Guys,
Sadly I must inform you that the odds of there being another entire Meat and Jim album are very slim!
The reason I say this is partly based upon all of the litigation that is STILL going on over the first BOOH. You see, I do not think that Meat really has a problem with Jimmy and Jimmy does not really have a problem with Meat, it primarily lies in the hands of their respective managment teams. Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman's "people" can never seem to come to the bargaining table at the same time. This is one of the cold hard realities of being a Steinfanatic, as well as a Meat Loaf Bat. Do you realize how difficult it is when I actually put this in writing. To say that it more than likely will not happen? But, I would rather state the case than to say nothing. I would love nothing more than for TESTIFY to be BOOH III recorded in secrecy, but folks, it ain't gonna' happen.
Right now, Meat Loaf is busy off acting and Jimmy is busy off being a theater man, and the two roads are not likely to cross any time soon.
The only future project I could foresee is the possibilty of Meat Loaf recording a song for the DANCE OF THE VAMPIRES concept CD, which could be likely. I mean, if you listen to the Andrew Lloyd Webber/Jim Steinman interview from WJLP when they asked Jimmy about why Scarpia did A KISS IS A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE, Jimmy (in his answer) almost sounded like he WANTED Meat to sing it, but something was in the way.
With all the love there ever was.....
