Song's you'd like to hear Meat cover. - Page 2

Wario · 27 May 2011, 09:48

I'd actually like to see him do Save a Horse Ride a Cowboy with Paul Crook

JennaG · 27 May 2011, 12:26

I'd like to see him sing something like 'Hello Again' or 'I Am, I Said' by Neil Diamond because both songs tell stories and Meat can tell a story so well through song. I already like both songs and I think it'd be interesting to see how Meat could make them his own.

melon · 27 May 2011, 13:24

OH YES! I'd love to hear him do some Neil Diamond.

GDW · 27 May 2011, 13:47

Meat should do "Date With Destiny" by Blue Tears.

TheDoode · 27 May 2011, 21:42

Both "You Didn't Break It" by Steve Vai from the Flexable Leftovers album, and "Wishful Thinking" by Poison from the Hollyweird album. Both relatively unknown songs, that sound like they were tailored or demo'd for Meat. Especially the chorus where Brett is doing his best Meat Loaf impression!

Wishful Thinking:

Doode.

Technically it wouldn't be a cover since it was originally written for Meat, but I would love him to do Total Eclipse Of The Heart.

How about this one?

Sorry, this is a teeny bit off topic, but I reckon Richard O'Brien could probably write Meat some ace tracks, and maybe a cracking duet...

I enjoy Greg Fulkerson's very much.

*Was he in Blue Tears?*
Shame he pass a way, I have never forgot about this recording even when I heard it back in the early 2000's. Haven't heard it again until this morning.

Yeah I think he was. I read somewhere that this song was offered to Meat Loaf in the early 90's.

IMHO anything Richard's done besides rocky horror is

Id personally love meat to do:

BAD ROMANCE or POKER FACE

I'm not too excited by the prospect of a Meaty Total Eclipse, but you raise a good point re: covering a few more Steinman tracks!

Meat did a fantastic job doing Surfs Up, Nowhere Fast, Left in The Dark and Original Sin without Jim. I'm sure he'd do justice to a few more on the whistle down the wind soundtrack.

RSG · 30 May 2011, 16:43

Should only go near Steinman tracks with Jim involved. (my 2 cents anyway) His Surf's Up & Nowhere's fast work real well. Original Sin & Left In The Dark, they lacked something, but not in the same way TMIL's covers lacked something. This is my 25 cents anyway.

If Meat will cover, I like to see him cover F*ck You Anyway from the Sweeny Todd movie. Or at least there was a video clip of it circulating on youtube!

I think there's a thread already been made like this but I couldn't find it.

I'm sorry but I love Meat because he is unlike anybody else and I feel he is at his best with songs that are "his". Of course I love his voice whatever he is singing, but he does't need to cover other peoples music, in my opinion.

He already covers many artists. The Doors, Warren Zevon, Chuck Berry and Elvis come instantly to mind.

Yes I know, and I love them all, with his spin on them. But my point is that his talent is unique, and the combination of a new song and his voice is far superior than any cover, no matter how enjoyable.

RSG · 30 May 2011, 23:42

I love how he took James Michael's take on 'Los Angeloser' and delivered to a sonic sounding level of a distant future of LA and making it sound cool. I really enjoy the 'Hang Cool' story now!

But would you not agree that the real core of Teddy Bear is made up of the Rick Brantley covers: Peace, Outside and Madness? Plus Prize Fight Lover?

Re-interpreting songs is an integral part of Meats modus operandi.

Same here. I always wanted to hear him record Hallelujah, with Patti singing harmony on the Hallelujah lines. I think it would also make a great live performance like Forever Young was in 03-04.
