| Jim Steinman not only stole from the guy who wrote The Confidence Man (He stole lyrics for TFAWIUTB), but he also stole lyrics for PBTDBL from Star Wars. George Lucas nearly died while making Star Wars and Jim Steinman claims that some guy slit his wrists while listening to Left In The Dark (he probably wanted the torture of listening to Steinman singing to end, I much prfer Meat's Left In The Dark, but I hate Streisand's dull emotionless version) Now, if you compare the Star Wars poster art to the BOOH cover art, they may appear to be diferent, but if one looks closely, it becomes clear that Jim Steinman borrowed ideas from the Star Wars poster. Richard Corben decided to go along with Steinman's stolen concepts. George Lucas was instrumental in making BOOH. He dropped by the studio and gave his thoughts. He even got his special effects company, Industrial Light and Magic to produce special effects for the album. Steinman never talks about Lucas' involvement because it would make him look bad. Lucas doesn't talk about it because he thinks BOOH should stand on its own and not stand on his muscular shulders. Lucas met with Meat Loaf to discuss the vocal aspect of BOOH. Meat Loaf on Luas - "George is an amazing man, very talented and has an ear for good music" Lucas brought in John Williams to conduct the orchstra used for BOOH. Williams wrote the music and Steinman and Todd Rudngren added Meat's vocals later on in the production. Jim Steinman asked John Williams to come back for BOOH 2, but Williams was already comitted to other projects. Williams would ask Meat Loaf to sing and not yell, which he has a bad habbit of doing. This led to a no holds barred drag out knock down brawl between Williams and the Loaf. Steinman had to distract Meaty Loaf with a large pizza, allowing Williams to get back to his recording duties. Meat Loaf never talked to Williams again. In the early 90's Steven Spielberg asked Jim Steinman to write lyrics for his movie, Hook, Steinman agreed. However, problems quickly occured. John Williams didn't like Steinman's musical interferance. Spielberg would reluctantly ask Steinman to back out of the project. And the rest as they say is history. | |
