Then you misunderstood me. I said it was outright wrong to refer to Jim as just another writer
in the context of Meat's overall history, not that it was outright wrong for you to consider him to be just another writer in terms of your personal preferences. The first is a solid fact, not an opinion. Jim started Meat's career with Bat and then saved it with Bat 2. The second, you can feel however you want, I'm hardly going to dictate how you should feel (and that wasn't my intent in the first place either). I even said I agreed with you in being excited about more writers, so me calling you wrong wouldn't have just been rude and stupid, it would have also been hypocritical. James Michael and Rick Brantely have done some amazing work with Meat Loaf, I'm just as pumped for their stuff as I am for Jim's. Couldn't Have Said It Better, Did I Say That, Peace on Earth, Song of Madness etc rank higher than a fair few Jim songs for me.
That's the last I'm going to say about it. I'm sorry I offended you, and like I said, I did take it down because I figured it was probably going to cause trouble and the thread was derailed enough as it was and it was just adding fuel to the flame. A little like this is
To be on topic, I'm curious as to whether or not some of the songs Jim is providing this time round will be the ones he wrote for Bat 3 that never materialised on the album. Paradise Lost, The Monster is Out of the Cage and the other ones that either I can't remember or don't actually exist (were there other titles mentioned?). I could see those plus Still the Children, Braver, Speaking in Tongues and a totally new one being the six.
I'd also love to hear Meat cover Rick Brantely's songs Free and Blue Bandanna. Those are just incredible songs that I reckon Meat could do great things with, especially the first one. I'd love to hear that done with a real piano
