MEAT LOAF "More"

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

The new MEAT LOAF (with Jim Steinman songs) album features "More".
I did not find it on youtube yet but listened to it on iTunes.
It sounds absolutely terrible, the production and backing vocals are just horrendous, too.
Check it out for a laugh.

Review in the Independent
Meat Loaf – Braver Than We Are – 2/5

Download this: Who Needs The Young; Going All The Way

Braver Than We Are reunites Meat Loaf once again with Jim Steinman, who ransacks his back catalogue for material. “More� first appeared on a Sisters Of Mercy album, while “Loving You Is A Dirty Job (But Somebody’s Got To Do It)� was a flop three decades ago for Bonnie Tyler, as befits what is basically a title inflated into a cumbersome dirigible of a song. Steinman’s sonic fingerprints are all over the album – the furiously arpeggiating piano riffs (one “borrowed� from Randy Newman), the brusque guitars, the Wagnerian pomp – though it is Loaf’s stagey delivery, with that juddering vibrato, which dominates songs such as the grumpy “Who Needs The Young� and the six-movement, almost 12-minute-long “Going All The Way�, another duet with human megaphone Ellen Foley. It sounds so much more exhausting than once seemed the case, however.
2/5

I Just listened to it all the way through on Napster and can confirm that it is indeed, a whole load of crappity crap crapness.

Wow just wow why did I listen to that? Sounds like mr Loaf has lost his voice, its dire.

He was on the One Show the other day. Quite sad really. Having said that, having read the comments here, I was a bit surprised by the version of More, what with the weird keyboard bit and then that ZZ Top style guitar. More royalties for :von: !

So even less incentive to record Far Parade?

Did anyone hear him interviewed on 5Live the other day?

Forget the music but listen to the interview - is he drunk or is it something more serious?

Yeah. That's right. I thought I was imagining it.

Meat Loaf was on Saturday Kitchen at the weekend. He doesn't seem well. He was slurring his speech, his attention was wandering, it's all quite sad.

Saw him on The One Show and Saturday Kitchen. My first thought was that he'd had a stroke or something. Is he...well?

Didn't he collapse on stage recently?
In all honesty, he doesn't sound too well on the More cover either.
Cheers.

Think he collapsed twice on stage quite recently. I don't think he's that well at all.
