Meat Loaf Fan Recording Project Version 2.0

[ZodiacManzo]

So, since the last time this happened, for whatever reason, it died, i wasn't here so I don't know why. But looking through the old thread, I found a bunch of interesting stuff, so why not start a new thread?

So post your fan recordings here. If anyone needs backing tracks, I can probably whip something up, and any collaborations would be awesome.

have fun doodz

An awesome thread to start man. If anyones is looking to sing a duet with yours truly I'm up for anything baby. Backing tracks would be gold if I could get any. All I want now is to hear the Loafers sing!!!!!!! heeehaw!!!!

OK, you and Wario can do "Loving You's a Dirty Job but Somebody's Gotta Do It"

[Steve6]

OK, you and Wario can do "Loving You's a Dirty Job but Somebody's Gotta Do It"

You need a male and female for that. But I do sound a bit like Todd Rundgren (we have similar vocals) so I will collaborate with someone on that song. ;)

What song are you going to sing Dave? I'd love to hear your take on "Modern Girl" or "Clap your hands" if you'd be so kind. haha

[Pudding]

You need a male and female for that.

Between you I'm sure you can figure out which one's the butch one.

[daveake]

What song are you going to sing Dave?

Last time I used my singing voice was in the shower. My rubber duck jumped out the window and committed suicide.

PMPL ! I can't sing to save my life, on guitar hero, it comes on the screen, please stop trying to strangle the cat;) LOL..

[Steve6]

:lmao: @ at the last three comments on this thread. I'm a well toned male specimen so I'm not the butch one Pud. I think Pud, 24K and Daveake should get together and record their version of "Nowhere Fast". I've always tried to imagine Pudding singing, but it normally ended with me breaking out in a cold sweat. If you can't sing don't worry about it at least it will give everyone a laugh.

[Wario]

Ill do:

Who is the leader of the people
and I think my Los Angelsoer will work great

[Steve6]

Post them to the thread like a good poll dancer :)

I'll do Paradise by the Dashboard light with some beautiful lady on this forum. I just hope it doesn't turn into Paradise by the thrashboard :shit:

[suzieq]

PMPL ! I can't sing to save my life, on guitar hero, it comes on the screen, please stop trying to strangle the cat;) LOL..

:lmao: I'm with you 24K. I suck at singing. Rock Band/Guitar Hero sure is fun though and I don't mind making an :moon: of myself while playing. Though, I can play the part of a menacing tree in a video, that is, if anyone needs a tree. :lol:

[24K]

Have just started to play on Guitar Hero again, Jake never liked the noise and us prancing around like tw@ts:shock:;)
Hubby is really good at the drums, i am shite ! I am canny on guitar though, although annoyingly hubby is better!
I wish there was a Meat Loaf game ! Can you imagine how awesome that would be and playing guitar to all the superb heavy guitar based songs the list is endless !
Playing a tree, TFF !;)

I think we need to kick our Genies in the ass because I wish the same. At this point I don't care if it's on one of those "plug and play" versions. I think it would be a great time regardless.

By the time Guitar Hero/Rock Band recognize Meat's work on their systems....we'll be in a old folks care facility. Hmmmm....who do I know in the gaming industry? :sherlock:

But back on topic, looks like you made the audition and are being cast as the next Patti ;) Great job, always a leading lady ;)

[Sarahdk23]

I have done a couple of recordings of Meat songs on singsnap.com. Im not the best singer, but I like it.

You have a nice voice Sarah, and considering how tricky both songs are to sing you done a great job. Well done :D

[robgomm]

I'd like to do frying pan but i can't find a backing track anywhere. I'm told i'm a good singer and i've recorded for crying out loud before.

[ZodiacManzo]

heres one of mine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_4mrDcO9To

[madagascar]

would be interested in lost boys and golden girls, if there's a good backing track or maybe a home recording with just accoustic guitars for instance. Can't play that song on guitar though. ;)

[24K]

Can you and me do a duet for this thread you sound like fun ;)

Fun yep, sing nope;) LOL..

Sarah i do think you have a canny voice, thanks for sharing:-)

[robgomm]

How did you do the backing track? This is my main problem, getting backing tracks.

[robgomm]

heres one of mine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_4mrDcO9To

By the way good cover!

[Cherry.Loaf]

I'll give it a go. I would definetly be up for singing a duet not sure if I'm as good as some of you but hey it'll be fun :D

[A Slice Of English]

How did you do the backing track? This is my main problem, getting backing tracks.

He just sang over the Meat version. If you listen, you can hear Meat in the background. You can tell by the mic moving around all over the shop lol

[robgomm]

Arr okay. I've found a program to do my own backing tracks.

[Pudding]

He just sang over the Meat version

Yep. I get the feeling that this will be somewhat of an online karaoke. I'm looking forward to someone actually doing their own composition of a song....anyone play the banjo?

[duke knooby]

anyone play the banjo?

:lmao:

[Steve6]

It's just so hard to get backing tracks. I would have covered all of Meat's song by now :lol:. There is a free program called audicity which you can create backing tracks with, but I don't think it creates good ones in my opinion. I haven't used it in a while but you can put "Bat Out Of Hell" on it and remove the vocals..it really doesn't do a good job does anyone know a better way?

The only people that have a catalogue of Meat Loaf backing tracks are daveake, samurai, and DT. They are the only people I know of.

Not if you are wanting to make a top of the range cover. The karaoke sound destroys the song it makes a rock song sound pop if you get me. To me the real deal is the exact same sound as the record without the lead vocals. :cool:

I'm onto it :cool:

But I still need a duet partner, and no one has requested to do one with me. :(

[robgomm]

I don't think audacity makes that bad a backing track, i've got a good one for song of madness which i can't wait to record!

[Steve6]

I don't think audacity makes that bad a backing track, i've got a good one for song of madness which i can't wait to record!

I tried taking out the vocals on "BOOH" with audacity and it sucked. Meat still came across loud and clear... a bit distorted alright. You could use a MIDI I suppose.

[eddy<meat-loaf>rocky]

Heres my Los Angeloser/Who Is The leader thing:

http://kiwi6.com/file?id=gv27624ziy

I have re-recorded bits on LA (like the speech in the middle I omitted on YT).

Original LA:


UOwu1rAPp2g

[Cult Of Byron]

I've been working on a version of Only When I Feel for about ...erm... five years now :oops: so this would be a good project for me if it takes shape!

I was going to do this and Lost Boys... with a piano playing friend of mine, for the last Nothing But A Merciless Night compilation, but he didn't pull his finger out in time and we missed the boat.

On another issue, I have some rather tasty music software on my PC so if anyone wants a midi beefed up for backing track usage, let me know ;)

Edit: Just listened to Wario's LA, that was a lot of fun! :lol:

[Pudding]

But I still need a duet partner, and no one has requested to do one with me. :(

What about one of your alternate personalities?

[Steve6]

What about one of your alternate personalities?

That's very true Pud, but even though the personalities change the vocals don't. ;) You up for a duet? "It Just won't quit" sums up my 5 year friendship with you. :lmao:

[Monstro]

You up for a duet? "It Just won't quit" sums up my 5 year friendship with you. :lmao:

That's actually quite funny lol


If you lot are serious about recording something I know a sound engineer that'll record/mix any SERIOUS efforts

[Wario]

only 2 people downloaded my file :(
Wario's sad

[Steve6]

Wario I will download your file in the morning; it's a bit late to have you blasting out of the speakers ;-) I may also have a look at Zodiacs.

Monstro that's excellent news. I'll keep that option open, and I'm sure some people will need more editing than others. :lol: I may see will Pudding duet with me on "It Just won't quit" :whistle: and where is that partner for Paradise I requested?? :roll:

[robgomm]

I really need a backing track for frying pan guys.

[amethyst]

I'm onto it :cool:

But I still need a duet partner, and no one has requested to do one with me. :(

I'd offer, but not sure how we'd do it ~ lol.

I think we may have a problem....hmmm. Can you use any sound editing software? Is it possible to sing it live over the Internet, and have it recorded? In this day and age with all the technology I'm sure it's possible.

[Cult Of Byron]

Skype :D

[Steve6]

Skype it is, but my skype won't open. :roll: I tried recording my own own version of "Masculine" today with a new opening but I'm not happy with it so I've stopped recording. I'm also planning on doing "Paradise" with MLUKFC''s very own amethyst. :D

[AndrewG]

Is this another insult thread or a "fan" recording project?

[Wario]

Is this another insult thread or a "fan" recording project?

i'm going to make a backing track of hot patootie thats similar to the hang cool version if anyone's interested

[Mr. Happy]

I've been working on a version of Only When I Feel for about ...erm... five years now :oops: so this would be a good project for me if it takes shape!

Please do, it could be the only proper recording of it we'll ever get :(

Would anyone object to me doing We're Still The Children, seeing as it's technically not a Meat Loaf song?

[ZodiacManzo]

go for it

[Monstro]

Thread cleaned, please keep to topic or go to the insult thread

[Steve6]

I've tried making a backing track of Los Angeloser with audicity and it's sucks big time, and not only that I can't open up a karaoke of Paradise I was sent. So I can't record my vocal. errr I'm so frustrated, but give me time. This thread is awesome, and there's a lot of talent on MLUKFC from what I've heard so far. Keep it up people.

[robgomm]

Frying Pan with audacity sucked. I can't get a backing track anywhere for that.

[Cult Of Byron]

Please do, it could be the only proper recording of it we'll ever get :(

Would anyone object to me doing We're Still The Children, seeing as it's technically not a Meat Loaf song?

Erm, not at all! Have you heard this? (http://www.vanderbyl.co.uk/downloads/2-06_Children.mp3)

Also, since I've just reacquainted myself with the Joe's Pub version of OWIF, I'm going to do two versions - the Hair of the Dog version (with bitchin' intro guitars :D) and the aforementioned Joe's Pub version (which has a very different piano part.)

[meatfanforlife]

Id like to join in if I could. I would like to do If I Can't Have You and Two outta Three if that would please you guys.

Anyone know a program to make good backing tracks besides audacity?

[Steve6]

Anyone know a program to make good backing tracks besides audacity?

You mean does anyone know of a FREE program besides audacity? ;-)

[Evil One]

Anyone know a program to make good backing tracks besides audacity?
I'm guessing you could take either the MSO or 3 Bats DVD, rip the 5.1 audio track and then edit Meat's vocals out of the centre channel, but it's a lot of work.

[robgomm]

I've got those mp3's so I could probably do that. Not sure how well audacity would work with live songs though.

[meatfanforlife]

I just tried a couple songs from MSO...not too bad imo

[robgomm]

Did you record them? Would like to hear that.

[Cult Of Byron]

You mean does anyone know of a FREE program besides audacity? ;-)

I tend to use Goldwave, which is similar to audacity in its functionality and its freeness ;)

Although it'll be of no more help in actually 'creating' backing tracks short of having access to the masters...

Id like to join in if I could. I would like to do If I Can't Have You and Two outta Three if that would please you guys.

Go for it !

[meatfanforlife]

Did you record them? Would like to hear that.

I will have them uploaded in a few days. its a slow process since i live in an apartment and singing Meat isn't exactly appreciated at some hours of the day. :)

[ZodiacManzo]

how'd you extract the vocals?

[robgomm]

My recordings are on hold because my voice seems to have gone somewhere else lately. Think i've got a cold.

[Monstro]

Expect a flurry of posts because people were expecting you to sing and rumours in the press of poor advance sales of forthcoming recording forcing you to fake said cold and cancel, you have been warned lol

[Steve6]

Tell it to come back...has it gone camping for the week?

I smell excuses. :lol: But I'll wait in anticipation for your recordings pal. ;)

I know it's a complete disaster lol! Hang on I think I can hear the reporters setting up camp in my garden....

[AndyK]

I'm sure some of these tracks have had their vocals enhanced ... :))

They're still great to hear though, keep 'em coming.

Not bad mate, i like the original take on it with acoustic guitar.

[robgomm]

So i emailed Paris music about doing some songs off the new album, song of madness etc. And the guy said they have no plans to make them available. But he did say he would do a custom job for me if i wanted. Now please bear in mind that all of his other decent well produced backing tracks are £10. How much did he quote me to make song of madness? 230 f***ing pounds!

So that's the end of that I guess.

i think they're only expecting to make one, given the fact it is an album track from what would apparently be very much an unknown album but it is a huge amount to consider paying.

[robgomm]

It's a good point if they're thinking not many people will buy the track. But still £230 is obscene. I was expecting him to say something like £30 for a once off, so i was amazed.

[Wario]

my god they charge the person costumizing it that much cause it takes labor to make. hope else will paris music make money? They sell the track for 10 pounds because if its downloaded 30 times they get their money back plus profit.

Though 230 is kinda steep.

Never spend more then 200.

[Wario]

Put the Amnetsy Track I got made and just sat and sang.

I couldn't find my mic nor my mic clip, so I had to improvise. I rolled up a paper ball and got a big sharpie mark and wrapped that and taped it up in paper. Then I taped them together then taped them to the mic stand. Hope its not too distracting....

Hope this one is good:

LOL - that was actually a GREAT video Wario! I really enjoyed it!

[PanicLord]

Re Wario's Amnesty Is Granted...

Incidentally, one of my favourite non Jim songs by Meat...

PMSL :lmao:

Absolutely brilliant - it's like a bizarre combination of Ask Elvis and Tim Curry's Frank N Furter. Everyone on X Factor should be made to watch this as a demonstration of how to perform a song.

Thanks Wario - really cheered me up before going to work :lol:

[Wario]

Because when some people clicked on it it came up with the message that the video had been set to private and you had to accept a friend request to view it. That was either an error or you want to increase your youtube "fancount", either way if you want it on this site it has to be set to public.

Oh. it was a mistake. I just forgot to unset it to private which happens when you upload directly from Final Cut.....

or you want to increase your youtube "fancount"

:| If that were the true why do I not set the actual Meat Loaf content to private.

I deleted the LAR cover. will will redo it later with my best bud.

You definitely have acting and entertainer skills as well as passion for what you do. :D:up: Very good but you often sound more like an Elvis impersonator than like Meat Loaf. ;)

you could argue Meat sometimes sounded like him too back in the late 80s. :shrug:

I hate to be an ass but imo...that was horrid :(

:? How about just singing in a style that suits the song instead of primarily acting (and being that WarioLoaf persona all the time)?

[AndrewG]

I thought he was trying to be like Meat Loaf, am I mistaken?

Am I crazy to think when I watch that video that it looks as if Wario is waiting for a fish being chucked down into his throat when he is looking up?? :nuts:

Hey guys i've been trying to get some websites doing backing tracks to do songs from the new album.

I've managed to get hold of one guy who said if I sign up to his website I can request a song to be made, and if it's popular enough it will get made.

So can you guys help me out, register for it and request the news songs off Hang Cool.

I'm going to request Living on the oustside, Peace on earth, Song of madness, and Elvis in vegas.

Enjoy :D Planning to do some more tonight, if time permits. Thinking Lemon, or I'll Kill You If You Don't Come Back

[Cult Of Byron]

Euphoria, love your Surf's Up! It's got a nice Eelsy, dreamlike quality - really enjoyed listening to it, thank you so much for sharing it!

[Wario]

Of all things I didnt know the lyrics to forever young, so Hope its not noticeable.

... Oh crap, you don't have any...

LOL:lol:

Serious question though. Why do Forever Young if you don't know the lyrics?

[Wario]

Serious question though. Why do Forever Young if you don't know the lyrics?

I did know the lyrics. I was just over exaggerating and parodying Meat reading the papers on the stage during FCOL's MSO performance lol

[youngJB]

I wish there was a Bad For Good orchestral version, cuz I'd do that in an instant. But I suppose I'll post my covers of Bat and Dead Ringer as soon as my mic arrives. (Though they'll be down several keys from the originals)

And by the way, WarioLoaf deserves either a Grammy or a Tony award for that Hot Patootie performance.

Nah seriously sir it's not bad at all, apart from linking the Bat III intro to your backing track

This is a work in progress, basically just me and a 'piano' ;)

I'm also working on Only When I Feel.

If anyone wants to add anything to this song; guitar, strings, drums, anything that anyone feels is missing, let me know and I'd be glad of any suggestions!

Hehe, not as entertaining as Wario's but I hope you like it ;)

[allrevvedup]

Pretty good, I like the way you stuck to the Bad for good version since your voice suits that more.

So with that in mind, maybe some guitar (acoustic to shake it up a little) added to it would give it a bit more.

[Cult Of Byron]

Ta very much! Thanks for the suggestion too, I was thinking acoustic guitar, possibly a little cello, but "soundfonted" since I don't have one ;)

[meatfanforlife]

Nice job m8. I hope to have a few posted soon, but my voice has just been knackered.

[robgomm]

I would love to record some stuff for you guys, but i've had coughs and colds for about the last three months so my voice has just been f***ed. Starting to think it's never gonna come back.

[robgomm]

Hey Cult I just wanted to say I love your voice man, that was an awesome cover of Lost Boys you did.

[Mr. Happy]

Great cover of Lost Boys and Golden Girls Cult :D The high note at 1.50 in particular is awesome x.x Someone said it above, but your voice really suits the song :D It reminds me of Jim's voice a little, actually :O

And I just realized I never thanked you for your comments on Surf's Up. So yeah, thanks two months late :D

This is my cover of Bat Out Of Hell. It's still too high for me, even after I lowered the pitch in audacity. But what the hell, I wanted to contribute.

Okay that's freaky, that actually sounds quite like me! But luckyily for me i'm able to sing at a higher pitch. Well done mate, good effort. I have to say it's good because it sounds like me lol

They aren't really fan 'recordings' as such, as I basically performed it (one take), recording directly into Audacity and then just did some very, very basic editing (adjusting volume of vocals or piano, tweaking the timing, whatever). Enjoy, anyway, even if they both are pretty bad :P Were fun to make, at the very least

I finally got a mic stand and I went to dollar tree and bought a dog tag just for the video

Please tell me what you think, I actually tried to be as Meat-like as possible and actually tried:

jLgNj_BrgpM

(Note: lip synching to your vocal is incredibley awkward)

[robgomm]

Wario, don't know if you want me to be honest or not.

I thought your version of Los Angeloser was brilliant! It really suited you and your voice and you did a great job on it.

But i'm afraid I didn't like Modern Girl, your voice just wasn't strong enough or high enough for it, but credit for having a go. I'd like to see you go for it a bit more. I dunno, it just sounded like you tried harder and went for it more with Los Angeloser. I apologise in advance if i'm wrong.

Sorry, LA was brilliant though!

[meatfanforlife]

Not bad Wario. Something with your voice is still a little high for me, but I love your acting here. What I really wanna know, is wehre you got the backing track for Los Angeloser? :D

Haha Really?! Maybe I can be your impersonator someday then.

Anyway, I rerecorded my cover of bat. This time it's at a more comfortable pitch, many many keys below the original. (never fully appreciated Meat's outrageous range until I tried singing his songs).

Here is my submission. I preface this by saying that there are some issues with this, the first and most obvious being a general lack of talent. ;) Hated the way the beginning turned out so I cut it, I'll attempt to fix it later.

I could do Midnight at the Lost and Found

[robgomm]

No one has posted in here for a long time. Just thought i'd say i've just ordered Sony Audio Studio 10 which allows you to make you're own karaoke tracks.

I'm going to try and record all three verses of Blue Sky.

To be fair, I think his original version was better.

[Ollie241189]

If someone could knock up a Los Angeloser instrumental, I'll record it and post it. Or even Blue Sky. I could do all 3 verses if it's long enough.

You, my friend... are a gem ... lol ... and OH those EYEbrows !!!! ... You're just too much WarieL ! ... xo

Wario, you are clearly quite insane. I find this most amusing. Congratulations.

[Sue K]

I saw an ad on tv last night for a film coming out in States about a 30yo guy living in his mom's basement and I swear !!! I said to my husband "Smack the eyebrows of WarieL from the UK forum on that guy and there's a great similarity between the two!" ... Not to twins... but similar!!! ... lol ...

[RSG]

Chris's video should be on the big screen behind the Loaf's next gig if they play Los Angeloser again.

[Ollie241189]

On Saturday/Sunday I shall post audio of me singing YTTWROOMM. It's not too bad if I do say so myself! : )

[RSG]

Hang Cool Tour's arrangement to Took The Words is superior to the original album recording imo.

[Ollie241189]

I agree. But it's still an epic song

[RSG]

Absolutely!

I know I'm a little late, but...you got 19,000 views on this video :shock: I mean, wow. That's impressive :O I wouldn't be listening to the reviews if I were you, either. Yeah, your voice was a little raw, but it didn't deserve the crap it got, by any stretch of the imagination :shock: The YouTube community is horrible :(

[Mr. Happy]

There's lots of people talking about doing a cover, but there's no one actually doing it. So I'll start us off again :D

Good effort but am a bit confused. Did you sing the first and last verses the other way round? I thought the song started with 'it is the same blue sky' verse?

[Mr. Happy]

I have no idea o.0 All I did was sing it exactly as the Australian release was done, then added the second verse (that was in the booklet) at the end. Was it done differently on the European or NA release?

Yeah on the Euro release he sung the other printed verse at the start of mad mad world, but i think my understanding is that that is meant to be the first verse of the song. I'm sure I read that somewhere or other.

[Mr. Happy]

Ah ok, I knew he did Blue Sky before Mad World, but I was unaware that it was meant to be the first verse. My bad :oops:

[robgomm]

Ah ok, I knew he did Blue Sky before Mad World, but I was unaware that it was meant to be the first verse. My bad :oops:

Don't feel bad, I might have got it wrong, can't say for sure. But i'm guessing by the way it's arranged on the album. And the first verse on the album is the one starting 'it is the same blue sky' etc. And it wouldn't really make sense then to have the other verse sung be the second verse. If you was going to put in only two out of the three verses you would pick the beginning and end. I did do a thread somewhere where I posted it in full.

But I like I say, without knowing officially I cannot say for sure!

[robgomm]

Hey guys i'm having real problems with my voice lately and wanted some advice. It just feels clogged up and tired all the time. I think I might have a bit of a cold at the moment so that might be part of it and could be why i've been tired lately.

But what about generally looking after your singing voice? Any tips? I drink a lot of tea and have dairy, i've heard that quite bad for it?

I've heard that when you have a cold, eating any dairy can make your throat feel phlemy. How about some tea and honey ? ... xo

There are apparently a few people interested in getting it, so to save you the hassle of PMing me for a link you can download the backing track / instrumental / karoake / whatever you want to call it for Blue Sky here:

Two verses, like I recorded above:
http://www.4shared.com/mp3/PNDIKxhL/Blue_Sky__Instrumental_Two_Ver.html?

Three verse, like how Wario did it:
