HOLY CRAP!!! I was just thinking "wow this sure sounds like a Queen song". Sure enough I scroll down and see yall had the same idea. I guess great minds think alike. Awhile ago I depated with my friend what style of music Queen was, I would classify it as rock opera for sure.
You guys bring up brian may... did he do this song or something? The fandango you're right those 3 making an album would be on a whole nother level than any other music realesed.
I am fairly certain, Meatloaf is god on earth. His voice is the greatest ever heard. One day he will be shooting with the stars and flying with the angels. My car, meatloaf all the time!!!
I'm a huge Meatloaf fan but this is Jim Steinman's song to sing. I continue to enjoy every sing that Jim sings on "Bad For Good." What an amazing lyricist Jim is....
your arguing over this song but jim wrote it for meat and was left with no choice to record it himself when he lost his voice for 2 years, i have the bad for good album by jim and i loved it and still do but loved to finally hear meat doing it like he was meant to.
i went to see the 3 bats concert and people around me couldnt understand why i knew this word for word
maybe because i'm a real fan and not just a bat 1, 2 or 3 fan
Now i am a huge meatloaf fan,have been since 1977,but for anyone to say this is better that the original with jim steinman i think are on drugs,when bat out of hell 2 came out and i saw all the old songs/remakes on it i really did feel like a lemon and wanted my money back,and hatstalker what a stupid thing to say,meatloaf would not have existed without jim steinman nd bonnie tyler is famous only because of jim steiman who is a song writing genius.
@jambo68 please remember that jim made this songs for meatloaf is more a package deal they are like peanutbutter and jam together is explosive but they work for separately too meat has very good albums alone and he sings this song the way it was intented for him just increible !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
I dont see how anyone likes the steinman version better. All of his versions are too "soft" in fact this song could use a grittier or dirtier production. Something in the vein of heavy/power metal. The lyrics, references, passion and feeling require the metal/ opera sound. Tho Jim is a great lyrical songwriter his sound just does not cut it for his tunes. These are rock/heavy metal balladesque type lyrics they do not work in soft/pop sound. IMO I think these songs may need to be amplified!
no, and that is why bonny tyler and meatloaf are more famous than him, jim writes songs and plays piano well and can sing, but no where near as good as meatloaf
He ain't done yet will have another albom mid 2010.saw 3 bat tour in boston. BEST CONCERT I'VE EVER BEEN TO!!! SO FAR MY FAVORITE ALBUM OF HIS AND HAVE THEM ALL EVEN A FEW RARE (BLIND BEFORE I STOP MIDNOGHT AT THE LOST AND FOUND AND MORE..)
its a pity meat couldnt record this back when it was written for him, this is good but it wold have been so much better if he had done it in his prime
I think the Meat is terrific.. Rock on!
