MEAT LOAF Talks About Collaboration With NIKKI SIXX, JOHN 5

September 27, 2006

Meat Loaf recently spoke to AOL Music about his third "Bat Out of Hell" album, the upcoming "The Monster is Loose", on which he worked with a group of collaborators, including MÖTLEY CRÜE bassist Nikki Sixx. "Desmond [Child, producer] has collaborated his whole life," the singer says. "He had just finished working with Nikki Sixx on another song for somebody else's album. In Desmond's mind, this was the perfect guy to go to."

The pair brought in guitarist John 5, who's now in ROB ZOMBIE's band, to round out the song. "John 5 was playing guitars and it scared the hell out of me, because it was, like, so heavy and so different," Meat Loaf recalls. It was a valuable lesson, he says: "It was at that moment that I just went, 'Okay, I am not going to be closed. I'm opening up, and I'm going for everything and anything that I can be different about,'" he says. "And that's where we went."
