Meat Loaf

FUCK YEAH! As always the artwork is amazing. Now It's time to finally hear the next chapter in this epic. While John 5 has not always been my favorite musician, I give credit where it is due and he is a great guitar player. I am interested in hearing his work with El Loafels. Cheers!
 
Been a fan since the start..and never have seen a bad show from him....been a few years though since I last saw him.

of note....Steinman actually wrote his "official" second album which at times is better than Bat1, it was after that album they parted ways.....for whatever reason......

Like the song, album should be interesting though with that said, a true Bat3 should have been a total Stienman affair as there are generally a Steinman song or two on all his albums (many covers from what should have been Meats second album Bad for Good but done as a Steinman solo abum...think he is close to having covered all of that album by now, one or two left)....suppose it's all to get it off the shelves more than anything since his last two studio albums after Bat2, while great albums (as most of them are) did not move well.

If you 're looking for a Live album that has some killer versions of Bat1 and some other great songs try to find Meatloaf Live at Wembly (have not looked for it). It is from the Blind Before I Stop tour and is a fantastic live album. Was an Arista release but I do not think it was released stateside, import only (not even listed on his offical website).

Oh...and a Meatloaf, Steinman, Oliva, O'neill collaboratio would be just OVER THE TOP!!!!......and probably take 10-15 years to finish and release...lolol

This is what happens when Meat Loaf songs aren't written by Jim Steinman.

You just answered the question I was going to ask, I was wondering if Steinman was a part of it.

Oh well...
 
John 5 was a guitarist for Marilyn Manson, among a few others, and currently plays lead guitar for Rob Zombie. He also has some solo albums out. The parts I have heard are impressive. Really energetic.
 
lyrics to said song. Why do I think these were originally meant for Operation Mindcrime 2?
I’ve been living my life in a cage
Freedom spits in my face
It was such a disgrace
And I was lonely
And feeling empty
Desperate

I had my head in a noose
I had nothing to loose
Had enough of abuse
And now I’m dangerous
Hateful, contagious
It haunts us

I’m angry (I’m angry)
I’m raging (I’m raging)
I’m breaking through the pain

The monster's loose
And now you know the truth
Tell me can you feel it
As you hit the wall

The monsters loose
And now you have to choose
And prove you can take it
To the top before you fall

I’ve walked a slippery road
Felt a twitch in my soul
Through the wind and the cold
With no protection
Just one direction
Destruction

I’ve paid for all my mistakes
Taking all I can take
Until I’m ready to break
I’m feeling vicious
And so outrageous
It breaks us

I’m leaving
Still breathing
I’m tearing through these chains

The monster's loose
And as you know the truth
Tell me can you feel it
As you hit the wall

The monster's loose
And now you have to choose
And prove you can take it
To the top and never fall

(Musical interlude)

I’ve lived a thousand years in darkness
Banished all alone
Inside my mind with just my madness
Behind these walls of stone

I was falling apart at the seams
Holding my breath just to breathe
I tasted the sting of my tears

(Musical interlude)

I was waking up stuck in a dream
Ran out of air, couldn’t screamed
Wasted away by my fears

OOOOOOO

(Musical interlude)

The monster's loose
And now you know the truth
Tell me can you feel it
As you hit the wall

The monster's loose
And now you have to choose
And prove that you can take it
To the top and never fall

The monster's loose
You’ve lost your last excuse
Now show me that you got it
Even when you fall

The monster's loose
This game is win or loose
Sometimes you gotta’ do it
And show the world you want it all

Yeahhhhhhaw
Yeahhhhhhaw
Yeahhhhhhaw
Yeahhhhhhaw

Yeahhhhhhhhhhhaw
