"I always speed when I play Bat Out Of Hell. Once I got a ticket doing 106 mph in a 55 mph zone. I beat the ticket."
"This is crazy and wild. I'm not proud of what I did but, I was wearing a Walkman and I was playing the Bat II album - I walked into the store, picked my prom dress off the rack and walked out without paying. The dress looked great on but I still feel bad."
"Drove off the road in the rain at high speed while "drumming."
"I had a wild encounter with a very hot babe. We were both a little blasted at a dance club and Paradise came on - we started singing and acting it out. We did the whole kissing and grabbing bit. I never got her name or number but I think of it exactly as it happened whenever I 'smack the snake'. I doubt this is what Steinman was aiming for with It's All Coming Back but it bares some resemblance and it is my story of that song. If I ever find her again, I'm asking her to marry me."
"I took off my clothes in front of a few hundred people. College fraternity thing."
"I put a loaded gun in my mouth and came very close to killing myself. I don't know why I didn't. I think Jim saw me through that moment. At this point let me say it's important to remember that insanity is a medical term for an illness that can't possibly exist. It's about money and insurance companies and the government. Crazy people are not [crazy] - they are just in touch with different things. Read 'The Crack In The Cosmic Egg'."
"I kissed a girl. (I'm a girl.)"
"Do you consider minor surgery 'wild'? I used to weigh 220 lbs. and after dieting I got down to 135 lbs...I had lyposuction to help my appearance. You stay awake during it and I had them play the Bad For Good album. We got halfway [through the procedure] and the doctor said the music was making him nervous...He had bad taste in music although he did a good job on me."
"I got arrested by the parents of my boyfriend. We were parked and listening to the Bat Out Of Hell tape when a bright light came through the car window. I was flat on my back with my skirt hiked up, shirt open, bra undone, etc. It seems his parents reported the car stolen since we were out two hours after curfew. At the police station the cops told his and my parents what we were doing when they caught us."
"I sang Jim Steinman music in front of a crowd on a karoke machine. I'm not a pro but I did sound radically good. From what I know, Jimmy has really made an impact on the world of karoke. A bunch of his songs are stripped of lead vocals."
"I masturbate whenever I listen to Steinman. I don't know why. It's just regular, straight, basic masturbation so there aren't details. (I use Jergens hand creme to help things along)."
"The oddest thing I've ever made while listening to Steinman music is - training (studying) for my Physics test and trying to concentrate....it was hopeless."
"Wild. Let's see - I bungee jumped on the Boardwalk in Atlantic City. They were playing the Bat II album - The song playing when it was my turn was Everything Louder Than Everything Else....It was a thrilling experience that was enhanced by the music. In fact, the reason I did it was the music."
"I listen to Jimmy's music every day after school when I do my homework. My life is a bore. Nothing is WILD is West Virginia."
"Wild as in kinky? I gave oral pleasure to my boyfriend and his best friend at the same time. That was wild. The next day my boyfriend broke up with me and two days after that his friend asked me out. I guess one liked my technique better than the other!! It's not as bad as it sounds since I was only dating [the first boy] a short while."
"Nude modeling."
"I got drunk and danced for hours on a perfect summer night. I've also played this music at some pretty good parties."
"I don't consider myself the type to do wild things. At best I can tell of a night and day and night when I stayed up for 38 hours straight and listened exclusively to material written by Jim Steinman. It got surreal after a while. Sorry I could not help you out with a better story. Perhaps many of us relate on a more quite and spiritual level. I see Steinman's music as intimate and far from wild."
"Got reported by my neighbors for dancing around in the buff with the shades up."
"I did acid. I tripped on acid. That was wild and better than Ecstasy. The sound intensified the color and there was everything going on. There is a lot of power in that music, almost impossible to harness without the help [of drugs]. Everything should be legalized. Bat Out Of Hell would sell 2 billion copies and Jim would be hailed as the Savior."
"Hum. I can't answer this question. Nothing I do is wild. That's why I NEED Steinman. To help me get out of THIS god forsaken town."
"Had Ken & Barbie sing to the entire Bat Out Of Hell and then they proceed to have sex."
"This is more gross than wild - I had food poisoning (bad clams - ain't it always) and for three days I puked my guts out. I just moved into my new apartment, there was no cable or phone or air conditioning. There were three CD's in the changer - both Bat Out Of Hell's and Bad For Good. I felt like hell, the place smelt like hell and it was over 100 degrees every day. I kept wishing I would die just to be out of my misery. I gave myself over to the music. It was my only peace."
"I always have wild dreams when I fall asleep listening to Jim's music. Sometimes I play it on purpose to get a dream as a result. Very wild!!! I guess it's like the soundtrack to my subconscious or something."
"The music wasn't playing but I was quoting the lyrics when I tried to break-up with a girl by using the 'I want you, I need you...' line. Then she beat me up and I ended up at the emergency room."
"I was drunk at my sister's wedding and got on top of the bridal table and sang both parts of Paradise - they pulled me off when it was almost over and I got to the 'Praying for the end of time' part."
"I played Anything For Love at my wedding when we were cutting the cake and a huge food fight broke out. It was a disgusting mess but it was a wild, fun time. I'll never forget it. (There have been a lot of good times, this one just stands out). "
"Told heaven to wait for me...I was in a horrible car crash and Bat Out Of Hell I was the cassette in the player. I remember swallowing a lot of blood and it was getting hard to keep breathing because I was hit in the side and the way the door came in on me. Heaven Can Wait was playing and I just kept focused on the music. The EMT said I was actually singing but I only remember trying to keep on hearing the song. Everyone couldn't believe I survived and I am fine now. That music saved me. Jim Steinman saved me! If he never lived or wrote that song, I would be dead today. He helped me beat death. That was wild to me. I want that song played at my funeral as a tribute to Steinman and the life he helped me cling to so I could live and experience it."
"Once I spent the night in a county jail (over a bar brawl) and the desk sergeant in charge kept playing Bat Out Of Hell over and over. When side one ended, he flipped the tape and so on and so on. This went on all night. I wasn't familiar with the album when I got there but by the end of the night I could sing every word. That was 5 years ago and I've been a die-hard fan ever since."
"Wild? I played The Future Just Ain't What It Used To Be at my brother's funeral. He was 19 and killed himself after being diagnosed with and inoperable brain tumor. Steinman was a God to him. Sometimes I wonder if - never mind I don't even want to say anymore. This web site is depressing in it's truth. (Now will I be a man and send this message or will I delete it.)"
"I wildly made out. (Last time I answered for five words: best make out music ever - and it is!!) I gave my man a giant hickey - or 'love bite'. The next day his mother, who hated me already, asked me if I was a vampire or a pig. I told her I was the pig and her son was the vampire and then showed her the one he left on my tit...After going out for 11 months, I'm still not allowed back in that house!! Does that makes her a pig or a prude?"
"Wildest thing I've ever done while listening to Jimmy's brilliance? Lost my virginity. Also...Tasted my first Reebok shoe. (Of course, the music was just in my head, but I'm very proud of the fact that I know what Jim's shoes taste like!)"
"I got my belly button pierced. There are no gory details because I blacked-out."
"Wild? I guess it would have to be when I skinny-dipped in very cold water while his music was on. The feel matched the sound in terms of exhilaration."
"I smoked a little weed...snuggled up with my babe...details are private...only goons kiss and tell."
"Got a flaming motorcycle tattooed on my thigh."
"Not necessarily wild in the outrageous way...I gave into the words and music of the genius Jim Steinman on a very starry night. I was laying out on the lawn, I had some wine - I was lost in the darkness and drawn by the light. I never understood my beloved Jim Steinman until that evening. Now I'll never forget..."
"Listening to the music, but not hearing or feeling it. The worst sin, possibly the original sin."
"Picture this: foxy, wealthy, classy girl and a middle-class, nerd of a guy. I was practically stalking her but I couldn't bring myself to ask her for her name let alone out on a date. I recorded the song Bad For Good on a tape and the next day I handed it to her with a note that said: 'if you're interested in being bad for even a little while meet me here tomorrow at the same time.' I nearly shit when she actually showed up. The first words out of her mouth: 'I can't believe you own this album. I love Jim Steinman.' I know it sounds unbelievable but I swear on my third leg (and all the fun it's been having ever since). Bad For Good, I love you! Jim Steinman, I thank you. It's been a wild two years and counting."
"I dyed my hair from brown to blonde because of Good Girls Go To Heaven. It's true about 'blondes have more fun' - I recommend it."
"I got engaged to be married for the first time at age 52. The song that was special was For Crying Out Loud. To me this qualifies as wild because I never would have bet a million bucks that it would happen. I hope my story gives hope to some people. I bet there's a woman out there even waiting for Jim Steinman (who is so much of a genius it's a shame not to pass on his jeans [genes])."
"I'm not sure what happened but I woke up in a sweat."
"I ride my motorcycle like a wild man. The songs are in my head - Steinman is tattooed on my brain. That man rocks my world. I love the music. That is riding music."
"I have created art of my own. I write songs and plays based on the feelings I borrow from Jim Steinman. Bringing art to life is wild. The details are unique to each individual artist. For me, I write a story, then lyrics, then music."
"I was introducing a girl I liked that didn't like me to the original Bat Out Of Hell album. She must have been pretty swept away by what she heard because I was able to convince her to at least give me a hand-job as a way to return the favor."
"I delivered a 9 lb. 12 oz. baby without medication. The sirens weren't the only things screaming and the fires weren't the only things howling!!"
"I graduated from school. Big whip, right? They were playing it in the waiting area before we picked up our diploma."
"How about wild as in different? This actually happened and I'm serious about my advice although it is bound to seems exaggerated. I was looking around a pet store because I was thinking of getting a turtle. The owner was playing the Bat II album on a small boom box behind the register. First we talked about turtles then we started talking about Jim Steinman and some of the people he's worked with. Then he introduced me to a chimp they had gotten in two weeks before that they were calling 'Meat Loaf.' To make a long story short, I don't know what possessed me but I bought it. That fucking creature tore up my house, shit all over my rugs, humped my 13 year old golden retriever to death - literally (the dog was old but I still think he suffocated it while I was out because of the way I saw him approach the dog in the past. He would come from behind the dog to rub on her and Meat Loaf the chimp would hold her mouth shut). It took me a month and a half to find someone who would take the $4600 beast off my hands for free! This is a warning: never make any impulse decisions while listening to Jim Steinman music. You get carried away, you can't think straight. You'll be sorry - if it's a chimp or a girl or a new car or anything. Music off, then decide."
"Deliver my son in the bedroom where he was first conceived."
"Act out Out Of The Frying pan while working as a scientist. At the time I was doing it (unbeknown to me) I was being watched through a glass screen by 30 children who were at the lab on a school trip."
"I returned [to the area where I used to live] after eleven years to find my one and only true love. The song that inspired me to go back for her was It's All Coming Back To Me Now. In the time we were apart we had both been married, divorced and very unhappy. Now she is pregnant and we are getting hitched March 1997. The baby is due in May. Jim Steinman and Celine Dion will be invited to the wedding to play if they want to come."
"I do striptease routines for my boyfriend. He loves it because the songs are so long. My clothes are off within the first few minutes and then everything gets raunchy."
"I bet I win the 'what's the most wild thing' with this...I set fire to my failing business. I was selling painted sand-dollars and other sea shells in a small ocean side shop in California. I was losing tons of money. That fire set me free. My theme song was Out Of The Frying Pan (And Into The Fire), of course. I'll probably never be out of debt but at least it's not getting higher."
"Won first prize (dinner for two and bowling passes) at a limbo contest at my church social. I'll let you know if I ever top this. I'm old and I never was too much like Jim. That's not to say I don't hold his type in high regard. I'll go to heaven, let other folks go everywhere."
"Me and five friends went to a diner, ordered a bunch of appetizers and desserts in honor of the Great SteinGod, and spent $6 in quarters playing the whole Bat I and Bat II records. No other customers got to hear their selections because we totally monopolized the juke box. We also spent another $4 bucks going to all the empty booths and putting in money so that stereo would come on and we set them all on high to make it loud. We always do what we can to promote Jim. We have even gone to record stores and put Jim related albums in the front of the sections. Every little bit helps."
"Wild with the gory details. Are you sure you want to know? I sat there in front of my boyfriend (who suspected me of cheating) while he played Left In The Dark (to try to get me to break down and confess) and denied everything. I AM cheating on him and it's with his brother. I even had the nerve to swear on HIS life that I was telling the truth. I must be evil because I feel no guilt whatsoever. Besides, his brother is a much better lay. I do prefer my boyfriend as a person since his brother has a nasty temper and generally treats women like shit."
"I had root canal while a Jim Steinman song was playing on the radio in the dentist office."
"Sat in a Stereo - Vibrating chair. Oh my God!!! Oh my SteinGod!!!"
"Spring break 1996. The entire time was awesome and we played Jim constantly. It was six days of wildness. Our motto was 'Pray to the God of Sex and Drums and Rock 'n' Roll' - words I continue to live by whenever real life isn't trying to ruin everything."
"Did you ever have a party in high school and a bunch more people than were invited showed up? I was expecting 50 and about 200 people came. It only lasted an hour and a half before the cops came but everyone was slamming!! It was like some kind of drunken orgy - that party had the best ATTITUDE of any I've been to or thrown. You know what we were playing, don't you? It could only be Bat Out Of Hell. Party on!"
"Had my first orgasm since my husband passed away ten years ago while listening to the new Bat Out Of Hell [Bat II]."
"Gay sex."
"My cat goes nuts when ever I play anything Steinman. He races up and down the stairs, climbs the curtains and basically acts like a nut. Even his eyes glow. It's wild to watch."
"I know that karoke sucks but it was fun. The song was Two Out Of Three."
"Fell in love with a singer because she was singing your songs."
"I ran away from home four months ago with $60 dollars and a change of clothes. I've been going from town to town sometimes living in the streets or in shelters, right now I'm staying with old friends. I had a lot of bad times at home and it all hasn't been great since I left. I've been clinging to Jim's music kind of like 'life support for the soul'. The wildest thing since this has been going on was the night a transvestite named George took me home for the night. No sex or anything - he just fed me, did my laundry and talked me in to leaving that town the next day. He was the nicest person I've ever met. He gave me money and everything before I left. I kept asking him why he was being so kind to me and the only answer he ever gave me was 'we like the same music' ( he meant stuff Steinman wrote). I guess it was just his way to like that. I don't know his full name or address or anything and I'll probably never get to see him again or thank him. When I got on the bus I said to him 'See you in hell' and he laughed and said 'Not hell- Never, never land'. I hope he's right because I miss him. I think people always miss the one person in their life that just comes in for a short while, does something selfless and pure of heart then leaves. There is an old German tale that calls them 'mystery saints' and says that if you go back to find these people all you'll find out is that they never really existed."
"Got to see my first pair of boobs and felt 'em too."
"Steinman was on in a gas station so I played the lottery and hit with five numbers. I'm not a millionaire but I went to Jamaica."
"Wild? Just spent four hours on this web site when I have a job interview first thing in the morning. Now I'll be red eyed. Unemployment is the story of my life!!"
"Everything I ever done 'wild' I've done while listening to Jim Steinman. Also everything sad, bad, glad, happy...The fact is I'm always listening to something Jimmy."
"Drove my car 200 klph while Bat Out Of Hell was playing."
"Had a certain part exclusive to the female anatomy pierced. Ouch."
"Got paid to have sex. That was wild. Money for nothing!"
"Vandalized my town - it's defective. Me and two friends went on a mad sprespree and used a case (which is 18 cans) of spray paint (color, thanks for asking, canary yellow) to spray lyrics to Life Is A Lemon anywhere and everywhere. The school had a huge proclamation on all four sides that said 'It's a pack of useless lies' - it was a thing of beauty, man. We were so pumped and the story was covered int he papers and on the local news. The headline read 'Vandal's Upset With Life.' That's tombstone material man, '1979-20?? He was a vandal upset with life' - what a grave. Steinman didn't even get the credit he deserved because the losers didn't even recognize where it all came from. now I'm waiting for the sequel - knowing Jim, probably something like "This World's A Toilet and It's Time To Flush It Down.' I wait with spray can in hand."
