My Australian Couldn't Have Said It Better has been dispatched! Yay!!:P :D :lol: Ahem, :oops: Just thought I'd share my hapiness at this great news with you all. Hopefully it wont take too long to arrive, but it is coming from other side of the world. & Hopefully I'll get it in time for my birthday on Thursday.

Very cool! Which company did you buy yours from? I also ordered one, from Chaos music, but mine has to come even further; to the US. I can't wait to hear the live tracks. :lol: :lol:

Sherrie

I cancelled the one from Chaos and re-ordered it as an import from Amazon.com here in the U.S. ... the price was about the same (surprisingly), but hopefully I should get it a lot sooner :) I am so looking forward to those live tracks too !! :lol:

[sherrie87]

Doh! Why didn't I think of that Vicki? :oops: Oh well.....either way it will arrive, just a bit later I guess.

Actually I was surprised to see it listed on Amazon ... usually it takes a long time for them to get imports like that.

Hopefully you won't have to wait too long :)

My Birthday today, but havent got my Aussie CHSIB yet :( But it'll be worth the wait (it IS coming from the other side of the world after all). & I got next week off work so when it does arrive I can listen to it ALL WEEK. By the way, I ordered it from HMV australia as the HMV websites are usually pretty good. (except the Canadian one as my credit card people (the Bank I work for!) wont convert canadian dollars to pounds!)

That's a shame you haven't gotten the CD yet ... but it'll definitely be worth the wait :) I know you'll enjoy it !
Vicki

[ChrisBelfast]

And it Rocks! Live tracks are excellent, i know know what people mean when they say its the best NE Yet!!! The bonus live CD is worth the price of a cd on its own!

[heat]

Take it you like it then, Chris???? :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Beer-man]

I got my copy today and are very happy.......It was worth the wait. From the instant that I heard Because of You, It has made it onto the list of Lovey Dovey songs and will play first after the bridal waltz at our wedding.....Should get me nicley in the mood for some Bat out of Hell later in the night :P

[rockfenris2005]

I got my copy on Tues. (Sept 30, am I right). The album, ALONE, is a treasure - but the BONUS CD?? Absolutely regal!!!! Eight years of waiting has paid off - congratulations Fireball

[ChrisBelfast]

I love LYOL live, its sounds great. LIAL is also really good, i like that version its different as regards the Live around the world version. I think Tear me down sounds awesome too. CHSIB has such a cool intro!!!
Unfortunately there is no indication where the tracks were recorded though. I wouldnt be surprised though if these tracks make up the extras on Meats next single release.

[Shane]

I haven't got mine yet, hopefully I will soon though. It makes me happier to read the great comments about it.

Perhaps people who went to the concerts where it was recorded will recognise the live tracks.

[DazLoaf01]

Got my Aus copy today from Play.com...

The album itself is fantastic! I couldn't be more pleased! I can't believe it's taken me this long to hear it...!!!

As for the bonus live CD... this is going to sound really wierd, but I've been trying for the past 2 hours to open up the case to access the second CD, though there's one little plastic nodule keeping it clamped down towoards the left of it. There are no other little nodules holding it down apart from the one, and I feer that the case would break if I tried to force open it :-(

This really is rediculous! I can't believe I'm being stopped by one stupid piece of plastic.... :x

I may seriously have to get a mini drill from Dad's workshop to cut away the plastic nodule. Please tell me if you've also had similar problems!

[sherrie87]

Sheesh, I'm having flashbacks to when I ordered CHSIB as an import from the UK- everyone was going on about how good it was as I was practially stalking my mailman during the two weeks it took to arrive in the States! :P The version of Lemon on Live Around the World is a real favorite of mine, so now I'm looking forward to hearing the Aussie live CD even more! Only about 3 1/2 more weeks post time to go! 8O

[MBrevard]

Sherrie--did you say that you're getting your copy from Chaos Music?? That's where I ordered mine and two days ago, I received an email from them saying that they had not yet gotten the CD from their suppliers and were apologizing for the delay. Anybody else get theirs from this source and receive the same email?? :?

I was just wondering what was going on?? Guess I'd better check with them, but I thought I'd double-check with you first, Sherrie, to see if that's where yours was coming from.

Love,
MB

[Shane]

Wooo hoo! I got my Australian copy today too.

As with all new cds I buy, I have trouble getting it out of the case the first few times. I have found that if I press down on the centre part that fits through the hole in the cd while simultaneously lifting, twisting and turning the cd, I can get it out.

I ordered from http://www.sanity.com.au and got it about 10 days after it was dispatched from them.

If anyone recognises exactly which concert the songs came from, please say which one! I am not sure who was in the band at the time these were performed.

[sherrie87]

Hi MB-

Yes, I ordered mine from Chaos music too. I got an email from them last week saying they had not received it from their supplier, then a second about 2 days ago saying that it had shipped. Maybe they got a small amount but didn't have enough to fill the "new" orders. :??: I'm very excited about receiving it, eventually. :lol:

Sherrie

[dukesofhazard]

I ordered mine from HMV Australia - Haven't had any emails from em but my order status says it was shipped on 28th Sept but it still hasn't arrived :twisted: Says it could take up to 15 working days for international shipping on the website so with any luck I'll have it beginning of next week. But I want it NOW!!!! (At least I've had the UK version since its release anyway :D )

I ordered mine from HMV Australia. Mine was shipped like yours on 28th September and it arrived today. So perhaps tomorrow for yours? Anyway the bonus live CD is well worth the wait

[dukesofhazard]

WOOOOO HOOOOOOO!!!! Got mine today! (you were right Puritan :wink: ) Fantastic! 46 Mins of live stuff is great value!

Apparently it took so long cos it got held up in customs - they must've seen what it was & wanted a listen of it! :evil:

[DazLoaf01]

I *finally* got the case open (just a silly bit of plastic that haden't been cut properly) and the live CD is great! 46 minutes as well!

I can't tell you how awesome this album is!!! I can't believe it's taken more than 6 months to get it!!! There are sooooo many potential singles on here, it's amazing!!!

Just thought I'd share my feelings :-)

[Eva]

Today I got my CHSIB album from Australia. :P

Now I can open my own CHSIB store because I have now SIX records:
three different German versions
one from UK
one from USA
one from Australia

Yes MEAT - I will give you all my money!
And the best: I do it with a big smile and from my full heart because you are the BEST!!!!

Love and Keep Rockin'

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
My Aussie CHSIB arrived today, so all you other Americans should not be far behind. I was amazed at how quickly it got here- it was mailed on the 8th and arrived the 14th. That just doesn't seem right, but I'm not complaining! I got it out of my mailbox on my lunchbreak, so I've only had time to listen to "Lemon" on my way back to work- the rest still awaits! Cheer up my American and Canadian friends, your Aussie CD's are no doubt on their way very shortly.


Sherrie

[sherrie87]

I got a chance to listen to most of the live CD (all except Bat- I'm saving that for the drive to work tomorrow AM!) and I have to say it was absolutely worth the cost of importing it from Austrailia. Lemon is absolutely exhilarating, the percussion is so clear- no muddy live tracks here. Tear Me Down is even better than on the album, IMHO. (Why couldn't Testify be on the live CD- that's my only gripe!) Love You Out Loud is positively sultry, it's great to hear it live. Anything for Love- this is the best live version I've heard of this- there is a chuckle in one of the choruses that genuinely makes me weak in the knees! :lol: CHSIB is great, Patti sounds outstanding. It seems the Aussies clearly got the best deal when it came to the bonus disk!

Sherrie

[Puritan]

Sherrie

I agree - wonderful bonus!

It would have been nice to know where the songs were recorded though. It wouldn't have taken much to add the information to the inlay. I am not sure why I want to know that though - I just like to know those sort of things - sad person that I am I suppose I have to have a little moan at something!

It's just the curiousity it you ...... I feel the same way :)

Hopefully it won't be too much longer for me ... I ordered it as an import through Amazon.com here in the US thinking it would be quicker. And I can't believe Sherrie got hers first :roll: Guess I just have to be patient :))

Hi Sherrie !

That's great ... I'm so happy for you :))
According to Amazon.com, it's shipping soon. And once they put it in the mail, it won't take long at all ... so hopefully I should have it sometime next week !!

Vicki

[MBrevard]

Hi! I'm SO excited!! I just received word that my CD was shipped from Chaos Music in Australia on October 10th!!!

Wasn't yours shipped on the 8th, Sherrie?? I think that's what you said. Then, mine should be showing up any time now!!

:bunny: :bunny: :bunny:

Can't wait to hear the new live songs!! 8)

You should be hearing from Amazon, any time now, Vicki, I would imagine!! Don't know why it's taking them this long??!!

Love to all,

I hope you get your's soon too :))

Yes, mine was shipped the 8th and arrived (I think) 5 or 6 days later- yours should be here any moment, MB!

Sherrie :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Vickip]

I finally got my Australian copy of CHSIB today !!!
The live tracks are unbelievable :)) Definitely worth the cost of the CD just for those !!

Definitely makes me want to see him again .. well done Meat !!
Thanks :))

Vicki

[sherrie87]

Vicki,

I'm so glad to hear that you got your Aussie live CD! :lol: Which are your favorite tracks? I think I'm hooked on "Love You Out Loud" and "Anything for Love". I've been listening to in constantly, except for the trip to school with my son in the morning, when we always listen to CHSIB ("number one on the blue Meat Loaf CD" to my son) exactly 2 1/2 times. Did you catch that chuckle early in "Anything for Love"? Absolutely gives me goosebumps! :oops:

Hi Sherrie :))

Thanks !! I can stop listening to it :)) Definitely "Love You Out Loud", "Couldn't Have Said It Better" -- I love the intro, and "Anything For Love". It's just so cool !!

Yes .. I know what you mean about the chuckle :))

Yeah MB, I'm thrilled to hear that yours finally arrived! Yes, please do tell us what you think.

(Does anyone else think the monologue in TMD is a bit slower on this recording? I mean, I know its a tape, but it almost seems like they slowed it down digitally or something- or maybe it's the music behind it that makes it appear so. Opinions?)

Sherrie

[MBrevard]

Hi again! Oh, I can't believe how great the extra live songs are!! I just wish we knew which of the shows they were taken from! He stopped doing Love You Outloud in the middle of the 4 concerts I got to see, so it has to be before that....

My only complaint (and it's minor) is that I would have loved to have had Testify on there, too, since this is CD accompanying the new album! But as I said, that's minor and it wonderful to have Love You OutLoud on this!!! I love both those songs SO much!!!

Sherrie, I can't say whether that section of TMD was slowed down or not, but it did sound different to me. I'll have to go and listen to it again. I couldn't identify WHAT was different, though.

Thank you, Meat!! Please release MORE SoundBoard tapes!!!! :bunny: These are tremendous!!!

Love to all,
MB

[ChrisBelfast]

the male voice from the spoken part of tear me down was missing!

[sherrie87]

Male voice in the spoken part of TMD? Huh? I'm not sure what you are talking about- what does the male voice say?

Sherrie

[ChrisBelfast]

its an echo of the womans voice. It can be heard in the cologne TMD and on the CHSIB cd, he speaks about a second behind the girl saying the same thing, so when shes finished you hear the guy, anyone else no what i mean lol?

[MBrevard]

Hi, Chris! Now, I understand what you're talking about. I was a little confused, as Sherrie was.

You know, that's actually Meat in the background, talking along with the pre-recorded woman's voice.

I didn't notice that that was missing from the live version on the Australian CD. Now, I'll have to go and listen to it again!! (Not that that's a bother or anything!! :roll: :wink: )

Thanks, Chris!!

Love,
MB

[ChrisBelfast]

MB, i know meat talks along during the shows but on the actual cd and also on TMD live cologne (where its at its most noticeable) there is a male voice and it certainly isnt meats. Listen to cologne and get back to me - that aint meats voice

[sherrie87]

Thanks for clarifying Chris, now I know what you're talking about- its the voice that says "it was the biggest state" right before she says "yeah, everything from Texas is big...." I guess I hadn't thought of that at all- maybe it is the absence of that voice that makes it sound so different to me. After seeing the Mexico concert and hearing the Aussie CD I can't listen to the regular CD without hearing (in my head, at least) Meat yell, "You KNOW it was the biggest state!"

Sherrie

[dukesofhazard]

I think that the male voice on the spoken part of Tear Me Down on the album IS actually Meat. I reckon it sounds like him anyway! I got no proof that it is him though :( Maybe Meat Himself would like to shed some light on this :??: :wink:

[MBrevard]

Hi, Chris! Sorry it took me a while to come back here. I relistened to the Cologne show, as you asked and I believe it IS Meat. I've never heard another male voice singing along with the recorded part.

Keep in mind, the radio show was remixed by Kasim, so perhaps, something in that mix makes it sound like it isn't Meat to you?? I don't know. But like Sherrie and DukesofHazard, I do believe it is him!

We do have people here at the forum who were at that show. Maybe one of them will come forward to give us the definitive answer! :wink:

Love,
MB

[ChrisBelfast]

its not someone singing along, its someone (pre-recorded voice) speaking the spoken part about a second behind the girl - its on the cd version too as well as Cologne. LOL this is annoying.

Hi again, Chris! Sorry. Don't mean to be annoying! :roll:

But I guess I don't hear what you're hearing. Maybe someone else will. I still think that maybe it has something to do with the remixing of the songs for the radio concert, but I just don't know. :(

I'm sure someone here will have a better answer to this mystery!!

Sherrie

Im not good at explaining, i think Sherrie summoned it up better

[MBrevard]

Hi again, Chris! Well, I thought I'd help us all out here by putting up part of this song for everyone to hear.

This is the section you're referring to. And I still believe it's Meat talking, but he sounds a little different and that's got to be because of something that was done during the remixing.

Here, have a listen (http://www.conubic.com/real/TMDmiddle.mp3)

What do you think now? And what does everyone else think??

I hope this helps, Chris! :D

I'd say it's Meat with a bit of effects on the recording.
