Which Steinman song do you wish Meat had recorded?

Evil One · 13 Jun 2009, 16:30

At the risk of turning into Wario Loaf, another poll! I picked Making Love. I think had it been recorded around the time of Bat 2 and produced by Steinman it could have been amazing. Then again so could at least half a dozen others on the list!

**RadioMaster** · 13 Jun 2009, 16:58

there are so many good choices.....
I went with what part of my body, for one reason: This is the song of a sad, broken, lonely, (old,) man, and it's the only song, that I think would still suit his voice if he'd record it now or had for Bat3. And another reason is that it's the song I'd most love to hear with a proper studio production.

samurai7 · 13 Jun 2009, 17:05

was torn between Making Love, Braver and What Part...
chose What Part in the end, same as RJ

AndrewG · 13 Jun 2009, 18:18

Body definitely.

Wario · 13 Jun 2009, 18:23

holding out for a hero anyone?

Well I picked Stark Ravving love, I'm a BFg completist.

Oh and I wish I thought of this

Seriously??????

That would sound so incredibly dumb sung by Meat if you ask me. Lyrics like "Man of Steel" (I used to be strong etc) work for Meat but him singing about him needing a Hero is rather contra cliche and just idiotic to be sung by him imo.

Evil One · 13 Jun 2009, 19:44

I think if you ignored what the words actually meant then Holding Out For A Hero would sound quite good sung by Meat. Anyway, I didn't include it in the poll as it was written by Dean Pitchford, not Jim.

**RadioMaster** · 13 Jun 2009, 21:25

well, you have the stark raving love bit in it, that makes it sort of jim written...

wolfy35 · 13 Jun 2009, 23:38

Can I choose 2?

When pressed it has to be "Still the children" for me cant explain why but Meat fans will understand

Given more choices it would have to be Children plus Braver than we are and What Part Of My Body Hurts The Most?

Pudding · 13 Jun 2009, 23:44

It's difficult to imagine Meat Loaf singing a song that Jim has already done with a female singer, so I'll plump for What Part Of My Body only because it hasn't been officially released on any format.

Your forgiven, well at least this is Meat related and has some point !!!

I quite like the live recording of Dance In My Pants with Karla...

But the Bonnie ones wouldn't sound right because she's made them her own.

That's a matter of opinion.

Out of interest, how many people here discovered Pandora's Box AFTER Bat2 was released?

Yup, guilty of that.

Doubt the majority of the 10+ million Bat2 owners even know Pandora and BFG exist.
Thought Pandora's Box was stunning (except for Little Red Book and 20th Century Fox though). For me it has the definitive version of It's all Coming Back to Me now on it. Also I prefer Good Girls go to Heaven on here as well, though Meat's live version did kick ass.

AndrewG · 14 Jun 2009, 01:45

Not to mention Future, also a more definitive version on Pandora, but I do like Meat's vocals on it on his version.

i agree with you on everything except that. meat's "live" version (Soundcheck soundboard) of GGTH beats pandora's box alone. But the Meat's studio version is the best overall

yep, the same way Celine made IACBTMN her own

(actually that's not true, her version is rather mediocre)

Aint that the truth. It's a real shame Patti doesn't do her own gigs where she could perform the song live or release some sort of CD.

~Helen~ · 14 Jun 2009, 12:35

What part of my body for the same reason Pudding gave, and RJ for that matter.

If that wasn't on the list, I would be torn between making love and tonight is what it means to be young or we're still the children ... though i'm not sure, vocally, which i'd opt for.

Wario · 14 Jun 2009, 15:45

isnt their a song called "renegade angel' and "God has left the building" jim recorded for a potential meat project? or am i mixing stuff up again?

Evil One · 14 Jun 2009, 16:33

If I've got this right, Renegade Angel was the rumoured title of what eventually became the Bad For Good album. Also Jim talked about Renegade Angel being a 20 minute car crash, sex and death song so I guess that turned out to be Objects In The Rear View Mirror.

God Has Left The Building was part of Tanz Der Vampire.
