Hi guys!
Hmmm just wanted to say that I really love Meat Loaf's music but unfortunately I am not that familiar with him yet, so I hope I'll learn more about him with your help. :D
First lesson: be sure you are everyday on this forum :lol:

of course you will,,im glad 2 c new meat fans,,did you get the new cd,,and how is meats new album being recieved over there
Always hope! Always! :)
So long as you don't forget the location of the Post Reply button (I swear it moves every time I wanna post).
Advised listening :
Bat Out Of Hell
Bat Out Of Hell 2 : Back Into Hell
Welcome To The Neighbourhood
and the new: Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself
Although there are many you or I could suggest to many the disagreement, but I think they are the staple diet of my if not other peoples Meat Loaf appetite. Although maybe you could try the Very Best of Meat Loaf... but that misses some goooood songs!
You didn't ask this question, but ever eager to please I spotted you didn't know much about him. Get these 4 albums, then whatever else you can find with new songs (there are listing on this site somewhere).... and I recommend "To Hell And Back" the official Meat Loaf autobio! :)
Have fun!
We have a chat every Sunday at 9pm GMT if you can join us. The link is on the homepage of here :)

Thank you all for the help! :D Erm, I had the Best Of double cd and liked the songs, and I've seen Meat perform live once at the Nokia Night Of The Proms in Cologne. :wink: I'm trying to catch up on his songs now, and my Sweetheart was so kind to get me lots of Meat's cds copied and there's really some favs that I have now. :wink: The only prob is I cannot visit this site all that often, but I'm trying my best! Thanks again! :D

I think you should listen first time "For Crying Out Loud". I know it's lot but this is the most fantastic song of soft music!!!

Prepare to be shocked but i havnt heard any of the new songs yet! Everytime they are on i miss them by about 3 minutes! I will have to get the album ASAP. But yeah like guppie said Listen to Bat 1, 2 and Neighbourhood. In fact listen to any album you can. I'd also advise Dead Ringer aswel.
yeah... I liked Deadringer too!
I hope you'll be able to buy CHSIB soon, it's great, you're in for a big surprise. :) It's one of his best, really it is!

Just hang in there untill you can buy your CD. Release date in Holland was March 31st but I wasn't able to buy it on that date, had to wait a few more dates...

Offcourse Dead Ringer also. And Bad Attitude.

I hope your not counting me in that Newbie list! I'm a Life Long Meat Loaf Fan :D
There are so many new members, the last week alone........!!!
But are they all long time fans or just really newbies......just heard the music of Meat Loaf for the first time???
Very curious, cause otherwise they would have found this forum a long time before the latest album release....... Or am i wrong?

And their problems that canged same picture from avatar? Sometimes I don't know who is the red-eyed hoody man...

:twisted: Hi Tim.
I think it's a combination of people rediscovering Meat or hearing him for the first time.
Also I think that there will be many long time fans who are discovering the internet for the first time.
Are there any new silver surfers out there?
yeah, but still don't get it....
Why now.......... ??? I mean, i can't see the trees through the wood.....or how you say that in English........

I'm a long time fan of Meat Loaf. Been a fan pretty much all my life. I've looked at this site a couple of times but never actually registered at the forums.

:twisted: I think that the ammount of promo going on at the moment is generating and rekindling a lot of interest.
Well sorry, Flying Mouse, think this album, even as Bat 2, is underpromoted!!
So that can't be it!

:twisted: Hi Tim.
I understand what you mean.
If we knew what countries new members live in and when they joined we could make a better guess as to what promo they have seen.
In the UK the national lottery has a lot of viewers,so that alone could boost the membership.
Only other way is to have a start a topic asking people how long they have been a fan and how they found MLUKFC :idea: .

The problem is the type of Music Meat Sings doesnt get promoted much at all. Rock Music isn't promoted enough now its all crappy repetative Pop Music like S Club (URGH) and Kylie Minogue and stuff that lasts for about 2 weeks.

I wouldn't worry - I think the promo is really kicking in now. Loads of people have said to me that they have seen the new video, or an advert or something. A colleague at work said he saw the single advertised on tv last night, and my dad says Woolies have an advert in store for the new album, release date 28th April!!!. Meat is gonna hit it big again, and the Uk will see HE IS BACK!!

The same thing is happening here in Holland. The word is out and most people love the single.
A few days ago I was on a train and overheard people talking about CHSIB and that they thought it was a very good song. Ofcourse when I heard that I had to talk to them. That was very nice.

:twisted: That's right.It's been a slow build up but things are really hotting up :D .
I think it was last week (or maybe the week before) Carol went to the shop and when she got back she told me that she heard CHSIB coming from a car radio.
we're off and running :twisted: .

I really hope he does well with this. Im sick of people saying "Meat Loafs old"

Tss... Meat'll NEVER be old!
I live in a small village in Holland, I know the owner of the local record store well, so I told him to play CHSIB a lot, which he did. He sold many copies and he himself thinks Meat rocks.
I refuse to accept Meat getting not enough attention over here. Mailed 3 radio-shows again today...

What? Bat 2 underpromoted. You are funny, Tim. There was a mass marketingcampaign back in 93 which have started in the early nineties. I think it is one of the biggest marketingcampaigns ever for a record. They did so much research and everything you won't believe it. For a year or 2, 3 a whole team of marketmakers were trying to put the album in the market.
In Holland there were commercials on television for the ablum, so many: "Meat Loaf is back....back into hell....out now!!
The marketing of this album is different but i have to say the strategy is good and not so expensive as the bat 2 campaign.
Hi Bart,
Good day to ya!
I must say over here the marketing for CHSIB is pretty well low key - I'm sure that'll change once we can actually buy the album - then hopefully the promotion will take off with - I know we have Tv Radio etc appearances but there not really what you would call mass audience programmes, hopefully though the best is yet to come :)
