his name is James Michael, the writer of the song. Now we have the prove that at least Steinman is replacable,

Are you f*cking sick or so???? Replace Steinman??? You don't know what you are talking about!!!
Ofcourse, there are great writers, but no one comes even close with Steinman!!!

This thing you said.....well, HELL NO man!!!

You're so funny with your jokes. Everybody knows that Steinman isn't replaceble. Meat also isn't replaceble. Both as one team is the best.

I still don't think this is the song to make a comeback, because you miss the Steinman style. This song you understand. A Steinman is very difficult to understand.

About the lost boys and golden girls tour. I have two bootlegs of that tour. Birmingham (complete) and Vienna (complete). Send me an e-mail or private message if you want info about them.

Bart · 29 Jan 2003, 14:46

you have to admit that the more you hear it the more you're gonna love it and i don't miss Jim Steinman on this song. It's as good as his songs.
And it's gonna be a hit. I am damn sure about it. I think they expect that it will be a hit too. ZDF is really promoting the song and the album i think. there were also a bunch (20 or so) of violins players whenn he did the song on Wetten Dass and he was presented bij Gottschalk (host) as a superstar. The concert he did last monday was also sponsorde bij ZDF.
i think the strategy is to conquer Europe from Germany.

Bart · 29 Jan 2003, 15:04

How the hell do i send you a private e-mail. How this thing works?

An about Jim Steinman: off course he's not replacable, but i meant that i don't miss him in this song and it's equally good. i am sorry that i have made some people angry around here. I am a fan myself since 1984, so do'nt tell me how to understand Jim Steinman songs!!

No hard feelings i hope

Many non-steinman songs are good. Also this song. But Meat needs to make a comeback, and I think that it is impossible without Jim. So I think the song will sell good. But I think his real comeback will be with Bat III.

Personally, I can't say whether this album or any of its songs will be better or worse than anything that Jim Steinman might have written. I'm going to wait until I hear the whole album before making that sort of judgement. I think Jim Steinman is a great writer, but I'm not going to be his ass kisser.

Bart · 31 Jan 2003, 11:02

how you guys can handle all these mailconversations. this conversation was suddenly missing for a couple of days and now it's back.

ML don't need a comeback. he was never gone. and if it is not a hit then it is not a hit. who cares. if it is good then it is good, that's the most important thing.

R. · 31 Jan 2003, 15:27

Bart,

how familiar are you with forums like this? You might want to read the FAQ (link top right corner).

Michel · 31 Jan 2003, 20:41

Everybody knows that Meat was never gone, but his albums in the eighties didn't sale as good as BOOH. Made had a great comeback with I'd Do Anything For Love. And all the non-meat fans know this song. That's why he needs to make a comeback with a song just like I'd do anything for love. That all people know that song about 20 years.

I think it'll do better over here. I'll buy every copy I see if i have too! :P

Bart · 12 Feb 2003, 14:02

after long, long searching i have found this topic again!!! Where it was the past week.

for myself, i do not care if nobody knows the new single. the only thing that's important to me that'it will be great!
i was a fan in the 80-s and i was all alone out there. nobody ever heard of ML and JS at the time booohooooohooo..

I know what you mean, still on my own, no friends of me like ML.....so still not fun!!

But, i've heard the long version, yes, got the single, and that one is great. In the short version a whole part is missing, to bad. Finaly, Tim starts to like the new song!!!

tbuck · 13 Feb 2003, 03:55

Ahh, but Tim, though I'm new here ( but long-time lurker) and it sure looks like you have some friends here that like ML!

I felt much the same way you did about DIST. My wif

e liked it a lot, but I just thought it was OK. Then it started to grow on me. Then I heard the full length version and I loved it!

We also bought the single from Amazon.de. I really like Decadent Wish too. This album ought to be kick azz!

Cult Of Byron · 16 Feb 2003, 15:43

IMHO Did I Say That? is textbook Steinman. It has all the familiar hooklines, melodies and lyrical references (if some of these sound a little cliched), but that is not to take anything away from this song because once the second verse starts up, the old tingles return. Am I right in thinking that Jim hasn't written any completely new songs since the 4 he wrote for Bat 2?

Anonymous · 19 Feb 2003, 07:32

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to say that I absolutely love the song "Did I Say That".
I think that the song was a perfect fit for Meat Loaf and was an excellent choice for the albums first single.
I think James Michael is a very talented songwriter. You should check out his website at Luxuride.com, you'd all be amazed at all the music he's written as well as the artists he's collaborated with.
I'm was thrilled when I heard the song!!!!!!!!!! Love It

Meat - You Rock Dude!

Lady B · 22 Feb 2003, 21:53

I'm responding to this as I sit here listening to my brand new copy of DIST that has both album & AC versions on it (as well as Decadent Wish). Just received in the mail today.

I absolutely LOVE the song!!! There are pluses to both versions and I have seen the video for it as well. As a rule, I'm one who goes for the album cuts of anything if for no other reason than the song just goes longer and I like to soak 'em in. Ahhhhh . . .

I like the AC version but not really the ending. If the ending of the Album version were to wind up the AC version it would be better. I don't really care for it just ending. Maybe I wouldn't feel that as much if I hadn't heard the extended one but I think it just would tie up the ending nicer. Thoughts anyone?

Either way, the darn thing has been going through my head ever since I first heard it. Snippets in my head at work (so much for focusing), snippets in my head when I'm supposed to be trying to sleep and they keep me up at night 'cuz I can't get rid of them . . . (thanks a whole heap for that one Meat. I love you but I do need to get some sleep! Pleeeeeze? LOL)

Have to say tho' that several times as I watched & listened to DIST thoughts of what happened in the end to Anything For Love (meaning awards) came to my mind. I refuse to jinx the song by saying the word but it felt like that caliber of song to me. That says a lot for me 'cuz altho' I've been a fan since Bat & 2 Outta 3 and love anything the man does, Anything is my absolute fav song. There's power in the song and I feel it in DIST ~ either version.

'nuff rambling . . .

"And I need some sympathy here
I need someone to call my own. . ."

BTW . . . Tear Me Down was also one Meat did this summer in concert and it DID kick you know what! Can't wait for the album!

you took the words right out ouf my mouth. Did I Say that rules and rocks!!!!

Bart · 25 Feb 2003, 14:58

Look here, finally someone else who is saying it just sounds like Jim Steinman. Nou we are several weeks later after the release and i think the song is to become a real classic one. at least it will be for me. it is getting better and better. after 55 years the fat guy still rocks like there is no tomorrow

Nobody can write like Jim! That is impossible!
But the song is very good, especially the long version!
