Bat Out Of Hell

Product Information

suggested that it would not appeal to " Nirvana and Metallica fans, but there's an older generation of rockers out there who will, quite properly, worship this album. The MC mix, to me, has fallen from an experienced bliss to a sweet memory : due to space problems I had to get rid of my multichannel system and get back to a stereo one (though I intend to get to multichannel again in the future).

As a result, in the UK Bat became an unfashionable, uncool, non-radio record that became a 'must-have' for everyone who heard it, whether they 'got' Steinman's unique perspective or not. You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night) has the classic Steinman spoken intro that works well with the song, but I find the musicality of this track to be a little campy and rather dated.After a series of financial and legal disputes during the 1980s, Steinman and Meat Loaf met at the singer's house in Connecticut at Christmas in either 1989 [3] or 1990, [12] and sang Bat Out of Hell on piano.

Powers had heard that Warren was a fan of 'Wall of Sound' production and suggested that he listen to Bat Out of Hell over the Christmas and New Years holiday. The track quotes lyrics from Bat Out of Hell's " Paradise by the Dashboard Light" ("It was long ago and it was far away"), as does the next track, "Wasted Youth", a spoken word fantasy monologue (a remixed version of "Love and Death and an American Guitar" from Steinman's Bad for Good album).

In Jim Steinman's Neverland and Bat Out of Hell: The Musical, the spoken word "Hot Summer Night" and this song are used as an exchange of wedding vows, and to celebrate a wedding. In a 1993 promotional interview for the album, Steinman reasserts the continuation of the Bat world. By way of background, there is both a SACD-only stereo version of this disc, as well as a hybrid multi-channel disc. This, they said, means "the album's probable theme—the crushing effect growing up has on teenage dreams—seems to get lost among the thud and blunder.
