Just wondering if anyone had seen the video for MOS?? Interested what it was like that all!

I was really really dissapointed to see the blatently low quality of the single. 2 live versions are not enough to make people buy it even if £1.99 is unusually cheap! where were the b-sdies/vids/pictures etc?? Then again, COSIBM single was great but that did badly

We really should have a screening for new members so we don't get idiots like this...

Right, if you actually read the news then you'd know there IS NO VIDEO and it might not be the best single from the album, but its still a million times better than the shit thats out there.

And the live tracks rule...

Be ~~~~ing thankfull there is a single at all... its very rare we get anything like this... two singles in 1 year... last time we had anything like this was 1995... 8 years ago...

If you're going to moan, then please make valid points!

Maybe we should have a screening for manners and respect for others too!

As other people have mentioned there is no known video for the Man Of Steel single. An advert did appear in some areas in the Mail On Sunday and Meat Loaf was booked to sing it on Children In Need last Friday but due to his recent illness this had to be cancelled. Flyers were also left on seats at the UK concerts which were played.

If you do have any questions, you can always use the search facility (top right) before posting something that may have been already answered.

cool man, get yourself on top of the pops next week... :lol:

I remember with CHSIB the single emailing kasim informing him of the midweek position of 39 and it entered the chart at 31... lets hope for the same...

Sue... maybe so, but my posts are well liked by people here, i have an inbox to prove it

where were the b-sdies/vids/pictures etc??

On my copies the two "B" tracks immediately follow the main track and include the great Love You Out Loud .. the poster is innovative and will have given many fans real pleasure, and I was not expecting a video for the reasons Meat had given ..

For £1.99 I'd say this was blatantly excellent quality!!! Great news re its mid-week position :) It's a great shame that Meat hasn't been able to be out and about promoting it .. but it makes a cracking Christmas card or small gift .. there's a lot we can do to help :)

did the label go with its original idea of using pix of fans for the cover/ poster?... i'm curious...

congrats to Meat for chart placement...XO

great news number 19 mid week lets hope it stays there or gets higher!

no need to be so rude. this is a public forum where people have every right to excersise free speech.
what annoys me though is that some people (a very small minority) are so narrow minded that they cannot see past the end of their own nose and the slightest critisism, no matter how valid, can only be retaliated with abuse as contradicting the points is not possible.

Personally I love the song and have bought the single but I am still entitled to belive that compared to his last few offerings this single offered nothing new to me thats all!

ICWUKE - I have been a member longer than you and read the forum daily. :wink:

Kev

ICWUKE - I have been a member longer than you and read the forum daily. :wink:

No, I read the forum when I can be bothered because its mainly rubbish posted or people agreeing with other peoples posts with one line or two.

And granted, you've been a member longer, but i'm sure i've been reading longer. It took me a long time before i saw anything of interest to make me want to sign up and reply.

I agree that 19 is great news, but lets remember this is only mid week. CHSIB the album was number 1 at one point druning the mid weeks and ended up at a fantastic number 4. Whereas the single was number 39 and ended up a (slightly disapointing) number 31.

This really could go either way and I'm worried that we've all gone out and bought it in the first few days getting it to a 19 high and it will drop back down. But then again, it could go higher... which would be fantastic.

Hopefully I helped out a little this morning. I wasted £99.50 of my student loan on 50 copies of the single and handed them out free in the shopping centre here. Quite pleased of myself now :) Spend my £100 well mr loaf!!!

Glad that you're better.

I've just watched it and its really obsessive...

i only have 2 questions...

WHY THE HELL WASN'T THIS DONE SOONER??

and

WHY THE HELL HAS IT NOT BEEN PUT ON TV?

there is STILL time for this to get better...

krolok
28 Nov 2003, 20:10
at the main page of the site you can choose the language.

You can choose between english and german.

I like the Video its something different, but its more nicer to see Meat in person in the videos !

You can't see the video in the english section.
Only in the german section.

I know that i can be an asshole..... but you :twisted:

If you haven't noticed, the forums are so crowded, full of members who post double or triple double posts....
There ain't no way to look at everything, specially not with a 56k6 modem like me, so.... don't be so hard for some others.

My comments were valid... and check my other post before you moan at me... I don't see anyone else promoting the single in such a way and getting shit for it...

Now, try stop living on this forum and go play in the real world... okay?

Thanks to anyone who can help.

When you enter community you have to register.
Then you can watch the vid if yoou have realone player.

It is quit unexpected, have only watched it once, not sure yet what i think off it, I watch it on my laptop, going to watch it again on my pc tomorrow....

I don't like the video at all. Perhaps I am to old for Mangas :? But I'm definatly absolutly NOT to old to ROCK :lol:
In my opinion the video has nothing to do with the song.
Don't misunderstand me: I like the song very much, but not the video
Iwill soon own the english single (thru Eva at the german board, Thanks Eva :P ) and will also buy the single in Germany to get Meat into the charts.

Kev
29 Nov 2003, 01:29
yeah, but come on, be honest, any video is better than no video... this video would have done well over here cos menga is 'in' and with it being a cartoon the kids would love it.

TimboTambo
29 Nov 2003, 02:20
actualyl even thought its very very VERY different i think the video is excellent and makes an interesting change. it actually does have a lot to do with the song just not the singer!!

a point of note, i may have got abuse from certain other members for asking about the vid, but the intelligent people who visit this board actually helped me and because of us everyone got to see the video! result!

ICWUKE - THOUGHT YOU SAID THERE WAS NO VIDEO? COME ON APLOGISE, I KNOW U CAN DO IT ! :P

solutions not problems people. :lol:

CarylB
29 Nov 2003, 02:33
Timnoble, I'm not sure who the "people" who "abused" you are? I saw only one.

You said of the UK release, where were the b-sdies/vids/pictures etc?? I said that on my copies the two "B" tracks immediately follow the main track and include the great Love You Out Loud .. the poster is innovative and will have given many fans real pleasure, and I was not expecting a video for the reasons Meat had given .. f
I also said that For £1.99 I'd say this was blatantly excellent quality!!!

I stand by that and do not consider there is a word of "abuse" contained therein, and the video to which you've been directed has not been released with the UK single.[/quote]

Dave
29 Nov 2003, 04:21
You can't see the video in the english section.

I could not agree with you more on this! To me, this all is very much about the whole of the song -not central to just the singer. The video is an amazing piece of work, as it forces you to not focus so much on who is singing the song, but rather what emotions and story is being told.

ROCK ON AWESOME VIDEOS!!!

Here in the UK, there is no video, that is for the German release and at my time of posting there was no video at all... in my view, there still in no video because it's not on our screens on the music stations...

Man Of Steel was released without a video... fact...

29 Nov 2003, 10:40
ok, I do agree: hopefully this video will attract the younger and they will buy the single.

TimboTambo
29 Nov 2003, 13:38
b-sides = this means song on the single that have never been released by the artist before. songs that didnt make it onto an album. live versions arnt classed as a b-sides because those are not unrelased songs.

one thing i dont understand then - if the single gets into the top 40 and on the music stations they show clips from the video when doing a chart rundown, what exactly will they show if they dont show the cartoon thingy???

Kev
29 Nov 2003, 14:08
i dunno, i'm watching CD:UK whis does a top 20 run down of the sales positions so far and i'll let you know what happens...

Maybe a cartoon video has been rushed out because its going to make the charts and maybe his gay record company in the UK thought it wouldn't.

This should be handed out to the music video channels so more people see it.

I'll let you know if they list it in the top 20 today

I like the vid for Man of Steel. Nice to see something different done on a Meat Vid & I think it could get some young 'uns into the song. It's just a shame that its for the German release rather than the UK one & its probably too late for us to use it for promotion here (unless its used on top of the pops or something).

Hope they put the vid on the German single as it may be worth getting for that (Realtime doesn't play too well on my PC).

i agree Tim... i've never had any problem understanding your English... and though i must wag a finger at you for lowering yourself to that name calling business.... that SURELY came through loud and clear... :lmao:

at any rate...back to topic...yes...i agree that the toon vid is a good idea to get the younger generation to sit up to take a look and then a listen...

personally...altho i know it's a great expense as Meat explained...i would prefer to see Meat in a vid for the song.... that's just my girlie thang... :oops:

but then...i can create all the vids i want in my mind..at no expense at all... :lol:

look forward to hearing feedback about the response to the vid....

You're welcome :) It's animated ... a love story between two people, with the song playing in the background. You don't see Meat at all .. which is very different for him ... but I think it conveys the emotion of the song :)

The closest I get to understanding German is being able to understand French, with France being near to Germany...

angel eyes
04 Dec 2003, 04:56
Luke - I had problems at first - but then I received 2 e mails (both in German) and the password was at the bottom of the second one. In the mean time I had sent an e mail to the site where it said if you have problems logging on etc. and I received another e mail in English with the password. The newletter received was in German though.

Hope this helps :?
