How many people want meat to do Body, regardless what the contract says?

[Wario]

Here here!

[Breeze]

big ole YES to that

[roomster]

ME!

Just wrote this about it in another thread:

I LOVE this song and I wish I could hear Meat sing it... It would really be a dream come true.

To Meat:
Is there absolutely no little tiny chance to include a recording of this song on the new album?

[JennaG]

NO.

The contract exists for a reason and if Meat Loaf were to ignore it then who knows what kind of trouble he could get into.

[Monstro]

With all due respect Wario your career in the film industry is gonna be a bloody quick one if you think contracts are there to be ignored

[Evil One]

No. But he could wait and do it on the Bat musical soundtrack album.

[Monstro]

Good point

[GDW]

Get Justin Bieber to record it.

[Evil Ernie]

Maybe I'll record it and have a huge hit.

Tick tock Meat, Tick tock.

[glamourgirl]

I'm sure Meat has plenty of great songs to choose from.

You are right (probably).

Darn right! Would love to hear Meat's version of this awesome song and I'm sure the musical album would be a great opportunity to do it.

The contract makes it impossible without some major and no doubt expensive arrangements and of course Jim's willingness to go along with it. I suspect people have already paid Jim a tidy sum for the song and they must have plans for it, although I have to wonder if it will ever be heard in a proper version. It seems to be one of those endless "projects" that never seem to materialize.

[Cherry.Loaf]

I know he can't and won't break the contract but I'd love to hear him sing it one day

[lorenzoduke]

I should clarify I'm talking about the album, not Meat's career in general - I'm not stupid enough to think he'd throw his arms in the air and give up. Just still sad that Braver Than We Are won't be what it was originally intended to be, which was a lovely concept. And ignoring the contract would be moronic, incredibly shitty way to treat Jim, however good the song may be.

I wonder if it has more to do with the fact that the producers of the BAT musical have some of Steinman's songs under contract for the musical for a set number of years and then the contract expires. All this began in 2005 and perhaps it has a ten year shelf life, contract wise.
I was wondering why the date was pushed back to a 2015 release date. Now it could be that Steinman is working on new songs and thats how long it will take to finish them or perhaps there are songs from the BAT musical that will appear on Meat's album.
From that standpoint it would a brilliant way of showcasing Steinman's songs for the BAT musical if it ever does come to being an actual musical that is performed.

[CarylB]

I think it's more to do with Meat's schedule this year, plus possibly the inclusion of more Steinman songs than first anticipated

Your probably right

[Paul Richardson]

I'd love Meat to do Body (and all the other Steinman demos) last chance I fear ... !

That shouldn't be too far off then

You'd think that.
But on the other hand, perhaps they want to hold something back for themselves.
There are going to be plenty of songs in the musical that have been hits for Meat, so people going to the musical because they like Meat's work are already going to be well attracted.
I think there's mileage in the idea of having some Steinman material that you only get to see/hear is by going to the Bat musical.

[Fire Ball]

THis is all BS ... The song is under contract to the Musical .. Bottom line !! I am doing 8 other Jim songs .. Plus 6 more songs !! I don't even know why I bother to come here !!
You people assume way too much with no facts ,background, or why things happen !! You don't know the truth !! You hear rumors and believe them. I will not spread rumors !! Things happen for a reason and there are 2 sides to every story. You believe what you want !! Jim and I have been on line together for hours upon hours !! in the last 4 weeks !!
The album is going to be great ! If you don't like it , I don't really care anymore !! I come here to be with friends , but I find very few !!

Thanks for the information meat. Jokes aside - again what a stupid thread, really.

[TheDoode]

From what I can gather Meat everyone's REALLY excited about both the new Steinman songs AND the other songs, and are going mad waiting for the album! Maybe that's why there's so much talk and speculation
As for the rumours - who cares?? It's no big deal; there's no drama here. End of the day people will talk (me included), but so what? No one wants to put you down.

[Evil One]

8 Jim songs. That's pretty much a whole album's worth.

[Fire Ball]

Thank You !! Meat

The only reason people are speculating and listening to rumours (which I've also done), is because, well, that's all there is. No one's talking. But you have to realise that NO ONE is saying that that's what actually happened. To be honest, I don't really think half of us even care that much what happened.
