Meat Loaf on Twitter - Page 57

RSG · 19 Oct 2009, 03:13

I have been thinking the same thing! Groovy!

Dave · 19 Oct 2009, 17:16

Overall, I am liking what I am hearing from the extremely short clippets we are being teased with on Twitter. Further, I am more than thrilled that Meat Loaf has chosen to actually invite us on the journey with him.

As for what the album may or may not sound like, and coming from the angle of a person who believes that Couldn't Have Said It Better and Welcome To The Neighborhood are two of Meat Loaf's strongest albums...this seems to be shaping up to be quite a remarkable piece of work.

I will fully admit that I blocked out most of Bat Out Of Hell III. I just could not get into the project. It seemed far to "pressured" for my taste on a lot of counts. However, the stand out songs on the album (Blind As A Bat and Alive) were surprisingly not Jim Steinman tunes.

I am only speaking for myself when I say this, but I am quite glad that Meat Loaf is finally working and making another Meat Loaf album for people who appreciate Meat Loaf.

To me, the "Meat Loaf Sound" is very diverse and unique from song to song-album to album-show to show. As an artist, he is about more than just over the top theatrical rock and roll. We have seen his style change with the years. Take his live shows as a prime example, and I am going to skip around a bit, the Born to Rock Tour was very melodic and theatrical, as was the Couldn't Have Said It Better and Three Bats/Seize The Night Tours; however, tours like Just Havin' Fun, Hair of the Dog, and Casa de Carne were all about rock and roll. I am glad he is able to switch it up from time to time.

I would like to thank Meat for taking the time to let us in on the creation process of what is sure to be one amazing rock album!!!

Heard start of track two, sounds good. Sharp and concise vocals are nice. Strong and drama building music. Very positive!

Thanks Suzie, I'm glad they extended it as I was away on the weekend and wouldn't have been able to vote. I voted for Meat in as many categories as I could.

Thanks everyone for your coments about what I had to say. I was apprehensive about posting my thoughts, as I knew they would ruffle a few feathers. Let me say that I consider myself to be a Meat Loaf fan, a Jim Steinman fan, as well as a fan of the work that Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman have created together. However, and I realize I am in the minority here, my favorite Meat Loaf songs - the ones I find myself turning to over and over again - tend to be newer songs in his cataloge that were not written by Jim Steinman. However (again); I do appreciate the work Meat Loaf has done with Jim Steinman over the years. To me, the song Couldn't Have Said It Better ressonates more with my ear and with my soul than I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do that). I know there are a lot of people who do not like the song Do It, but I found it to be a nice new sound for a Meat Loaf album. Yes, the lyrics are quite difficult to wade through, but it works (at least to me). I find that upon listening to the Bat Out Of Hell II album, I am left wtih the feeling that Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) and Everything Louder Than Everything Else and It Just Won't Quit [**side note, one of my fave songs of all time] all sound relatively similar to my ear. Personally, I like the vastly different sounds (again to my ear) we are provided by having multiple songwriters on the Welcome To The Neighborhood and Couldn't Have Said It Better projects.

I am so excited about this upcoming project, due to the multiple song writers working on the projects and due to the idea that Meat Loaf is taking on a new, more powerful and more hard rocking sound on this album. I personally hope that this really is an album meant to be listened to loud, in your car, and with the windows rolled down! One of my favorite live Meat Loaf experiences was the shortened version of I'd Do Anything For Love from the Hair Of The Dog tour, when the song just rocked. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing like a Meat Loaf power ballad, but I personally think that an album that just thrashes from start to finish would be amazing.

Looking forward to what this new adventure (album) has to offer Meat Loaf fans everywhere and hoping any new ventures in the way Meat Loaf sounds will bring even more fans into the mix!!!

I have to say that I think there is something wrong with your ear!

We all do not hear things in exactly the same way. That is part of the wonder of being a human and capable of rational thought.

Nothing "wrong" with my ear, just how I hear things. May not be how you "hear" things, but does not mean there is anything "wrong" at all.

Next???

Evil One · 21 Oct 2009, 21:58

Have you tried using the other ear?!

True. That's why I get strange looks when I tell people I don't like Star Wars!
