| > I thought Jim didn't understand demo's - thats why they > performed BAT live when shopping it around. Meat says on the VH1 Storytellers album that 'you can't demo Bat Out Of Hell'. I take this to mean that Jim and/or Meat didn't want to send off a demo tape and wait, because it wouldn't do the songs justice. Especially as it is visual music - they were probably going for the whole effect: Meat singing, Jim thrashing at the piano, etc... >A) Who Demoed BAT II? (Jim and who) b) How many > demo's? C) How many Meat Loaf Out takes / alternate > recordings / versions? I heard/read that some time late 80s/early 90s Jim and Meat got together and ended up doing the whole of Bat I with Jim on piano. Maybe they didn't demo Bat II, or at least not record the demos. If Jim knew what he wanted from the record and had Meat there already, they could've just started recording. If Bat II was written specifically with Meat in mind, then they wouldn't need other demo singers. >I know the first line in Anything > For Love was pasted together from 54 takes - and Jim drove > Rink nutty searching through all of them to find the > peices that he craved. Wow, didn't know that. Excess at it's best! I'm sure no one would disagree that it was worth it! > Also if Jim were to release a demo, for sake of > conversation it can't be an unknown song, what demo would > you request? I'd want Kyle's Demo of BODY! Yeah I'd love to hear a full Steinproduced version of Body - didn't Kyle had done one but I really like TDE's version from Joe's Pub Feb '06 - Rob Evan sings it really well I think. > | |
