Saw this earlier on the twitters.
Hit maker & architect of This Corrosion & More.
Rock in peace

Gutted. loved BOOH for a good few years before i even siscovered TSOM.
RIP

Bummer, Bat Out Of Hell was certainly a rite of passage in far gone teenage years.

Just perfect to pull off what Eldritch had in mind. Brilliant collabolator.

Everyone has a soft spot for Bat, don't they?
I heartily recommend hearing Holding Out For A Hero on the largest sound system you can, the drums are insanely good.

That's sad and sudden news ... ... he was in a class of his own ...
who in the world would have bothered with Bonnie Tyler, Meat Loaf, Andrew Eldritch and a few more of such rock'n roll oddballs ...
.. only a genius like him .... ... RIP, and many many thanks for all that crazy stuff.

He was hired to produce Def Leppard's Hysteria but they fired him after a few weeks. Instead he went to work with Doktor Avalanche who was easier to deal with than a drummer with only one arm.

Sad news RIP

Please enjoy Céline Dion and the Himbo Motorcycle Ghost

Well that's s**t news , genius producer , R.I.P

I'll just leave this here:


RIP Mr Steinman

Too soon!

From The Guardian:
"Steinman was next employed to produce Def Leppard, but the arrangement was a disaster and swiftly collapsed. He worked with goth titans the Sisters of Mercy, which turned out to be an improbable masterstroke: his grandiosity turned a band whose ambition had been hobbled by their reliance on a tinny drum machine into a genuinely epic-sounding band on 1987’s This Corrosion and Dominion/Mother Russia: “We needed something that sounded like a disco party run by the Borgias,” offered the band’s Andrew Eldritch of the former, “and that’s what we got.”"

Rest in peace. A great producer he was, and all the not-goths are grateful to him.

"a disco party run by the Borgias" is an amazing quote

BOOH was the first rock album I ever bought with my own money. Will always have a soft spot in my heart.

Hey now hey now now

And a hey Nonny nonny for good measure

Not exactly in honour of the man, yet as slight gesture I just listened Floodland (2006 remaster).

I assume the lyrics on this version are Steinman's originals, which described as "...illegal"?
