Kasim said last night that he is on some of the tracks of Meat Loaf's new album which is released later this year (and which Kasim thinks is a great album) and that he wished Meat Loaf all the best for his career.

My thought exactly, how good would that be

L96 · 20 Feb 2010, 16:02

Ah, no.... WHAT?

Evil One · 20 Feb 2010, 16:02

Extremely.

Kas was good But Please bring back Steve

Steve6 · 20 Feb 2010, 16:10

Who else? Buslowe rocks on bass guitar. Listen to his playing on live tracks done with Meat Loaf... he just nails it. He has to be first choice to replace Kasim, and he knows all the songs better than anyone too. The only thing is Buslowe is not a musical director.

Meat sounded better under Buslowe than he has for several years under Kasim. No knock at Mr. Utopia, but Buslowe arranged the music better to cover Meat's few weaker moments. My best to Kasim on his solo career, and I hope he isn't just holding a grudge because his song was rejected for HCTB. And here's my sincere vote for Buslowe coming back to the band!

AndrewG · 20 Feb 2010, 16:29

Sorry to see Kas go but I'll get over it, I wish him the best for his own career and bands etc. Only ever saw Steve Buslowe once with Meat and he was good. Doubt the replacement will be him (isn't he retired from music and found other line of work?) but you never know I guess. Plenty of talented bass players out there. I am more concerned with the music directing, but actually think Meat has a lot of that in hand himself anyway. We'll see what happens in the summer.

I wouldn't get too sad Sarah, he could be back just as quickly as he left. *Cough* Patti

Thanks, Steve and you are right

Im just a big Kasim fan, and it wont be the same without him!

I'm sad to see Kaz go. But I know that whoever Meat gets will be awesome, Meat's standards are soaring high. We've grown so accustomed to Kaz's stage sound when Meat performs. As well as, their friendship and comraderie after so many years is not replaceable.

Next chapter, Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Although sad in one respect, I'm looking forward to all the changes Meat has made. The bass player will be another change to the set. Re-inventing his wheels, sometimes willingly and sometimes unexpectedly as is this case.

Of course she'll be on the album, wasn't there a tweet where Meat was talking about a duett with Patti?

wolfy35 · 20 Feb 2010, 18:30

Kasim leaving is sad news indeed.

I would like either Buslowe to return or if that isnt possible it has to be someone who is at least a match for Kas & Buslowe. Someone like Stu Hamm for example

Whoever it is Meat's standards are so good that it will be someone worthy of joining the NLE

madagascar · 20 Feb 2010, 18:30

What about Chris Chaney, he appeared in some tweets, he's one hell of a bass guitar player.

Steve6 · 20 Feb 2010, 18:40

We could be in for a massive suprise and get a completely unknown bass player. I mean not many people would have of known of Paul Crook or Randy Flowers before they joined the band...and they blew us away with their guitar playing and talent.

Actually if he got in an unknown young bass player, it could also work out great ....But he'd have to be good. Meat has very very high standards. I'm sure we can all agree on that.

meatrocks1 · 20 Feb 2010, 18:41

Orianthi Panagaris would be awesome......she rocks hard like Paul

howlerformeatloaf · 20 Feb 2010, 18:43

Its a shame Kasim wont be there anymore. I wonder if the rest of the band will be the same.

meatrocks1 · 20 Feb 2010, 18:55

will CC be there????

lisa01 · 20 Feb 2010, 19:02

Wow that was a big shock to me i will miss kasim but i wish him all the best of luck with everything he dose in the futre

Evil One · 20 Feb 2010, 19:06

Another question is, with Kasim gone will one of the other band members be stepping up as musical director? If so, which one?

meatrocks1 · 20 Feb 2010, 19:10

My money is on Patti
