Meat Loaf's plans for the future?

[nightinr]

Rumours of old material being released? Potential new UK tour? Anybody know of Meat's plans for the next 12 months?

[AndrewG]

I've set myself a reminder for April 28th 2018 to report back to you.

[Sebastian.]

He may have lunch today. I however can't confirm this.

[eltmatt]

I unfortunately think thats it re-new material and tours. I hope for old live stuff to be officially released

Considering what he said about how his back hasn't improved at all, i doubt he will want to tour yet. Need patience and to wait until he heals before that. Here's hoping he heals up fast. He said he is frustrated and depressed from it. Poor bloke

I seem to remember around the recording of Bat 3 that Meat wasn't allowed to record the new songs by Jim at that time but did anyway. I wonder if they have a vocal of Body from back then that they will use?

Meat said one of the musical producers said he should record it, so I'd guess he would have to record it now. Just a guess though. Meat sounded great on Bat 3 it would be wonderful if he had done even a take or two of it, we can always hope until told what the case is.

You could tell Braver wanted to have BODY on it

Yeah he sure did. I'd be happy with Bat 3 or a current vocal.

YES. Totally

[eltmatt]

I can't see a current vocal sounding good enough for this song.

I'd say 50/50.

I think that we'll get a final best of and a final album but no more concerts. Meat hasn't got a 50% setting. His performances are all out. If he can't to 100% I don't think that he will do anymore.

A best of is probably a given but I doubt we'll have another album unless there's a bunch of already recorded unreleased stuff hiding somewhere.

Personally I reckon Meat will just pick and choose his acting roles.

I agree about live shows. He puts so much into it and if he is hurting why put himself at risk of more? He asked for copies of some really old stuff so some retrospective set may be possible but those were hardly "hits" in any sense of the word.

I have a wish for the best available live material to be put out in the best condition they can get it in that would be listenable. Cheap Trick, Alice Cooper, etc. have a lot of old radio shows on CD but I think they are technically bootlegs. I'd like for Meat to choose the material and get paid for his effort. He would release quality as opposed to somebody out for a quick buck.

I recall Meat said he had some fantastic soundboards he was going to post here but he was worried somebody would copy and sell it. Maybe now he can sell it. That won't stop copying but an official version would be better than a cheap ripped copy.

Thing is, I can't see any album coming out with copies of songs that have been pm'd off internet forums. Maybe they are making a new career retrospective dvd and it will play in the background or something?

I agree. I don't think anything less than a master copy would have much sound quality, especially on such old recordings.

Nothing will be released until after the cast albums released
