Also Barry Manilow destroyed Read'em and Weap, he turned it into a really soppy ear aching love song when it was meant to be an operatic ballad- it's a real shame that the Dead Ringer album was overlooked because they are a lot of good songs on their that had a lot of potential. It's a real shame Meat doesn't sing more songs from that album too but I read in an interview the other month in NME magazine or somewhere that he doesn't like Read'em and Weap or IGLHFBOU because they're too cheesy. I do disagree, they're powerful operatic songs- even Steinman has overlooked these songs in a lot of his recycled material so maybe he feels the same way.
