Recently there has been much talk about a comment that was made by Meat Loaf regarding the fact that Nikki Sixx of Motley Crew fame "outwrote" Jim Steinman when it came to the song Man Of Steel. It would appear that Meat Loaf, himself, has questioned when this quote was made. I feel it is in the best interest of all parties involved to review the source for a moment. The actuality of the statement is that Nikki Sixx, during an interview that appeared on Mtv.com said that Meat Loaf and his wife had telephoned him and said he had outwritten Jim Steinman shortly after Meat Loaf had heard the song Man Of Steel. To the best of my knowledge, no one has ever been able to obtain a quote from Meat Loaf saying this. Meat Loaf has even gone as far as to say, and I am not sure of the quote right offhand, but it goes something to the effect that "no one can write a song like Jimmy."
Please keep this in mind that we are going on secondhand information from Nikki Sixx during an interview with Mtv.com that he past along a comment that was supposedly made by Meat Loaf that he had outwritten Jim Steinman. This is a statement that cannot be verified at this time. You can view the interview with Nikki Sixx on Mtv.com by clicking
