| Frankly I'd be disappointed if Meat WASN'T involved in any concept recordings / releases that are produced. If all he did was record stuff in the studio with excellent producers, then there's not a bad word that could be said about Meat, right? I mean listen to his voice on A Kiss Is A terrible Thing To Waste. It hits Scarpia's out of the park. He just needs a decent producer, and frankly, I don't get why he even tries live anymore. But when you say "all he needs to do is explain that it is Neverland". Yeah... easier in theory than practice methinks. This could SOOOO easily get billed as Jim Steinman turns Meat's songs into a hit Musical, ala We Will Rock You, Movin' Out, Mamma Mia, Blowing In The Wind (or is it called Times are a changin?). Actually, I'm not sure how DOTV escaped a similar billing. If Jim was more of a household name amongst joe public CD buyer, I'm sure DOTV would have been "Jim Steinman's biggest hits!". > > It wouldn't be a problem at all, if the show was a tribute > > to Meat. > > > > -- Which is most certainly is NOT. > > > > But that is how it would be taken if he wasn't there as > > one of the cast, doing his bit.
