| Last time I checked it was on jimsteinman.com in the multimedia section as Metal Philharmonic - A Kiss is a Terrible Thing to Waste. It's also available on an ALW boxed set - Now and Forever. It isn't the same backing track as Meat's version; I actually prefer the instrumentation on Kyle's version (and the vocals, obviously! He absolutely nails it! One of my favourite Stein-performances EVER!). And apparently, they chose this version because it had the best drums - which suggests he did an EVEN BETTER vocal during that session! There are also rumours that Brian May did guitar overdubs on the demo. The guitar solo is much more dynamic than the Meat Loaf version. In general it has much more pace, depth, and intensity. Meat struggles to get through it vocally, and has to be padded out by backing vocals. Kyle does it effortlessly. I was so disappointed when I heard the Meat version. IMO the demo outshines it in every way imaginable. - Danny. > I think it might be over at Carpe-jugulum.
