what artist do you think would suit meats music

greg · 27 Jul 2003, 17:19

hi, if there had to be an artist to sing meats music who do you think would do meats & steinman music justice. if i had to choose , do you know i cant think of one because meat is out there on his own , for me it would have to be steve steinman singer out of the meat loaf story , i can't think of anyone who is a pop star who could do it let me know yours , im sure there must be somebody

dottie · 27 Jul 2003, 17:28

Agree with you there Greg, Steve Steinman is magnificient, he remains his own person still, but brings to the audience a tantalising vision of Meat.

No one could ever compare to the real thing.

greg · 27 Jul 2003, 18:31

iagree with you neil there is no one you get so many other acts thats loads of covers are done but you don't ,get many who does meat covers do you , thats why i agree with dottie 2 the best i have seen is steve steinman who as had to study meat and it helps when you are a great fan 2 , but, its like this i went in to my local friday night the artist was on in the pub & he said come up and ask me what song you would like me to do , so after he's done about 8 songd of oter artist robbie williams garth gates etc etc , i went up and said in hes ear can you do me a meat track reply was in my ear your joking mate no one can do meat hes a legend mate hes to hard to do , in reply i said to him ENOUGH SAID

Danny L · 27 Jul 2003, 21:49

I agree,

Steve is a great ML tribute. Went to see him in Peterborough in March (?) and absolutely loved it. Can't wait to see him aghain (Might ask hjim if I can join as JIM STEINMAN - I have Ideas of how the show could be modified...) Not that i'm complaining!!

On his website it says he is putting together a musical called VAMPIRES OF ROCK. It contains many rock classics like Bat Out Of Hell (!), Living on a Prayer (Bon Jovi) and I Just Died In Your Arms Tonight (Guns 'n' Roses).

Sounds interesting

No other artist could possibly do justice to Meat's songs.

As regards Steve Steinman, his show is well put together and he does a reasonable impersonation of Meat. But Peat Loaf definitely gets my vote as he always gives that little bit extra. He gives his audience 110%, just like Meat does.

RichieBoy · 28 Jul 2003, 04:11

Good question big bruv, but i think the obvious answer has got to that no one can give the songs justice!

Steve Steinman puts on a good show but it depends on how you mean do the songs justice? Do you mean if the artist sounds the same as Meat or do you mean another artist who doesn't have the same vocal attributes but gives the overwhelming emotion?

If you mean by sound-a-like then Steve Steinman would probably come top for me.
But if you mean artists not trying to emulate Meat's voice then I would say Jon Bon Jovi, maybe even Marti Pellow as i think his voicce might suit a couple of the tracks.
But really without hearing any covers its hard to say.
And really it would be like finding gold in turd, to find any one who could be at Meats level!!

I believe it was Cutting Crew - Well thats version I have

greg · 28 Jul 2003, 22:25

thanks steve steinman for the email you sent me ,just goes to show you never know who is reading these message boards, but i now know steve steinman does, now your do for me to sing jims music & play the part of meat loaf

PanicLord · 28 Jul 2003, 22:57

Don't know if there is anyone who could sing as well, although Michael Ball does a good job of "Unsettled Scores" on the Whistle Down The Wind album. He's not very rock though

On a slight tangent, I've always thought Meat should do

a) Dance In My Pants
b) Let Me Entertain You (and Meat it up! - that would show that upstart Robbie how it is done!)

Certainly wasn't Dire Straits. Dottie's right it was Cutting Crew.

heat · 02 Aug 2003, 18:08

Wow..Pete..well...what can i say???

I've just listened to you bit on Radio Scotland, where you sang Took The Words and 2 Outta 3, and it was fantastic!!!!

I can't believe just how much you sound like Meat - and during 2 Outta 3, i could feel the hairs on the back of my neck prickling.

Had to laugh though - One moment you sounded like Meat, but when you were being interviewed you sounded just like Rab. C. Nesbitt

Hafta say that i didn't expect you to be so good, and i was very pleasently surprised
