CarylB, OK, Greg's question may have been about 'live covers'... but for me, its mostly the same as I said before...
When I go to a Meat show (hopefully again in december or whenever he decides to come back to Holland) I want to hear Meat's own songs... I wasn't really thrilled with the 'Stomp the band'/acoustic cover set on the TVBOML tour in '99. Instead of playing Prince and the Eagles, I would have found it far more interesting to hear his own songs in an unplugged setting.
What would be the point of including recent covers in your setlist when you're an artist of Meat's status?

Probably none .. but this also wasn't what we were talking about .. this was a lighthearted thread about our dreams I thought .. songs we'd love to hear Meat's voice delivering ... doesn't need to make commercial sense .. wasn't about the set list for the tour .. just dreams and fun .. and the point? .. pleasure :)

Crystal Eyes · 30 Jul 2003, 18:14

Am I only the one who can hear Meat singing Faster than the Speed of Night? I think that would be a good one but not Total Eclipse of the Heart.

By the way does anyone know who sings the 'turn arounds' on that?

evil nickname · 30 Jul 2003, 20:00

OK Caryl, I think I get the point now :)

A fantastic singer by the name of Rory Dodd...

PanicLord · 30 Jul 2003, 20:36

Ah, well, there are sooooo many!

Dance In My Pants (Pleeeeeeeease!) - With Bonnie Tyler?

Let Me Entertain You - So much better than RW.
The Rose - Great idea there!
Glory Days - By The Boss.
Any new song that Jim writes for Bat 3!

All Coming Back would be great too (NOT with Celine!).
Crawling From The Wreckage - Dave Edmunds?
When Tomorrow Comes - Eurythmics...

That's enough for now

... What do you think?

White of High · 30 Jul 2003, 23:34

Angels Of Darkness by Rhapsody?
I know it's a 19 minutes long but why not? And it'd heavier than Meat's music but why not? And it's symphonic metal but why not?

And another: When The Smoke Is Going Down by Scorpions!!!

Shadows On The Wall · 08 Aug 2003, 11:48

Pseronally id lke to hear his spin on gilbert and sulivan - modern major general

CarylB · 08 Aug 2003, 12:22

That's really interesting Shadows .. I've often thought how suited Meat would be for G&S .. his diction is so good. Remember him saying that Richard O'B had said to him "Don't worry about trying to get all the words in Hot Patootie .. it's impossible" .. and Meat made every one count?

Modern Major General would be excellent .. and the LH Executioner's song from the Mikado? .. I can just hear him singing about his little list, particularly the final breakneck chorus!!

Yes I knew that, it was for an International Special Olympics or something like that. I have it on a cheap rock compilation cd I found.

Speaking of Queen, when Meat was a guest host on VH1 radio (or something like that), he played "We Will Rock You" as an example of songs he liked.

If you go to General Messages - A song for Meat Loaf Unforgettable Opera, you can read the lyrics for yourself and make your own choice.
I think its around the 16th April that I originally posted it.

Rob The Badger · 16 Sep 2003, 22:39

My choice would be Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen. It would be very interesting, thought I don't think it could beat Jeff Buckley's version. That was just an orgasm in sound, his voice was so beautiful.

I have the same feeling, but then with Rufus Wainwright's version (from the Shrek soundtrack).
Goosebumps all over the place...

original sin · 17 Sep 2003, 00:34

If I could hear Meat sing something previously done bya nother artist I would like to hear him sing "Crying in the chapel" I think he could do it justice with the right emotion.

bambi · 17 Sep 2003, 17:18

i'd like 2 see meat doin sumthing by Queen like bohemian rhapsody, wud b V amusing

little_dancer · 17 Sep 2003, 19:38

Eyeore-You've got me thinking Cohen again, I think I may have suggested this elsewhere in the thread, but a version of "So long Marianne" would be lovely....Yes?

How about the Queen version? Lyrically and musically better.

bambi · 18 Sep 2003, 19:42

No, there's not a Queen version -- Queen has a song that's called "Let Me Entertain You". Totally different from the Robbie Williams' song. It's on one of their CD's from before "Night at the Opera" if that helps...

bambi · 18 Sep 2003, 22:35

ahhh i only hav the platinum thing ,*thinks* shud really buy sum more tho

RSG · 04 Nov 2003, 03:51

Meat Loaf doing Steinman's Dance In My Pants, with Pearl. That would be the greatest

(I will be now using that search, more so than ever, its really helpful.)

Lady B · 04 Nov 2003, 04:54

Hmmmmm . . . for me, just about anything Bob Seger did. I think we talked a bit about it on the ROL list because I had heard "Come to Papa" on the local classic rock station (I hadn't heard it in years) and I thought it would be so cool to hear Meat do it. I'd love to hear him do "Beautiful Loser". Right off the top of my head that's all I could think of at the moment.

Lady B ~ Long live Bob Seger and homegrown Meeeeechigan Rock & Roll!!!

Gez · 05 Nov 2003, 00:03

What about 'We've Got Tonight' by Bob Segar and many others??

At the end of the day he is the main man for ballads!!

Lady B · 05 Nov 2003, 01:40

Gerry, think it's about time for me to go find that Silver Bullet Live album and listen again. There's nothing like Bob. Like Meat, he puts his signature on a song and makes it uniquely his own.

Lady B

Gez · 05 Nov 2003, 19:25

Lady B, u sure a a lady with class.
Big Bobs the man, a piece of class who doesn't get reconigsed in the UK as much as he deserves.

Think I'll go for a stroll down Mainstreat
