Man Of Steel Video - An All-time Low? - Page 2

I did buy the MOS single. I don't like the track, just bought it to help! it didn't work!! I do like the two live tracks that follow and listen to them quite often. I wish there were more legitimate live recordings.

MOS was the wrong single to launch on the UK at that time given Meat's situation. LUOL would have been much better in my opinion. Testify too.

I'm not a big fan of LUOL but i have to say i think Testify or even DISTwould have been great choices.

DIST was really memorable live in 2003 and for all the right reasons, but like MOS I don't really enjoy the album version. Testify could have made a good UK christmas #1 ( maybe ) but Meat wasn't fit to promote it. Infact it still could at some stage.

DIST was out on single; or wasn't it in the UK?

Bart · 06 Jan 2006, 15:32

No, it wasn't, Ankie. Only in Germany. It reached #7, If I remember correctly.

Paul191 · 06 Jan 2006, 19:04

WOW! no#7, thats a high position, if only it was released in the UK.....

I thought it was...i remember Meat coming on to a tv show here in the uk, 'this morning' and singing it! Im probably wrong! I liked man of steel, and somehow ended up with two copies of the single, if im honest though i think he could have released any of the songs off that album, it was fantastic!!

No it wasn't, COSIB and MOS were the only two. I heard alot of him on steve wright on radio 2 and he was on Richard and Judy, but he didn't sing. He talked about an attempted mugging on himself and JS, and the mugger didn't get Meats dimond ring. Something like that. He certainly didn't do as much TV as the listing promised,

The video was just bad, the song itself was good but it's just a pity that when there was so many other upbeat songs on the album that he didn't release testify or love you out loud instead.

As for the single, I like the edited version without the poem at the start, but Meat sounded very ill on the live songs, his voice was nowhere near as powerful.

I never did 'get' the video of DIST!?...think it didn't do the song justice...

But, I was overwhelmed with the way Meat performed this live, despite his obvious health problems during that tour, imo he managed to get so much emotion into that one song...it is one of my live-performances from that tour...these memories are stil treasured today!

...priceless...

Love,
Mariella
...sorry to go even further Off-topic...as I do know this thread is originally about MOS and not DIST...well, in an atempt to get it back on topic...I didn't like both videos lol...but love the songs!

I agree Mariella i didn't get the video either (i thought it was just me

)
Any videos i've seen from the album MOS,DIST and CHSIB were all rubbish in my opinion not usual Meat Loaf quality at all. However as long as he blows me away with live performances i'm not really bothered with the rubbish video's i just think it's a shame cos he can't be happy with them

Paul191 · 07 Jan 2006, 22:40

I agree his live performances are amazing but, good videos are needed to make the single work and you are right when you say the videos from CHSIB are all rubbish. This could be one of the reason they failed so much. Writing this just gave me a sudden rush of joy that the label is being sued. Huraaaaay!!!!
