A Tribute to Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman (Tanz Der Vampire - Die Unstillbare Gier - English Lyrics)

Meat Loaf passed away on January 20, 2022. He was obviously a music legend, and although I didn't listen to much of his music, I was aware of many of his hits and knew how loved and legendary he was.
Last year, on April 19, 2021, lyricist Jim Steinman, whom collaborated frequently with Meat Loaf-including work on his two 'Bat Out of Hell' albums, passed away.
Now the way I was very aware of Jim Steinman's music is very intertwined with my awareness of some of Meat Loaf's music. Jim Steinman actually composed the music for the German hit musical "Tanz Der Vampire" (Dance of the Vampires). The show is one of my absolute favorites and I've listened to it endlessly through the years. Now the show is almost sort of a 'lite' jukebox musical as several of the songs use melodies and lyrical elements from some of Jim's previous compositions--including some of the pieces he wrote for Meat Loaf. The most notable of these would be the musical's song "Die Unstillbare Gier" (or The Endless Appetite in it's original English translation). This song borrows both melodically and lyrically from Meat Loaf's hit "Objects in the Rear View Mirror May Appear Closer than They Are". It's one of the best moments in the entire show and it's definitely bolstered by the sections that originate from that song.
I figured recording "Die Unstillbare Gier" using the original English lyrics, which were written for the short lived and horribly done Broadway production, would be a fitting way I could pay tribute to both legends, who influenced or helped create a musical that I love very dearly.
So here it is! Enjoy, and for those wondering--yes I still intend to record the original German lyrics someday haha.
And RIP Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman...

Hey everyone! It would really help me out if you all could give a quick "like" to the official Instagram & Facebook pages of the group I sing with, "Sometime In September": instagram.com/sometimeinseptemberband/ facebook.com/profile.php?id=100088523253853 We're a professional group of musicians whom, after many successful years playing together doing countless gigs, have had to restart under a new name and are rebuilding our social media presence. Thanks to anyone who can help!

If they revive this musical on Broadway, you would definitely play the Count here!!!

[@MattWhitingsEurope]

Great performance. RIP Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman.

[@RodneyMachado01]

Likeeee, Jim Steinman was a genius...

[@TT-ox3cg]

What an amazing rendition! I never thought an english version could even come close to the German original! You proved me so wrong! Chapeau!

[@bradylove9825]

Thanks so much!!! :)

[@ynysafalon]

HOLY SHIT. I was not expecting to wake up to something so magnificent. "Die Unstillbare Gier" is my favorite number from Tanz der Vampire, and you just made me fall in love with it all over again. So much depth and emotion. I'm totally floored. I'd love to see your take on more Euromusicals in the future.

[@paulclemens7953]

Ditto, ditto, and DITTO!!!

[@g.allencook1051]

Perfect voice; perfect acting; perfect look. Had you opened in the Broadway version of "Tanz"--it would still be running. Steinman, I believe, would've flipped over you. I'm obsessed with the original version of this musical (though I don't speak the language--even though I don't think one has to, to understand it)...but you've put an fascinating spin on Von Krolock. RIP Jim Steinman and Meatloaf. Heaven no longer has to wait.

[@paulclemens7953]

Amen!!!

[@theMemphisSnuggler]

Empathy for the Vampire. Thanks for the Michael Lee Aday tribute.

[@paulclemens7953]

Brady -- Janna and I just finished watching this video and we were in tears by the end. OMFG! Just when we think you can't surprise us anymore you go and yank another gigantic rabbit outta your hat! Man, why are you not on Broadway NOW?? You have a phenomenal talent and it makes us wanna scream that you're not already a major musical star!! For God's sake, someone kidnap Brady and deposit him on the world's stage ASAP!!

[@GrandadmiralSeewolf]

My good sir... You KNOCKED it out of the Park ! This was wonderful !

[@paulclemens7953]

No fucking kidding!!!!

[@Jedibenuk]

Wow, that was fantastic!

[@cdavid8139]

This is absolutely amazing! Thank you so much! Wow

[@pianoish]

Love Jim Steinman’s music. Lost such musical talent with both of them, but both left an amazing legacy and music for the world. Excellent performance, of course! Hope you’re doing well in this new year.

[@katecolton169]

He sounds like he should be on Broadway! Amazing job!

[@jasminnemcdonald94A]

That sounds like a good idea

[@SVSG98]

Fabulous

[@elyska_singer]

Hi! Here's a usually silent fan from Germany. It was so unexpected to see you post this! I am also in love with this musical and with German musicals in general honestly. If you want to continue exploring them, I can highly recommend Rebecca the musical! Your cover of this song was really beautiful and I think your voice matches the character well. in addition, I have never heard The English lyrics to it before and think they sounded great. Keep on singing, you are awesome!

[@krolock-3531]

Thanks, had goosebumps... I love that musical and especially Krolock! Great voice!!

[@PorgWitch]

I've been really on a Tanz kick and I keep coming back to this cover. Love your voice 😊

[@afbastet]

Amazing job! The song really plays to your strengths, vocally and dramatically. I think the problem with Tanz is (aside from the whole production history) that it spans so many genres that you have to like a lot of different genres to enjoy it. Dramatically, it's both comedy and gothic horror, and musically, it's rock, Broadway, and a hint of Wagner. Anyway, great job and a tribute to a performer who broke almost all the molds.

[@mikhaelpaulomatanguihanalo3657]

Simply amazing. I wasn't really aware of Meat Loaf, but this is just a great musical performance.

[@scully5251]

Wow, what a voice. Would be a great count!

[@crazyformusicals2910]

Wow!! This is just fantastic and I really love it! As a great "Tanz der Vampire" fan I always find it hard to see what Broadway has done to this fantastic musical! I'm already looking forward to listening to your German "Unstillbare Gier" one day! Just dare!! 😉

[@animerebellion1016]

I recently just found this musical I started to become obsessed this song specifically. This English version is so good and it sounds it comes from the original lyrics. Great Job!

[@lucasZr113]

I hadn't heard about the person before, but I'm gonna look him up now. Anyway, cool song and great cover dude. Keep it up!

[@jim7174]

So good

[@Ceci_06]

Holy Molly!! It was even better than what I could have imagined. I think I had written in a comment once how I would love to hear you sing that song and I just spent 6mn31 of pure complete enjoyment. And with the song with the horrible broadway production at that! Now I am terribly curious to see your take on Krolock in a full-on production! Thank you for sharing that with us Brady, I hope you are well and life is treating you kindly these days 😊

[@nicksantus5307]

WOW You certainly can sing

[@Boyonabicycle]

Tanz maybe Jim Steinman’s greatest work. And while this singer is very good, Steve Barton was one of his best singer/performers. Crazy that the Broadway production was turned into a Mell Brooks type caricature.

[@Jadaea2012]

What a shame they made out of it on Broadway. You must certainly see the German version. In the moment still in Stuttgart. 😍💫💫💫💫
