BRAVER - WHAT'S IN THE BAG THREAD

ThatWriterGuy · 09 Sep 2016, 16:26

If it isn't 'all the evil in the world' (ala Pandora's Box), then it has to be the spirit or the 'soul' of rock n' roll (how else you gonna fight the four horse-bikers of the apocalypse/music industry!).

That's my take, anyhow. I could've asked Jim ... but that'd just be cheating!

Good topic! Well there seems to be some green smoke coming out of it, so it's gotta be some sort of spirit gun.

Who 'I' am?? Literally? Or metaphorically? I'm not sure I can help with the second one (even on the best of days).

proctorloaf · 09 Sep 2016, 17:11

literal would be fine :)

I'm a writer from the UK. I met Jim several years ago and - for reasons I won't get into here (because, honestly, who really wants to hear about my shit anyway?) - I'm indebted to him forever. I'm involved in some capacity with the BAT musical, but I can't post about that yet. It all started as a 'favour in kind' (my writing for yours), and I guess Jim liked my stuff and my approach (and my work ethic) enough to trust me with -- well, what he trusted me with.

In a nutshell, that's it

It's the green kryptonite secret crystal of symphonic rock music no one else has and allows you to make music no one else can make. It started it's life as a small green splinter and was very weak. But it grew and grew when it was past down through generations of musicians over millennia, gaining its strength.

Bruce Springsteen had it for a while in the 70s when it was close to its ultimate strength but was then past down to Jim and Meat and they have had it ever since.

They borrow it from each other from time to time as they are the best of friends.

But when they work together the secret crystal harnesses the power of Meat and Jim's friendship and then it burns the brightest it will ever burn in the universe and it unlocks its magical music powers...

I'm going to see the Bat musical 8 times in Manchester so far, so I'm look gin forward to your work :)

WHAT?! 8?? Might nick a last minute seat in London before it finally leaves our shores but Im in Mancs 18th Feb - 2nd ever show, didn't want to miss it for the universe!!

ThatWriterGuy · 09 Sep 2016, 23:04

I won't be at Manchester (at least, 'as of now') but I will be at the London showing at some point (Jim also won't be at Manchester - 'as of now, subject to change').

proctorloaf · 09 Sep 2016, 23:08

Jim's said that he will be in Manchester on Facebook, but I'm taking everything with a pinch of salt (i work in the UK theatre industry) woop woop!

When was this? Last he told me he wasn't going to be there, only London.

Danny L · 10 Sep 2016, 00:15

If I enjoy Manchester I will seriously consider a last minute trip to the London show before it leaves the country.

Cheap ticket and a Travelodge. TWG do you know what nights you're there? PM me

Also they are casting RIGHT NOW so I was told yesterday. Not literally. They're probably all up west getting pissed.

Sounds like the Pick of Destiny.

Bruce had that briefly, too, only he didn't know what he had, so he tossed it into the audience one night; some kid named Eddie (as in Van Halen) caught it, and the rest is history.

No idea yet -- ask me again closer to the time

chairboys · 12 Sep 2016, 20:12

EUREKA!
I've got it. Here I am killing time whilst little miss chairboys is dancing and I'm blasting out Braver in the car.
The Cd case is resting on the steering wheel back to front and the answer jumped out at me unintentionally.
The green ooze is a person and it's so blooming obvious considering who we are dealing with.
It is HOOK!
The hand is visible.
Honestly.

CarylB · 12 Sep 2016, 21:29

I still think it's magic

But given what Meat has said about the horsemen representing the music industry, I think that bag contains what the duo need to stand up to and vanquish them .. could be the songs, Meat's drive, or as I see it, the magic they create and have to stand firm and deliver their vision, their way, break the mould, and sod the lot of them!!

I reckon it's gotta to be the mythical bat from bat out of hell (or happy bob)

I even see elements from the very best of cover, deep in the background, a truly brilliant piece of cover art.
