Just catching up on my reading here... I thought Meat and NLE sounded and looked great on Leno! Meat -- Here's to know the next leg of your tour will be as awesome as the 1st leg!

LOTO, is getting airplay all over the US now . Hoping to get it on the mainstream rock charts by Christmas . it's 24 on classic rock chart.

I tell ya, someone needs to book you a show like you did here:

Just jam to HCTB songs with the live environment on TV. bound to kick start something.

I mean getting a full version of LOTO on TV would be killer man ... :shrug:

I can see you doing something like In the neighborhood. Should go something like this:

Hot Patootie
Everything Louder
<Commercial break>
Bat Out Of Hell
<Commercial break>
Peace on Earth
<Commercial break>
Living on the Outside
Los Angeloser
<Commercial break>
If I Cant have You
<Commercial break>
You Took the Words
Boneyard / All Revved Up

congrats Meat! will call the local classic rock station and request it some more!! :)

Good idea, but how many shows like that are broadcasted on TV these days?

That's fantastic news Meat, thanks for letting us know.

Carole

That is great to know. I heard LOTO on Thursday night ESPN college football games here in the US.

Great news Meat!

Excellent !

Yeah, I just think we should extract the information out of the post that Meat has given us. And NOT focus on what you want to (i.e. explicitives for your sensitive eyes and brains). For instance: the song wasn't out of tune....debate over yay! WOH ~ doesn't know what they are talking about....confirmation yay! And the gist that WOH ~ is being a trouble maker. A very informative post from Meat. Just ignore what isn't directed at you.

That's a lot of commercial breaks. :shock:

not for a hour special :shrug:

And that's American tv for you. An hour long show with ads runs about 48 minutes when you watch it on On Demand sans commercials.

Just with a better mike stand. :twisted:

I thought it's about 42 minutes these days?:angry:

I'm a bit behind on things and I've just watched the You Tube video and can I just say one thing? WOW!!!! :)

Kathryn

Meat, Meat, really man you HAVE to calm down when you read stuff on here. If you read the whole thread then you'll see that White of High is pretty much the only person who criticised that performance and everyone else said he was wrong. We've all been annoyed by him stating things as fact that aren't and we've said so in this and other threads. But at the end of day you've really got to stop the name calling, it's really off putting and doesn't make you look good. You can't call someone names for an opinion.

We love you, we support you, we agree with you 99% of the time (as we do in this instance), so there's no need to overreact man. We've got your back on here.

Happy Monday ~ Canadian Thanksgiving ~ Columbus Day ~ Holiday of some sort meaties !
 

Re: length of hour long shows in the States sans commercials:

You may be right, perhaps depending on the show. For my own curiousity sake, I'll check that out later.

And if you've been annoyed by what WoH said .. how much more annoying for the man who gave the great performance .. and who may well have read the other threads but perhaps only has time/inclination to post on one. Meat doesn't "have" to stop imo, and may want to manage his own back.

.. "dead elk" .. :lol:

Caryl

I've worked my ass off for tour and there's no way that the first time I'm seeing these new songs live is via YouTube so I've not watched Leno (or some of the Los Angeloser performances) but it's great to see so much positive feedback yet again, really can't wait to get to the shows!!!! :))

Although, disappointed yet again that so much excitement and good feeling from so many people is completely ignored.

I've edited Meat's post to take out the personal insults...anything further will be discussed by the Mods

:twisted: Good news :up:

It was a great performance. It's tough to pull it off live on TV and I have to say that you did. Don't really understand why anyone would want to be so down on it. I think that the way your doing it will pay off in the end with all the exposure and interviews.
Don't stop

42 minutes sounds exactly correct. All episodes of Lost and 24 run for that time. In the UK we get 1 minute of X Factor and 129 minutes of adverts. :-P

Hey Wario,
On another thread you had suggested a similar thing for VH1...Meat thought it was a good idea then....then asked if you can get that booked, he'd be there. So get cracka' lackin' with the phone calls/emails ;)

Some might argue that's a good thing ;)

Caryl

Very good news, thanks for letting us know, hope that it does get more airplay and exposure. It is a song that deserves to be heard imo.

Fantastic news. Checking out that performance on Leno, it's no wonder. I actually watched it and thought, I wonder what Meat was thinking at the end as he was looking down - before the guitars finished, just before he points in the air. Made me think of the story he told about when he did a song off Bat 1 in 1978 (might have been 2OUTTA3) and there was a brief silence before the crowd went wild. That was when Bat broke, so let's hope this is the start of big things for HCTB.

I checked one of the hour long shows, ads at airtime vs no ads on On Demand and it comes in at 44 minutes.

Whatever the figure, the ratio of content to shite is appalling and is only going to get worse. :shake:

And that's not even taking into account all the 'Coming up' 'Previously' 'Before the break' 'A couple of minutes ago because we think you're retarded' nonsense. I'm convinced some hour long programmes only have about 20 minutes of actual content.

Exactly :up:

Awesome - good luck with the charts. The US seems to have so many! As far as I know we only have the 1 in the UK, or maybe 2 as I think there is a classical chart too perhaps.

Either way, hope it goes well and this helps bring in a whole new audience for you and HCTB!

Oh yea... lol forgot about that! :-P

:D
Hang cool, teddy bear! You will be banned. :D
Can I say my opinion on a forum? I keept it; that was out of tune...

Whe do you come to Hungary for a concert?

An opinion is different , an opinion is I liked it , I didn't like it. That was not an opinion. Had he said I didn't like it . I would have left it alone. That is not what happened.

Stop it it now , that is not an opinion. You are writing something that is not true. I WAS IN TUNE ON EVERY ~~~~ING NOTE .

This forum needs a peace negotiator. :twisted:

which will be me.

MEAT LETS ALL EAT SOME BUTTER FINGERS AND DANCE TO BLIND BEFORE I STOP! WE WILL PAINT THE TOWN BLUE YAYAYAYAAYAYA! :D:D:D:D

(aka: lets bring some joy and move on)

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

You are right ! I say thank you to all for being so Positive. Sorry that only a negative gets a comment. That is wrong of me. I am sorry.
Meat

:yikes: WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! :panic:

this guy is off his rocker. He needs a brain implant.

:)) butterfingures do that

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

I don't agree with his post, too, but do you really have to call him you-know-what? ;)

I don't have too !! tell me why not ? You can't have an opinion about a circle .it is a circle or it's not. A quote I read on these pages all the time " can I not have an opinion". I have opinion. it is that basic. I stand by my opinion. :-)
M

It's a matter of proportionality. He claimed it was out of tune - which one can object to - but he didn't say "Meat Loaf is a stupid §*%!$" or something like that. I'd rather see you threatening to paint people's houses in funny colors than using that kind of language. :-)

To be honest Meat........R and the team try to keep the personal insults off the board as it's against forum rules and as Sarge posted, the vast majority of fans don't like it.

I get it, people didn't like that I said ~~~~ in "like a rose" , but I did . people don't want insults don't insult me. Very child like on my my part . I know. I was on pitch and he just wanted to start trouble. TO get my attention . He did.
M

This is why a tour DVD needs to happen during the UK leg. Leno was just an appetizer.... make me and anyone else who said you were off tempo or pitch eat our words...

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r...arioSmiley.gif

Well Meat, I like it, I think it's hilarious

Carole

I have watched it several times already. I really loved it. You and the band looked great, relaxed, and sounded fantastic. I didn't hear anything off key. Thank you for performing on Leno for the world to see. I just wish that you could do more so we could see you more. I agree with others, DVD of HCTB tour would be perfect.

there should be a poll on this. we need a HCTB tour dvd and blu-ray!!!

A poll? As an option for anyone NOT wanting that? Why? :nuts:
Surely pretty much everyone would want this regardless of opinion on HCTB etc.

Most people on here I'd think would, but surely the decision to release a live DVD of the tour would need to be based on the market beyond here. If that suggested it would sell in sufficient numbers in the right market (ie those who don't have HCTB or aren't going to shows) it would be a way of bringing songs from the album to a wider market's attention ..

But much as I'd love another DVD it surely need more than the numbers here to make it viable, so I don't see what a poll here would achieve

Caryl

Aww he's lovely huh :)) Mr Loaf you just have to stop letting it get to you, otherwise I'll be kicking ass and taking your name on tour! :lol:

Maybe he already HAS an implant, and that is sending him off his rocker???

I have watched this performance a few dozen times. The mix is amazing! Each instrument and each vocal is clear and distinct. You can even hear the tambourine. I can't think of 2 singers in music today that sound better together than Meat & Patti. "The Tonight Show" arrangement was much better than the concert version. I Loved it!!

I forgot to mention that Meat looks very handsome and fit. The guys are cute too. As for Patti, she gets prettier every year. She needs to share her beauty secrets.

Why not?? there are so many other polls for crazy shit why not one for this.:roll:

well I guess it wouldn't achieve a damn thing.

I enjoyed the performance and did Patti rock that Tambourine!!!

How funny ! For some reason, I noticed, too, that she was really beating the stuffins' out that thang... lol ... It made me wonder how she does that without hurting hand, or does she ? ... :shock: ... At anyrate, it was all very cool ... :D ...

I guess if she can do it for two hours at a show then 4 minutes on Leno is no trouble ;)

Well....he did say you were "off tune". Perhaps he just needs an "ear" transplant to start. If that doesn't work......we can go with the entire brain. :)

GO RAYS!!!!

She might end up with some form of repetitive strain injury by the time she retires! :twisted:

Hey, it takes a lot to stop and say "I was wrong. I am sorry", even to someone else, when you're pissed off by something. Kudos Meat for doing so.

Can't help but see Meat's point about the opinion thing though guys. It's like saying "it's not October". Fine to say "I don't like October" but the former is undeniable. We all heard Meat in tune and on fire but that one factually incorrect comment was enough to piss me off when I read it, and it wasn't even about me. We love the passion Meat puts into his music - can't really be surprised when he's passionate about stuff when he's not singing.

That was probably one of, if not the most important TV gigs Meat has had in 5 years. Leno said it best when he said "welcome back buddy, nice job".

well, what Meat said was not too bad to be fair? but i guess you cant have insults either? then again i was called worse in my day!! a few times on this site infact.

It has been edited from what it said originally said, which you may or may not have seen. White Of High DID post an opinion, just because that opinion wasn't glowing with roses, doesn't make it any less valid or a source for outbursts of anger.

Back on topic please or it'll be the same old argument again.

Was Leno the last show Meat is doing to promote HCTB in the states?

True. Start one and I'll vote. :up:

Hes gonna be on ghost hunters :shrug:

but i doubt hell do LOTO in the middle of that show.

Maybe he'll sing it to scare away the ghost!!! haha

Carole

Only if the ghost had no taste! ;)
:lmao:

Wait?!
People didn't like a measly curse word in a song? Seriously?

To me, that's being a bit anal.

I think there is a difference between the F word being used as a curse word and it being used to describe sex. That's my opinion anyway.

The F words the F word.

Musically it works. If it said "Screw you when your low" then it wouldn't have that pizazz

For once, I agree with WL.

Me too

Yeah, I agree too.

Carole

Personally I love the fact that Meat finally dropped the F-bomb in a song but it's the song it's self I don't like.

Musically it works? Pizazz? is the lamest excuse ever to go beyond the acceptable boundaries of what we've come to expect from Meat Loaf lyics. I absolutely don't have any problem with singers swearing and telling about girls who ~~~~ you but don't give me this crap. I expect this from Eminem. I don't expect this from Meat Loaf. It's downright embarrassing in my opinion. :roll: In my opinion Meat Loaf surrounded himself with the wrong song writers for this one. He doesn't need to resort to those kind of lyrics to make his music work. If he keeps doing that I'm off for sure. Meat Loaf used to offer a "safe" rock n roll environment, with indeed sexual innuendoes all over the place but not songs about girls ~~~~ing you and how big your dick is. Take those innuendoes out and change lyric style to be more direct and different is bound to alienate fans. The innuendoes I find clever and often poetic, the ~~~~ing and dicks I find rather dumb.

In my opinion it was an unnecessary attempt to shock.

I don't understand why people are so offended by it!!:roll: if you don't like the cussing or in my case the song it's self just skip the damn thing and move on. and if you cuss but it's wrong for Meat to do so in a harmless song than you are very much contradicting yourself. I guess it takes an open mind to accept his new style and the cussing in the songs, and I'm sure by saying this I'll probably offend someone "sorry if it does" I'm not changing the way I think about this situation. and to say you're going to stop being a fan if he keeps recording songs with cussing in them is absolutely ludicrous!! I guess he should play it safe to keep a few fans happy:barf:

the rant is over now I can be ripped to shreds and laugh about it later.:lol:

It's not the first time Meat has sworn in a song. How about the line "you can shove it up your arse" in Lemon? You really need to lighten up and not take it all so seriously. It's no big deal.

Carole

That's the trouble, everybody can say (or write) "fück" and "dick". It's nothing special, it's almost as uninspired and lazy as using a lot of "lalala" and "nanana" for lyrics.

Gone wayyyyyyy off topic again

Think there's nothing more to add to the Leno topic now

:lock:
