Another new album?
 

No one seems to have spotted this.

Well you did. ;-)

Cool, hope these are more like PFL rather than HCTB

Maybe good news shouldn't be provided in the middle of an argument. ;) I agree with Andrew, hopefully the stuff will be as equally cool as PFL.

Yes. I have two trains of thought on this.

1) These songs are good and Meat really wanted to do them, but they didn't fit in with the Patrick nonsense so they got left off. I'm thinking Prize Fight Lover / Boneyard.

2) The songs weren't good enough to make it onto HCTB in the first place and should be left alone. :roll:

Let's hope it's option 1.

and Meat said the fat lady was gonna sing. Maybe one of these 15 new tracks is that song that they were rehearsing in one of the tweets.

Hurray! Maybe thats where the fables 'the hit' song featured in one of the videos will end up :pray:

The one James Michael and Rick Brantley were doing? It sounded interesting, I would like to hear that on an album.

First thing that leapt out at me this morning, and was amazed that in all the defence etc no-one had referred to this great news, but my post (being off-Lopez-topic I guess) was removed from the thread.

It's given me cause for huge celebration .. I love HCTB, love every song including Los Angeloser, love the concept, the storyline which Meat painted so clearly it leaps put at one from the disc, and Patrick's journey in the album. I was thrilled to read Meat's intention to record next year more of the songs that weren't included.

I won't speculate as to what the songs will be, nor advise him on how to promote it ;) I know I will love it because Meat's new sound is to me his best to date. He says he wouldn't change a thing on it, and nor would I have him do so.

Meat also asked what does being 62 have to do with anything .. in his case it seems to me simply that his inner drive to create something unique and marvellous still burns fiercely. I heard HCTB at the Playback and was blown away, have it to enjoy every day wherever I am, see it in his passionate performances this tour, and now I can hope to hear more of it on another album. Bloody marvellous news!

Don't need to wonder whether it will be this or that. It will be Meat, on fantastic form. And at a time when I was sadly contemplating that HCTB might be his last new album, that's wonderful news for any follower of Meat Loaf .. and I'm a Meat Loaf follower ..

This must be a record! 4 posts into a thread about a possible new album next year and the thread is dragged off topic. Please try and control the inner child!

i'd much prefer option 1 rather than dregs

If he wants to release it as part of a rarieties collection i'd be all for that

I am positively looking forward to this!!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... Can we please stop talking about Patrick? It's about a potential new album and I hope that guy won't be involved. :twisted:

the new album might be a concept album based on the realisation that he Patrick, was still on the battlefield, none of the previous flashforwards were real, and its based on his actual journey from being wounded on the battlefield, through rescue and recovery etc

or it might be completely unrelated

eitherway its exciting news :D

Maybe the new album will be about his long lost brother Robert or his sister Patricia?

well spotted!! but i would say no.1 is nearer the truth?

Not when I'm talking about HCTB because he's the main character and for me an integral part of the album as designed by Meat.

I don't anticipate Patrick's likely to feature in the next album .. Meat is endlessly creative and will I'm sure come up with something new. But I'd be happy for the underpinning strength of a storyline, which to me just served to enhance the pleasure of the HCTB.

Caryl.

I just now had the exact same train of thought. Are we related? :lol:

Given my feelings about HCTB, I really hope it's option 1.

Also hoping it's the first scenario...someone might be able to correct me on this (and I'm sure they will!) but am I right in remembering that when Meat first started filming the Twitter updates when they first went into the studio, he posted an update and he was laughing because they had about 30 songs to work with and at that moment they'd only recorded about 5 because they weren't good enough? I might be remembering that completely wrong - and I can't be arsed going back through all the Twitters! - but if that is the case I sincerely hope it's the tracks that didn't fit the HCTB story.

Yes grandad, has your memory gone again?

My main gripe with HCTB was the songs. So if these are better songs with the same production then it's something to look forward to. :twisted:

Yup I agree. :up:

Yeah, I thought I left it on the shelf with my teeth last night but it's nowhere to be seen.

Indeed. Better songs + more piano = happy Dave.

The new piano player seems to be very good. I would like to know what it would sound like if they made use of his skills on a record. Although I'm a guitar maniac, I also love piano-dominated songs.

The new piano guy was the first thing I noticed when I heard some of the new tour. I really like his style and it'd be great to hear plenty of him in this possible new album.

Yeah I noticed it too, and I commented as well. I'm really excited about having a new album next year. I'm sure whatever the songs are, they will be fantastic, simply because Meat is singing them. I too was worried HCTB might be his last album, although I hoped not. I agree it's wonderful news for any follower of Meat Loaf, and I too am a Meat Loaf follower. And hopefully a new album, will mean a tour will follow.

Sorry, can't agree with that bit. Even Meat has limited capabilities.
