What about love?
I think these are my 5 favourite Meat songs since VBO 1998. + Prize Fight Lover.
Even Monster is Loose was pretty cool I thought. No one ever seems to mention it anymore. |
Again proves the point. If you can't have Steinman try to get someone to write like Steinman.
Meat has always been big in Europe and Caryl is correct with DEADRINGER being very well received. Interesting that Steinman wrote it and did most of the production on it.
Meat has tried very hard and I give him alot of credit for his efforts with CHSIB, HCTB and HIAHB as I too like those albums. And if the record companies ever gave it the right push they all could have been better sellers than they were.
But the record companies look at the track record of Meat's albums without Steinman's input or very little of and the sales aren't there
Sure sales aren't everything. But sales mean hits and that is what every artist surely wants is the recognition of their efforts.
Meat definitely deserves this.
If anyone really thinks that Meat is going to do better without Steinman, checkout how emotional he was on his last european tour speaking about Jim.
Meat really wants to have Steinman's songs again.
