No problem. I am eagerly looking forward to hearing The Batman Song. "I'll Decorate The City In Ribbons Of Blood", all versions, has been downloaded a combined 361 times. I don't know about you but I think that's excellent. I try my hardest with the sites but they're never complete. I can't wait for the day that I "return the favour" with DON CLAUDE. We have 8 fully produced songs (and a score that's 70% complete) with sessions that excelled at over 120 tracks (Which is fairly epic for our liking.) "The Dark Side Of Paradise", the climactic song, also contained my tribute to Milton, Hieronymus Bosch and Jim Steinman all rolled into one. It goes from "Bat 2" Steinman and Toto on morphine to Pink Floyd "Interstellar Overdrive", "Careful With That Axe, Eugene" and "Several Species Of Small Furry Animals Gathered Together In A Cave And Grooving With A Pict" bordering on Queen's "Mustapha!" I'm not being a pretentious snob here. Adam wrote the music and I'm his biggest fan. I'm just the lyrics guy LOL. Hopefully, if the vibe from the presentation continues, there'll be the concert and the EP next year. I hope. I just don't see why they don't release "Batman" as a concept album. Seriously, Jeff Wayne's musical version of "The War of the Worlds" couldn't be done to its maximum ability on a Broadway stage for the next 50 years and it's done so incredibly well. It would definitely attract a lot of attention, positive and negative, which is something Jim would be very used to. I don't think a film would work because there's no live action spin-offs of the Batman films. A friend of mine, another Steinman diehard, says Jim should reuse the material for a "Shadow" musical. Btw., "Original Sin" and "Good Girls Go To Heaven" would totally rock in the context of Batman. > Hey Ryan > > The mention is deserved as The Dark Knight is a cool site, > as is your Steinman site (best researched on the web). > > And thanks again for putting 'Ribbons of Blood' in the > tribute section (and the trailer). > > In regards the article, and the future of Jim's Batman > demos, I always had some doubts about how a Batman musical > could work on stage, but I love the idea of Jim being > involved in a Batman project (whatever it may be). > > After reading the scene descriptions for Gotham/Graveyard > & Children I would love to see these incorporated into a > Batman film (the next one?), and then have Jim's songs > spread throughout. > > Gotham/Vespers as a pre-title sequence (think James Bond), > then into Graveyard over opening titles and then Children > towards the end, and reprised over closing titles? > > Other songs could be included throughout in either > complete or edited form. > > The film wouldn't be a musical as such, but similar to > Queen's involvement with Highlander. > > The additonal bonus would be the inevitable soundtrack > with full productions and maybe a score by Margoshes? > > BTW - Wait till you hear my new 'Batman' song. > > > > I'm having the best week.
