Bat Out Of Hell, containing such memorable songs A Wilfrid Laurier University Student Publication as Two Out of Three Ain't Bad and the title track, propelled Meatloaf into super stardom. Then 75 University Ave. West, Waterloo, Ont. N2L 3C5 something happened; he fell off the face of the earth. He was confined to singing a duet with Cher, (519) 884-2990 — Fax: (519) 884-5596 and embarking on several tours in the mid to late eighties that seemed to bring him to every small Advertising: (519) 884-5092 town in Ontario. Hardly the bright future which Bat Out of Hell promised. So now, in 1993, what is a has-been musician to do? EDITORIAL BOARD The answer is simple, too simple really. I imagine Cory Hart and Banarama are out there shaking EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Sheldon Page their heads, wondering why they didn't think of this first. The formula is easy: You take the name NEWS EDITOR Kathleen Honey and premise of your only big success, and you copy it. Thus, an unsuspecting public is presented ASSOCIATE NEWS EDITOR Steve Doak with Bat Out Of Hell Two: Return to Hell. Now that is original. The name is only the start of the ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Greg Sloan to so ASSISTANT ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR Scott McCormick process, however. Next, you listen that old album many times that its style is ingrained into SPORTS EDITOR Jennifer O'Connell your brain. Then you go into the studio, and try to record songs which could easily have fit in with ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR Eda Di Llso all your old classics. PRODUCTION MANAGER Lynn McCuaig Now, for your lead single, it's important to find the appropriate song. It must be about eight FEATURES EDITOR Ingrid Nielsen minutes long, contain easily recognizable lyrics (a catchy phrase would be perfect), and include STAFF REPRESENTATIVE Sean Wilde female vocals such as were on your previous hit, Paradise By The Dashboard Light. This is when things get complicated. Back in your day, the record stood on its own. Now they STAFF have these new fangledthings called videos. No problem, justget a slick production crew, slap down Production Assistants: a few hundred thousand dollars, make sure you put a good looking babe in it to attract all those Andrew Cameron hormonal teenage boys (and quite a few University students I know) and borrow a theme which Paul McLean really has nothing to do with your song, but hey, it's popular right now (the old beauty and the beast Classified Co-ordinator Mia Kroll story). Circulation and Filing . John Hucuiiak Copy Editors: Voila, you are now back on top. Your song hits number one, your album rockets up the charts, Emma Dwyer and you sell out Maple Leaf Gardens. Disney couldn't have made a better fairy tale ending (though Sandra Gabrieie the sequel to The Mighty Ducks hasn't been released yet). CONTRIBUTORS So now Meatloaf is everyone's favourite singer again. AJI the old copies of Bat Out Of Hell are Terry Grogan, Ryan Feeley, DenyS DaivS, Beth Haydl, Allison Potts, being pulled out by kids who were still in diapers when it was originally released. The Meatloaf Andreas M. Rothe, Rich Vollering, Martin Walker, Pete Robinson, situation, while disturbing, in by no means isolated. Our society is fascinated with the idea of Gray, Paul Scott Stinson, Mark Heasley, Darren Mahaffy, Amanda recycling old ideas. How else could explain such classic films such as the eight Friday the Dowling, Paula Clarke, John Baal, Virginia Parker, Lynn McCuaig, you James D.

Mundell, Brad Ross, Evan Bailey, Tom Dabek, Juanita Wootton, The reason for all this nostalgia is that with familiar ideas at least we know what we are getting Tanya Ventura, Malanie Seal, Dave Scott, Jeff Klaehn . into. When we buy the Meatloaf album we won't be surprised. When the average price of a C.D. is twenty dollars, most people find it reassuring to know exactly what it is they are buying.

It didn't disappoint, but then again, it didn't even bother to use a new script. Why Vollering, Virginia Parker, Renee Ward, Aaron Betik. wouldn't a premise that was successful then be successful now? Cover photo: Peter Hammermeuller The sad thing is that for every time we hear I'd Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That), Arts Section Coordinator: Sean Wilde we miss out on hearing the up and coming Meatloafs of today. Shouldn't the new bands and artists get the chance Meatloaf had back in 1977? The truth is that the majority of the airwaves are either STUDENT PUBLICATIONS filled with classic rock (which I find nothing wrong with since most of it is quality music) or classic TREASURER Jennifer Martin rockers trying to make more money with new material. The latter could really be done without. Do PHOTO MANAGER Debbie Duiker we really need to hear new songs by the like of April Wine or the Band, groups which were good Photo Technicians Keli Watson broken for Jeff Blair in their prime but have since been up years? So the time are in the record store,remember that just because it's a new release Graphic Arts Technician Anton Volcansek please, next you Art Director Tina Romano doesn't mean its really new.
