Finally, a video of a laid back Steinman discussing his work. I have been dying to see something that isn't a music video! And the green screen effects in the background? wtf? lol!
@JeffDavadPhotog Yeah, I know what you mean. Sometimes I look through his catalog of artists and songs only to find a lot of what I've already heard before.
First let me say RIP Steinman. I love his songs. But... what in the actual fuck was he thinking? He looks like a video game supervillain. Isn’t the luxury of being a non-performing songwriter that you DON’T have to be a ridiculous spectacle? Anyway, Good Songwriters go to heaven and bad songwriters go everywhere. Steinman wasn’t either of those, he was an incredibly unique songwriter. His bombast and melodrama will be missed.
You notice that a lot with lots of classical composers too, I think because Pandora’s Box was basically a failed project that he wanted to use these ideas. Like how his also failed solo album uses a piano riff later used in Bonnie Tyler’s Holding our for a hero. I don’t mind it personally. I do find his speeches a bit much though.
I suspect that he wasn't finished with those ideas yet, so when they didn't do what he wanted, he ran them through again. Rhodri made a great point, just one song from Bad For Good seems to have spun off to make 3 new songs, all of them good.
Jim Steinman is a the greatest composer of our time! Original Sin is possibly the best composition ever!!!
Thanks for all of the amazing music! I will miss you, Jim!!!
FINALLY! Seeing a video of Jim being funny. I hope more come out if they released to the public and it got put it in the archives
A true Musical Genius. Rock N Roll dreams forever coming true with Jimmy.
Amazing as always ❤️, no words can express how truly amazing this man was.
"I really wanted to do a girls' group... or I just really wanted girls"
AHA! I knew it! That's why the album is so sexy!
This guy is so awesomely cool!!!
This video is comedy gold.
RIP Jim Steinman, the lord of Excess!
Wow!!
What a story!
Almost tops his music!!
He thinks so fast, his words can hardly keep up with the pace!
Fantastic, Jim
Watching this now... RIP

Well it was the 80s
The man found a way to be creatively weird and by god it worked
He's a word master!
Most amazing songs ever!!!!!
THAT was loud *rubbs bleeding ear* - i love it
He's a genius and his music is incredible. The sound is pretty poor on this video, though, making it difficult to catch what he's saying at times.
Jim is a fucking god of music

Three people have a helluvalot to learn about rock and roll.
awesome
It IS IMPORTANT who you are because you wrote it
mad as a hatter!
And isn’t it great?!?
A lot of Jim's most recent songs (as well as an updated "If It Ain't Broke, Break It", I believe, but don't quote me) are very politically charged.
God...is it weird that I think of this guy as the epitome of hardcore sex?
CrazyDiamond003 completely understandable.
Yeah completely understandable

He was a true eccentric. Happens a lot with genius
@Doppelganger399 on Earth and under it !!!
I thought the fans knew who he was?
He's SUCH a good song writer, but why the heck does he reuse his stuff so much?

That is quite disturbing

My friend has over 400 songs but 150 of those are different renditions
brilliant song writer and he does this stupidity
