I'm happy enough with Meat's vocals on HCTB that I would indeed like to hear him take a crack at WPOMBHTM.

As for working w/ Jim again, I suppose Meat would like to maybe record Steinman songs with Cavallo producing the vocals. And maybe helping Jimmy to speed up the recording process in general.

I wonder if Jimmy, in his older age, would have any interest in this? My guess is: no.
