Seeing that many of us want him to do more shows, I say let's raise some hard cash to get him over here for an all exclusive MLUKFC show! :D

Anyone dare to fill in the form or phone and provide a budget? :D

http://www.grabow.biz/Contemporary/MeatLoaf.htm

doubt this will work since the "biography" only goes up to....
"1995's Welcome to the Neighborhood was another Meat Loaf flop." WTF ???!!!! :evil:

I'd lie for you reached number 2 in the charts!!! Those damn morons from that booking company!

Bril idea MM but doubt very much if it'll work!!

Sapphire Lady

22 Jul 2005, 12:09

That would be a laugh :D

It would be interesting to see how much it would be :))

Caelan

22 Jul 2005, 12:13

sound great..isn't it an option to make a charity of it.:idea: .organised by mlukfc..
think he might come for something like that:D

I'll be there..:-P

or a pokergame:lol:

AndrewG

22 Jul 2005, 12:14

Well you can kinda work out what price range we would be looking at. Liverpool: 4800 people, around £40 a ticket. Subtract venue cost, ticketing company cost......

Great Idea...:D:D

Where we going to be holding this concert lol :lol:

AndrewG

22 Jul 2005, 12:52

In the neighbourhood...

Better still Royal Albert Hall ?
Bit expensive venue, I'm sure we can find something cheaper...

Caelan

22 Jul 2005, 12:55

holland:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

hehe no some where in the UK is fine..don't care where..:D

Caelan

think that would be a fantastic venue...

22 Jul 2005, 16:36

Hmm cheaper option.....hire out a farmers field, open back truck, couple of generators, pitch a couple of tents (for meat and backstage lounge) and about 20 diposable bbq's and were sorted!!!!!!!!!!....ooohh and some crates of alcohol...............the most perfect evening, Meat playing as the sun sets, what do'ya rekon??!!!!............

sound very very good....I'm in for it:D

they did that at Arrow too..only there were more bands playing..

Don't need that ..Only Meat is enough:-P

Leah

22 Jul 2005, 16:43

Hey I think we should really do it!
How many members are there?? maybe all put in a certain amount of money each depending on how many of us there are and submit it to Meat.
We can only try!.........

AndrewG

22 Jul 2005, 16:50

What about a Meat Loaf festival? Lots of tribute bands playing songs from the entire back catalogue (+ jim steinman stuff) and then keeping 2 hours of the gems (Paradise, Bat etc) for main man himself at the climax of the show.

Leah

22 Jul 2005, 16:56

That sounds good! Like a meat loaf convention with an appearance from the main man himself, and maybe something along the lines of storytellers, where we can ask questions too.......

Rebel 1

22 Jul 2005, 17:35

One hour and 45 minutes you know what the man said he's not allowed to play longer, but i'll settle for a 2 hrs BBQ though!!

AndrewG

22 Jul 2005, 17:39

We'll keep those damn insurance people out don't worry.

Leah

22 Jul 2005, 18:46

aaaaaahhh it can be a secret gig!!!!!!!! that only the mlukfc members will know about :D

needmoremeat

22 Jul 2005, 19:33

Sounds like a great idea, peeps! Anyone filled in the form yet?! :lol:

Leah

22 Jul 2005, 20:15

I very nearly filled in the form! But don't think they'd take me seriously as I was gonna put in a budget of £5! :lol: They'd probably ban me from hiring Meat again!!!!!

But seriously folks, if we got our 'heads' together, we could pull off the greatest gig in the world. :D ....Even plan it for a year ahead, what a farewell party it would turn out to be for the fanclub!!!!
Even if we got tribute acts on all night. It would be a fantastic gig!.....and I'm sure Meat may want to say a farewell too?!..........

Hey 'wayne and garth' did it!!!!!!!! (waynes world)......
"If you book them, they will come"..................!

Live For the Now!!!!!!!!!!!! (garth quote!)
Live for the Loaf!!!!!!!!!!!!!( my quote!!!LOL!!!) :lol:

22 Jul 2005, 23:09

That's £5 per person, right?! ;) :lol:

SW31

23 Jul 2005, 01:24

royal albert hall = 60,000 + @£40 =£320,000 over 3 nights £960,000 think it could be just possible would be enormous so lets hope fire ball is looking in to guide us 2 1/2 hour set with 35 mins q & a sech would keep everyone happy if only this could be true im getting goosebumps just imagining it :pray: :pray: :pray: :hic: :hic: :arrow: :cool:

Richie

23 Jul 2005, 12:54

OMG please tell me everyone is seriously thinking about this !!

i will be happy to pay 3x £40 for a loaf convention it would be mind blowing!!!

*gets excited*
:-D

:-D

guess it's a serious thought ...3x 40 and the flight tickets..;)

Tim

23 Jul 2005, 13:47

think it is a good idea. On a central place, near london or something, not the USA haha. A Meat Loaf weekend or day, with Meat Loaf as a guest and doing a little show. I'm willing to pay for that!! And offcourse, no riddicioulus prices to see him or for a meet and great... it is all included. I like the idea, but wonder if it really gonna happen.

Heli

23 Jul 2005, 14:01

What we should all do is organise something...plann everything then use all our connections to advertise it, raise money for it, get travel/accomadation sorted.

If we all put our heads together, surely we can get something done!

Leah

23 Jul 2005, 14:05

I'm with you all on this, surely we can do it, if we really put our minds to it.
I'm willing to pay whatever we have to, it will be so worth it and real teamwork, what other fanclub is willing to 'knuckle' together to do something like this? This is a real community spirit and I'm sure will bring us all the more together.......

leahx

Caelan

25 Jul 2005, 17:49

did anyone fill in the form already? hehe..think it would be a good idea to think of who is doing what..cause I think it's to bad when it only stick with an idea ..

Leah

25 Jul 2005, 20:02

Before we fill in the form, is it an idea to first find out how many members on here are willing to pay for this to happen? even find out how much theyre willing to go up to? Surely we have to cover overheads? Am I barking up the right tree?! do'ya rekon??!!:D
What do you think if the Mods could put a survey or notice to everyone on the home page? asking if they are willing to go ahead with this and be committed to it? (surely we need to know this before we book Meat?!! if not, I'll invite him for tea round my place!!! :D ) and also shall we draw up a list of likely venues/places for this to happen?

Just some ideas here, anybody feel free to add their say so and if they agree with the above?!

Keep Rockin!

Count me in!!! :D Have to put together enough ££££ first, though!! :shock:

Leah

25 Jul 2005, 20:08

Hhhmmmmmm does anyone know how much Meat actually charges for an appearance???!!!.......

Caelan

25 Jul 2005, 20:16

we need his Email hehe:D then we can ask him or a PM but don't know if he reads those..

AndrewG

25 Jul 2005, 20:24

Hhhmmmmmm does anyone know how much Meat actually charges for an appearance???!!!.......

hmm. 50 pence ?
Probably more like 50.000 pounds at least. Worth it though! :D

Leah

25 Jul 2005, 20:58

Don't know meats email (wish I did!!! :lol: ) but I pm'd him a month or so back and requested a reciept to see if he had read it but its still to no avail.
But is their anybody in the know of how to contact him to see how much he charges?

Caelan

26 Jul 2005, 16:25

found several pages for booking Meat but..don't know if that works..

just post all of them i guess..or call them..whished there was an option to arange it without them..just to go directly to the man himself..but don't think thats gonna work..trying to find out how they did that at the rockfestival in Holland;)

Tim

26 Jul 2005, 20:35

maybe it is an idea to make a form, kind of, with all kind of questions, offcourse online. Then you can send it to one particulair person, who is gonna struble with them and comes up with the number of how many people will come or are willing to pay, contribute, etc.

I really would love to help in any kind of way, so let me know hahah.

Caelan

26 Jul 2005, 20:37

Tim

26 Jul 2005, 20:52

Making a form is not that complicated i think. You can send it by email or pm to the members, and send it back to one person. I will do it if you all want hahah.

But do think that the most difficult part is, to book Meat Loaf and a hall for all the fans.

Heli

26 Jul 2005, 21:21

Well if you get into contact with Meat Loafs managment or something...i'm sure he has a manager which will be available to contact on the internet....maybe someone should do some research.....i'll have a nosey round! ^_^!

Cpl Mickey

26 Jul 2005, 21:27

I would certainly be willing to help wiyh anything aswell.I would pay £40-50 to get Meat loaf to a MLUKFC Convention of some sorts. It would be COOOL!!!

Tim

26 Jul 2005, 21:32

I do think we must ask permission from R. and the rest of the bosses... before something is done. I mean, it is his forum so..

Caelan

26 Jul 2005, 21:42

here the question..please .R is it oke with you???????

Tim

26 Jul 2005, 22:51

yeah.. right Caelen... :?

Caelan

27 Jul 2005, 07:44

hehe...no think we have to put up something serious..;)

Leah

27 Jul 2005, 19:38

Hey Guys been doing a bit of a Sherlock Holmes and think I may hear back from Meats' people or him himself!!!!! :pray: :pray: :lol:
I stated it was just an idea at the mo and how much are we looking at for roughly 30 mins spot by him and if its at all likely.

Fingers crossed I get a reply!!!!!!

We HAVE to do this, even if we can't get Meat, it'll be a bombastic night for all us Meat fans!!!

Leahx

Tim

27 Jul 2005, 21:49

That would be great. Curious how this will end.

Caelan

28 Jul 2005, 00:03

Caelan

28 Jul 2005, 18:50

L96

28 Jul 2005, 22:36

If it's any help, we're attempting to get a similar thing off the ground in Australia, and have now been waiting a couple of weeks for a response from manangement.
Good luck with it!

Caelan

28 Jul 2005, 22:47

the band does have a couple of day's off so it may take a little longer maybe..

maybe try again when they are on tour in the USA....

We'll see..;)

Leah

30 Jul 2005, 08:52

still haven't heard anything. GoodLuck for you guys in australia. :pray: Looks like Meat could be busy next year serenading us all privately let alone being on tour! :lol:

Leahx

Tim

30 Jul 2005, 20:06

My god Caelan.. just calm down. As you may know, those kind of things never ever happen in a day or two... Maybe you will never hear again from it, is this thread closed and dissappear in the dungeon next to other threats.

Caelan

Leah

08 Aug 2005, 19:47

Still haven't heard anything yet, Kasim said he would forward my email to 'the proper' person, whether he meant Meat or his management I don't know, that was about 1 and ahalf weeks ago now but still early days I guess.
Everybody still keep those fingers crossed!

Leahx

18 Aug 2005, 01:15

After a lot of mucking about and hearing nothing on the Australian version, we decided to go straight to 10th St Entertainment...
Have yet to do it, but thought you guys might like to know it could be worth a shot.
Good luck!

djfierce

18 Aug 2005, 22:55

Good luck on that, fingers crossed eh! :angst:

Leah

19 Aug 2005, 20:02

Hi guys, does anyone know 10th street's email address by any chance?? It cetainly is worth a chance.
I would love to send another message to kasim but I dont want to come across as a nuissance (which I fear I will). I did email him back to say a big thankyou for him for forwarding on the email. So I suppose its down to Meat or his manager to reply back.

Hmmm, do you think I should email kasim again???? :??:

It sure is dissapointing not hearing anything back, even if it was a straight ahead 'no'!.....................

.........the saga continues!..................... :D

ChloeLee88

26 Aug 2005, 00:47

Leah

02 Sep 2005, 20:36

Hi All, still no news, I emailed 10th street entertainment too but still no reply back.
How about we try to organise a convention/gig with tribute band/s playing and then in the meantime if we hear back from Meats people it will be a bonus?.....
whose up for it??!.........I AM!!!! :D
