I'll be there! Travelling down on my own, so if any similarly lonesome folk feel like meeting up or keeping me company in the queue, get in touch. Otherwise, here's wishing you all a good time.

Like I said we could all meet up beforehand? There's a Pret a Manger right around the corner on Davies St.
Is this one where you have to line from 6am or because we've purchased are we fine?

Also will we be allowed to have a picture with Meat?

Unfortunately not as I'll be back to work that day up here in Edinburgh after the convention I'm going to so there isn't even the slightest possibility :(
Guess my wait to meet Meat will go on :P

This is something I'm waiting to find out Danny - I've asked the store if they can give me a rough idea. I'm heading down in the afternoon so if we have to queue early, that won't leave much time. Hopefully it won't come to that though...
Mr Flibble

I hope so, that's why I am going but I've realised this isn't mention. They say he is signing the CD sleeve but we won't receive the Cd until the day after in the post. Unless this is a mistake.
I'm up for meeting before hand Pret may be a bit small though especially as it's around rushhour.
I've been trying to upload an avatar pic to my profile so I'm identifiable but I appear to be rubbish at locating how to do this.
Mr Flibble
05 Aug 2016, 16:52
Done it :)
BTW I don't think you need to queue, there is a fast track option to queue jump but as it's limited to 300 I think everyone will get seen.
Unfortunately it's too far for me to travel from the US :D But I hope that everyone who can make it has an amazing time !

Yes cause it would not be chart eligible if it was sold on Thursday, well it would but the sales would go to the next day chart.

Hmm, I'm on the fence. I think I'll hold out hope for a similar event up North or save my money for gig tickets. Love Meat but a long road trip just to get a booklet signed is hard to justify when I've already met him and got a photo at one before.

And you really do only get 10 seconds.
Guy you mean the security that did not want me to take my picture to be signed :)
Hopefully with the event being limited numbers they might calm down and not be so keen to rush people through...the signings I did back in 2003 were great as ML was allowed to get on and do what he wanted, for however long he wanted, they were so relaxed.
If anyone by chance happens to have a spare ticket then please let me know! I was working until 21:00 yesterday and had no access to Internet or no idea these tickets were being made available. Money and my eternal gratitude awaiting!! :)

I was at the HCTB signing in the Netherlands. Great that they sell the tickets now! Then it was just horrible. Meat had an hour. But the line was twice as long, so a lot of people couldn't get a autograph. And the 10 seconds is right. I was lucky, because there were some press, who wanted to photograph and do some tv shots. But the time they were setting up, it was my turn so I got 5 minutes with him. If I was one earlier or later, it would been 10 seconds. So if you wanna say something to him, rehearse the shit out of it. My wife wanted to say something and she only said "Uhm blah, ha jah". In such short time frame you must do it right the first time ;)
Also take 1 person with you to photograph. At our signing he didn't do photographs because he got limited time. So I got real close at the signing and my wife took a lot of photograps and just hoping one is great. I got lucky because she got a photo where you see him talking to me and looking me in the eyes.
My biggest "complaint" from the last one was that the music was too loud and the table was too deep, so ML couldn't hear a single word anyone was saying to him, we ended up screaming at each other!
But hey...it's likely to be the last time we're doing this so let's just have fun and enjoy :)
I decided against going to this one.
One of my main concerns was the cost of attending and when I combined the price of the album that we were required to purchase to be able to attend together with the cost of getting there, it pushed it a little bit out of my budget for this moment in time. :(
I was so disappointed in HMV's handling of the last signing that I didn't really think I could justify paying to attend this one. Saying that though, I'm glad that the opportunity was there for those that wanted to take it and I sincerely hope that everyone who does go enjoys themselves.

I seriously was... I think by the time i spoke to you it was sold out. You know I'm never sensible but you are right we have road trips to plan!! it'd be crazy to fly 24 hours for 10 seconds... wouldn't it?!😃 you know me!!

That's why I'm going - I've never been to an album signing before and I've always wanted to meet Meat properly.
I should be on Oxford St around 4.30pm, delays pending so I should have an hour and a half to kill but afterwards I may have to dash onto the train! Would love to meet some of you guys!!

Cant wait for the whole train system to become completely automated. Hope no one has trouble getting there next week.
September 8 at 7pm, photographer Martin Hausler is to launch an exhibition featuring his work at London's Sanctum Soho hotel, which will include photos of Meat. Meat is quoted as saying " This man is one of the greatest photographers of all time. If you miss it, you are wrong." Might he make an appearance on the opening night after the signing?

Martin Häusler announces exhibition
PUBLISHED: 19 AUGUST 2016
Print Email
Martin Häusler is bringing a new exhibition to the Sanctum Soho Hotel this September. The exhibition will run for five weeks and will showcase a selection of photographs from Martin’s collection, as well as the unveiling of a 3D life size Brian May print, plus exclusive Meat Loaf prints will also be on display. Read the official press release below for more information:
The Martin Häusler Sanctum Soho Photography Takeover
Thursday 8th September – Thursday 13th October 2016
German portrait photographer Martin Häusler brings the latest installation of his works to London with The Martin Häusler Sanctum Soho Photography Takeover, which opens on Thursday 8th September for a 5-week residence.
Following successful exhibitions in Stuttgart, Los Angeles and his home town of Heidelberg, this latest collection will showcase Häusler’s works and feature British talent including the late Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead captured at his favourite Los Angeles hangout, a world first unveiling of a 3D life size print of Queen’s Brian May plus other international artists from the world of music, acting and entertainment.
With Häusler having shot the album photography for Meat Loaf’s upcoming album ‘Braver Than We Are’ (out in the UK on Friday 9th September), there will also be exclusive prints from the shoot on display to mark the release.
Sanctum Soho Hotel provides a natural setting for the Häusler’s debut exhibition in London, with both music and imagery being at the very heart of the hotel’s décor and ambience.
The installation will be opened with a launch event on Thursday 8th September at 7.00pm, which invited guests are welcome to attend and members of the public will be able to enjoy the works from that same evening, with prints located throughout the hotel in the lobby, restaurant/bar and roof terrace. There is no admission charge for visitors wishing to view the prints.
Just a reminder to you all. Just 3 more days before eBay is going to be flooded with signed Meat Loaf CD's for just 100,-- or more!

When I get off the tube I think Ill run in and ask a shop Asst to make sure
I think they just use that expression to make it clear they'd expect you to be there at 5. Last time the queue went from the front door and snaked round an alley at the back, but the only ones taken through a side door were those with priority tickets (which they didn't offer this time). Might even be to try and ensure people don't star queuing too soon, as that can make the police in Oxford Street twitchy.
Last time few in the store knew much about the arrangements as HMV sent a goon from their PR department with all the gentle manners of a stormtrooper, accompanied by a security force just short of being armed with weapons to manage it ;)
So whats the plan for Thursday?
Is anyone meeting up before hand?
Its a different HMV to the last one, as the last one is now a sports direct.

Event runs from 1800 - 2100, some time before that I'll be in The Running Horse pub @ 50 Davies St, London W1K 5JE (five mins from HMV).

I haven't had a confirmation email either but I have the original order that they confirmed was enough, so will be fine I am sure, must not forget to take ID apparently, just in case! I am now going on my own as my friend can't make it, I wonder if we will be allowed to take a photo? if so, I am hoping someone kind in the queue will do this for me as I will be Billy no mates ;)

Someone will help, just ask them. Everyone is usually a friendly bunch at these things. ;)

Just a tip when they don't allow pictures (which is very likely). Ask the person behind you in line if he/she wants to make a picture when you are at Meat's desk. You can look back in the camera and you have your picture that way ;)

That. Was. Brilliant!!!!!!!
Absolutely nothing like the last one and I can now add dueted with Meat singing Souvenir to my experiences..........ok, just a bit of it, ok ok a tiny bit of it, but it's a cool statement.
Much more relaxed, good amount of time with Meat and security were a lot more friendly, Good to meet old friends as well.
Very cool :D
2 questions
Did they only sign the booklet?
Was ther a photo moment/possibility for people?

If you got the booklet signed it was personalised or he'd autograph an item you brought.
No chance of photo, cameras were banned and they were hot on that as I found out. Was a photographer from HMV there who said he would be putting pics on facebook.

Very cool! Glad you guys had more time with Meat this time. Also good to hear you could bring any item to sign. :cool:

lol ... I'm so glad you had that experience, Monstro and yes... I'm seeing on Facebook a lot of folks talking about their one on one experience at the signing ...
Maybe next time folks won't be so negative when not having a clue how things will work out... DON'T WORRY... BE HAPPY ... lol ...

It was amazing to meet Meat today, sorry I didn;t make it to The Running Horse but the queue was there nad I thoguht I'd better get in it!! Met two people to chat to though, lovely and we went for a coffee afterwards.
Butt he signing, there were no photos and one item allowed. There was a photographer but but the time we got to Meat he was gone.
It was an honor to meet my idol at last, a lovely gentle man who's first question was how are you, Meat noticed my BOOH shirt and I told him about my Auntie meeting him in Germany.
A brief moment but one I shall cherish.
Good day had by all. I met some of this rabble...Guy arrived after looking spiffing in green.
