This is what really makes Meat hard to defend sometimes, next he'll be slagging off Sarah Durkee and Paul Jacobs. Come to think of it, I bet the only reason that Meat hasnt started bashing Jim's songs is becuase he knows the back lash he'll get will ruin him (I do think one of the main reasons for Hang Cool's failire is the fact that Steinman fan's just havent forgiven Meat for Bat 3 yet)
