Is there a transcript for that online interview?

[mlvoss]

I think transcript was the right word to use, anyway is there a place online where I can go to read the whole meat loaf interview? (The new one with the bat3 info)

My speakers dont go, or can somebody that has abit of time on there hands write it out for all the people who can not get to hear it for one reason or another. :)

:twisted: I'm working on a transcript now.
If it's allowed,i'll post it here.
However,please bear with me,it will take a while to get it done.Sometimes Meat and the interviewer interupt each other,so it's sometimes difficult to hear acuratly what is said.Usually,that wouldn't be a problem,but,on this particular interview,there is no way to spool back a few seconds.If you want to hear something again,you've got to start the interview again from the begining :cry: .
I'll keep at it though,and i'll post it a.s.a.p. :D

MLVOSS, are you a kiwi? I think I might have seen your profile on ICQ

[mlvoss]

Thanks in advance for all of your hard work THE FLYING MOUSE, I dont see why it would not be allowed to be posted here though.

I cant wait to have a read, I cant wait to read all of it! 8)

Yeah Shane I'm from NZ, I have not used ICQ for awhile though it does not work on my comp for some strange reason. :evil:

Nice too meat you (lol, get it?)

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: Hi all.
I'm sorry that it is taking so long for me to do the transcript.Meat and the interviewer sometimes don't talk very clearly,and as I said on my last post here,if you miss something,you've got to start again from the begining.
I'm about half way through now,so i'll post what I have done,then edit it when I have more.
God.I hope someone finds this useful :lol: .

Right,change of plan.I'll split the interview into parts,and post them as seperate posts.Just in case I delete the whole lot while i'm editing.
If anybody finds any mistakes in the text,let me know and i'll put it right.
P.S. I've just finished Part 1. :D

Is this allowed? This script of the interview?

[R.]

[The Flying Mouse]

:twisted: Timsaid...
Is this allowed?This script of the interview?

I wasn't sure myself if a transcript is allowed :roll: .So I asked when I first posted on this topic,then waited two days to see if there was any objection.As there was none,I started posting the transcript :mrgreen: .
I did not know if I could get myself (or the fan club for that matter) in trouble over any copyright matters.Also,I didn't want to step on Tom's toes,after all,he did post the interview originally.
Anyway,i'll keep at it,and I hope to have the second part done and posted by Monday :D .
