the cover!!! That album is so film-esque and completely over the top in every respect and yeh I agree it does have too much filler on it does have the best versions of the songs that were later re-cycled. RAW magazine(ha) ran a news story saying that Meat Loaf was gonna tour in 1990 with Pandora's Box opening but as we all know that never happened. A rock n' roll wet dream that is like!!!

I love the Jimmy Iovine story at the end, re. "the kid in Wisconsin". Steinman seemed so genuine in his dedication to "the kid".
