It's interesting... The '88 shows seem to imply that Jim and Meat had some earlier BAT II happening. i.e. "Original Sin" (with some different lyrics) and "Bad For Good". But then Jim did "Pandora's Box" and Meat insists that most of the songs were written for him. But between a cover of "Bad For Good" and "I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)", not to mention the other originals which are amazing, I'd definitely choose the latter. If "Bad For Good" was on BAT II, it would have surely kicked out one of the new ones. I also think "Bad For Good" and "Anything For Love" serve the same purpose in "Neverland". We may hear it again in "Bat Out Of Hell" The Musical. According to the US Copyright page, "Bad For Good" was to be included in "Bat Out Of Hell 2100", the 90s Neverland screenplay. > It's just hit me that I wish Bad For Good was on Bat 2.
