| I thought it was very disrespectful of Meat Loaf to do a Bat Out Of Hell album without Jim's involvement. He used Jim's songs but nothing that Jim had written for Bat 3. In the UK, Meat Loaf released "It's All Coming Back To Me Now", which was an old song that has already been a hit for Celine Dion and before that it was a Pandora's Box release. Also, Meat Loaf used another composer. Something he had already done with "Bat Out Of Hell Live", with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. If you went to your local concert hall to hear Beethoven's Ninth, you wouldn't expect the orchestra to stick five minutes of Chopin in between movements. I saw a documentary about Bat 3 and Meat Loaf and Desmond Child both praised Jim. But their actions are clearly different from their words. I think they may have paid lip service to Jim because they wanted viewers to think that Bat 3 was a Jim Steinman album. And their motivation for doing this was money. > > I live for the day though I doubt it will ever come when I > hear the words from Mr Loaf that it was a mistake to > release album in this way and call it Bat out of Hell. > | |
