| I remember a couple of years ago this website was my first port of call every time I turned on the internet, Jim was blogging, demo’s were being released there was anticipation about the Dream Engine, there was even talk of a musical. Over the last couple of years I stop by from time to time, I log on sometimes not so much to post but just to see if my account is still active. I read some posts but I don’t stay long, for it only takes a couple of seconds to realises that though two years have past the are still the same idiots on here posting crap, there is still the anti Meatloaf brigade still preaching their rhetoric, There are those who even try to bully their opinion on others. Don’t get me wrong I know there are people on here who truly love Jim’s music but the vast majority would rather spiel crap than actually post something of value. Last Christmas I got an Ipod classic, about 160 GB of memory, being middle age at first I didn’t get all the kids wanting ipod’s being a member of the generation that had the first Sony walkmans. I’ve had the odd mp3 player but with 512kb it soon was filled. But now I have my Ipod its loaded with all my music of which has I would hope virtually everything available by Jim. It’s full of downloads that many of you have shared and for that I am extremely grateful. Now instead of reading and responding to all the rhetoric that is posted here the vast majority of which is negative now I listen to the music that I started to enjoy back in 78. Whatever my mood is will dictate the tracks I listen too. The powerful memories it creates takes me back to a time when as a boy I would go into the record shop to see where Bat out of hell still was in the album charts, It reminds me of times when I drove from the south coast back towards London with my then girlfriend and total eclipse of the heart played. And how excited I felt when after a few bars I realised that it was a Steinman song. When I play the songs from Streets of Fire I remember attending the premier of the movie in Leicester Square, When I listen to the bootlegs I remember the times when I was living in Canada in the 80’s and early 90’s and Meat Loaf was playing in small venues and clubs with no more than a couple of hundred people in the audience. And getting to go back stage a meeting him, I remember one concert In Mississauga which is just outside Toronto where he played in a club we had got there early and as Meats then band came through the front door Steve Buslowe invited us in to listen to the sound check but even better after the concert sitting in a limo with Meat Loaf and he told me he was talking to Jim and that he was writing songs for Bat 2. And to whoever posted the early bootlegs of Meat and Jim that takes me back to when as a 14 year old boy I went to my first concert in 1978. Who would know then 31 years later I would still have this love affair with the music. From the release of Bat 2 where I took a day off work so I could buy the CD as soon as the shop opened, too my wedding two years ago when the first song was anything for love and the last song was for crying out loud. Now I still will not buy or listen to the monster is loose I won’t even play Jims songs from that album I rather wish in my tiny little mind that the album never existed. It should never have been a Bat album. But that’s my own personal feelings not one I expect others to follow. So I suggest that rather than post dribble and crap, go buy an Ipod and load all your Steinman songs then sit back relax and remember all the memories they stir, Rather than post all this negative crap Here’s hoping to another memory of a first night in London watching a Bat Musical Happy listening | |
