Sabine

Thanks for letting us know Meat - anyone have any ideas as to which gigs these will take place at?.
Also do you need to be a member of the fanclub to actually go to a Meet and Greet or can anyone go - how do you go about going to one??
I would really love to go to a meet and greet at Sheffield on the 22nd Nov if this is possible.

Me too pleeeeese

Meat GREAT to hear from u. I hope your throat is better and that your still as strong. I have the same question to ask as renegade angel. Cause I would LOVE to see you on 27th November in Glasgow, it would make the only life long dream a 15yr old gal has come true. However,enough dreaming.
LOVE YA LOADS!!!
ROCK ON FIREBALL!!
hugs,
Leeann :P

Great to hear from you Meat, I do hope my dream is getting closer. Still looking for that shootin star though. :D

Vicki

I hope you are feeling well Meat, and having a little down time, for yourself.

Hey Meat,

God bless ya xxx
[/b]

I am not going to any of the meet and greets, but to all who are
good luck and have fun and yes it was so nice of meat to
take time to come on and let you all know about this especially
when everything is so up in the air for him right now.
but surely him coming on like this the day after the doctors visit
means that he got good news yesterday? or am i reading to much into
it ? we love you to meat....take care.

Dates
 

Oct 27 & 29th, Nov 1st, 7,10, 13, 17, 29 Dec 2nd, 5,7, and 9th.

Meat

It sounds like you have a seriously busy schedule ahead of you. You must be feeling better :D


Maria

I forget
 

I think the shows will be fine, and I'm sorry for some that I will do the hits and pretty much the same songs every night. We sold 400,000 tiockets for this tour and they are not the same 400,000 every night. For those who repeat shows try not to be upset but I have to worry about the other the other 398,000 who would be upset if I didn't play the songs, as far as the same Jokes for 5 years..... I don't know what shows they have been going too. But I change things or try to everynight. I try to give the best show I can every time I walk on the stage and I think selling 400,000 tickets 25 years after bat and 10 years after bat 2 says something about my live shows, Remember you can't please every one all the time, just try and please the majority most of the Time and always give 125%. Changes will include Heaven can wait and some other things. One more thing the 1 Joke I repeat has been The beginning of anything for love but every nite 97 to 99% of the crowd have not seen it before and it works, oh yea the Guitar solo bit. you know west end and Broadway shows have had the same jokes and song list for years and
and they seem to work. I like singing what I like to sing and try to put different songs in for every tour. also different beginnings and endings different a as far as being creative I think the lights, props have changed, a few years ago I spent 200,000 dollars on old film footage which I picked out by watching about 300 hours of film and also sept a week with an editor putting it together, then there was storytellers which was very different. every tour has to be different in some way like this one playing the new songs from the new album. So if if went on stage and did't do bat or paradise or anything for love , or some other things the couple of hundred people who saw the show might be happy but the other 11,000 might be upset .Do you not think so. I think my shows are the best I can do and if you don't like them don't come ,yes you can have you opinion and are more than welcome to it and can post it here just don't be upset when people disagree ,like me..... also somtimes if you don't know what your talking about you can look very stupid. this posting is In response to another posting on the MLUKFC.
Love Ya,
Meat

??
 

Sorry for the typos in the last posting ,if you need help with it let me know.


ML

Sounds good to me, just take care of yourself, now due to my nocturnal occupation my eyes are closing and I will attempt to sleep for the rest of thye day.. Concerts sound great looking forward to Dec 18th

Rosie

My typos are from lack of sleep??????? anything you want to share



Rosie

I know that feeling :D
Don't worry about the typos Meat. I think that we can forgive you :twisted:

Maria

I'm off to bed now a happy bunny shame about Dec18th


Rosie

Hi, Meat, doesn't matter what you play, it's still gonna be great. The date of the 13th November in Manchester, is that a meet and greet, I do hope it is. :D

meatloaf, the shows you do are brilliant, you go on stage and
you give us 110% every time, you have us laughing and singing...
you can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the
people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people
all of the time...at least that is what my grandad allways told me.
meat we come to youre shows because we enjoy the show you do
dont let some killjoys spoil it for you thinking that, we rock with you
not them.
as for the dates, mine is the 7th dec, but well would not have a clue
about what to do but guessing they are all spoken for by now....
take care,
kezzina

Oh, Meat! Try and relax, please!! You mustn't let people's words and reactions upset you so! I can understand why they do. We all can!

But for every negative comment you might find somewhere, I'm sure we can find 100, 200, 500, 1000 others which would be positive!!! Sometimes, it feels as though you only look at those comments which have something bad to say. By responding to them, you give the people making them too much power--you give them too much emphasis--and it doesn't belong there.

You have SO many fans around the world who adore you, who can't wait to see you--whenever, wherever you go!! There has to be a way that you can turn things around--just for your own sake--and concentrate on all the good out here for you, instead of the little bit of bad!!

WE must be the things that matter MOST!! WE are always here for you and always will be!! Please try to balance the negatives (or totally eliminate them) with all the positives that are here for you!!!

The four shows I got to see this summer were wonderful! I didn't care about the songlist--whether it was the same or different each night--I didn't care if your voice was perfect or it wasn't--I came to see YOU! And I was NOT ONCE disappointed!!! :!:

There is only ONE Meat Loaf in this world and millions of us know that and treasure that!! Please try to be a little at peace within yourself with that fact in mind!!

It hurts us here when you come and feel you have to explain and defend what it is you do and the way in which you choose to do it!! You must know that it is unnecessary for the majority of us!!

You've gone through such a rough time these past few months. It's got to be more important that you concentrate on feeling better and staying well!! That is what matters most!!

I'm sorry to go so long, but these are things I have wanted to say to you for quite some time!!

I send my love, as always, to you and yours,
MB
xxx

well said MB, lets just hope he does stop letting the killjoys get
to him because as you said there is only one meatloaf....
But saying that it must be very disheartning putting so much
effort in to the shows especially with his throat and then some put
him down, but as you say MB, its a pity he has to put up with it.
take care meat and take it easy while you can.
kezzina

I wasn't going to say anything....but hell. On the topic of same jokes/songs etc...You should really pause and think how bloody lucky (can I say bloody here? 8O ) you are that you are seeing more than one show. I know i would give my left testicle to see Meat live more than once.
He dosen't get down under very often (understandable since we are only a population of 17 million). When he does From Brisbane Sydney is about 1000km away and Melbourne is 2000km away hence a trip becomes an expensive or time consuming exercise.

I was thinking how long it was since Meat Toured Australia and came up with a rough figure of 7 years (Welcome to the Neighbourhood). I can't wait for his return and will be there cheering for the great man. He always goes off!

So if you are lucky enough to enjoy more than one of Meat's shows....You really shouldn't be unhappy if they contain mostly the same material....after all they are designed for people like me the one time a tour fan, and not the lucky few who get to enjoy the show more than once. If you ever get bored :roll: feel free to send Meat down under....I'll be more than happy to watch exactly the same show even when I know it off by heart and beyond.

Meat have a XXXX and relax your a champ :D

oh and btw if i didnt make sence, spelt stuff wrong or the word bloody is not welcome here, I claim lack of sleep too......I'm on nightwork......night 3 of seven tonight.

Well said MB, I think you have spoken for a lot of us. There is no way Meat should explain himself, every concert, being the same as the night before or not, will be bloody great, you don't know what to expect from Meat, even his own band seem surprised at times, because every night is different, same songs maybe but totally different concert. I can't wait to see him in Manchester. :D

you got censored for bloody too :P were bad :oops:

BAD BOYS BAD BOYS WATCHA GONNA DO WATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU :twisted:

I say the same as MB!

Love you, MEAT! :P
Eva

only one week........ :P :P :P

:wink: Dear Meat, you can play what you want, I love it all, you are the best.

Sabine

Looks like I'll not get the chance to meet the man himself as Im going to the Sheffield gig on 22nd November - god I wished I'd have gone to the 29th gig now!!!!
I supose I'll just have to count my blessings that at least im going to a show.

Meat - you play the songs and do what ever you like on stage, I don't think any true fan minds whatever you do as long as they get to see you live.
I can honestly say that I've been to quite a few of your shows over the years, and I have never seen you do a 'bad' show yet.
I understand that some people will always moan about what songs you do and to be honest I myself would love to hear you do some songs that you've not done for a while but I would be upset if you didn't do the classics aswell, so just keep doing what you are doing.

I notice that every show on this tour in the UK is sold out and these are not small venues to fill so you must be doing something right!

Meat,
I count myself as lucky to of seen you twice so far. I've been to a lot of concerts in the last 25 years and I can honestly say that no-one equals YOU !!!
I was trying to explain to a work colleague the other day what makes your concerts so special - it's not just your charisma on stage, not just the fabulous music, but the fact that you give 110% not just for the concert itself, but the fact that you give 110% for each and every song !!!!
It must be about 8 years since your last visit, and I still remember that concert clearly, and can't wait to see you again in Melbourne.
Got my fingers crossed you can come to Adelaide as well, as that's my home town.

Please don't let people's comments upset you !!
The rest of us love ya mate !!!!!

Re: Dates
 

None for either of the Scottish dates. Aaaaawwwww. :(

Re: Dates
 

Or for Cardiff on the 15th :evil: :cry: :cry: or the Manchester gig i'm going to on the 30th :evil: :cry: :cry: :cry: :?

Hafta say, i am a tad, well a bit more than a tad :roll: dissapointed, but i'm sure Meat has done his best to make sure that most of his fans get a chance to meet him.

17th November Oh please :!: That must be Wembley, cous Meat cann't do two shows in one night :D

Oh please Dec 18th can't swop I driving down and picking my boy up at Garwick and then straight on to Wembley, but if the plane is delayed he'll have to stay at gatwick until after the show and I'll have a spare ticket, I;ve think I've got my priorities right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Rosie Shouldn't really whinge he can't please us alll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That sure sounds like Wembley to me, Dottie. Hopefully I will get to meet both you and Meat that same evening. :D

Keeping my fingers crossed!

Mariella

Re: Dates
 

Oh Heat are none of the dates your concerts? Maybe they'll be some more to come?
One of them is a concert I'll be at, unfortunately it isn't one my son is coming to.........

You never know there might be more dates to come, would everyone who does get lucky and still has the power to speak when they meet him ask him about Trigger Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!###

Rosie

Rosie

Re: M&G

It's like waiting for the lottery numbers to be drawn!!!!!!!!


Rosie

Woo Hoo!!!

manchester on the 13th!!!

How does one get ones name down for a meet and greet???

Good question batman! whats the answer? :?
Is that the concert your knees are booked for? :twisted:

Methinks i'll just sit here and cry in the corner :cry: :cry: :cry:

I think perhaps Meat's heard things about the Welsh, but Meat, if you read this - IT'S ONLY THE SHEEP THAT NEED TO BE WORRIED!!!!!!!!!


Am now gonna sit in silent anticipation that someone up there loves me and is gonna arrange for a meet and greet for Cardiff or Manchester on the 30th......

And what shall we start the bidding at then dear???????

You'll get your rewards at Cardiff hun.... :wink: :P

What about dec 13th, sheffield? :cry: pleeeeeease Meat?

re meet and greets
 

yes i was wondering as well how if your concert date is there
you go about finding out how you get choosen for meet and greets.
i have tried putting it in the search only there are quite a few locked
and no answers that i could see on the others?
any ideas, not that i stand a chance of being picked but i was curious.
kezzina

I absolutely agree Jayd2 !!
Thank you MB :)

I've been lucky enough to see Meat twice during the tour this year. And although the songlist was basically the same (with the exception of Out Of The Frying Pan .. which was new to me), both of the shows shows were different and special in their own way !! The two things I'll never forget are watching him sing CHSIB and Testify for the first time live at the Mohegan Sun, and then being caught up in the positive energy of the crowd at The Borgata :))

This tour just keeps getting better and better .. and I for one can't wait until I (hopefully) get the chance to see him again next year :)

Vicki

Meat wrote:
It says it all in spades!! As to the set list not changing each show, I find it hard to believe that anyone should honestly expect this. It's not something performers do on tour in my experience, I know I don't expect this when I book for a number of concerts. The great thing about a Meat concert is that there is always something different in the theatre and the delivery each time, and in the jokes and asides/interaction with the audience

He then wrote:
God love him, he's a pip!! :) And whilst I agree with those who say you have no need to justify/explain yourself Meat, because you give a cracking performance every time you set foot on stage, I will confess to loving your feisty posts when your gander's up :wink: I don't like to see you upset, but I think you know your worth, and I'm sure you too can see the Pythonesque illogic of someone who can say you gave a great show but sounded bad .. yeah .. and Nureyev performed a great ballet but he couldn't dance!! :lmao:

Then Kezzina wrote:
I'd guess that the Fan Club would first of all meet Meat's promise to those who did as he asked the first week the single was released and thereafter it would be by lucky draw Kezzina. He's said he doesn't want large numbers at each, and the open invitation on the board for the concert in Holland resulted in a rather large group.

yeah, i know about the lot of people that he wrote about,
that is one reason why i dont think we would be choosen and
why i think i should give it a miss this year. :cry:
as my two would be on the ceiling with excitement, especially
my son, :oops: so, nope i dont reckon it would be a good idea, but eh,
curiosity killed the cat and all that, i will know now how it is done
should there be a next time, thanks carylB. :)
kezzina

How does one get ones name down for a meet and greet???[/quote]

Wembley 17th November - does anyone know :??:

well, i bought a shit load of singles the last time and was under the impression that would get me a meat and greet... but of course never really expected it to happen...

I dont know how you get to... but shit happens eh???

I am desparate to know how to apply for the meet and greets. If anyone has any idea then PLEASE let me know. I have loved meat for the past 23 years and just to be in the same room would make my life complete. Sounds daft I know but you just can't help how you feel, eh guys? PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE I need to know.
Love Christa xxxxxx

As soon as we know more, I'll post it. 8)

Re: M&G
 

Glasgow. Yippppeeeee. :bunny: :bunny: :bunny:

fingers crossed and everything crossed for Dec 18th




pls pls pls


Rosie (then u can have your condom back)

Meet and greets
 

Thanks very much R, I am waiting with baited breath.

Well, I'll be there on the 17th November. But I'm also bringing along a friend, is it members only? Or are we allowed a partner?

I could say that he's my brother, we do look alike. Or maybe my gay partner? :lol:

Ermmmmm.....!!!??? 8O I AM REFUSING TO THIS!!!!! :mrgreen:

I was wondering this too, I am going with my girlfriend on the 13th Nov and she is just as excited as me. Is it members only of MLUKFC or can partners or friends get to meet the great man too. :D

I know that the setlist cannot be made for us attending multiple shows.
But will nevertheless hope that Meats throws in

OUT OF THE FRYING PAN

at least on some nights!


Michael

(Only six days until the first show inHalle! :D)

Hi Michael!

He did it at the show that I went to in Atlantic City in September, so
hopefully it's still on the songlist :) It was the first time I ever saw him sing it live and it was great !!
Vicki

Meat did it pretty much every show on the US leg of the tour.

ROCK ON FIRE BALL!!!

I am going with my friend too on the 29th to Sheffield. I can't just leave her waiting around for me, besides she would kill me if I see i and she doesn't. :(

I would presume, and it's only a presumption, that with Meet and Greets, it's for the 1 person only. Meat did say that he wanted to try and keep the numbers down, and if, for example, people started bringing thier partners and friends in with them, where would it end???

Yes a couple of people might be dissapointed because they hafta wait outside whilst thier friends go and meet Meat, but at the end of the day there are gonna be a lot more people that don't get to meet Meat then there are that do meet him. I guess it's just the way it goes. :roll:

If you read the instructions in the Meet and Greet forum, you do not have to be a member of MLUKFC to have a M&G. After all when Meat Loaf made his promise about people buying extra copies of CHSIB and getting a M&G, he didn't say that the offer was for Fan Club members only. According to the instructions, you just have to had registered on this board.

However it does say that preference will be given to fan club members.

Sue
http://www.KasimInfo.com

I am a member but was wondering about my partner, but reading the instructions left by R in the meet and greet registration, only the registering person get's the Meet and Greet. But my girlfriend said she will wait :(

cant believe i missed this scanning over topics! god im a muppet.

NOV 29TH!!! wooohooooo :D :D :D :D

Hate to put a dampner on things :roll: , but not everyone who bought extra copies of CHSIB will get a M&G, because M&G's aren't happening at every venue.


Whilst this probably can't be helped, it is dissapointing for a number of fans, me included, but that's just the way things go. I was more than happy to go out and buy shedloads of CHSIB singles when the need arose, and i know i'll go do the same when Man Of Steel comes out at the end of next month - M&G or not. :wink:

You've taken my quote totally out of context.

What I actually wrote was "when Meat Loaf made his promise about people buying extra copies of CHSIB and getting a M&G, he didn't say that the offer was for Fan Club members only"

I didn't say that everyone who bought extra copies of CHSIB would get M&Gs as I fully realise that there aren't enough M&Gs to go around.

My point was that you do not have to be a fan club member to get a M&G but you do have to be registered on this board. I was replying to someone who was concerned as her friend doesn't belong to the fan club.

:oops: Sorry Sue, that was never my intention - head in the shed.... :oops: :roll:

That's true Heat .. and I feel so bad for you :( Because not only did you do as Meat asked, but you did so much more too. I trust that all those who answered the call and do have a M&G at a concert they are attending will certainly be included, for this was a promise made, and I believe Meat to be an honourable man.

Perhaps for those in your position it might be possible for Meat to meet them backstage for a few minutes at the concert they are attending? He did say he would make this happen. Looking back at the original thread, the numbers of people who bought copies in the week Meat asked are not huge, so it should be possible to make it happen.

Also there are a few members of the forum from the USA who also did as he asked, and who were not able to see him in the first USA leg as there were no formal fan M&Gs on this occasion. Perhaps Meat didn't expect that people in the USA would also rally to the call .. but some did, and hopefully on the second leg he can fulfill his promise to them too :)

Thanks to two fabulous friends :D :D - you know who you are, ladies :P :P - i have been able to secure a ticket for the Sheffield gig on the 29th November, :D the night Meat is doing a M&G, so fingers crossed.......

:twisted: soooo much more to look forward to............

Re: M&G
 

What about December 17th Manchester pleeeeease.

Also just to let you know I don't care what you sing 'cos anything you do is OK by me.

As regards the typo errors - I can offer my services if you wish. :wink:

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, Heat. So glad you got a ticket...was worried there for a while!

xxx

Mariella

Yippeee, got my name down ,' When you wish upon on a star' fingers tightly crossed :D

I am keeping my fingers crossed for everyone!

Just noticed, Dottie hasn't been here since the Nov 17th. The Wembley M&G registation-thread was unlocked this afternoon!
I would really really hate for her and her family to miss this!!!
Can anyone reach her? Send pm and regular mail, anyone who can call her, maybe?

xxx

Mariella

well i have now got a 12 year old boy vexed at me and pixiedust
has gone off upset,why?
the 12 year old because i didnt join him to the forum because despite
his love for meat i thought he was to young to join and pixiedust
because i wont put just her name forward without her brother, i was
going to wait outside so they would have a memory to last them
forever,so i put there names forward, worth a try but hey no go so
neither are talking to me now...ah well.
kezzina
good luck every one....

Where's there problem?
If you give me their real names I'll add them to the list.

Bigmomma
simple answer let pixiedust apply for her own and you apply plus guest as others have done thats all of you sorted then!

my two who went round shops and phoned stations with requests for their mum, haven't got the chance because the concerts they are going to aint on the list.

I think it is sorted now any way, i think he thought i wanted to go
in as well, i would let her apply only her email has gone on the blink
something my hubby has done on the computer, so they are in bed now
and i have sent my email address and there names and i will let them know tomorrow of the new events, if any....sorry R, my hubby is the
computer wizard not me, it is all strange to me.
kezzina
everyone keep youre fingers and everything else crossed for them...
is there no backstage passes for you, i thought that was going to
happen or shouldnt i belive everything i read, again? if not i really am sorry.

And what it does not say is that this is in anyway linked to the request and offer made on this forum.
Seems like it's up in the air and up for grabs 8O

I am sorry for you really sin, i thought i had read somewhere
that those of you that did this work were getting back stage passes.
but there is no way i would take up someone elses place on the
meet and greets (that is how i would feel) by applying in the way you
said others are.
knowing my children may have a chance is enough
for me, and if they are lucky and manage to meet him, seeing
there faces after will be everything i could wish for, so there are
few enough places, as meat is a very busy guy so i wouldnt dream
of taking someones chance.
I really do hope you do get a chance as you more than deserve it.
kezzina

Re: Dates
 

Hello, Meat!

Great to hear from you! I hope, you're ok and that your throat is better!

I'd like to take part in a Meet & Greet at November, 7th in Oberhausen.

I hope to meet you there!

Take care and lots of love!

Silvia
