Dang, hearing something like this the photographer in me thinks -- "Where's my super speedy jet plane to London??" :) That sounds like a perfect PR opportunity, and i for one would have LOVED to capture it to help get the 'word out there.' (I have a few places i submit to and theyre global)
Now to me, it DOES sound like a great way for a little more publicity then the 'usual' Hope it all goes perfectly and without a hitch and that the photogs arent taking a cat nap and also arent those rude rowdy pushing kind (which, I'm of course not one! :) )!! Have fun all!!

Holy crap, fire ball. That is the coolest thing I've ever heard.
Just make sure they really arrest ya. Don't give in! The ebatles wanted to get arrested at the end of the rooftop gig to end the Let It Be film but it never happened: You can now right their wrong. :D
Oh - the album is in need of some huge publicity in Australia. Come do it in Australia as well :D Come do it in Brisbane (Queen street Mall has a stage right outside of HMV you can use...) :D
Bohemian
(I'm serious that we need more publicity in Australia though. Absolutely not a jot. Rediculous).
Why is it all the cool things happen in London? This reminds me of when the Beatles played on the roof of Abbey Road studios. Wish I could be there to witness it, but that won't happen.
Hope all goes well and no one gets arrested! Have fun everyone!

For those of you in the UK, please post anything you hear in the media about this. (Firsthand accounts most welcomed as well!) I'm here in Florida trying to figure out what time (here) this is happening, and I think its 1:30 PM- right at my lunch break! I'll pop back in here then and look for news.
Good luck Meat! For goodness sake, make sure you are secure on the top of that bus- no more concussions are needed!

What a great idea this is! Hope Meat does get arrested...THAT would be great publicity! Hope they 'release' him in time for his other promotion-activities! :lol:

Hi, everyone!! I can't be here--I got so much else I have to be doing right now -- but I CAN'T stay away!! Doesn't ANYBODY know what happened (or is happening)????
Please, the first person to get home or have access to a computer, we all want DETAILS!!!!!! Everything!!!
Go, FireBall, go!!! :P
But we all mustn't forget what this stunt is for--to sell as many CHSIB, the album, right now!!
Does anyone here know if the UK chart count ends tonight (Friday) or is it Saturday?? That could make a huge difference to this campaign! I've never been able to get a definitive answer on it.
If it's tonight, though, you can still contact people, friends--Aunt Martha--it doesn't matter--to go out (or go online) and buy copies of it!!
But please, those of you in London, we're dying out here--Tell us what happened!!
Good to see you all. Gotta go, but I'll keep checking back as often as I can for the news!!
Leave it to our guy to come up with a stunt like this one!! You're right, F.M. I keep hearing in my head Meat saying, "Hey, this is rock and roll. ANYTHING can happen!!"
Today, he wasn't kidding!!! :lol:

Another great day!

It appears on the BBC LDN news at 24:30 mins (about 10 secs) :)
Is it just me or does the song seem to be getting shorter every time it's on tv?
Patti was great!!! and so was Meat of course.

Meat was FANTASTIC on TOTP tonight!!!!!!
He rocked the set completely, and Patti was stunning, as usual!!

Grrrrrrrrr! I'm on the durn old computers at work and they don't have enough memory to run the BBC news! I'll have to hold out for a few hours until I get home.
Actually, it the best of both worlds for Meat NOT to get arrested- he gets the publicity from the bus and is still able to sell a load of CD's by being free to do the signing at Virgin Megastore. If he were being arrested, he would likely miss out on the signing.

Thank's for the link Mariella!

I was just checking this link and it seems the latest news is there now. As far as I know without Meat. :?
Did anyone see the latest edition of the BBC 1 London news this evening?
Mariella
Meat is still not on the playlist for BBC local radio .. however I have found the name of the bloke in London who makes these decisions. So .. let's do some polite and non-hostile lobbying ..
We're requesting our local station to play Meat Loaf's new song CHSIB, as performed on TOTP tonight, but it isn't on the playlist for local radio. This is arguably his best song since Anything For Love, and that was quite popular!! It's written by James Michael and Nikki Sixx .. is bang up to date and delivered impeccably, and is the title track from an album that's debuted at No 2 in the charts .. Meat appeals to people from 7 to 70 so he must fit their demographics .. so please, please will Andy add it to the playlist for BBC Local radio
You can email claier.jago@emap.com and mark it for the attention of Andy Roberts .. and perhaps include the url for Jen's e-card so he can see and hear just how good it is for himself
http://www.meatloaf-multimedia.com/CHSIB/ecard1.html
After all .. we can't expect Meat to phone in every station every day to get it played ..
R
Will this be switched to the CHSIB group
and everyone .. are we going to move action stuff to this thread from the previous one now??
Caryl
Hi Fire Ball & all:-)
I was there & gotta say it was excellent!!!! Meat & rest of band rocked Oxford street.........
& Nope he didnt get arrested, but not for want of trying lol..
They all got soaked but played on anyway.. Patti renamed song to "I couldn't of said it wetter myself"
I've never seen so many people at a signing so it definitely did the trick. Meat was on top form singing & chatting his way through it..
I've only just got in & am really tired so will try to update this if know one else does:-)
I also got the whole thing on camcorder, so i'll post it if I can find webspace
Thanx Meat for a really great evening:-)

Good luck Meat! For goodness sake, make sure you are secure on the top of that bus- no more concussions are needed!

I also got the whole thing on camcorder, so i'll post it if I can find webspace
That would be great, so here's hoping you can.

Missed seeing the publicity stunt .. but it sounds great Fireball ..
Now off to promote the album ... ribbet ribbet :))
Campaigners Certs come in at around 53kb btw .. so you'll need a mail allowance that accomodates that .. ribbet ribbet .. :))
Meat, you never cease to amaze me!
How did you power your equipment (eg amplifiers, guitars etc), or did you do it totally acoustically?
How about surprising the record company with a performance right outside their building? Or how about in the middle of a busy street? You'd have to get arrested then!
Getting Meat on the playlists
Unfortunately they've caught on at the addy I posted .. but I have a list of MDs and their PAs ' addies . Perhaps email me at caryl@republic-of-loafdom.com ? and I'll send it to you :)

Gee, wish I was in London to witness this. Perhaps the same stunt could be performed down on the Auckland waterfront with MEAT singing from a superyacht!!
Can't wait to see the link of the performance.
Yes it was great. I saw it on BBC. Meat you did a great job. Hope you will beat that material girl now. Better promotion is not possible.
:D You also can play on the roof of the Hilton Hotel in Amsterdam. But don't jump :)
About a 2 minute segment was also shown on ITV London news both at tea-time and later (11.30pm ish). There were several clips of Meat talking, a brief interview with Patti and CHSIB was played almost throughout it!
Now THAT's promotion!

I so wish I'd have been in Oxford Street to see that :twisted: :lol: :P :twisted:
Still not sure which thread we're continuing with for our promo activity ..
But we have some ROL mailing list members who aren't on the forum here, and I sent out the Campaign Certs to them yesterday .. got this reply this am:
Thanks so much! Just goes to show I would do anything for......well for love and for him!!!!!!!!
Rachel--whos co-workers are hooked on DIST & CHSIBM!!!!!!!!!!! WOO-HOOOOOOOOO
The word keeps spreading :))
I was palying the album continuously in my shop yesterday and managed to convince around 15 people to nip down the road and buy a copy.
Every Little Helps. (although the words are going round in my head now after 13 hours of listening!!!!)
That's great Chris!! btw I've redone the picture posters with the blue album cover replacing the red single cover if anyone wants them
just email caryl@republic-of-loafdom.com
A thought .. we could put A4 picture posters in pubs/clubs/offices and noticeboards/and how about in our cars?
I keep thinking of the thousands of people who will stream into Meat's concerts here in November, but who because they don't come to internet sites and don't hear it on the radio .. grrrrr :angry: .. WOULD buy it now, but won't if they don't know about it
Oyeah, i've heard it!!! It sounds f*cking cool!! Meat Loaf, you sound great!!!!
Well, maybe it it something different, but it is from the 25/4/03
CHSIB not listed in BBC Official top 40 albums nor singles but is still No 1 Rock single ..
Not surprising it's slipped from the top 40 singles IF THERE AREN'T MANY CDs IN THE SHOPS AND IT ISN'T GIVEN AIRPLAY!!!!!
Still not on any of the 3 playlists ..
Go to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/top40/albums.shtml, check the playlists and use message board or contact to let them know your feelings!
It is listed in the singles still at #31. They didn't update te site yet. Or are you looking somewhere else?
I was looking on the BBC Official UK charts .. as on the website above .. but see that's down at the moment so perhaps they're updating it ..
That's because there is a "," behind the url you posted ;p
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/chart/top40/albums.shtml
Here you go. I still think these are last weeks charts still.
Haven't a clue why I couldn't see CHSIB in the singles .. perhaps I'm going mad :))
But there's no mention of CHSIB in the albums
But there's no mention of CHSIB in the albums

What an incredible idea Meat!!! How did it go???? US fans want to know!!!!!! (you probably made the newspaper there!!!!
BRAVO!!!!!
Heartened by Meatloafisgod's success story with his local paper, I've written to the Sheffield Star, who it seems are co-sponsors of Meat's concerts at Hallam Arena in Shefflied :)
How about we all write to local papers, particularly those in locations where Meat's appearing in November?
Here's an index of on-line listings of newspapers:
http://www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/papers/onlinedailyindex.shtml
Can we cover the key ones between us or are there some areas where he'll be appearing where we don't have a campaigner?
I've emailed editors/newsdesks of 50 local papers where their catchment area is within travelling distance of a concert venue. Because this campaign IS a story imo .. of real music and real people inspired by a rock legend
There's also letters pages .. anything which people might see and want to go out and buy the album seems to be useful .. but they are best sent by people in the area .. so could people write on-line or in the post to their local papers letters columns?
As Chris says . every little helps!! .. ribbet ribbet :)
