View Full Version : Fire Ball gave it all!
He's got it and he gives it. He gave it all tonight.
After all these years, concert after concert: he still gives it everything he's got. That's what makes Meat-concerts unique. I've never seen a better live performer.
And Gerard, a dutch DJ, got to perform with Meat (Johnny B. Good) I'm gonna mail that DJ tomorrow, to compliment him. He has CHSIB on his playlist every day.
I'll leave the more detailed comments to the other Dutchies.
Bonus for me: I got to meet (posting on this forum): Mariella, Bart, Tim and Michel. Cloggy: sorry I didn't get to shake your hand.
And: in the hallway: R. recognised me and said: "Guppie?" I said yes and we shook hands too. 8)
But R... how did you know it was me? I never send you a picture or anything...
I had the best evening ever. And Meat said he's coming back in december. And then he'll perform "For crying out loud" too, and that's one of my favorates...
1.30 am over here.
Guppie - a.k.a. "the stupid dutch woman that didn't believe Fireball was meat" :oops: :D

So what if you made mistakes. You are a great performer, no matter what. The Dutch audience doesn't expect perfection. We want Meat, we want fire works... see the sparks fly... from the minute you enter the stage you OWN the stage AND the audience.
That's what going to a concert is all about.
Guppie
awww...I'm sure the show was a 10 too!! Glad everyone had a great time!
Rock on Fire Ball..
R.. way to go!! :) Take care all!!
Love and Laughs..

What else can I say, absolutely loved the show!!! Thank You so much!
Second time you did DIST and CHSIB, well, it sounded fantastic and I am not the only one who thinks so. So many people singing along to the songs. Made me very happy.
"The mistakes", well, they didn't bother anyone I think, and EVERYONE on that stage was giving it all they got. It was absolutely mind-blowing :bunny:
Feel so lucky I was there!
It was great to 'meet' you, good to hear about the album sales!!
Very good to meet such devoted fans from Germany, the UK and ofcourse Holland.
Yes, this is a GREAT year,
Mariella
I Testify!
Dottie, at the M&G one of the first things Meat asked was "is Dottie here"?
Fireball!!! You were super!! Great!! It was outstanding, and i'm very happy that i could be at the Meet and Greet!!!
Wow, It was the best day since long time for me!!
Thank you so very much!!
And Paul Crook, you rock!! You were great!! :lol:

I may not be able to speak or read dutch - but I can look at a photo if it's on the web. 8)
What a performance. what can i say. Incredible vocals on Anything for love, CHSIB and DIST. I can't remember when i heard BOOH that good. I can't remember when the interactive with the audience was that extraordinary. I can't remember when Meat was joking around like he did now.
The "mistakes" were , in fact, great to watch. So much humor in it.
And i have to admit: the german fans were really rocking the whole night. Way to go, folks!
I have noticed that Mark Alexander is as bald as i am. What the hell has happened to his curley hair? And patti: well, she looks really good now. i guess she spent a lot of time in the gym.
The meet and great was great. i did not say anything, just fun to watch and indeed he was wondering if Dottie was there.
He said: everybody wants to know why i put Do it on the record: because its funny, that's why!
Also
The album is on number 2 in the midweek chart in the UK, only beaten by the Material Girl but she had a better promotion.
What a night.

Thank you also for the meet and great and for signing my precious bad attitude shirt!! Meat still rocks as when I saw him in the eighties.
Massive respect!!! Hope to see you in december in Holland again...
The Show was absolut fantastic, today i can not speak because my voice is away.I think it was one of the best shows i ever saw from you.Ok, maybe there were little mistakes but who cares about it ? You made the best of it, made jokes with the Fans und fool yourself.That is what we love on you, you selv said "we all just humans and make mistakes".
I couldnīt have said it better !!! :lol:

Yes! And in december he is coming to holland again :D And i also go to Oberhausen, germany in NOvember. Yaaahooooo :lol:
I have noticed that Mark Alexander is as bald as i am.
That's pretty ~~~~ing bald then.... ;p
As for the 5,5 for the show. I can understand that from your p.o.v. Meat, but anyone in the audience would give it a 10 no doubt. :)

awsome, great, perfect, beautifull, funny, joyfull, etc. etc.
I had a great time and I can't wait until december
Meat may call himself an actor, not a singer. In that case. He is an actor, that sings increddible.

Thanks MEAT for the unforgettable evening in Amsterdam!
It was one of the best concerts ever!
THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH!!!! :P
Love
Eva
Well, it was great!!! See some people from the forum....
but there was one thing, at the Meet and Greet, all those german folks, well, they were first!!! And they had met him some times before, and he talked with them a lot, and we Dutch folks came at the end, and then there was little or less time!!! that was very bad!!! :twisted:
But still. to see Meat loaf in real... so close, talk to him etc.... That was pretty cool.
I'm so jealous of you all. :cry:
Hope you all enjoyed it.

Hi Fire Ball,
Me and my 12 year old son Jelle (who've brought you a cigar and gave it to you at the M&G) loved your show in Amsterdam. It's was his first time to see you live after a couple of years playing your (or mine?? :wink: ) CD's. We stand right in front of Paul (I think Metal Loaf is a very good nickname for him) at the first row and we had both a hell of an evening.
I liked the moments that you made the imitations of Steven Tyler, Boy George and George Michael and so on! It was also nice to introduce your fiancee.
Glad you gave the audience a 10, but we both want to give you a lot more than a 5.5. Whatabout a few misstakes? It made it a kind of intimate for me.
Looking forward to see you again in december, and sure we will bring red roses....
We had a great time including the M&G, thank you again for it and also a lot of thanks to Rainer for making it also possible.

he he he... some mistake... I often refer to myself as the Dutch little fishy, because of my nick and my avator. I can't put a link to the Dutch forum here, linking is not allowed on this forum.\
But I know you're just kidding :lol:
I'm so happy for all that were able to attend the Promo show! Sounds like everyone had a outstanding time and the show was a lot better than a 5.5, more like a 10 from the stories I've heard!
Mariella was kind enough to write a review for mirrorofthesoul.com, its on the main page! She was awestruck! Thanks again, Mariella!
If you take a look at the review, please click on the comments page, Sven has posted a number of wonderful pictures of the M&G and the show! Thank you, Sven!
ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!!

You were amazing Meat. The show had all the power. Paul Crook played guitar like nobody else can. Patti is better everytime I see her.
Meat you're voice was amazing, and I'm sure that whole amsterdam heard the beginning of Paradise. :lol:
I've met R., Bart, Tim, Guppie, Mariella, Jmi, Cloggy and offcourse I met Meat. I would like to have a chat with Meat, but there wasn't any time left. I have pictures and an autograph.
And that back ground singer, Sarah i thought!!! WOW, what a beautifull and great girl that was!! Think i'm in love with here!!
Sarah, you were great!!1 You rock girl!
Mistakes or not, Meat absolutely rocked Amsterdam! It was the first time I'd ever seen Meat in Holland and he put on a superb performance.
The audience reaction was great (you Dutch guys really know how to rock!) and Meat and the band looked relaxed and happy to be there.
I have to say that Paul Crook really impressed and is an amazing asset to the band. Anyone else notice what an infectious smile he has?
I feel so lucky to have been there and even more especially to have heard the new songs live. I was also lucky enough, thanks to some wonderful German friends, to find myself right down at the front, centre stage.
As always it was fun meeting up with so many friends, old and new, and thanks to everyone who made my first trip to Amsterdam so enjoyable.
Very many thanks to Meat for the M&G and for signing my vinyl album and CD. Many thanks too to R. for organising it for us.
I spent Thursday travelling back home and arrived back so tired my eyes couldn't even focus any more. Still, I'd do it all again tomorrow for a show like that!
:D

He asked everyone (who wanted to have something signed) to tell him his forum nick.
I gave him my original M&G list with his instructions to be signed.
He was puzzled for a second and as he realised what he was signing, he started to talk about the forums and yes, Dottie we have been talking about you. :))
Dottie, he can't wait to meet you!! :lol:
