This obituary to Meatloaf has quite rightly also become one for him and his long time friend and songwriting compatriot Jim Steinman I mentioned before 'Bad for Good'  and the brilliance of Steinmans lyrics. So here he is, JIm Steinman with Bad for Good.

er yes woodie, but the subject wasn't the song. I'm sure Queen would have been very happy to have Mercury singing with them in 2003 but for some reason it wasn't possible....

i'll accept that Freddie had a better mustache than Patti.

Say farewell to meat and jim properly.

The great Patti Russo toured with Meat for many years

i've had an evening and morning going through some of Meats stuff, some great live concerts indeed.

Patti Russo could share the stage with Lisa Fischer she is that good.  Yes, Max Weinberg and Roy Bittan along with Todd Rungren and the bass player who's name suddenly escapes me, [which is a bit worrying cos i just finished reading about him] They were also the band used on the Bat out of hell first album. Steinman himself no mean Pianist, heard Bittan play and left it to him, felt he couldn't compete with a master.

anyway, thanks JIm And Meat for everything you left us.

oh dear, took me a long time to get around to this post. Mainly because i checked Meat's death on google only to find out that his longtime songwriting partner Jim Steinman died just before him. That saddened me even more actually [i didn't know] In my estimation Jim was one of the all time great songwriters. Nearly every song he wrote was a rock opera. A very clever lyricist indeed.

all very sad.

Anyway i first saw Meatloaf in London probably '77 or '78. This was when he was at the height of his vocal prowess, sadly after a time his voice started to decline. But, no matter. Both Meat and Jim left their mark on Roll and Roll history. I'm so glad i heard his greatness.

For any Meatloaf fans i can well recommend 'Bad for Good'  which was intended by Steinman to be Meatloaf's follow up album to Bat out of Hell but, because he had lost his voice Jim recorded it himself with Rory Dodd . A great album.

i did notice that 'I would do anything for love' the official video that is, from Bat out of hell 2, has been watched 188 million times on you tube.

Cain't argue with that.

Two absolute giants.

oh? sorry QG, you know i look at very little news. i didn't even know that there is such as a vaccine pass.

i wish the people here would get out on the streets too. Doubtful though , they've been scared to death.

You haven't been playing simple twist of fate now , have you?

that one could be a bit over the head Seven... it's after '64.

honestly i kid you not, hearing the Poke belting out tambourine man last night if i had closed my eyes i could have been in Greenwich Village circa '63.

it was similar last week too, listening to PD Elvis. Soi 3 felt like the Vegas strip.

Has he written any songs since then?

well now, 3 or 4 maybe.... i doubt he sold recently the rights to only 2 songs for 300 million dollars. [That's an actual figure QG, not a Patteryar Mail fantasy figure...

Just now, Quietguy said:

Oh no! What you do now for entertainment?!

wait patiently every day to check out your designer masks QG!  my fave is still the first one, the one that seemed to be built from scaffolding.. The Concorde one,

plus of course you belting out Mr Tambourine Man last night could [with a great stretch of goodwill] be called entertainment.....

I'm sure the moderation team could of turned his thread into club thread and he could of exercised the control he needed too. 

perhaps  Petesie didn't want a club thread? or control therefore. Perhaps he thought it could would be unseemly with his LBP duties? To be a mini-mod on here as well..

Personally i don't blame him for wanting his thread deleted, especially after your nastiness.  Although Rom seems somewhat convinced that he was responsible for Petesie's actions, i'm not sure that he was. It was you with your bitterness that started it, not Rom.

Which is why my Emmy Bar thread is now once again after an hiatus of a couple of years , declared a F.F.Z....  'Fenton Free zone' Please don't bother posting in it. Not once.

hold onto ya stetsons....

and welcome on behalf of Emmy to the Emmy bar and restaurant club... BM Splaten.

yes i understand Quinn. But i don't know how to do those cartoon head things that Emmy does. Which would rather defeat the object anyway!

and on behalf of Emmy, welcome to her club BM wastyhank...

mask update!

well after the Concorde mask of the previous night i have to say that QG is quickly becoming the Jean- Paul Gaultier of mask fashionista.

Last nights miracle of engineering seemed to be of a submarine design. With a conning tower complete with some sort of escape hatch at the front.

i want one! could smoke without removing the mask... just open the hatch!

can't wait for the next one......
