Enjoy guys. Unfortunately doing my bit in Cyprus so you won't meet me, but it will still be a good day.

i won't be at this one either. have a great time tho!

Yes. I just signed up. Hoping to arrive around half 4, is that early enough or will we ned to queue early?

Sold out already. Not happy!

ill be there

Try again ive just got a ticket x

Group meetup? Is there a coffee shop right near?

I'll be there! Travelling down on my own, so if any similarly lonesome folk feel like meeting up or keeping me company in the queue, get in touch. Otherwise, here's wishing you all a good time.

Like I said we could all meet up beforehand? There's a Pret a Manger right around the corner on Davies St.

Is this one where you have to line from 6am or because we've purchased are we fine?

Also will we be allowed to have a picture with Meat?

Unfortunately not as I'll be back to work that day up here in Edinburgh after the convention I'm going to so there isn't even the slightest possibility :(

Guess my wait to meet Meat will go on :P

This is something I'm waiting to find out Danny - I've asked the store if they can give me a rough idea. I'm heading down in the afternoon so if we have to queue early, that won't leave much time. Hopefully it won't come to that though...

I hope so, that's why I am going but I've realised this isn't mention. They say he is signing the CD sleeve but we won't receive the Cd until the day after in the post. Unless this is a mistake.

I'm up for meeting before hand Pret may be a bit small though especially as it's around rushhour.

I've been trying to upload an avatar pic to my profile so I'm identifiable but I appear to be rubbish at locating how to do this.

Done it :)

BTW I don't think you need to queue, there is a fast track option to queue jump but as it's limited to 300 I think everyone will get seen.

Unfortunately it's too far for me to travel from the US :D But I hope that everyone who can make it has an amazing time !

Yes cause it would not be chart eligible if it was sold on Thursday, well it would but the sales would go to the next day chart.

By coffee shop you mean pub right?

If I hadn't unexpectedly lost my job last month, I might have been there. My wife loves London. But for now it's wiser to keep my hand on the wallet :cool:

Wel.................. ;)

Leicester?! I'm near Oakham haha I change at Leicester Station to get to St Pancras

There's that nice gay pub we met in close by....

ooh Which one? Not been in a gay bar in LDN before.

I'll be there. Looking forward to it.:D

You wanna refrase that fly-boy before I clip your wings?

I don't think there's anything wrong with that is there? A gay bar is a thing in Canada too, doesn't mean anything derogatory as far as I know :-P

Okidoki. Got mine, whos buying the first round :bunny::cheers:

Me and my daughter Emma will be there! Can't wait been 5 years since I saw Meat x

I hope those nice polite security guards are there from last time. 8*/
Tut tut.

Gez gets the first round???
I'll bring my camera.
Hahahahahaha

Hmm, I'm on the fence. I think I'll hold out hope for a similar event up North or save my money for gig tickets. Love Meat but a long road trip just to get a booklet signed is hard to justify when I've already met him and got a photo at one before.

Haha, first round on me.........next few on you ;)

Am I going to see you there big chap?

I've just got my ticket for meats signing at HMV, was supposed to be meeting Mick Rock in London on the 8th; but luckily he has just postponed until the 9th now. Travelling down from south Wales to meet both of them

I wanna come :( you guys fancy a cheeky jagger weekend in Cyprus?

Also stretch it's a little joke between myself and Monstro about the last signing ;).

Call me crazy, but I am flying over from Austria to make a dream come true and finally meet our Rock n Roll hero (for about 10 seconds and maybe a pic, if I am really lucky)! :D

Oh dear.....sounds like a plan Seb :shock::D

Hey crazy:D

First off, welcome to the neighbourhood!!!

With regards to the signing, if previous is anything to go by you're about right with the ten seconds and photo's with the man are bloody rare

Forum tradition is AndyK gets the first round in and for all meet-up first timers it's a double!!!!

I have to be on the tube back at 8:30 which should be fine #nopressure

Well ... a girl can dream! ;)

ohhhh dear god, wario's spelling has now infected you

Wish we could, but alas, we have REAL LIFE things over this side of the pond. Heres hoping for some signings here in the states.

He did a CD signing in Austin, TX yesterday, so I guess anything's possible :-)

You have no idea how much I almost did....until I noticed you had to be a resident of UK....otherwise it was game on! I was prepared to fly over to the UK for a day! :)

Got mine :)

I think it's time to break with tradition and delegate this task.

Were you seriously gonna do it?! You know I'd have got your tickets! Probably the sensible choice though, we've got road trips to plan! X

And you really do only get 10 seconds.

Guy you mean the security that did not want me to take my picture to be signed :)

Hopefully with the event being limited numbers they might calm down and not be so keen to rush people through...the signings I did back in 2003 were great as ML was allowed to get on and do what he wanted, for however long he wanted, they were so relaxed.

If anyone by chance happens to have a spare ticket then please let me know! I was working until 21:00 yesterday and had no access to Internet or no idea these tickets were being made available. Money and my eternal gratitude awaiting!! :)

I was at the HCTB signing in the Netherlands. Great that they sell the tickets now! Then it was just horrible. Meat had an hour. But the line was twice as long, so a lot of people couldn't get a autograph. And the 10 seconds is right. I was lucky, because there were some press, who wanted to photograph and do some tv shots. But the time they were setting up, it was my turn so I got 5 minutes with him. If I was one earlier or later, it would been 10 seconds. So if you wanna say something to him, rehearse the shit out of it. My wife wanted to say something and she only said "Uhm blah, ha jah". In such short time frame you must do it right the first time ;)

Also take 1 person with you to photograph. At our signing he didn't do photographs because he got limited time. So I got real close at the signing and my wife took a lot of photograps and just hoping one is great. I got lucky because she got a photo where you see him talking to me and looking me in the eyes.

My biggest "complaint" from the last one was that the music was too loud and the table was too deep, so ML couldn't hear a single word anyone was saying to him, we ended up screaming at each other!

But hey...it's likely to be the last time we're doing this so let's just have fun and enjoy :)

I decided against going to this one.

One of my main concerns was the cost of attending and when I combined the price of the album that we were required to purchase to be able to attend together with the cost of getting there, it pushed it a little bit out of my budget for this moment in time. :(

I was so disappointed in HMV's handling of the last signing that I didn't really think I could justify paying to attend this one. Saying that though, I'm glad that the opportunity was there for those that wanted to take it and I sincerely hope that everyone who does go enjoys themselves.

I seriously was... I think by the time i spoke to you it was sold out. You know I'm never sensible but you are right we have road trips to plan!! it'd be crazy to fly 24 hours for 10 seconds... wouldn't it?!😃 you know me!!

That's why I'm going - I've never been to an album signing before and I've always wanted to meet Meat properly.

I should be on Oxford St around 4.30pm, delays pending so I should have an hour and a half to kill but afterwards I may have to dash onto the train! Would love to meet some of you guys!!

Anyone wanna Skype me in Cyprus whilst this goes on haha?

The event on facebook

I got a ticket too :D

youre supposed to be my SPELLCHECKKKK

I'm going!

The event is for 300 people and you need to pre-order with the unique number to gain entry.

(I just replied to this on my phone and hit the wrong button, so sorry if you've received this as PMs or emails!! Oops!)

Im going Lucy. Good timing as I was supposed to be meeting Mick rock on the 8th in London; but he's postponed it until the 9th, so get to do both now, and meet meat again :-)

So have we decided if we are meeting up before hand and if so when/where?
I've added myself to the FB event (Philip R Clarke)

Cool - I'm coming from Rutland but I won't be going via Leicester/St Pancras I've worked out its better to go via Peterborough.

Adn I'm going to be in London for 4 hours. This is crazy but exciting!!

Event runs from 1800 - 2100, some time before that I'll be in The Running Horse pub @ 50 Davies St, London W1K 5JE (five mins from HMV).

Please don't put this on FB event page lol

If there's any delay would it be rude of me to tell a worker about the train situation?

I'm going by coach in the morning as it's cheaper so I'll be around most of the afternoon to meet up with anyone :)

I'll look at Coaches actually, thanks for the reminder

EDIT: Looked and it's cheaper for me just to take the train :D

I'll be driving down from Cardiff. So hoping to get there between 12-2. Staying overnight as I'm off to meet Mick Rock on the Friday

Is that the pub we used last time?

Memories, my first time meeting you all. What trouble that has caused since then!

Just round the corner - I might try coming down earlier to hang out with you guys and take a stroll up Oxford St

We were at Coach & Horses in Poland St, that is some distance from where this signing is, either they've moved HMV or that pub was a hell of a lot further away than I remember lol. The Running Horse pub is literally round the corner minutes away from HMV.

Babycham and a bag of nuts for me please.
:0)

Not getting on the jager train?

mines a G&T ...ta :D;)

So it's The Running Horse then?

Looks that way m8

Cool. See you guys there. What time?

I'm keeping everything crossed for another signing in another city on Saturday 10th. I cant make the 8th as I start a new job 2 days before....I don't think they would appreciate me asking for the day off lol. Totally gutted and jealous as hell that my 2 kids have got tickets for London.

LESS THAN A MONTH TO GO! When are people meeting at The Running Horse?

Don't worry, nearer the time we usually get our act together and make these important life changing decisions. Bigger question is what time does it close for after the signing!!

hahah yeah - there's plenty of time to work it out!!

HMV have just added another 160 spaces to the CD signing! So if didn't manage to get a ticket first time round... Now is your chance! :D

See you guys in the pub before hand..:) ... Monstro.. Are we on the cocktails again? ;)

Got one this time!!!

Where the hell was that? When was that? and lastly.......how pissed was I?

Damn I was too late, Hope you guys have fun, looks like I have give this one a miss, send Meat my regards :)

Wish I was gonna but sadly missed out on tickets would be funny to introduce Meat to Luna after the relationship councilling he gave me and Ash three years agohttp://i50.photobucket.com/albums/f3...pshwgosxfl.jpg

Well it is a week away so what time are people getting there?

I'll be in London by half 4, I'm like you due ot travel reasons!! haha I'll go in and ask wjhat would be a good time to queue when i get there

I'll be there at 4pm. Don't want to be at the front. Rather the middle. Are we meeting up? Would be great to say hi to some :)

I would like to take time to meet with people also if poss :D

Cant wait for the whole train system to become completely automated. Hope no one has trouble getting there next week.

Martin Hausler launches exhibition in London same night as signing
 

September 8 at 7pm, photographer Martin Hausler is to launch an exhibition featuring his work at London's Sanctum Soho hotel, which will include photos of Meat. Meat is quoted as saying " This man is one of the greatest photographers of all time. If you miss it, you are wrong." Might he make an appearance on the opening night after the signing?

Martin Häusler is bringing a new exhibition to the Sanctum Soho Hotel this September.

The Martin Häusler Sanctum Soho Photography Takeover

Thursday 8th September – Thursday 13th October 2016

German portrait photographer Martin Häusler brings the latest installation of his works to London with The Martin Häusler Sanctum Soho Photography Takeover, which opens on Thursday 8th September for a 5-week residence.

Following successful exhibitions in Stuttgart, Los Angeles and his home town of Heidelberg, this latest collection will showcase Häusler’s works and feature British talent including the late Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead captured at his favourite Los Angeles hangout, a world first unveiling of a 3D life size print of Queen’s Brian May plus other international artists from the world of music, acting and entertainment.

With Häusler having shot the album photography for Meat Loaf’s upcoming album ‘Braver Than We Are’ (out in the UK on Friday 9th September), there will also be exclusive prints from the shoot on display to mark the release.

Sanctum Soho Hotel provides a natural setting for the Häusler’s debut exhibition in London, with both music and imagery being at the very heart of the hotel’s décor and ambience.

The installation will be opened with a launch event on Thursday 8th September at 7.00pm, which invited guests are welcome to attend and members of the public will be able to enjoy the works from that same evening, with prints located throughout the hotel in the lobby, restaurant/bar and roof terrace. There is no admission charge for visitors wishing to view the prints.
