Christmas Album (Hot Holidays) to be recorded in March
 

meat is fine today and it looks like we have confirmation on the starting process a little record that was set on the back burner in our minds since HIAHB's release! I can see a Hot Holidays board on here very very soon.

If meat tours HIAHB in the fall, maybe an Xmas song or two will pop up.

Excellent news, could definitely expect it for late this year then.

don't know about this proving Meat is 'fine today' since that quote could've easily been given before the Loose Women interview.

Anyway, still hoping he's ok and that the christmas album does well. I think he's right to play down expectations a little.

Cant wait! Especially for the duet with Imelda May!

Yep that's what I most excited about :D

I agree.

Normally I hate Christmas albums and anything to do with Christmas but I'm quite looking forward to hearing what Meat comes up with.

I tend to steer away from anything christmas related these days, but this will be a "Must Buy" :D

way too far in the future for me... i've a new album to be getting on with.. and maybe a dvd soon

Thanks for posting the link Wario. Same here .. right now I'm looking forward to the US version of HIAHB, live DVD, and possible upcoming shows :-) I seriously doubt I'll hear Meat sing Christmas songs here in the States this summer :lol: ... but it'll be something to look forward to later on ;)

I agree! I hate anything christmassey!!! Bah humbug!

I'm just the opposite (not very fashionable to not be cynical these days, I know). Can't wait to have the addition of some seasonal Meat Loaf tunes to the mix.

This may give Patti a opportunity to have a single of her own on this given record. I like to think it would. Her voice is so good!

Hopefully this will be like Twisted Sister's "A Twisted Christmas" album... that rocked!

No what I mean is I hare things all christmassy but looking forward to Hot Holidays!!!

me three

needs a better name than hot holidays imo

the SANTAnic Verses ?

i like that alot!!!!!

Just call it 'Backdoor Santa'. Tagline - "Stuff some Meat in your stocking" :lol:

I'm sure I read somewhere that the media aren't interested in a Meat Loaf album unless the title has "hell"in it somewhere...


I like the idea of "A Christmas from hell"

A Hellish Christmas

Hang Cool Rudolph, It's Christmas (In Hell)

With each band member's face on a reindeer. Mr. Loaf with a Santa hat and a Chuck Berry red stratocastor in the back of his sleigh.

:up:

Happy Hellidays.:-)

I reckon Meat could do one hell of a version of "It'll Be Lonely This Christmas".

In a way I'm strangely looking forward to this...on paper I don't think the idea works at all and it's not the kind of thing I'd ever buy, so I'm quite looking forward to seeing what on earth it is that Mr Loaf has up his long red coat sleeve!

I just had a thought, Patti singing O Silent Night!

Did you mean Silent Night or O Holy Night? The second being one of my favourite Christmas songs ever, which Patti would do a phenominal job of!

so did i:D, but it was just me and her [ singing of course ]

"oh Holy Night" is the gold standard of Christmas songs for great vocalists. Thus far I think John Berry did the best version I have heard, but I'd love to hear what Meat could do with. I think around 1987 especially Meat would have been amazing on that song, maybe he can be today as well.

Silent night, holy night. All is calm, all is bright. I can hear it thunderous in a way when she work wit TSO "Beethoven's Last Christmas" something to that effect.

Maybe Paul O'Neill could produce something for the album?

That would be enchanting in a sense that Back Into Hell and Prize Fighter and Elvis In Vegas are/is. And one of the things I associate with Christmas is sleepy eyes and christmas lights!

I'm very much looking forward to owning a Christmas album Meat's recorded. I hope there's some traditional songs on it. I think O Holy Night would be an excellent choice. It's a fave of mine. I have a cd of the radio show Meat and the band did at a children's hospital, I believe it was, where Christmas songs were sung. The sound isn't real clear on it and it will be terrific to have a nice studio album of Meat singing Christmas tunes. It will go right in rote next December with my Garth Brooks Christmas cds. I think it's nice to have albums of your faves singing traditional Christmas songs. Yes... something really wonderful for me to which to look forward !!! ... :D ...

Either one would be awesome to hear by Patti.
I'm guessing the album will have some classics and some untraditional holiday songs too.

I would like Steinman to write a x-mas song for this album. Imagine Steinman writing for a holiday album.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn the song Cry To Heaven sung by Meat was a Steinman song... It's a gentle, lovely piece... I could see a Steinmen penned song on a holiday album if done in similar style ...

Are you kidding me no! I am talking about Hot Holidays, a night cold winter night of passion and the kind of pleasure that you get from burning from the waist up!

Not that gentle soothe stuff its gotta get you hot and heavy to keep that california wind chill away.


Take you out of the frying pan and into the fireeeeeeeeeeeeee!

:twisted: If Steinman was involved, i'd like the worlds most extreme Christmas disaster song :devil:

The lyrics of Steinman's Speaking in Tongues (nothing on YouTube, it seems) are quite Christmassy:

:lol: "It wasn't just Grandma who got ran over by a reindeer that year..."

Slay-bells Out Of Hell anyone?
