Again it was still a new thing to Meat the songs length and the need to preform it at "every" live show would bring anyone down, I mean imagine having to sing a 12 minute song every concert. The stress of also topping it caused him to get into drugs and agitated his asthma which made his voice for Dead Ringer strained. The record companies wanting another success forced him to rush albums like Midnight at the lost and found, bad attitude, and blind before I stop which needed time and effort he couldn't afford in an effort to top his masterpiece. Lets face his entire career in the 80's was ruined being in the shadow of that success. It ruined so many albums and songs that it may have been better to record it later.
