A (semi) fitting tribute

PanicLord · 24 Jul 2008, 22:22

Hi All

I really loved the way the Jim Steinman fan site did a fan CD tribute to Steinman, and I thought I would do the same thing for Meat.

I reckoned the CD from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra would be a good place to start, and I first tried YTTWROOM. It's not bad - it's only a 2nd take, and the volume needs levelling etc (and all the usual excuses... :) ). Seriously, I am NOT a professional singer and it shows, but I just wanted to give it a go.

IF anyone wants to hear it, please PM me and i'll send it to you!

Luv

TRex

I was just thinking of a similar idea a couple days ago, albeit much wider in scope. I was gonna suggest that all the fans at MLUKFC contribute to an annual thing or something, starting at Stoney and Meatloaf and ending at Bat III (or whatever new album(s) Meat has put out by then). Call it too ambitious, but I think there are many out there who even jokingly could lay down some tracks.

Seems to me you've just volunteered yourself as project manager

Pud

WhenItComes2LovingU · 25 Jul 2008, 02:23

Willingly, Pud, willingly.

or....another idea....
we coud raise a shitload of money and try to get DOTV reproduced....

WhenItComes2LovingU · 25 Jul 2008, 16:26

Okay, okay, I've heard that one before, I get it. When I tried to do it when I was a kid (just a year or two ago

), I had no clue how much money was actually involved. I had some rough math that didn't actually add up to what I thought it should. Doesn't mean that bringing back Tanz in English is a bad idea, I had other sources of money who were interested and I'm still gonna try to do it.

Actually, you just need the shit and not the money.

how about something easier,, the next meat single out from a new album
lets all go out and buy it,buy it,buy it,buy it,

Pudding · 26 Jul 2008, 23:29

Perhaps some people want to do something that's a bit more personal as a tribute to Meat. Easier isn't always better.

I think the cd tribute is a good idea. It would be nice to see other takes on the non Steinman tracks for a change in my opinion. I reckon hardly any of them have ever been covered.

samurai7 · 27 Jul 2008, 04:17

I'll give it a go.

WhenItComes2LovingU · 28 Jul 2008, 04:15

And let's not just see slavish reproductions of the rarely covered ones...do something new! Rock up the BBIS tracks! Try a horrid flamenco rendition of something! Meat in a loving new style.

Wario · 28 Jul 2008, 06:13

I'll getta plane over there and do Amnesty is Granted and Masculine for the tribute. no lie

See if we can make it a school trip with me and the band. Our christmas show set list has lotsa rarely covered songs:

Where The Rubber Meets The Road
Bad For Good
Rock & Roll Mercenaries
Hot Summer Night [Monologue] / You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth
Out of the Frying Pan (and Into the Fire)
Read 'Em and Weep
Wasted Youth [Monologue] / Masculine

I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That)
Amnesty Is Granted
Who Needs The Young? [Monologue] / Modern Girl
I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us
Surf's Up
Bat Out Of Hell

Natural Pleasure [Monologue] / Lost Boys and Golden Girls [Female Solo]
Paradise By The Dashboard Light
Testify
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
Rock & Roll Dreams Come Through

**allrevvedup** · 28 Jul 2008, 12:55

could be fun to give it a try...

But i won't sing anything from blind before i stop

Not a live show. A fan tribute recording.

OH ... well i call dibs on Masculine

PanicLord · 30 Jul 2008, 20:47

As not even one person PM'd me (sniff) I did a little work and am now very pleased with THIS version - let me know what you think!

PanicLord · 31 Jul 2008, 09:28

By the way, one of the reasons I like the Royal Philharmonic is because they do incluide some of the best non-Steinman stuff, and as you say, this doesn't get covered enough, so I'm going to have a go!

Wario · 31 Jul 2008, 18:49

DANG GOOD RECORDING!

Thanks Wario! I played all the instruments myself too

PanicLord · 02 Aug 2008, 00:33

I've started working on 2 out of 3 aint bad, but took the words is still available for now!

~Helen~ · 05 Aug 2008, 14:35

Good to hear your recording. Much better than anything I could do! Are they real instruments or on a keyboard? I'm interested to know what you used & how you did it etc. Will look forward to hearing your other versions.

Also, just to add my two-penneth in here, I think a Meat tribute album (like the NBAMN one the Steinman fans did) is an excellent idea. Despite what Mike might say, I really don't think that I can sing (not to a quality any one would want to listen to anyway!) and I can only play musical instruments to what I would say was a basic level, but if there is anyway I could help in this I'd love to get on board. And hopefully I can look forward to hearing everyone's contributions.

And Mike....you are contibuting whether you like it or not. No argument

PanicLord · 05 Aug 2008, 21:32

I'm afraid it wasn't really me playing the instruments, it was the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra :)

WhenItComes2LovingU · 06 Aug 2008, 01:07

Well, I'd like to ask the mods, let's start a thread in the appropriate forum for the tribute recording. Because I suggested it, I'd be more than happy to step in as production supervisor or whatever the title is. It's about time someone other than Meat did some of these songs, right? Let's do this!
