| I actually quite liked the TMiL version of Bad for Good but I still felt that it was a pale imitation of what it *could* have been with Jim Steinman producing it. It was also very "Brian May" in places which was a nice twist and made it more interesting bearing in mind the production was otherwise a bit boring and heavy but I'd have preferred a straight forward Steinmanesque version. > When I first saw the tracklisting of TMiL, I was kinda > excited to hear all the Steinman numbers.
