Then again CC is hot and Aspen looks like a pocket > dynamo. Well, I'm hoping Jim hasn't retired yet - even as a songwriter (rather than producer/arranger etc) I hope he keeps going for a good few years yet as he's obviously still got a shedload of ideas that I want him to put into fruition. I'm not holding my breath on any of these given Jim's track record, but I'd settle for the odd new bit of Steinman leaking out once in a while... As for Meat - I know what you both mean. I'm still in two minds about the show I saw in Bristol in June. Half of me wishes I hadn't gone and witnessed how bad he can be these days, but half of me remembers 'Land of the Pigs' (which certainly wasn't pre-recorded on the night that time around at least) and the awesome 'Bat...' to close the show. Then I remember the shocking performance of 'Took the Words...' (I truly CAN'T explain how bad that was!) and 'Anything For Love'. Personally, I'd rather take the rose-coloured view and remember what Jim and Meat gave us when they were together - Jim's wonderful songs, vision and direction, and Meat's amazing voice, at times one of the finest I have ever heard. When we're all carping and arguing on here about who screwed who, who did what, who should retire etc etc - I like to chill out, put on 'For Crying Out Loud' and remind myself why that is the most perfect piece of recorded music I have ever heard. Even if they'd both done nothing after making that, it would still be more than many achieve in a lifetime. | |
