This is the START OUT OF HELL & ARRIVE TO HEAVEN topic.
Let's Go to Rock 'n' Roll!!!!!!!

Where The Rubber Meets The Road (8)

It's reaaly rock! I think Welcome To The Neighbourhood isn't the best album but it is good. I like the frame of the song it's pretty cool! I think Paul and Sarah wanted to write a little Bat Out Of Hell... just with car!

Good, just short...

My score: 8

Average: 8.36 (267.5/32)

Garrett · 03 Mar 2003, 18:59

For me "Welcome To The Neighbourhood" is the the second-best album after BOOH2!! The song "Where The Rubber Meets The Road" deserves a

9/10

Tim · 03 Mar 2003, 19:27

A great song. First time I heard it, i fell in love with it. The live version is even better. Even this is not a Steinman song, it sounds great. The whole WTTN is a great album.

8.5/10

MeatBall · 04 Mar 2003, 06:31

Great song from a great album

9/10

Michel · 04 Mar 2003, 20:25

Very good song! Written by Pau Jacobs and Sarah Durkee! These writers are best if you don't count Jim!

Great rock 'n' roll music, comparable with Pieve Of The Action!

My score: 8/9

This is a very difficult song to review for one simple reason...

Every time I review a song I listen to it first to get it fresh in my mind.
Unfortunatly I played a live version of Where The Rubber Meets The Road.Suddenly it was of the highest priority for me to grab my mic stand and sing it a few times

.It's funny how certain Meat Loaf songs can turn my living room into Wembley stadium

,and how many thousands of screaming "air" fans you can fit in here.Hey,Rock & Roll Daydreams

.
Anyway,back to the song.
The first time I heard it,I thought this is a bit slow Meat.Then the intro finished and the song kicked in.BANG.I thought,I think i'll shut up now.
Great rock song.Very heavy.
The lyrics are great.I love,"you can call her a sl.t,and you can call her a slave,just remember to call her miss".
9/10 Heart pounding.

Ben · 25 Mar 2003, 01:56

I THINK THAT THIS IS A REAL "GET UP AND GO SONG" ID HAVE TO GIVE THIS A 9!!!

Bart · 25 Mar 2003, 10:13

he sings it really really great. and the lyrics from sarah are as always wonderful. i wonder why there is only one song on it and none on CHSIB.

9/10

JacenSolo · 06 May 2003, 18:55

this is one of my driving songs !!
My Score: 8.5

TeamNZfan · 11 May 2003, 11:18

I think WTTN is an excellent CD but I have never liked this song!

I think the vocals and musical arrangement are great but I have a real problem with the words! Maybe I am being to politically correct. Mabybe I don't really 'get' the song ...

Overall this would only be a 5/10 vote

sherrie87 · 13 May 2003, 20:51

I agree with most of you, this is an absolutely rocking song! I listen to this almost every evening as I am washing dishes. Start with this one, and by the time I get to "Original Sin" the kitchen is clean! I love the lyrics, this is the most Steinman-like song not written by Steinman, IMHO.

RichieBoy · 29 May 2003, 04:54

Fantastic song 8/10

Ive nearly worn the CD out!!

badger · 03 Jul 2003, 01:08

This song has some real power in it. You really get swept up into it, a truly great piece of rock and roll.

WTTN is one of my all time favourite albums, and so this would always have to gt a high rating from me, and I will give it a fast paced:

9/10

mariella · 24 Jul 2003, 02:12

I also like to play this one in my car. Great song.

9/10

Evan · 24 Jul 2003, 19:08

This is among my favorite Paul Jacobs/Sarah Durkee songs. I love the line about the cops trying to get the under age sex on video tape. This is a really good rocker.

7/10

Just wanted to mention WOH, Bat Out Of Hell is about going as fast as you can go. And neighborhood is basically about, teenage love. almost, slightly almost like paradise, but two different stories.

shadow1000001 · 23 Aug 2003, 03:54

I always have it cranked in the car. I just love the lyrics

9.5/10

Rozi · 07 Sep 2003, 18:26

I love this song as well - its got an amazin beat. Its a get up and go song that u can't help singing along to ( except i cant sing - but that aint gonna stop me!)
I'll admit there are hardly any meatloaf song i dont like, but this and razors edge are two of my all time favs. I drive my mates mad by listenin to them loads.
I'd give it 9 outta 10.

little_dancer · 15 Sep 2003, 22:34

ok, I'm gonna be REAL unpopular here, but I had to be devils advocat...I think Meat sings this song with great power, but I find the lyrics quite offensive.

I understand the ideas of anti-PC, and the frustration men MUST feel about some of the sexual politics going on...

but having had to flee, fight, and call the police myself before...I don't know..

"shrink in the bed, lord, sitting on the headboard, swearing that we both got raped" is hard for me to handle...

It's my least favorite Meat Loaf song...

sorry if this offends anyone, but I felt that the point had to be made. Maybe there is some satire involved in the lyrics, and I'm missing part of the point but...
yes means no means yes means no...

NOpe, NO means NO.
sorry if that offends anybody....I really needed to say that, though.

2/10
