I think it would be diplomatic and fair to say that Meat is the one who's done best versions of those songs...thus far. Would they or could they be done equal or better? you'd be wrong to totally dismiss the possibility.

I'm in agreement with Pudding because we are on the same wave length for once. Jim is fairly picky with who he works I'd say, and given his age and attitude these days I'm fairly convinced he won't be working with a different artist anytime soon. I won't dismiss it yet, but I'm not hopeful.

We could NEVER be on the same wavelength.

It's unlikely, but not impossible.

2077, the 100th anniversary of bat, well see something major. don't threat. ill still be alive (hopefully) to see it.

I don't expect a better version of Bat Out of Hell to EVER come out. It's just not possible to make it any better than it is right now. I do hope a better version of "Bad for Good" gets released though. It's a lost album in the music world, that had much more potential. If I don't get that I'd settle for a remastered copy of the same album.

the problem i have with the Bad 4 Good album is, that its done in a very campy style. and it badly needed Meats vocals. and the videos off it were yikes!!!

Sarge · 18 Sep 2010, 02:05

The videos were funny. Jim Steinman standing on that thing that was supposed to look like a rock, trying to make impressive gestures, the half-naked dancers...

Not necessarily, it could have been done with someone else.

The videos were stupid and as Daveake pointed out I'm not sure either why Steinman has an obsession with almost naked male ballet dancers. Not exactly an image that comes to my mind when I listen to his music.

Imo BFG would have been amazing when done with Meat's vocals from '83 onwards and would have probably sold millions and pretty much sealed the deal for more Meat/Steinman records if they at least could let management take a hike.

yea....

At least there is a girl in the videos. Or is it a Shemale.

Steve6 · 18 Sep 2010, 14:37

I agree the Bad for Good videos were very strange indeed, but what else would you expect from Mr Steinman? They looked cheap and tacky.

The Total Eclipse of the Heart video was done in a similar way but much much better. I've always questioned Jim's sexuality, and his music videos were very gay orientated.

Meat Loaf_fan · 18 Sep 2010, 21:53

Dance In My Pants
Rock And Roll Dreams
Bad For Good
Stark Raving Love
Surf's Up
Left In The Dark
Frying Pan
Lost Boys And Golden Girls
The Storm
Love & Death & An American Guitar

PS. Just imagine - this songs with Meat's voice (from 1984).

What a pity!

Can we keep this thread somewhere near it's intended topic please, thank you

I'd kill to hear Meat sing the original Left in the Dark and Surf's Up D: Even if it was with his Dead Ringer period voice (which really wasn't that bad, IMO), it'd be amazing

I wouldn't. His version of Surf's Up on Bad Attitude is brillant I was only listening to it in the morning. I think it's better than the one on BFG. Left in the dark on WTTN is solid enough probaly not as good as Jim version though; which was darker. I would like to hear the original RNR dreams that was recorded for Dead Ringer. I wonder how different it is from the one recorded in 1993, it had a different producer too.

You'll have to explain your theory in how you think Meat Loaf had recorded RnRD for Dead Ringer?

I'm assuming that it's in reference to Storytellers, where Meat says he swaped R&RD for another song (Dead Ringer For Love?).

He may have swaped the song, but thre is no indication he recorded it before swapping.
In fact, I rather doubt it.

So what? did he say he recorded it? You might swap a condom with a tampax, doesn't mean either one has been used

wow i accidentally deleted my second sentence:

"He also stated that it was ON the record. and that Jim came and wanted to trade"

I took it as he did record it.
