no meat in the u.s.
 

can anyone tell me if meat post messges in other websites. i was in another meat loaf fan club and a person told me that meat won't post messages in other websites because he turned his back on the u.s fans . he was all out for money and that is all . please tell me this isn;'t so .

Turned is back on US fans? He must have done that US tour there recently and no one turned up!! Don't believe everything you hear.

Do NOT believe everything you hear.
:lol: Yes, Winston, ageeing (spelling :??: am Dutch) Again!
...but 'they' turned up, I think. :lol:

Re: no meat in the u.s.
 

I have no idea who would have told you such a thing ....
but do NOT believe everything you hear !!

Vicki

Mariella (So glad we had a great time!!!)

Vicki

thanks
 

thanks for helping me clear this up . i have been a fan for quite some time now. hearing this brought tears to my eyes. i know i shouldn't believe everything you hear but this hit me hard

Re: thanks
 

You're welcome :)
Believe me .... I know exactly how you feel.

Vici

:twisted: Over to General Messages I think :wink: .

I don't believe that Meat has turned his back on the US.
The Storytellers tour was only in the US as I remember.Also last years tour was restricted to the US and UK.

That is not true, what money do i get when I post here , how could you say or think such a thing, trouble makers from that stienman site. They hate the fact Jim and I are doing Bat III, They go everywhere and causse trouble and some of you seem to fall for it, in fact the person who posted from that message could be from that site ,their here all the time saying nasty little things. The offical site had no Forum till just a little while ago. And some girl wrote "The poor old guy just can't do it anymore, I've got the CD from Detroit and I'm going to respond to her song by song and note by note from that show. I posted here because you guys had a place to talk. Bottom LIne. The other statement is Total BS. I never do anything for the money and never will.

Meat

Absolutely Mouse ..... he would never do that :)
Just the idea of someone saying that to her really upsets me ....

Vicki

:twisted: Damn right Vicki.
It's ludicrous to even spread something round like that :? .

I don't know if Meat reads Off Topic,so I moved it here as I thought he should be given the chance to respond himself,and whatdayaknow :mrgreen:

Well said Meat :D .
We know it's not the money you do it for.
I seem to remember a verse from a certain song........

As for the person who said the poor old guy can't cut it anymore....

Old? 8O
Can't cut it? 8O

She's gonna be eating those words real soon :twisted:


BTW Meat,When are the fans gonna be able to get their hands on that Detroit recording? :wink:

Methinks your right, Mousie :wink:

I'm glad that you're setting them straight :D

Maria

Meat,

I'm a big fan of yours
I'm also a big fan of Jim's work
I love most of the stuff you did with and without Jim
I love most of the stuff Jim did with and without you
I believe you when you say you never did or will do anything just for the money
but I'm not freaking believing this:

Pardon me, but that's not true. Or I'm reading a completly different board than you do. Yes there are some troublemakers there, but they don't (all) hate the fact you and Jim are doing Bat III. I would even say that most are thrilled you guys are doing that... I know I am.

But what I'm really not wanting to believe is that you, the one who a couple of months said something about getting the facts right, said the following:

So, to you, everyone who says something what is not totally positive about something you do, is from the Jim Steinman site? No wonder that board has a bad reputation... but I tell you, and please believe me, it's not true that 'we' go everywhere and cause trouble. As far as I know, there are only very few visiting both boards on a regular basis, while posting on both. I am one of them, and I, am at a total loss for words. Is that really what you believe, or have I fallen for it?

I would have thought that you'd be getting your facts right. Well, I just don't know anymore...

William

You're absolutely right Mouse !!

Vicki

pfloyd .. correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the second thread you've started with some negative stuff you've heard about Meat?

Anyone who is hugely successful will always have s few small minded people wanting to say negative things about them. You say you're a great fan of Meat's. Just ignore stupid comments you hear. If you're a fan you'll know that Meat is driven by the desire to create and make things work and make them work better each time. He's one of the least acquisitive and most unpretentious stars you'll ever come across. Money would never be his motivation .. he could walk away right now, live in comfort and play golf for the rest of his days .. that he doesn't is because he loves the work. That he loves the work is a blessing for us.

Well said Caryl :D

I second that shadow ..... very well said Caryl :)
Vicki

Good on you CarylB, and well said Meat Loaf!

We KNOW you don't just do it for the money (but I bet it helps, right??? :lol: ).

No one who works as hard as you could ever be said to be turning his back on his fans (or hers of course, you are also Mr PC!).

I'm surprised that some Jim fans don't like the idea of Bat3, but that's up to them. Don't let them tear you down. We won't.

Hey Meat i never thought anything other about you, now i know that i was right !
Thanks

Everybody who speaks bad about you and in this very strange way must be complete silly !

Never ever stop Rockin´

no way
 

first off let me say that it is not me that said that . i just went into a other meatloaf website and this is what i was told . i never believed it i was just shocked at what they said. for them saying that in a website devoted to meat just sounded funny. i respect meat for what he does because he doesn't have to do it. he at least posts in this forum . if he didn't care he wouldn't. so don't blame me .

MEAT I know you say the true!!!

Love for ever
Eva

PS. Hope to see you backstage in Germany! :P

Right you are Eva :)

And if you get to see him backstage .. just make sure you give him a big hug and kiss from me :))

Vicki

Meat, we went to your show at marley park last year and
sorry but i didnt see any old guys on the stage, plenty in the
crowd, and as for not being able to cut it i wish i had some of
your energy.
take no notice of anything you see just add a big spoon of salt
and you probably are nearer the answer.

Hi again everyone, been busy traveling and working. Was lucky enough to attend the WI, IA, Cleveland, and Detroit shows. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every show. Cleveland was magic!

I will admit tho, Detroit wasn't as good a show musically as the other three. However, Meat made up for it with a ton of humor and fun! How someone can say he doesn't have it, doesn't understand performance. No the vocals weren't 100%, but after 4 shows in 5 days, I'd be lucky to talk.
Great US tour, looking forward to the next leg, good luck in OZ and Europe!

okay..now in order to get it down to basics..as i do..because i can't write eloquently... :-) .. barely in fact...

let's take Meat down to the common man level..as me mum would...putting his pants on one leg at a time... (tink pauses as she ponders the picture in her mind a moment...yasss...)

okay..uh hum...singing and acting is what Meat does for a living...it's his job...and he's good at it..and most important?... he loves what he does for a living....therefore puts his all into it....

so..bottom line...yes...he makes money...because he sings and acts for a living..it's what he loves to do and what he chose to do for a living...

i can never understand why this "money" business comes up...

btw..did i mention he's pretty dang good at what he does?

OF COURSE, Vicki I will do this!!!!! :mrgreen:

Love
Eva

Oh Eva .. you're such a martyr prepared to suffer for the good of others .. :lmao:

Christine...

You say no one showed up for the Meat Loaf tour in America?

I was at the last three shows (including tickets for Columbus that was cancelled *grrrrrr*) and ALL of these shows were "SOLD OUT" prior to show time!

America has definately NOT turned their backs on Meat Loaf by any means. And sitting (screw that, who can sit at a Meat Loaf show), standing in the third row in Cleveland, I could see the absolute joy in Meat Loaf's face as he performed for the city that loved his music first.

ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!

I would have to agree with you 100% on this one.

I was in row three in the center section in Cleveland, and was in row 23 (with some major view obstructions) in Detroit. I found the music quality (band & vocals) was much better in Cleveland. I know Meat seemed to have much more energy in Cleveland than he did in Detroit, but then again, he had just done four shows in five days! JEEZE! I sang three Meat Loaf songs at the House Of Blues in Myrtle Beach as the opening act for the Rocky Horror Picture Show and was flat on my back until it was nearly time to Time Warp, I can just imagine the things that are going on, physically, with Meat, during a tour like this.

Guys, let me tell you something about this show. FORGET everything you ever knew about Meat Loaf when you go to see this show. This reminds me a lot of the early to mid 80's tours when Meat did none of the slow songs and took little to no time to chat with the audience in between songs. In retrospect, I can say I cannot say I was not disappointed at all with either of the two shows I was lucky enough to see on this tour. The band is WAY much better than the band on the Just Havin' Fun Tour could ever have hoped to be! Despite the vocal problems he has mentioned on this board, Meat Loaf's vocals are just amazing during this show.

This is a tour you CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS if you are a Meat Loaf fan! Further, this is a tour you HAVE TO SEE UP CLOSE to gain a full appreciation for. It is a shame that people have to go through ticket brokers and eBay to get the good seats, but the extra money is well worth it for this show. After "suffering" through a show back in row 23, I will never do that again. The only way I even knew Mark Alexander was there was by seeing him on the video screen, thankfully Renee comes to the front during Testify or I would not have seen her either. The view from my seat was HORRIBLE! Meat performs mostly on the edge of the stage, and I know there were people sitting in the section I was sitting in that said they did not see Meat at all during the show. I felt very detached during the show (on whole) and missed being able to see the interaction between Meat and the band.

But all in all, both shows I attended were good shows. I just don't think that the mojo was working as well in Detroit as it was working in Cleveland.

ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!

:lmao: Yeah it's a tought job but somebody's got to do it :))
Eva can handle it !!

Thanks Eva :))
Vicki

You tell me the names of the trouble makers and I'll get all the other forum members together and we'll hang them from the nearest lamp posts

:twisted:

I can't believe anyone would come up with such Bullshit about that,

Although I have one question, why do the people from Steinman sites seem to dislike you? (Sorry if this has been asked before, but I cannot find any reason)

I DID NOT SAY THAT DAVID.
You see this is where trouble starts, quoting people out of context.

Am not David, but was 'there' when this post he is talking about, was made...Believe it was a joke and no harm was intented by you.
Just confused over one thing, why would David call you Christine?
Am I missing something here?

Have a nice day,

Mariella

*sigh*

You are being argumenative and petty. You have been a constant anti-Meat Loaf and anti-Meat Loaf fan person since Kasim cancelled his solo shows earlier this year to do the NBA promo.

Do not PM me any further about this. If you have a gripe with my comments, please say it in public or do not say it at all.

Thank you.

ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!

I used to be a girl and now I'm a boy.

Yes, seems to be the case...

Mariella

Well, was born as Mariella, will 'leave this place' as Mariella...only way anyone will Ever see me post is as Mariella...

Am I missing something here David? If I was so anti Meat why the hell would I go see him in New Jersey, Dublin and Belfast. I think you are being petty here, I was simply pointing out to you that you took my quote out of context. I was defending Meat.

You're absolutely right Winston !!
Vicki

This is about 'intentions' Winston/Christine...
Like I said before (don't know if you read it), I do not just forget about posts I read on another board...I do not copy it on this board aswell...but I do remember!!!

Seems like I enjoy your sense of humor...but, that seems to be all we have in common.

Mariella

What?

Who are you, Winston or Christine? Please!

Mariella

And this is got to do with what?

Well, people do surf the internet, Christine...
And David has a must have a valid reason for saying this, in public, so I choose to believe him! Read the posts by 'Christine' too...

Mariella

Are you talking about kasiminfo.com? That I'm pissed of with Meat for having to cancel one of Kasim's solo shows? Or that I do have an opinion on Meat's music career?
