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.

You are so wrong on so many levels but I'll digress with one statement:
Jim would be nowhere without Meat. Meats the ONLY MAN that can sing his stuff. Not Rory, not Rob Evan, not Air Supply. Meat owns it all and would own it all if he was given making love or whatever demos Rory recorded.
Rory's a good backing vocalist, nothing more. He has now power, no energy. BFG sounds like a bootleg of bat out of hell outtakes
Jim can't ding, Rory can't lead, meat is the only person who can bring Kim's words to life with male hormones.
I'm sorry but jim was lucky to meet the voice, cause meat sure as hell would've still had a great career. Jim, he'd still be writing plays that would never see the light of day past workshops he's a genius but he's not good for buisness
I'm sorry but I love Jim, but he's not the puppeteer. He's the songwriter and that's all. Meats non Jim work is a testament to that
Meat and Jim are two different entities, and the more optimistic, charasmatic, and emotional powerhouse always outweighs a stubborn genius
