| From the Las Vegas Review Journal, today, 9/27/13. "Bat Out of Hell" is one of the biggest selling albums of all time, and Meat Loaf racked up platinum sales for some of its follow ups. But career interruptions followed in the form of vocal problems and a falling out with Jim Steinman, the composer who gave Meat Loaf all those cool songs to sing. Meat Loaf says he is in reasonably good voice these days. "I'm not bad but I'm getting older," he says, adding that he and his band still do the "BOOH" classics "in the same keys we recorded them in 37 years ago." And he and Steinman, whom he calls "Jimmy" are working together on a new album called "Brave and Crazy." They are three tracks in, and hope to record three more during his daytimes in Las Vegas. There's more in the article regarding the show in Vegas and that he hopes to take it to Broadway, Chicago, and the West End. > That's actually from a 1977 press-release, but who cares: > 15 seconds of internet-fame. > > > Evil Nickname's site gets a mention too > > > > To capture the true beauty of the Steinloaf collaboration, > > you have to visit the corners of the internet where > > intense musical nerds dwell.
