    I thought the new album was called "Back Into Hell" or something like
    that?  
    
    I've also seen that video (saw the whole thing).  It's like a Beauty
    and the Beast/Phantom of the Opera sort of theme to the screenplay.  I
    don't remember much about the song, it must have been kinda boring.

    The few seconds I caught were real snoozers.

    
    	The 2nd album had the song "Modern Girl" on it, I believe.
    
    	I have the album, but forgot the name of it.

    I thought the second album was ok!Everything else has been downhill.I
    looked at the album yesterday and one of the songs was called "life's a
    lemon and I want my money back" or something like that.It made me laugh
    a bit! 8)

    I heard Bat Out of Hell II at the weekend, and beleive me, Life's a
    Lemon and I Want My Money Back, is about the best thing on the album!
    
    Will Bonzo go to see this dude in March '94.... I think not!

    he's sold out the SE&CC so there must be a bit of a following still!
    
    
    
    						ian

    
    
    	I think the full title of the album is
    	"Bat Out of Hell II: Return to Hell"
    

    I wonder if he'll need to carry oxygen to survive his stage show like
    he did the last time he toured?

    He is cool- SO he is a little chubby!!!! Are we being prejudice?

    a little chubby?......you're being very kind to him. 8)

    	Greg, did he really have to take oxygen with him?
    	That's pretty funny.  Last I heard, he was doing
    	little college tours.  Seemed pathetically humiliating.
    
    

I heard the new song and thought it was pretty decent. Very reminiscient
of the title track from 'Bat Out Of Hell'. The same sort of changes between
piano ballad and revved-up guitar sections. IMO, if you liked the first one
then you'll like this one (and I liked the first one)....

    yea ! Me too!

>    	Greg, did he really have to take oxygen with him?
    
    Yeah, that's what I'd read.
    
    gh

    I heard he had to do it on the Bat out of hell tour but last time I saw
    him (about 6 years ago)he seemed to be ok(ish) 8)

    The Meatloaf I saw in Wayne's World and on a recent TV show looked
    NOTHING like the dude on tour in '78 with the oxygen tanks (a true
    story).

    I'd heard he'd lost a ton o' weight for charity and helped raise a lot
    of cash.

    What was the name of that Steve Martin movie he was in?  It only came
    out last year.  Meatloaf looked in excellent shape compared to the
    drug-infested younger years!  They should do a "before and after"
    video of the guy... "this is your brain on drugs".
    
    Anywho, I'll scope out the album 'cause Bat Out of Hell (1!) is, IMO,
    one great classic.

    You mean he doesn't have his "Rocky Horror" look any more?
    
    gh

The new song is called "I Would Do Anything (But I Won't Do That)". The album
version clocks in at almost 12 minutes long....

alan

    
    Well, I saw the entire video last night.  I don't know man, it seems
    to me that Meatloaf is living off of the past.  I mean the song sounded
    so much like at least one of the songs off B.O.H.-1 that I kept
    thinking that he was screwing the words up.  At first listen, I wasn't
    impressed.  I'd like to hear the entire album though before giving up
    on it.
    
    
    Hammer

    
    	I saw the video last night also, and I liked the song ... I
    	think I'm going to pick up the album tonight.  It was differ-
    	ent enough from his 1st album to be likeable.
    
    	I have "Bad Attitude" in the car, but forgot to listen to it
    	this morning, so I'm going to listen to it on the way home.
    
    	BTW ... what won't he do for love?  Anyone figure out what
    	the new song is about?

    	"I won't do _THAT_ ..."
    	
    	you're welcome.
    	...SJ...

    
    
    	Heard a tune last night that sounded like Meatloaf.
    	Called something like "Good Girls Go To Heaven, Bad Girls
    	Go Everywhere"
    
    	Despite it being cliche' it sounded like a pretty decent
    	tune.  Anyone know if that's one of the songs on the new
    	album?
    

    Sounds like Meat-head took a clue from The Tubes..."Don't touch me
    THERE"...

FYI, the new Meatloaf album entered the charts this week at Number Three!

alan

    oh boy...the charts?? it's bubble gum time again.
    
                                  

    
    	RE: JJ
    
    	Yes, "Good Girls Go to Heaven ..." is one of the songs on the
    	new album.
    
    							GTI

    a friend of mine was talking about this song.It seems like someone else
    did it first and now ol' Meaty boy's covering it.If I remember who did
    it when I'll put it in!
    
    						ian

    
    Cheap Trick did a track called "Good Girls Go to Heaven,Bad Girls go
    Everywhere". I think it's from the album "The Doctor" but I'm not sure.    
    
    I haven't heard the Meat Loaf track so I don't know if it's the same
    song.
    
    Del.

    
    	the sound of the woman singing on the single sounds too
    	familiar to me, please confirm that it's Bonny Tyler !?
    
    	thanks
    	...SJ...

>    	the sound of the woman singing on the single sounds too

Supposedly it's someone called "Mrs. Loud"; I don't know who that really is.

Good connection though - Bonnie Tyler had a huge hit with the Jim Steinman
song "Total Eclipse Of The Heart".

    	Well I borrowed the new CD from a friend of mine.
    	Listened to half of it, then got bored.  On a 
    	scale of 1-10 it gets a 6.5
    
    	Doesn't compare to the first one. 
    
    	JJ
    

    
    
    	Ditto JJ... I bought it a few days ago and started listening
    	to it here at work but it didn't impress me.  I liked the
    	release being heard on the radio but that's about it.

    Sounds like Meat annd his writer pal Jim Steinman have been in the deep
    freeze for the last fifteen years... the new BOOH sounds like the old
    one!  High-tech Phil Spector via Brooce Springsteen.  Time for a new
    idea, boys.
    
    							Brian

    	If anyone's interested in buying the new release from me
    	let me know....Say... $10?
    	
    	I've played it once and just don't care for it.  The jewel
    	box is cracked from putting it into my work bag but the
    	CD itself is fine.
    
    	tigg~~~~

    
    	I agree!  I finally broke down last week and bought it.  It was
    	way boring!  How come we can't get our money back on these things?
    	You would think you should be able to return 'em if they suck,
    	ya know?  I'm sure it's because people would just be buying them
    	to tape and return.  Darn.  Anybody want mine, let me know.  'Else
    	it goes to the next trap shoot along with the INXS, U2, and the
    	Milli Vanilli crap.
    
    	Hammer.
    

    
      I saw the Meatloaf video last night on VH1....Anything for Love.  The 
    song was good, but I didn't understand what HE didn't want to do for
    the Female in the Video...What the heke was she Asking....
    
     Someone Give me a Clue...  :)
    
    /Sax
    

    
    
    	Well at one point during the song she says that he's going	
    	to cheat on her and his answer is that he'd do anything for
    	love but he won't do that.
    
    	?
    
    	tigg~~~

    
    Hum, I get it...If I were her I cheat on Him...Meatloaf put on Some
    UGLY pounds, Must be those Pills GTI gave 'em !
