Didn't particularly like the change of focus myself, I prefer the original which isn't about love but temptation, tempting Abronsius (with knowledge) and Alfred (with Sarah). I very much doubt there'd be a lot of love coming from Krolock. Sarah is only there to feed him and subsequently will join the undead and would crawl out of the cementary with the other vampires at the next ball while he looks for another victim. Also it lacks a whole lot of my favourite lyrics in the show. For some reason, the change is already in the Vienna section of Tanz der Vampire: http://www.jimsteinman.com/vlyrics.htm | |
