| None of this makes sense. Why would Meat suddenly say anything about Jim while he is making his album with Rob? Takes a little of the focus away. I believe that Jim is reaching out to Meat because now he needs him. Like it or not, Meat was and is a big part of BAT OUT OF HELL. It never made any sense to keep him out of it as the majority of people associate it with him. Jim Vallance co wrote a lot of Bryan Adams early songs. How successful would it be if he pushed a project under his name with songs that Bryan Adams made famous. Not quite the perfect comparison but it is the same idea. > If this means one or more new songs written and produced > by Jim Steinman, it's great news!
