: : Hello!
: : This is my first post!
: Hopefully not your last, fellow MEATLOAF (the singer) fan!
: : Anyway, I am a big Meat Loaf fan (the singer) and I frequent many sites related to him.
: You too? What's your favorite? I can't pick, all the sites of him are pretty damn good. It's like making a website of Jesus, even the worst one is still about Jesus, am I right?
: Come to think of it, did Mr. Christ ever record anything as brilliant as TWO OUTTA THREE AINT BAD? No sir. In fact, he didn't record ANYTHING. Whattup with Christ?
: :Well, a big part of his success is his primary songwrite, Jim Steinman.
: That, and his deal with the devil. Just kidding, guy! Yeah, Steinman is totally the man. I tell you, all other songwriters write limp dick little ditties that clock in at under four minutes. Whatever, Mr. Steinman and Mr. Loaf give us ten minute plus epics featuring cameos by such legends as Phil Rizutto. Word has it their next joint effort will be a single song that lasts three generations of the listener's family. I for one, can't wait. And I envy my grandson, because he'll get to see how it ends.
: :Steinman recently had some success with Whistle Down the Wind, a musical in London. The way I understand things, he is now working on a musical version of Batman. I was just wondering what everyone thought of this idea, especially Mr. Smith.
: This is the idea to end all ideas. Loaf could even play King Tut from the old TV show. This is the ideas to end all ideas.
: :I know it's not out yet, and judgment should be reserved for that time, but I was wondering what everyone thought of the idea of having a musical, on Broadway, based on a comic book...
: Oh, but it is out. It's out, in our hearts. I don't know what I meant by that, but I don't see how this idea can fail. ANNIE was a huge sucess and that didn't even have any fighting or neat gadgets.
: I for one, think the best comic to be adapted into a broadway musical is DEVIL DINOSAUR AND MOON BOY.
: And remember, PhantomJ92, the magic wasn't in your cassingle of I WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR LOVE (BUT I WON'T DO THAT). The magic was in YOU.
I loved meatloaf in Fightclub(the 5th best movie ever), i am constantly reminded of the part, my name being Bob...Bob's got Bitchtits
