MEAT ON SUNRISE!!!!!!
 

Just some info I have for any Aussies out there, Meat will be on Sunrise tomorrow morning. An interview with Molly Meldrum. Still waiting to see when he will be on the Today Show. Not sure what other shows he will be on while he's here, but if I find out I'll let you know.

Carole

How exciting for you :-) Enjoy and tell us all about it!

Caryl

Good looking out Carole. Keep us posted.

Excellent !! Enjoy it :))

Thanks everyone, I will.

Carole

am I right in assuming this is some kind of breakfast-show?

Well it's hardly going to be a night time talk show with that title is it? ;-)

Hopefully they'll show a clip of Meat's interview :-)

Yes that's right it's a breakfast show similar to the US shows Good Morning America and their Today Show.

Carole

Thanks Carole. Has it been on yet :??:
Sorry but the time difference really confuses the heck out of me.
Vicki

Great Carole, also hope can you get a ticket to any of the shows he might do:D

I am going into work late tomorrow so I can see Sunrise, I'll be leaving for work as soon as Meat is done

No Vicki it hasn't been on yet, it's about 7 hours away now. I know what you mean about the time difference, it is confusing.

Carole

Thanks, I hope so too.

Carole

Oh ok .. thanks :))
Enjoy it !!

An interview with Ian Cuthbertson posted on this review now:

Mm.. I'm just a white boy! LoL

Great interview. He looks well up for it :lol:

Ok just found out he's on The Today Show today as well. I'm going to be doing some juggling between the 2 shows today.

Carole

Sorry but the time differences really confuse me .. :lol:

Has Meat been on the show yet :??:
And if so, can anyone tell us about the interview, or post a video clip :??:

Thanks !

Thanks Caryl and tink, what a great interview. Meat is so funny. Welcome to Australia Meat, I hope they are being kind to you and the sun is shining.

Carole

Excellent ! Thanks for the update Carole :))
Enjoy them.

No worries Vicki. Sunrise just said he's on next hour, not sure about the Today Show.

Carole

Ok great. Thanks Carole :-)

Well he was on a little while ago, trying to juggle everything today, switching between channels and getting ready for work. He looked wonderful and talked about the new album, gave the story about the man seeing his life flash forward and how he thinks he's in the dirt, but is actually in hospital. Molly raved about it and said it was a fantastic album. Meat said he felt like he'd been in the Arctic of the record industry and had just melted and is now unleashed. Still waiting for the Today show to have him on, and have to leave for work in a few minutes so hope he's on soon.

Carole

Thanks for the update Carole ... I'm so glad you got to see him :))

The video is up on the Today website :

Look under Latest News videos : Meatloaf is back !

Cheers Carole and Vicky, just watched that video, now waiting for the Sunrise interview

The sunrise interview

Look down the bottom, the Meat vid is called Molly meets Meat Loaf

Thanks Mel .. you beat me to it :))

Thanks Mel .. and it's a tribute to Molly that Meat seems so really relaxed and enjoying this interview :-)

And what an endorsement of the album from Molly too!! :D

Caryl

its true, everybody thats heard it? seems to love, well done meat:D

Thank you Carole and Melon for posting those interviews. I've read and watched, laughed and listened. Great interviews along with great support. I'm grinning ear to ear for Meat.

Suzieq

No worries Suzie. Thanks Vicki and Mel for posting the links, it saved me the trouble. I'm hopeless at these things. And it is great how everyone who's heard this album really loves it.

Carole

Oh and a little bit of trivia for anyone who's interested. Where Richard Wilkins was interviewing him from, Burleigh Heads, is near where I live. I was so hoping Meat was coming up here to be live on the show, I would have been there!!!!!! So now he's in Melbourne, wonder if he's on any shows from there.

Carole

thanks for posting those interviews. its great to see him that excited about the new album.

Thanks, interesting to watch! I think the female presenter on Sunrise (sorry didn't catch her name) was being a bit over generous when she told Molly it was a "great interview", but it's always good to see Meat Loaf on TV.

Molly is really experienced with musical interviewing, he's the "Music guru" over here, he's been doing this stuff for a very long time.

Yep, he's been doing it since my school days in the early 70's. Meat's on a couple more shows over here tomorrow. The Circle on Channel 10 at 10am and the 7PM Project on Channel 10 at you guessed it 7pm tomorrow night.

Carole

Thanks Carole :-)

You're very welcome Carole .. I was happy to help :))
Thank GOD for the internet :lol:

It really is great how everyone loves the album ... Meat must be extremely proud :-)

Yeah he must Vicki, and he has every reason to be.

Carole

Thanks for the links to the video clips everyone. :)

What a shock.. I was expecting "Molly" to be some young attractive woman, and then she turned out o be a "he".. LOL
I loved what Molly thought of the album, though. :))

J. xo

Well it is Australia, better not to ask too many questions ;)

I can't find the Molly interview - I keep getting stuck with the Wiggles!

One could say the same about New Zealand.......

welcome back old enemy!!:D

Ha ha Jeanie, I didn't even think of that, we're so used to him, he's been around forever. His real name is Ian, can't even remember how he got the nickname Molly, but that's what's he's been known as for as long as I can remember.

Carole

The video is in the archives now.
Here's the direct link :

Click on the link for Molly Meets Meat Loaf :-)

Thanks.....what a treat! :)

You're welcome :))

You've incited some rare patriotism in me here Jeanie. :-)

Molly's an Icon! He's been a producer in the past but he's known for being a critic (who loves absolutely everything he reviews, lol) and a journo and for being friends with everybody who's anybody on the international rock music scene. He hung with John and Yoko a lot in 69 (was even once one of the two people in the BAG at a bagism press conference in place of John!), good friends with Brian May and Roger Taylor, Elton... and the list goes on.

And he's queer as folk. As explained by Bette Midler in the first 30 seconds of this interview from 1980.

:D
