| I'm with Smeg on this. What exists in Jim Steinman's head is almost certainly joyous, wonderful, dangerous and alternately dark and light to extremes. Unfortunately, the artistic process of getting what's in the artists head into material form can be arduous, (perhaps impossible sometimes, to get it just right, especially for the best artists; hacks have it much easier, of course.) and I think Jim especially has a hard time giving birth to his ideas. The "Bat III" that Jim envisioned would probably never have happened if it were left to Jim to actually write all the lyrics to all the song title. And then the music, and produce them, etc. Thats a lot of work, and, well.... Let's just hope the stage show happens and it offers us enough new material - 2 or 3 songs, maybe - to satisfy. > Sorry Ryan... it is Bat 3. Jim agreed to let them use the > name.
