Meat Loaf Thanks, But there are some great records we have done . One of those the whole band listened to on an overnight ride . The Album. "Blind Before I stop" I had no idea How great that record was until about 5 nights ago. I also think "Hang Cool Teddy Bear " Is a Great record !! Of course , the New one is "BRAVER THAN WE ARE " M

Wario when he sees this!

The album has great moments. I'd definitely prefer it over Teddy Bear myself. The latter just hasn't resonated with me after a few listens again. Too many lyrics I just can't relate with I guess. Do quite like Peace on Earth and the left off Prize Fighter Lover is majestic.

I'm loving the remixes at the moment, for "Rock 'N' Roll Mercenaries", "Getting Away With Murder", and BBIS. They should be on a remastered CD.

The BBIS album is 30 years old. Crazy. I listened to it first time back in 93 I think.

Listening to Burning Down at the moment. It's great music in my opinion. Very creative and quite cool in places.

Bad Attitude, Bat 2, Blind, Bat, and HCTB are my top 5 meat records.
In that order.

BBIS is exceptionally underrated. Masculine is a JAM.

Every song except, in my opinion, Special Girl, is fun. I do have a soft spot for A man and a woman.

Burning Down, BBIS, R n R Merceneries, ED, I could go on. So good.

Glad Meat is in my boat.

They only appear on obscure LPs.

Rock n Roll mercenaries "Exploded Mix" is 11 minutes of redundant dance beats. ruins the song, tho the song sounds better not faded out.

BBIS's extended version just adds a small extra guitar part to the solo.

Getting Away with Murder is the best of the three, 7 minutes in length. Doesnt fade out either and that sounds great.

Anyone else like 'Special Girl' as much as I do? lol

A lot of great music has been forgotten, particularly the two Arista records.

I love CHSIB too, I think that album is underrated. And pretty much anything involving Meat & Jim together of course is very special, even tracks on Bat III

Great Album.. Blind Before I stop... and the first year I went to see Meat Live at the birmingham nec in 1987.. shy was the support (still got their cd... pretty crap).. my dad bought tickets and cost a mere 7.50 each stall standing.. we were in block d.

Great songs - especially live versions ("Live At Wembley").

Unfortunately it was underrated in 1986 and in 90's ... Anyway - I like it very much.

Few songs are potentially hits: "Blind Before I Stop", "Execution Day", "Getting Away With Murder", "Standing On The Outside". Which song I like the most? "Rock And Roll Hero" (you can see some lyrics, from that song, under my posts

).
