He's shaking too much aswell, he needs to focus more on the voice. Bringing up and out the vocals, and holding the note. It would sound a lot more clear that way.

What I hear is:

Let's be in love, Let's be in love, Let's go upstairs until we've both had enough

For me .. words sound interesting, voice sounds like the Meat I love, and for me it's the passion in his delivery which makes it Meat.

It's a fragment from a recording, and I thank him for it. Makes me look forward to being able to get the album, play it, ride the wave with him again, and look forward to riding it at a live concert :)

Wow.

If those are actually the lyrics, this is gonna be a really different turn for Meat. Goodbye, subtlety!

**RadioMaster** · 23 Jul 2009, 18:20

subtlety as in "surf's up, so am I"?

Tend to agree, subtley and Meat lyrics don't really go together do they?

"I want to take you in the backseat now and slowly drive you home"

And talking of driving home, think I'll do that so I can catch up on all the Twitter updates I've missed.

Leapt into my mind immediately Andy .. closely followed by ..

"I can't forget the feeling of your sweat against my skin
And the trembling of your body on the day you let me in
It happens once, only once, in a lifetime ..."

To be any more explicit you'd need to tie it to a flying brick .. lol ..

It was nice to see a clip of Meat singing though nonetheless

Edit: I just listened to it again and the lyrics sound a little dull to me. I wonder if it is really something that's going to be on the album or a joke.

The melody reminds me of his "David, David, oh David" song.

I agree with the above...also there's nothing to say that it will be the finished vocal used for this particular song...could easily be a guide track or a take

but either way i hope that it's better then the vid cause I know meat can do better than that.

Thanks. That would make sense although such lyrics don't knock my socks off. As for the passion, it sounds a little forced and tense to me (more acting like singing) and the Meat I love does not mumble.

I still hope it's a hoax. Well, it's just 15 seconds, I'll wait and see what he'll sound like on the CD... Why do I suddenly feel the urge to listen to Bob Dylan?

Maybe, depends on the cat.

to be fair, he knew there was a camera filming him, so he might have just wanted to give us a little taste of his acting

YouTube Video

I don't think you're a saboteur if you don't like something, you're expressing an opinion and after hearing the final cut, I still don't like it.

However, that's a small part of a larger song which inturn is one song off an whole album. I don't think anyone has used that tiny part and said the whole album is crap, so Meat needs to chill a little methinks.

Sarge · 24 Jul 2009, 02:54

For a second I thought MeatGrl1 was back.

He's right regarding what he says about artists usually not leaking much about the recording process. I guess one of the reasons why they don't do it is because of what's happened right now. Some people might not like what they hear, express a "negative" opinion and that might disturb the artist.

I appreciate that we get to see and hear a lot but I don't think that obligates me to suck up and claim I like something if I actually don't.

I listened to it several times and I really tried to like it but in vain, I'm sorry. I have been listening to his music for many years and that particular piece just sounds different (to me) and not as good as I expect Meat Loaf to sound like.
I usually like his singing, even on songs that I consider rather weak (he has the ability to make even such songs sound interesting and special) and I liked every bit of music I've heard in the videos so far but this is the first one I'm not overly excited about.
Don't know what the entire song sounds like, maybe I'll like it? There are some songs on the Beatles' White Album that I don't like to listen to, yet the album as a whole is one of my favorites.

I might not like what I heard on those two clips but others do, so what's the problem? People sometimes disagree on certain issues, that's normal.

Well, I understand that he's pissed off because he puts a lot of effort in it and wants people to appreciate his work. It sometimes appears as if he pays more attention to negative comments than to positive ones (but then again many people tend to do that).

Anyway, calling long-time fans "saboteurs" and "amateur vocal coaches" is just not fair.
Even if people say something that appears negative - it shows that they care about what the artist is doing. (!)

I'm here to discuss certain Meat Loaf related topics with other fans because I'm honestly interested in the music, the movies etc. (and I'm glad that some members of this forum often disagree with me on certain issues, this is what makes this place interesting). I'm not here to be a kissass.

No need to get angry, we're all interested in your work and we appreciate the little vids. None of us is a "saboteur", we just like to talk about a piece of work, sometimes we agree, sometimes we disagree.

If I'll be called a "saboteur" from now on, so be it. I can deal with it, I'm a big girl and I have a thick skin.

But do I really wanna hear my favorite artist dishing out insults?

Anyway, I'm looking forward to the album in spite of what's happening right now and I hope everybody will calm down.

In case this doesn't make any sense, blame it on the fact that it's pretty late (or early). Even night owls like me get tired sometimes.

It appears that way more often than not

I still like my Meat, it'll take more than a cranky video to turn me vegetarian

Ditto.

Being a Meat Loaf fan is not easy sometimes but I'll be hanging on.

I had to laugh when I watched the video a second time. He manages to be entertaining even in that video. Although I don't like what he said, there's something about his temper that amuses and impresses me, LOL.

cowboy · 24 Jul 2009, 08:11

please don't hang on anymore .

cowboy · 24 Jul 2009, 08:20

this is a great record , the song I played ,6 bars of, is a great song. so those of you who don't want to HANG ON, please go to Justin timberlake. or someone else. I've been giving you some updates and the minute I bring a song into play . You have to judge it without enen hearing the whole song shame on you. After you hear the record and you don't like it, so be it. Can't you be postive for a chnage . Must you judge on what is just fun. let things just roll, stay postive . WHY SAY OH I DON'T LIKE THAT! HOW THE ~~~~ DO YOU REALLY KNOW. THOUGHT I could come back here and talk. I Can't

Eh?

If you didn't want people to express an opinion on it then why put it up? Obviously you must have realised it was going to get talked about. And for the most part people have said that they like it and a few - A FEW - have said that from what they've heard they're not keen...so far...

To quote me "However, that's a small part of a larger song which inturn is one song off an whole album."

cowboy · 24 Jul 2009, 08:57

Pudding how can you have opinion over 6 bars of a song. That is just me and a rough track. That is saying you don't like ice cream from looking at it.

cowboy · 24 Jul 2009, 09:35

Pudding,
I didn't put the video up to be judged. I put it up in the same spirt as all the others I've posted. It was a spur of the moment thing. Just thought people would have fun . Not knowing I was going to get , I DON'T LIKE IT, SAYING "HE IS SHAKING". I'VE BEEN SHAKING WHEN I SING SINCE 1968. I PUT IT UP ONLY FOR FUN. I see now I can't just have fun with the people who say they are fans. JUST ALL IN FUN. Can't you wait till the record is out. Just go with the flow and watch what is meant to be off the cuff , FUN. It is never thought out . it just happens. I can't play anymore music. BECAUSE IT WILL BE JUDGED, my bad. So I won't. Sorry to the ones who enjoy it . I am not asking you to kiss my ass just enjoy the fun. I guess I was just excited because it is going so good and I haven't sung this well since the 70's. I am just stupid in the ways of the world. I am always shocked and amazed. I know I don't like beets because I tasted one. Why do people have to always judge. How can you have an opinion over 6 bars. it is impossible.

Thought the vocal coaching nonsense posted in this thread (at the top of the page) was patronising and it probably has taken the "opinions" out of context I reckon. Sue me but if I was a mod here the vocal coaching post would have been gone in a heartbeat.

Hope you will keep posting the music Meat. I like it and I'm sure most others here do as well.

snowy · 24 Jul 2009, 10:00

Please don't stop posting tasters of the album. Your tweets have become addictive!
Life would be extremely boring if everything stayed the same - I relish the changes and differences and probably wouldn't be such a big fan if all your music was the same as some groups are these days.
Keep it up - next April cannot come soon enough!
