8: Hammertime

Pure Iron Maiden so far.

Vocalist Meat Loaf was brought in by producer Werman to sing on the album.

Meat Loaf was paid the sum of $1,000 for his contributions to the album, which included crafting his vocal arrangements and two days of recording sessions.

He says that after he agreed to do the album he was sent a lyric sheet containing just the words with no arrangements.

Having no idea what the songs were going to sound like, he then created the vocal arrangements for the songs during the two days of recording

Last track - I Love You So I Told You a Lie.

Tw*t Poogent is such a crashingly dull guitarist.

Loafo is really much too good for this album.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:36 pm

The title is very Meat Loaf innit?

by Nightjar Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:37 pm

Cue leaden guitar solo.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:37 pm

What a very underwhelming choice for a final song.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:38 pm

This is very ordinary 70s rock, by the high standards of this album.

by SiberianPrincess’sMidriff Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:38 pm

Over.

It is over.

It was certainly a vigorous album but the incessant guitar noodling made it impossible to retain interest in it.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everyone else made of it. Excited

Have we done a Black Oak Arkansas album?

by **The Call of the Wendigo** Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:39 pm

I shall give it 2 stars.

by Nightjar Sat Apr 30, 2022 7:43 pm

A plodding procession from beginning to end that.

In fairness, despite my severe prejudice, it started off in lively fashion and, at its apogee, when the Loafster got a proper go on lead vocals, it had a fleeting dalliance with being actually OK.

By the end however even his talents couldn't mask the paucity of the material or do anything to change my view of Nugent as both a mediocre musician and all round douchebag.

Rocker or Reactionary? Maybe a bit of both, I don't know.
