Damn Indecisive Bat Set to Fly Again | In our continuing
coverage of new music no one asked for, we bring you Meat Loaf's third
installment of the Bat Out of Hell series, due this month. If you, like
us, were only vaguely aware that such a series (a self-admitted "marketing
tool") even existed, here's the scoop: The new album is a follow-up to the
1977 original and 1993's Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, and features
appearances by the likes of Todd Rundgren, Nikki Sixx, and Steve Vai. In
addition to the usual crazy-loud, sweeping piano operettas, this puppy will
feature Meat doing some harder rocking tracks (sample title: "Land of the
Pigs"-you said it, friend). But will the hard rocking be too scary for
those who prefer the other shit, you ask? Says the man himself, "I think
fans who liked Bat I and Bat II will enjoy Bat III."
We assume the inverse is also true. There will, of course, be an overpriced
supporting tour (hopefully limited to air-conditioned venues-that man is not
small and the sweating could be a problem) and a special performance of all
three albums in London. And,
because no one in L.A. has just the
one job, the Loaf continues to pad his IMDB profile page, filming a Masters
of Horror episode and, in a stroke of pure casting genius and the only
truly notable tidbit here, a cameo as Jack Black's father in the Tenacious D
movie The Pick of Destiny. | Kimberly Faulhaber & Sarah Lenzini
