| Some more interesting quotes... "Sonically, this record is so far removed from any album I've ever done before, and I wanted it that way," Meat Loaf said, dismissing comparisons that have been made to his "Bat Out of Hell" series. "I wanted it to be more organic. I wanted the songs to be about a human condition as opposed to always attempting to get laid, 'cause that's basically what ('Bat' partner Jim) Steinman writes about. Every song with him is about the anticipation of getting laid or wanting to get laid, which is not a bad thing, but everything is about sex. This one is not. This is about the human condition. The lyrical structures, the character structures, are completely different on this. It's an emotional wave that rides a different side of the brain. It really is a departure." Meat Loaf, who recorded the album's basic tracks live in the studio, said that he and his band have worked up seven of the new songs for a tour that begins July 3 in Gilford, N.H. But he promised that the show will "also cover every record I've ever done," including the "Stoney & Meatloaf" album he and Shaun Murphy (Bob Seger, Little Feat) released in 1971 on Motown. "It's very ambitious," he said. "I'm not gonna tell you how we're doing that, but I am hitting every (album) we've ever recorded." He also promised "one big surprise (song) that I've sworn over and over again I would never do live, but my guitar player and Patti Russo came up with an arrangement of the song I cannot resist, so we're finally doing it." | |
