Rest assured, Carole, there is no way of editing it that wouldn't make Gary Busey look like an arse. That's how he's known in Hollywood and how he comes across in general.
(Oh, hi, everyone, this is batoutofhell, BTW. After the admin refused to take care of a log-in issue I had, presumably because I was the only one having it and not worth their time, I was forced to register a new name. Howdy!)

Its kind of sad, Busey had a good career ahead of him and ruined it with drugs and booze!!
It would have been funny though to see them have a scrap. I reckon they would habe both been out of breath from the shouting even before it came to fisty cuffs.
But I reckon Meat would have put him on his arse with one punch.

Considering that that is the topic of the thread I'd say that's an excellent idea.
The advertisements on TV for the upcoming Celebrity Apprentice have been coming in fast and furious on prime time. However, tonight was the first night that the blow up between Busey and Meat have been in the clips. And boy Meat was PISSED OFF!!!!! Edit job, perhaps... but controversy = ratings. Just can't wait to see the show beginning March 6th here in the States.

it's designed to look controversial when it could've been completely taken out of context, who knows.
The show doesn't do much for me anyway, so can't see me wanting to watch it.
besides he could've just been performing a really poor alternate version of Don't Get Me Going for Busey!*
*I'm not that big a fan of the original version before anyone asks.

I'm looking forward to seeing the show. It'll be really interesting to see what Busey said to get Meat so upset. I read that everyone else on the show called Meat a sweetheart :-) I also read that Busey didn't last very long before getting fired.

That's one of the problems I have with reality TV. I don't like how people appear on such shows. The fact that the trailer obviously puts emphasis on conflicts says a lot about that show and maybe that's one of the reasons why people watch it - because arguments are more exciting and "entertaining" than if everybody was nice to each other? :shrug: Seeing that kind of behavior in connection with charity is kind of absurd, in my opinion.

Maybe Busey was being the arse and Meat's reaction was justified? :shrug: It's a teaser to get people to watch the show.
And Sarge is right (unfortunately, I guess)- the show would be less interesting if people were nice to each other (although, they often are, in having watched it). I remember that was a criticism of the first season of "Big Brother" (which I don't watch, and I have no idea if it's still on).
That clip was more than likely just a few seconds out of the show.

so... we have a clip, out of context, of an actor, on a reality tv show, apparently losing there temper, about something which we have know idea, on a show for an american audience, where rivalry and controversy are the main goal for ratings, on a promo clip chosen by the producers?
i cant read too much into that, apart from, i've no idea who most (all the rest) of the people are
Meat looked pissed:D,, good stuff!! its a reality tv show people.
you go on it for publicity, and to help ur favourite charity? it will be great promo for Meat, its as simple as that.

why? this is the real world, its not always bunnys and ice cream;)

Publicity? Interesting... Didn't Meat deny that he did it for that reason?
and to help ur favourite charity?
Can't he do that without that TV show?

it really does amaze me just how deep people look into every little thing Meat does or hang onto every word he says? HE IS A CELEBRITY!!!!! he will go on shows like this from time to time, he will release albums, host shows, do movies etc etc,, he has a manager who,s job is to get Meat work [ news flash ]:shock:,, it is one of the most watched shows in the USA, it will do him no harm imo, it keeps him in the public eye? he shouts at somebody:shock:,, quick hit the red button, fire up the sirens!! the end is now:D
im not sure about the shirt Meat wore on that chat show last night, did you hear Meat say this is hes best album ever!!! Meat actually defended himself on here? why did he do that? its not a concept album:shock:,, why not? because i know more about the album, than the artist that recorded it!!!
last monday Meat said hes favourite colour was blue, today he said it was green:shock:,, i dont feel i can be a fan anymore after that? he swore to me it was blue:roll:
petty crap like that,,,,

I thought Meat cleared up the reason "why" he did "this" show. How can you believe one thing he says to a "T" then not believe him the next? And I'm not talking about the Bat 3 stuff at all. Clearly he's not yanking anyone's chains about this. He did well and we'll find out how well beginning in March. Glass half full. :shrug: I think whatever money he has earned for his charity will be well received, well used and help a LOT of children.

:lmao: I believe Meat is open minded, ever learning, and entitled to change his opinion.
Indeed .. and entitled, after he's fulfilled his obligations, to admit the whole process of delivering a piece of work was an unmitigatingly bad experience for him. Most of us can look back with regret or disappointment on things we've had to follow through because we've committed to them; not all of us disclose that, nor have it brought up repeatedly to cast doubt on what we move on to do in the future.
I don't believe we'll ever see Meat swallowing down wriggling grubs in the jungle! .. but I can see the appeal of testing himself on the Apprentice whilst at the same time earning for a charity he has such respect for. Might it have some general positive PR spin-off? Who knows? Meat thinks little of any significance, that these shows are quickly forgotten, and has said this was not his motivation for doing it.
I think his integrity stands up well to the intense scrutiny some put it under. My view is that those lucky enough to be able to watch the programme will see him do very well on it.
Caryl

That's okay but he should not attack his fans for having trusted him, looking forward to the album and spending their hard-earned money on it a few years after he extensively promoted it as something great. People who didn't know the background were insulted because they did not understand why Meat slated Bat III in interviews and dared to say that they like the album. Changing one's opinion is fine but having a go at people (fans!) who are not responsible for any bad experiences the making of the album caused him is highly unfair.
I think his integrity stands up well to the intense scrutiny some put it under.
After seeing him go off in the trailer I'm afraid he will appear like certain other participants. I'm still hoping that it was not serious, a misleading edit or that he was just acting the tantrum for some reason but recalling previous shows, I tend to doubt that.
Okay, maybe it's "normal" these days that people, even "celebrities" behave that way in public, maybe that's what is considered good entertainment. :shrug: I have to admit that I like to listen to what Trump says - but some of the candidates... :roll: Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I'm not keen on witnessing Meat fighting with Gary Busey or someone else on TV. I watched a movie with Busey today and I kind of like him (he makes good villains :twisted:) and I hope he didn't make a fool of himself on that show.
Some people will probably think that Meat angrily yelling at someone is somehow "cool" but I want to admire artists for their talents, I don't need to be "entertained" by that kind of behavior.
allrevvedup
04 Feb 2011, 19:00
The one thing that has come from the brief trailers I have seen for this is that Busey doesn't even sound like the man who played some great villains in different films.
He just sounds like a man that the 'rock n roll lifestyle' (apart from playing Buddy Holly I don't think he's performed musically in anything, though I'm sure I'll be corrected) has caught up on, which is sad.
That's okay but he should not attack his fans for having trusted him, looking forward to the album and spending their hard-earned money on it a few years after he extensively promoted it as something great. People who didn't know the background were insulted ...
He attacked his fans? I didn't see that. He's said here he hates the album, and pretty soon explained why. This site represents relatively few of his fans surely in the greater scheme of things, and I saw no attacks on fans in the press or in interviews.
I loved and still love the album (and there were plenty here who didn't .. so I can't see they would have been insulted, apart from him releasing it!). I understand why Meat feels the way he does, and that doesn't insult me. If someone looks forward to the album, buys it and likes it, why should that change?
If anyone read an interview where Meat "slated" the album (and I think in any I saw he explained why) I see no reason for them to interpret that as an attack, nor for them to change their mind about what they like to listen to, nor for them to feel they wouldn't "dare" to say to a friend that they like it.
After seeing him go off in the trailer I'm afraid he will appear like certain other participants. I'm still hoping that it was not serious, a misleading edit or that he was just acting the tantrum for some reason but recalling previous shows, I tend to doubt that.
Well what we've seen IS a brief edit. I'd prefer to watch the show before I pass judgement. I've also seen edits which show Meat working and joking with people coming into a pizza parlour, which could be more indicative of his contribution.
Maybe I'm old-fashioned but I'm not keen on witnessing Meat fighting with Gary Busey or someone else on TV.
I've just seen him yelling at Busey not to get in his face .. hardly "fighting". He used his "Meat Loaf" character and that's probably why that edit was chosen. From what Meat has said I have the impression he worked hard and competed whilst having fun, learned a lot, enjoyed doing it, and was pretty successful.
Some people will probably think that Meat angrily yelling at someone is somehow "cool" ....
I don't .. but I do accept it as an very short edit chosen by those promoting the programme and not necessarily indicative of Meat's showing as a whole. So far I've seen more affability than anger from him in edits made public. This particular one may make a lot more sense when seen in context. Did he lose his cool, or did he simply give Busey an effective and deserved warning not to behave like a jackass? It will become clear when the episode airs.
Caryl
He attacked his fans? I didn't see that.
He did. He called people names on here (not single people but an entire group of fans) because of the Bat III issue. (That was before he explained why he dislikes the album.) It was one of the reasons why I left this forum for a while and seriously considered putting my Meat Loaf collection on eBay.

Wow. Imo y'all need to chill out. He's one man. He's not perfect and not a god. If you don't want to watch it don't. If you do, more power to you. Meat did the show and its over now. At the end of the day, its his choice, not yours. Maybe it opened the doors for a role meat really wanted, or allowed him to make this new album he's working on. God....sometimes I wonder....
At the end of the day, its his choice, not yours.
No one is going to say what he should or what he should not do. But if he does something, e.g. appearing on a TV show, you have the right to have an opinion about it.

I like the show, so I'll watch. And Meat Loaf yelling doesn't bother me. If someone makes me mad enough, I will yell. It doesn't happen often, but it has happened. If you don't like it, don't watch. If you don't like anything going on with Meat Loaf, well, there is an opening on the Justin Bieber fan site.

Are we forgetting that Meat Loaf is a VERY VERY emotional person? He cares deeply about what he does, so if Gary provoked him (as I'm SURE he did), Meat's gonna get animated. That's not weakness at all. We don't know the context, but we know Busey is insane and Meat is very emotionally involved, so add two and two.
I personally am looking forward to this show, and it will no doubt wake up some Meat fans that this man hasn't mellowed AT ALL. That's a good thing.
but we know Busey is insane and Meat is very emotionally involved, so add two and two.
I assume that's one of the characteristics of reality TV. It features people whose personalities will inevitably clash in certain circumstances so that the audience and the media have something to talk about. I neither think that it's fair nor am I excited about it. Well, that's contemporary "entertainment", I guess. :shrug:
Seeing Meat yelling doesn't bother me in the least, and I certainly don't see it as a sign of weakness. If anything, the clip makes me even more curious to watch the show and see what Gary Busey said (or did) to get him so upset. To each their own I guess :shrug:
If you don't like it, don't watch.
Exactly ... it's as simple as that :wink:
Last night, while out and about clubbing around town, I had a few different people let me know they planned on watching Celeb Apprentice because they wanted to see Meat Loaf on the show - most of them did not watch before. Getting out of the superfan cloud, people thought it was exciting to actually see him in a commercial and going to be on a show they could watch.

I'm assuming though that even if they post the videos on their site after airing it's going to be the same situation as it is with the commercials that are on there and not viewable outside the US.
Going back to the thread title, I don't like seeing anyone lose their temper, particularly someone I respect and admire as much as Meat but I'm sure he had his reasons. I'd never heard of this Gary Busey before we heard he'd be on Celebrity Apprentice with Meat but by the sounds of it, he is pretty strange.

Gary Busey seemed kind of odd and slightly repulsive when he was young, and I think he decided he had something good goin' on there, and just really went with it :) If you have "Chasing Ghosts" (2005) pull it off the shelf and play the outtakes to see what he's like. Btw Meat's one outtake (actually it's an improv) is hilarious! (but to get it, you have to watch the movie first; which is fine, it's a good movie)
I've seen the clips from Celebrity Apprentice, and my favorite, hands down, is the one where Meat tells Gary Busey "You'll be in the hospital in about 4 minutes!" I think Meat looks fabulous in the clip. Honest anger, passionately and non-violently expressed makes for entertaining TV, and to tell you the truth I don't have any problem with it in real life, either.

Right you are about Gary Busey :-) And thanks for the information about the outtakes ... I haven't watched the DVD for ages, and really need to check it out.

:??::??::??:
never knew Busey and Meat were in a movie together!
:??::??::??:
There was no physical violence, and it is obvious in the clip that Meat was not looking to provoke any. Having passionately expressed his anger, he is shown moving away; he wants no physical confrontation. It is the honesty of his expression that appeals to me and, I think will to many viewers of the show. It's great that he can support a charity by using his business acumen and his talent for entertaining. And make no mistake, this is entertainment! I have no idea if Meat's part in this clip was spontaneous or if he planned it in advance; either way, this clip in particular has me looking forward to the show even more than I was before :)

It's great that he can support a charity by using his business acumen and his talent for entertaining.
If you are famous and have "business acumen and talent for entertaining" you can support a charity without having to argue with other "celebrities" in front of TV cameras for "entertainment" puposes, can't you?
There was no physical violence
It's verbal violence and an indication that a person is overstrained with a particuar situation, I don't consider it "entertaining" at all and I find it disappointing that many people think it is. The clip that shows Meat yelling at Busey will probably make a lot of people watch this season of Celebrity Apprentice but it has quite the opposite effect on me.
If you like that show, that's fine with me, I don't expect anybody to share my opinion but I will try to ignore the reality TV persona Meat Loaf in order to make sure that I can enjoy the work of the singer/actor Meat Loaf without prejudice. I'm looking forward to the new album.

Is Meat Loaf the person contradictory to his singing/acting persona? He's a passionate, over-the-top guy that occassionally gets angry and screams. Listen to Bat Out Of Hell. The man screams a lot. Thinking he's gonna be a quiet, conformist guy in real life is ridiculous.
And Gary Busey is INSANE. We're lucky Meat didn't break his nose like many would.
What does Bat Out Of Hell have to do with a situation that causes an argument between people? I love to listen to Bat, that's what I call entertainment (because singing that song actually requires talent - unlike yelling at someone). Seeing Meat (or whoever) get angry and scream because he's pissed at something / someone I consider rather annoying.
And if Busey is really "insane" he should not be admitted to such shows. But that would be less "entertaining", I guess.

:twisted: I don't think it's quite fair to condemn Gary Busey as being insane as we have no idea what he did to provoke such an outburst, and wether it was deserved.
Likewise, I don't think anyone can blame Meat just yet for being so angry because we don't know if it was justified.
To find out if Meat's reaction was justified or not, you've got to watch the show, and how about that?The ad has done it's job :mrgreen:
At this point in time I believe Meat has done it for (at least what he at heart believes to be) the right reasons, to do a little good in the world while raising his own profile.
The clips i've seen have certainly been explosive.
I'm not a fan of people being nasty to each other like that.There's too much of that in the world as it is without celebrities (who are role models to many, wether they like it or not) without going for each others throats and acting like kids in a playground.
That said, there is no denying it is popular and compelling viewing to the masses, especially when things are edited to show the worst and played out of context.
I think rather than argue about this show, we should at least hold off till we've watched it (or chosen not too) before we discuss the ins and outs :shrug:

Exactly
Here's an article about the show:
Donald Trump returns with "The Celebrity Apprentice" and an all-new celebrity lineup of candidates: David Cassidy, LaToya Jackson, Dionne Warwick, NeNe Leakes, Meatloaf , Jose Canseco, Richard Hatch, Gary Busey, Lil Jon, Mark McGrath, Hope Dworacyk, Marlee Matlin, Lisa Rinna, Niki Taylor, and Star Jones.
This is the fourth installment of "The Celebrity Apprentice" and the eleventh season of the series.
Contestants will not be vying for a job with Donald Trump however; instead the business-savvy celebrity contestants will be working towards a greater goal -- as they raise money for their various charities throughout the season. Not only will the final winner be crowned the 'Celebrity Apprentice,' but he or she will also have the honor of delivering a $250,000 bonus check to their designated charity.
All of the celebrities will be competing in business-driven tasks around New York City, using their fame along with their proven business acumen to win challenges, while ultimately raising money and awareness for their respective causes.
Just as in the regular "Apprentice," the celebrities will be subjected to long hours, grueling mental challenges, personality clashes, and intense scrutiny -- all without the help of their regular support system of agents, managers, and personal assistants.
Certain tasks encourage the contestants to reach out to their network of celebrity contacts for assistance or donations -- making for entertaining surprise visits by some of the world's biggest stars along the way.
All of the tasks will be judged by Trump and his advisers in the boardroom. Returning back to the boardroom are Trump's children (and colleagues) Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., alongside longtime Trump Organization employee and "Apprentice" advisor George Ross.
I don't like Donald Trump and have never watched his show.
I don't like Meat screaming or people seeming to be angry with one another.
The only "reality" show I watch is Dancing With The Stars. Seldom have I seen the contestants on there angry with one another. In fact, I don't remember seeing it at all.
I know he never will, but I really wish Meat would go on DWTS.
It's nice that on DT's show the winner gets money for charity, but I don't think I'll be watching to see who the winner is.
I've been trying my best to stay positive and keep away from negativity.
Peace to you all ... t ... xo

Right on!
Gary Busey seemed kind of odd and slightly repulsive when he was young, and I think he decided he had something good goin' on there, and just really went with it :) If you have "Chasing Ghosts" (2005) pull it off the shelf and play the outtakes to see what he's like. Btw Meat's one outtake (actually it's an improv) is hilarious! (but to get it, you have to watch the movie first; which is fine, it's a good movie)
I've seen the clips from Celebrity Apprentice, and my favorite, hands down, is the one where Meat tells Gary Busey "You'll be in the hospital in about 4 minutes!" I think Meat looks fabulous in the clip. Honest anger, passionately and non-violently expressed makes for entertaining TV, and to tell you the truth I don't have any problem with it in real life, either.

Someone may end up uploading them to YouTube or you could do a web search after the show has started airing. There are loads of these type of websites listed but a lot of them don't seem all that trustworthy. Usually you have to complets an 'offer' to unlock the content and then you get loads of spam in your inbox.

There are plenty of place to get tv shows online that I have had no trouble with spam or viruses using. The tv networks are still stuck in the 90's. Of course watching them makes you less holy, fortunately that isn't a problem for me. :D

I'm with you on this. I REALLY want to watch this show, simply because Meat is in it and, when Meat is around, you just know you are gonna be entertained! BUT, I'm in the UK!!!
I've never seen the logic in the websites for these TV shows only being available in the country where the show is shown, when they can watch it on the TV anyway. :shrug: It's those of us who live in other countries where it's not shown who will want to watch them since we can't watch it here. :confused:

So far I've seen Meat yell, cry... Can't say that I envy him. :-P I stick to my opinion: I think it's very sad. I suspect his "colleagues" will be equally "impressive".
The season of Celebrity apprentice with Clint Black and Dennis Rodman was hugely entertaining, probably the only reality show I've ever enjoyed in my entire life. And I expect this coming season to be even better, especially because I'm actually gonna be rooting for a person (Meat, obviously). The show isn't Jersey Shore trash or Dancing With The Stars drivel. It's not sad in the least. Meat is gonna be the friggin man on this show, and people are gonna see why so many others proclaim him as a rock god.
On a separate issue entirely, this is America we're talking about. The number one show on TV is "Two and a Half Men," the single least funny hack-job a person could possibly imagine. Comparitively, Apprentice is F-ing Shakespeare.

I have to disagree with you there. I love Two and a Half Men, it's one of the funniest shows on TV.

It is what it is...if you do not approve, then don't watch. There is a lot of content Meat Loaf puts out (most of his movies) that I have never bothered to track down because it does not interest me. Play write Del Shores recently said something like "not everything I do is for my entire fan base, if you don't like a certain project then don't buy the product, that is the best way to get my attention" after fans jumped on his facebook to complain about an upcoming project of his. At the end of the day a person is privileged and honored to be able to pick and chose what they do and to do mostly what they want to do - not have have to. Meat Loaf is a fortunate soul for his gets to pick and chose and this is a choice he made, along with Patrick.

Meat Loaf is a fortunate soul for his gets to pick and chose and this is a choice he made, along with Patrick.
As I said earlier, he can do whatever he wants to do but as he can complain about Steven Tyler working as a judge on American Idol*, I can say what I think about a TV show and his participation in it (or Patrick :twisted:, especially since I had to pay money for him).
if you do not approve, then don't watch.
Paraphrasing your sentence: If you don't like my opinion, don't read my posts. Feel free to disagree but don't tell me what I'm allowed to say or not to say. Having an opinion that is different from that of others is no violation of forum rules and I don't see why I should not be allowed to speak my mind the same way the "everything Meat Loaf does is great" faction does.
And as I said earlier as well (in a post that was deleted from another thread along with the posts I responded to), I will not be silent, conceal my opinion or lie just to please people who expect everybody to unconditionally praise everything Meat Loaf does and who think that they have the right to restrict other people's freedom of speech.
* A show that at least has something to do with music and that probably won't involve a "celebrity" threatening that another person "will be in hospital within four minutes".

That's the annoying thing about syndication. You give your opinion and a single website posts it, then it gets basically spam-released by all of the other syndicated blog sites and pretty soon you have 500 sites printing that you disagree with Steven Tyler being on Idol.
I didn't think it was a bad thing to read though? It also said that you know some people probably won't like the idea of seeing you on Celebrity Apprentice either, and I think most people will understand that its just a matter of opinion, your not saying he should never have gone on idol and most people who read it will hopefully realize that!

You said you'd made useful contacts from the show .. and you made a good deal of money for a fantastic charity, in addition to what you got for them through winning the Alice fantasy league. Networking's one of the most important aspects of any smart person in business .. earning/winning for Painted Turtle is admirable. I'll admit I'm glad I'm not likely to see you tryng to swallow a kangaroo testicle in the jungle ;) .. probably no more so than you :lol: But your reasons for appearing on Celebrity Apprentice to me are all laudable.
And .. I think you know a little bit more about your business than we do. So if you think Celebrity Apprentice is a worthwhile venture, or Rob's nomination as best producer is a good and deserved thing .. I'm happy to simply accept that ;)

So I had to googled it, and think that is A really great thing you are doing for them. The children are the most important thing in our lives! And I think we have to do everything we can, to help them to A better living. Well done, Meat
I don't know if this will work outside of the USA or not, but here's a great video of Meat describing his charity, The Painted Turtle :

He's so excited about his charity. :)
Ironically: I love the "Fire Ball" behind him and the motorcycle in the promo clip. Symbolic eh?

Thank you, Vicki, how heartwarming is that!
Well, that does it. Nikox, I may not be brave enough to be on the front lines but may I join your "Meat is Fantastic Faction" ? :)
I didn't know the Painted Turtle brought in siblings too; that probably not only makes them feel included, but closer to their ill brother or sister. What a wonderful charity Meat is supporting! I'm looking forward to the show even more now.

P.S. I agree with Meat. My new motto is "Compliments bear repeating; disses don't."

I'm still happy about Meat making money for his charity, but I'm still not watching the series. And if my beloved husband (who has seen an ad for Apprentice on tv) continues flashing four fingers at me (representing the "four minutes to hospital" with which Meat threatens Gary Busey) well... there will be no accounting for my actions ... :evil: ...

It sounds as if the "four finger/minute" countdown will be for when your hubby ends up in the hospital, if he keeps it up - LOL. Celebrity Apprentice has always been a guilty TV pleasure of mine, so I will be guilty of watching.
As the saying goes different strokes for different folks. Supporting the fact that Meat is making money for charity is the important thing

EXPOSURE - it's a rare commodity when any talentless ~~~~ can get on the air as long as they are willing to submit to a public voting spectacle.
Society loves to judge - if you can create a positive public impression and get your brand in the spotlight for 5 mins you do it - doesn;t matter of you are a rockstar, marketing exec or bartender. It is all about creating a positive narrative about yourself nowadays, whether bullshit or otherwise - doesn't seem to matter.
Which doesn't apply to Meat appearing on Celebrity Apprentice. He didn't do it for "exposure" and there's no public voting on the Apprentice shows, where you're judged on achievement by Donald Trump (or in the case of the UK version, Lord Sugar).
I agree there's a desire to judge in society these days, which contributes to the plethora of "reality" shows on TV these days which seek shedloads of money from telephone voting, but the Apprentice shows are not amongst them.

I'm sorry but I have to disagree with that, Meat has himself previously commenting about 'celebrities' coming out for telethons acting all concerned when they should be just getting their chequebooks out and leaving it at that. They do it because they have something to promote or they want to see themselves in the spotlight.
While I'm not arguing that Meat is raising money for a charity in this and that it is a worthy cause, everyone that goes on any kind of reality show is doing it for some sort of exposure and I'm sure there's a manager or promoter somewhere for Meat's shows in March/April (possibly even Meat himself) that will look upon Meat being on the show as a way to help boost ticket sales.
If you're going to appear on a reality show, then you could do alot worse than appear on one that does at least give you the opportunity to raise a shitload of cash for your chosen charity, in my view that's a better move than heading off to the jungle, swapping your wife for a week, learning to ice skate or having four other celebrities round for dinner ...
For the german fans - that works in Germany :-)

very true, but all the above is done for some form of exposure...but I suppose if you're crazy enough to eat kangaroo body parts then you deserve all you get (including a lot of mouthwash)

I was replying to a post suggesting that such appearances were done simply for exposure. Meat has said repeatedly that this was not the reason he agreed to take part, and has said that any incidental "exposure" is to him more of a disadvantage than a benefit. He had been asked several times to be on the show and refused. He has given his reasons for finally deciding to accept, and to me they ring true. I do not believe he did it to promote anything, or out of a desire to see himself in a spotlight. He is in that with great success every time he steps on stage :-)
In my view he was motivated by three things; the oportunity to win a large sum for a charity he feels very strongly about, his competitive drive, and the chance to learn through being tested. Promotion and/or exposure had nothing to do with it imo .. so we will need to agree to disagree.

I'm still happy for Meat winning money for his charity, but still have no desire to watch the show. I am looking forward to next week's announcement of who will be appearing on Dancing With The Stars. I like that show very much.

And that is A shame. The songs haven`t been played on tv or in the Radio...
Didn`t you Promote the Album in Norway,meat?
It's gonna make me crazy.
M
Thought you were already there :D
No turning back the hands of time now. Just brace yourself and your poor inbox for the notoriety. Perhaps saying "yes" is the sacrifice that HCTB needs to get it's due recognition, beginning with it's father getting a little :wacko:. Come out of the shadows long enough to fight the crowded airport/grocery store for HCTB to be in the spotlight....then the timing could look like you could build Handbasket off the momentum :shrug:.
Thanks for giving us a glimpse inside the plans.

Meat did his bit .. ran himself ragged round Europe and gave a playback session for the Norwegian media (I'm sure someone here secured an invite and reported back). How much push the label invest, and how creatively, is another matter. Getting airplay in any country seems to be difficult for Meat's releases now, although he had good airplay on BBC radio2 here and was in the their top 10 playlist for 3 weeks.
Like Lisa, I'm glad Meat's still pushing to get HCTB the recognition it deserves .. though I never doubted he would :-) As he said many years ago .. "I'm a train ...", and there's plenty of power in that engine still ;)

Yes, I saw on he`s Twitters that he had been promoting here in Norway.....
Thats why it is so weard that I`v never heard the album on radio or other places over here.

So I guess I just have to travel to UK or the US to see A consert. Will I do It? YES I WILL!!!!

Now its time to let your hair grow again :D
every show/contest/radio/tv adds etc etc,, you do Meat is promo at the end of the day. thats why i find it strange when people are in shock when you appear on such shows. but as you said, this is what you have to do these days to get deals/exposure? and plus all your charity work. keep going it will pay off:D
At the end of the day, Meat is raising a hell of a lot of money for his chosen charity, which is going to benefit a lot of children and their families. IMO that is what counts, raising money for charity is never a bad thing ! If you don't like the show you don't have to watch it. Not saying you can't have an opinion on Meat doing the show, my opinion is that it is great !

They talked about Celebrity Apprentice on my local radio this morning. The DJ's commented that by all the promo that Meat Loaf seemed to be the "heavy hitter." They also mentioned there was rumor of a "new" Meat Loaf CD being released on the coat tails of Celebrity Apprentice - maybe the re-release of Hang Cool Teddy Bear???

I's sure you're right and that's what's Meat meant when he posted here about the attention that had arisen due to the trailers for CA and attendant publicity .. "This show isn't over. if we get airplay . they will re-lease."
Even with an additional track and spoken parts of the short story added before some songs, it's an HCTB re-release, which he said would go to Itunes in USA. The new album he's working on couldn't be described as "on the coat-tails of Celebrity Apprentice" imo

Thought it was a cool look too. With the longish hair and goatee. That being said, I can't wait for Sunday. I followed Celebrity Appearance last year, the one with Bret Michaels & SHaron Osbourne. She a cutie I might add. Though I wouldn't wanna see her with a goatee ;)
It was all very chatty on the radio this morning. They were going over all of the contestants on the newest Celeb Apprentice. As is the usual format with our drive hour show, our local girl will pitch the ball (provide the info) and the two guys will bat it. She was giving the names and they were all talking about it. When she said Meat Loaf - one guy said that Meat Loaf looked to be featured a lot based on the commercials being shown on TV and the other guy said to watch out for the new CD being released - they all said it seemed excellent timing for Meat Loaf to release a new CD with the appearance on the show. HCTB or something else, it is all new to most of American radio, as they really only "know" what is on their play list and nothing from HCTB really hit priority play list on Clear Channel. Either way, it was exciting to hear Meat being talked about while driving to work this morning!!

The singers who compete on the show often get to perform on the finale. I hope Meat gets to perform in May, perhaps one of the new songs they are working on for HIAH. It would be a great way to introduce the world to the upcoming album. If they perform the song that will be the first HIAH single on the finale in May, maybe it will then get some radio airplay and drum up a lot of interest before the album is released in September.

if mr loaf does get to perform, the smart bet would be to pick a hang cool song... which ever one the record company/promoters/media gets behind if the album is getting rereleased.
(i still think if it rains would make a fine song to releaase)

Looking forward to the the Celebrity Apprentice the countdown is 2 days away. Lots of promo's. And there are news articles on the web. Not so sure how many people are eager to watch Meat on the show. Should a new thread be started about Celebrity Apprentice talk or is this one good enough to post comments about the show?
GO TEAM LOAF FOR THE PAINTED TURTLE!
Twitter peeps - maybe we should coordinate our efforts?
#teamloaf sounds like a good one???
What do you think?

I'd go for that, being someone who won't be able to watch it on TV. I'd much prefer a thread here rather than Twitter, which with its character restrictions seems to be for short announcements/comments. Not everyone uses Twitter, particularly as Meat's messages are shown here as news. Twitter would be fine for showing support on the internet at large, but I don't see it as the best means for those of us who can't watch the show to be able to enjoy it at a distance.
If a thread is clearly labelled, any who don't want to read accounts of the shows can avoid it; those of us who do can enjoy it; those who want to question Meat's appearance on the show, or speculate as to what will come out of it for him can continue to post on this thread ;)

As soon as the reviews come in we can start a new thread, seems a sensible break point.
As for getting some twitter exposure, I don't see any harm for those who use twitter to agree a hashtag to try and get Meat trending.
Agreed. Let's trend #teamloaf on twitter for fun and support! And if I happen to be the one of the first reviewing I'll keep in mind a thread name change. ;) Thanks for responding everyone. One more day now! See ya then.

those who want to question Meat's appearance on the show, or speculate as to what will come out of it for him can continue to post on this thread ;)

Okay, okay ...
then here I stay ...
SHURma bave ... ;) ... :lol: ...
I know the NeNe Leakes people are already starting #teamnene so #teamloaf really cannot hurt. As for the character restrictions on Twitter, I like the challenge. Makes you be pithy in your comments.

So it appears frequently :lol: However, all I was saying was that it makes it not the best medium for interesting and informative accounts of what went on for those unable to see the programme.

How about the best of both worlds then! Tweet #TeamLoaf and read here for the play by play medium. Painting a visual picture here, if you will, for Meat and The Painted Turtle :)
After doing a quick search there is some sort of #TeamLoaf trend out there, but I can't figure out the cause or reason. However if we post on facebook that we started to trend #TeamLoaf in support of celebrity apprentice, we should get a few number of people having some fun ! Give that #teamNeNe a bit of a run eh?
I see a couple #TeamLoaf tags....let's do this!!!! Remember, reference @realmeatloaf and @ApprenticeNBC - that helps whoever monitors Meat's twitter and the Apprentice twitter see the support.

Here is an article about making things trend. If we blast twitter during show time, our chances are even greater.
Meat - any chance of throwing out a #teamloaf tweet from your account? Verified accounts are weighed heavier. That's what helps the Jersey Shore peeps so much.
Good one Dave! I'm with ya!
When we get it up and running, can someone put a link to it here so it will be easy for people to join.

@ Carole do you have twitter? what is your name there? all you do is copy this: RT #TeamLoaf to support Meat Loaf for Celebrity Apprentice 2011. @RealMeatLoaf @Apprentice NBC
put that in your status bar. Then RT any other people you see using the #TeamLoaf on twitter. :))) Have fun and happy trending.
Thanks Suzie, yeah I do have Twitter, I started it when Meat joined last year, but haven't been there in months.
Carole
@Carole me neither. LMAO! Until now that is. It's been fun to start a little Meat Loaf awareness.
@Carole I just tweeted to you. You can just hit the retweet button and start trending :)
