Just realised what Meat said here - poster ads in the UK from Monday? Publicity?

AWESOME!!!!

Poster ads from Monday? It's hard enough waiting til April as it is!!!!!!!!

Any chance some tour dates can be announced too so I can make sure I can get the time off work? ;)

I'm guessing there's going to be a TV ad done for the album too? I hope so it will spread the message across faster and to more people.

wise words
 

Meat, you have packed a lot into this post. After reading it several times I finally just saved it to my desktop. What you've said here is very inspirational, and I'm taking your message(s) to heart.

As always,
Kathy

Wow Meat, that is so true. But that is really exciting about that Billboard on Monday. "The New Adventure Begins". I like it, that sums it up perfectly!!!!!

Carole

Are you reading Hsing Yun?

Almost sounds like Micheal Jackson:lol:

It's Sunday now, and this thread has turned into a religious ceremony by the sounds of it :boohoo:

The Gospel according to Meat Loaf. Let us pray :pray:

I'm listening to the great Mahalia Jackson right now. More divine than any sermon I've read on this forum so far. :-P

meat would not know the answer? as he had nothing to do with the release

I never talked about religion, if someone needs some go to church - no offend meant :)

And no religion, or indeed any, holds exclusive rights to decent principles of fairness, openness, truth, development, and moving forward with hope and a positive outlook .. you don't need to go to, or be of a church to find or follow them. But they tend to be needed more often than they're practised -and no offence meant also ;)

Caryl

She was my 1st inspiration and still is.

You can tell - I got her "Essential" 2CD after hearing you talk about her, and she is awesome. She really owns those songs.

I'm Prayin' Dude !!!

since it seems to me the topic's gone off ... i want to announce one of my new year's resolves this year is NOT to use the phrase "no offence meant" ... but to use ... "take offence if you must" ... ;) ...

lol .. or "if you choose?" .. ;)

Caryl

:up: Even on an old, crackling vinyl record her voice sounds amazing - one of the most passionate singers I've ever heard.

Back to topic: That tweet about the group on Facebook... Does that group have the same purpose as that group that made an old Rage Against the Machine song climb to the top of the charts last year? That would be cool. :twisted:

aww did i start another war...:lol: your prayers will be answered Meat

isn't it funny how things get twisted?
is no war just that people don't see the difference between philosophy and religion :lol:
anyway back to topic.
oh just let me say, these old cracking vinyls sounds great. i like the feeling to listen to some music this way - not that extrem clean stuff. it makes old songs special :)

That scenery was beautiful ... I love snow, as long as I don't have to travel in it :wink: I can't wait to hear more about the presentation in Oslo :))

You wouldn't say that if you had to live in certain parts of Scandinavia right now. :twisted:

Nope! We´ve had snow here in Denmark since December! Im really fed up with it!!

Meat surrounds himself with some attractive women!

Yes, I noticed that, too. The Universal ladies are really good-looking. If I was a guy, I'd apply for a job at Universal. :))

Know I should have went into the music industry! lol

I know how you feel ... we've already had 3 big snow storms (two in one week), and there's a chance for more snow later this week :shock:
I like snow, as long as I don't have to shovel or drive in it :-)

It's not too late for that yet. ;)

Tell me bout it :P :P :P

heyy Meat, are any of em single and looking for a nice kind, caring, loving guy who also has a passion for music/theatre? :P haha

Its worth a shot...

Oops, just realised I sound like a plonka - thats me, always up for a laugh haha

Ross,
I can't believe you posted that :lmao: !!!

I know what am I like? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha :lol:

Its true, am now single, mi ex didn't wanna go out with me cos I love acting and I did dame in panto and she never liked that... so what, I dressed as a women for it... hey its onli a job and a bit o fun... she never saw it lol.

Well if she left you for that then that's a pretty lame excuse. If you love someone you should support them... Ok Ross we have officially gone off topic :lmao: !!!

Happy Wednesday meatie peeps !
 

OK Tink.... DO you fancy going out sometime? :lol: .... PM me if you fancy ;-) hehe

Damn it ED get him more promotion! Cracked me up.

The Truman Show!

Meat did that to Ed while I was there as well, but Meat thought the guy with the camera was taking a picture, but the guy were filming, so I guess they had to shoot it again.

I wish Meat had made a film during the presentation. That could have been fun :-) But at least he mentioned the 10 contest winners :-P

Any idea what Meat's doing at Playstation.com as he mentioned in the billboard tweet?

Will PS3 owners such as myself be able to download any Hang Cool Teddy Bear stuff from them? That would be pretty sweet.

Thanks for the explanation about the artwork Meat :))

Hah, I was right about the Capitol Records building. My eyes aren't as bad as I thought...

Yep :))

That's how Meat started the "pitch" on Friday.

Would be great if one day the whole pitch could appear on youtube so every fan can see Meat's enthusiasm for the album. How about it Meat?

an idea: include it on the bonus dvd! :sneaky:

Thanks for the explanation about the artwork Meat, looking forward to your tweets from Oz. Safe travels to you.

Carole

Yes .... that's an excellent idea Andy :))

Meat's latest tweet:
HOLY SHIT! While looking for Meat I found NEMO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suzieq

It was great to see a tweet from Oz. It's great to have Meat home again, it's been a while!!!!!

Carole

The video looks like it's gonna be great, I can't wait!

So do you remember when you fell in love with Meat's albums/music? I am pretty confident that I have witnessed Meat falling in love with Hang Cool Teddy Bear through his promo tweets and interviews. And has Meat become a fan of "Meat Loaf" the same way we've seen him for years now? See Meat, we were right all along...you are fantastic.

I couldn't have said it better myself Suzieq :-)

Time to dig up this thread again... Liked the way Meat talked about volcanos in his latest video, I think he would make a good teacher. :))

I absolutely agree Sarge :))

Didn't Meat say in an interview once that if he hadn't been a rockstar or actor he'd have been a teacher? I know he coached little league softball (or baseball or whatever it is you Americans call rounders :p) ) in years gone by so he's clearly got a "way" with kids.

It was softball :-)

And I remember that interview too Andy .. Meat said he would have been a History Teacher and Football coach :))

yeah that was my first thought when i saw it, i could 'see' that vulcano as he described it :D

Good call :up: !

It looks like I can't see Meat's latest Twitter-tweet unless I join Facebook. Is that true? I think of Facebook as a giant time-sink and that's why I'm not there; I communicate with my friends other ways :) Maybe I'm the last holdout in the known universe? and maybe beyond, lol?
-Kathy

Kathy,
His latest tweet is only on facebook. He is searching for a long lost friend from Texas and this person was in the service, has moved around and Meat is trying to find said person "on" facebook to be "his friend" (a facebook term).

I think there are several other hold outs not joining Facebook. I've found friends from 30 years ago on Facebook. It has it's time +'s.

Suzieq

Kathy, you're just reasonable. :D I'm not on Facebook and I can see it. So the problem can't be due to not having an account.

awww... come on KathyB ! ... lol ...
 

Thanks for the explanation! I hope his friend is not a holdout too ;)
-Kathy

That's interesting! hmmmmm wonder what I'm doing wrong. well, maybe I'll be able to see the next tweet; I know he's been posting to facebook for a while and this is the first one I can't see. thanks :)
-Kathy

lol tink, re: you thought I was on there already; that just shows how talkative I am ;) Well, a couple more Meat tweets I can't see and I'll probably cave :)
-Kathy

Kathy,
I tried moving the tweet to my twitter screen name. Sign on to twitter and look for my tweet, try to access it from there.

Suzieq

It worked! Thank you so much :) and aww, I hope he finds his friend :)
-Kathy

Glad to help!!! I hope so too!

suzieq

Thanks for the latest (6) tweet pics Meat.

After a hectic week...I had zero time to comment about all the latest raining twitter/FB vids Meat posted. I figured I'd organize my thoughts and plop them all here instead of trying to play catch up all over the place.

I watched Vol. 15 which gave us titles for three songs: All Of Me, The Giving Tree, and Our Love In Our Souls...with Meat's body language and heavenly rolling eyes teasing/describing the songs, I can't help but to get antsy to hear the album/CD. It was sooooo cool to watch him fall in love with HCTB, and he looks so proud to be able to present another quality album (child #2 perhaps). Equally loved but for different reasons. I wonder what new surprises Meat has in store.

It's looking like Meat has his foot on the throttle with no chance of letting up...HIAHB, CD of Unknown Title (to us/not to him), DVD, and Hot Holidays.. SO AWESOME! Yet, he takes the time out to answer Q&A, pose for pics, sign autographs at shows, and stop by here. It's just something I don't take for granted.

I do wonder if Meat is still approached due to his popularity from Celebrity Apprentice or if things have died down. Because it seemed like in the video he was trying to answer the question about gambling in AC. He said "no", and it looked like he was about to explain why....but took us on a Meat-tangent. I love Meat-tangents by the way, he gives an answer way more than you could ever expect when he does that. Now I just digressed. Anyway, I thought he was going to say, he doesn't go down to gamble because of Celebrity Apprentice. But he turned into a $10 million whore somehow. LOL!

I wondered also, if Meat had made all those phone calls to his friends for operation Hot Holidays. Did they all say "yes"? We'll find out soon enough though. Surely, can't trust the press with accurate information. ;)

A final thought, I had to rewatch Vol 15. several times because I was focused on what he was saying, but when he got to the singing in the shower...I cracked up. Wake Up Little Suzie is now secured and downloaded onto my alarm clock. GREAT STUFF! Something so simple makes me so happy!!!

I say keep the Q&A coming when time permits. I'm going to aim for getting a question answered for volume 19 whenever that should happen. It's my lucky number/soccer jersey number. So, it's a bit special to me.

Suzieq

:up: :up:

My guess would be yes .. and that playing the poker tables has become as tricky as popping into the deli for a bit of low fat cheese ;)

Caryl

When I see Meat remove his reading glasses, I know we're in for something special!:D

:yep:

And of course I forgot to comment on something....vol 13.

One thing: I almost lept off my seat when he described the animation pilot. I asked on FB a while ago if he would consider doing animation...his answer was yeah, if they call I'll be there. And low and behold we hear this news about his pilot animation endeavor. FANTASTIC! SPUD by naptime.....STUD at nighttime. WHoo hoo!

Second thing: Acts 1 and 2 for the 2012. Just PLEASE put Florida on for the leg.....BOOH from start to finish just dropped my jaw. AND for the possibility to hear For Crying Out Loud LIVE.....I'm ecstatic for that alone!!!!!!!!!! Of course, I'm going to be on the hunt for an intimate venue to travel to as well. THEN, perhaps a LIVE CD of the 2012 tour can be squeaked out. I know the tour hasn't happened yet. BUT the setlist is devine already...I won't want that show to EVER end.

So many treats!

Suzieq
