Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!

A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste (10)

This is my second favourite song ever. (Only For Crying Out Loud can precede it) I love the art of Andrew Lloyd Webber and I don't understand why hasn't it been famous song. I think this is the best ALW song, better than Phantom Of The Opera but I like Sarah Brightman too. I know that POTO's sound is cleaner but I'd prefer the orchestra.
I love the beginning of the song and the "Tyre track and broken hearts" part. It's as same as in the middle of For Crying Out Loud.
When I didn't know it was from a musical I thought it's a mix of Jim's songs. Some lines from Peel Out and Lost Boys And Golden Girls.
I have the CD of Whistle Down The Wind and I love Bonnie Tyler's version too.

A question! What does it mean: If Only's - Cathy Porter. Who is she? Are these lines been by her?

My score: 10 or 11



Average: 8.28 (190.5/23)

No not a 10.

This is a strange song. Not the best, but also not the worst........don't know what i will do with this song. The clip is great, i think, but the song.....

In a good mood i will give it a 9
In a bad mood i will give it a 5

Tim!
When I count average which vote I use?

Oh, how terrible am i!!! :lol:

Then you are happy! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

An amazing song. Great music, goog lyrics, typicial Jim lyrics.

My score: 8/9

Hmmm definatly not my favorite. You just have to be in the mood for it.

6/10

I note you don't like musical.
Hey everybody! Meat was a musical actor!

My favorite version of this one is on the Storytellers DVD, but it was left off of the Storytellers CD, oddly.

I have the audio version from Storytellers.

I like musical as in going to one.

I love this song - definately one of my faves. 8/10

Very dramatic, both Jim and Meat did a fantastic job with this one :twisted:

To me, this song has some great parts, I do love musicals (btw), and I like ALW.....sometimes I like this song, sometimes I skip it :twisted:
Over all....
My Score: 6

I'm not really a musical fan
and honestly saying this song can do little to me
the Bonnie tyler part is the best

6/10

I think you mustn't sit into a theater for a Wagner opera.
Hey girls and boys! It's Webber! And I think it's his one of the best!!!

Don't you just love this song.?The music is so good ,powerful and dramatic,just great.Meat's voice is wonderful,just as powerful,good lyrics
Love it
9/10

Apart from the long note on "waste" (the one just before the solo) this song is fantastic. I'd give it a 8.5/10

A do like this song. It seems like a bit of a departure, as even though Meat and Jim have always produced very operatic songs, this one seems the most like a musical (i wonder why lol). I love the long "waste", I wonder if Meat has ever thought about being in an opera?

A great operatic:

8/10

This song doesn't 'move' me at all. Think the lyrics are very good, voice also. Must be the music, I gues.

6/10

I truly bought The Very Best Of Meat Loaf cd just to hear this song. I love the "Whistle Down The Wind" version and this one isn't quite as good but Meat's voice is superb and the music is great to. This truly proves Jim to be the Little Richard Wagner of rock. I love the Bonnie Tyler appearance at the end. "Whistle" should have been big here in the states, it's a shame.

10/10

This song is totally over the top and large than life. The best part is the tyre tracks part and that's not sung by Meat :? . It is a fantastic part full of energy. But i don't like musicals at all and this song well, i don't know, sometimes i like it but ..i just don;t know. It is not that great.

6/10
8/10 tyre tracks part

Not one of my faves, but it is good to listen too when in the right mood. 6/10 :)

I completely agree! :D One of my favs, 10/10. :bunny:

I have a question: When did you start to like Meat Loaf? Cause A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste has - I think - ancient Jim Steinman basic. The melody's as same powerful as in For Crying Out Loud (with symphonic orchestra). I know it's a Webber song but Webber and Jim do same music (Phantom Of The Opera, A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste, Memory, Carpe Noctem, Opening Dance, etc.). They are mixing the exploding rockopera with the calm and slow musical. In all songs. Then I don't understand why don't you like Kiss when you like FCOL?

Bart!
Then I will count with 7...
