I think that it comes across worse in print. Jim is a very animated interview and full of exaggerations.
I agree with most of what he says. Not sure about the stage dress, but I can definitely see him being a huge influence on Meat Loafs stage persona. I also didn't find the Ted Nugent album to be very impressive compared to his other work either.
BFG is definitely more 'heroic' and 'epic' than DR, which I find more subdued. One is not definitely better than the other, even though I generally prefer BFG.
Also, if I recall, Jim was pretty pissed off at ML at this point. In regards to him being a diva, drugs, alcohol, losing his voice, etc... So an interview like this might have been expected.

NO... those songs are Jim's. No one else's.
Meat is lucky that Jim let him sing his songs, and Jim is lucky that Meat was WILLING to sing his songs when everyone thought they were a joke.
But those songs are Jim's... PEROID.
