This album should have been called "Renegade Angel" who knows what the songs could have been like had the song book not being stolen. Some thief is sitting at home with Jim Steinman's lost works. It's probaly hidden in some attic never to be found again.

This album should never have been recorded by Jim. He shouldn't have been so impatient and waited until Meat was ready. He couldn't have been short of a bob or two.

But I believe it was the record company, not Jim himself, that was rushing production. The Record company wasn't patient and Jim was under contract. its still one of the most tragic stories in music history. This album had so much potential. Last edited by Wario; 10 Sep 2010 at 20:22. |

The record company had Dead Ringer to keep them happy. I think BFG was just arrogance on Jim's part.

Jim is a good singer, but he was no where near as good as Meat Loaf. I liked BFG for what it was, but it could have been better. Meat from my understanding hated all the songs on Bad for Good when he heard them at the time. Even though he did record most of them in later years. |

Jim DIDN'T have to record Bad For Good at all. As Evil One mentions, it was arrogance on Jims part that he did. |

But Meat WAS to record BFG. He even recorded a few tracks..but his voice was shot, and he had a nervous breakdown. This was all well documented as you know, and Jim had to step in and fill his shoes.

I think I've read Jim give the answer as option one, but I would suspect a bit of option two must have came into it. Jim has always played the waiting game with everything else.
