Man of Steel Video
 

Just wondering if anyone had seen the video for MOS?? Interested what it was like that all!

I was really really dissapointed to see the blatently low quality of the single. 2 live versions are not enough to make people buy it even if £1.99 is unusually cheap! where were the b-sdies/vids/pictures etc?? Then again, COSIBM single was great but that did badly

no video. no promotion. nothing.

yeah even CHSIB had an advert in the daily newspapers the morning of its release but i saw nothing in the Sun or Daily Mirror this time. No advert on TV/Radio or anything

Re: Man of Steel Video
 

We really should have a screening for new members so we don't get idiots like this...

Right, if you actually read the news then you'd know there IS NO VIDEO and it might not be the best single from the album, but its still a million times better than the shit thats out there.

And the live tracks rule...

Be ~~~~ing thankfull there is a single at all... its very rare we get anything like this... two singles in 1 year... last time we had anything like this was 1995... 8 years ago...

If you're going to moan, then please make valid points!

Maybe we should have a screening for manners and respect for others too!

As other people have mentioned there is no known video for the Man Of Steel single. An advert did appear in some areas in the Mail On Sunday and Meat Loaf was booked to sing it on Children In Need last Friday but due to his recent illness this had to be cancelled. Flyers were also left on seats at the UK concerts which were played.

MOS
 

Mid week man of S. was #19

That's great news :D

Re: MOS
 

cool man, get yourself on top of the pops next week... :lol:

I remember with CHSIB the single emailing kasim informing him of the midweek position of 39 and it entered the chart at 31... lets hope for the same...

Sue... maybe so, but my posts are well liked by people here, i have an inbox to prove it

Great news about MOS :!:

Meat - hope you're feeling much better!! Hmmm - seems to me a nice turkey, dressing, and cranberry sandwich would make you feel so much better right about now!! :D

Debbi V

Right you are :) Great !!
Vicki

On my copies the two "B" tracks immediately follow the main track and include the great Love You Out Loud .. the poster is innovative and will have given many fans real pleasure, and I was not expecting a video for the reasons Meat had given ..

For £1.99 I'd say this was blatantly excellent quality!!! Great news re its mid-week position :) It's a great shame that Meat hasn't been able to be out and about promoting it .. but it makes a cracking Christmas card or small gift .. there's a lot we can do to help :)

Re: MOS
 

That's WONDERFUL - without promotion! :P

Love
Eva

Re: MOS
 

Wonderful news :D .

Hope you are feeling better :!: .

Shells

did the label go with its original idea of using pix of fans for the cover/ poster?... i'm curious...

congrats to Meat for chart placement...XO

Yes they did :) .. though they are naturally very small, and some are easier to make out than others .. but a novel idea ..

Love the sig :))

oh..VERY kewl ... thanks for the info luvvie... :D

:wink:

XO

:D Thanks for the info Meat #19 thats pretty good

YES! :bunny: Love this!

great news number 19 mid week lets hope it stays there or gets higher!

no need to be so rude. this is a public forum where people have every right to excersise free speech.
what annoys me though is that some people (a very small minority) are so narrow minded that they cannot see past the end of their own nose and the slightest critisism, no matter how valid, can only be retaliated with abuse as contradicting the points is not possible.

Personally I love the song and have bought the single but I am still entitled to belive that compared to his last few offerings this single offered nothing new to me thats all!

ICWUKE - I have been a member longer than you and read the forum daily. :wink:

No, I read the forum when I can be bothered because its mainly rubbish posted or people agreeing with other peoples posts with one line or two.

And granted, you've been a member longer, but i'm sure i've been reading longer. It took me a long time before i saw anything of interest to make me want to sign up and reply.

I agree that 19 is great news, but lets remember this is only mid week. CHSIB the album was number 1 at one point druning the mid weeks and ended up at a fantastic number 4. Whereas the single was number 39 and ended up a (slightly disapointing) number 31.

This really could go either way and I'm worried that we've all gone out and bought it in the first few days getting it to a 19 high and it will drop back down. But then again, it could go higher... which would be fantastic.

Hopefully I helped out a little this morning. I wasted £99.50 of my student loan on 50 copies of the single and handed them out free in the shopping centre here. Quite pleased of myself now :) Spend my £100 well mr loaf!!!

Re: MOS
 

Two great news in least that 7 words...

The first is to "read" again to Meat... and the 2º Meat tells it.

Glad that you're better.

Happy thanksgiving day and Christmas to everyone... :D

At http://www.meatloaf.de you can watch the complete Video to man of steel.
Its a very surprising video, but nice to see.

The Single will be realise in germany in january !

I found it in german version of the web... and I'm surprised...

I've just watched it and its really obsessive...

i only have 2 questions...

WHY THE HELL WASN'T THIS DONE SOONER??

and

WHY THE HELL HAS IT NOT BEEN PUT ON TV?

there is STILL time for this to get better...

at the main page of the site you can choose the language.

You can choose between english and german.

I like the Video its something different, but its more nicer to see Meat in person in the videos !

krolok,

You can't see the video in the english section.
Only in the german section.

Keep Rockin'
Eva

I swear its in the English section -- i believe that's where i saw it this morning when i saw Krolock's post about it. Its not in the video section but in the Community section, at least on the English version of the site anyway!

Jen S.

Oh yes!!!!
You are right!
I'm so sorry :oops: :oops: :oops:

Love
Eva

Re: Man of Steel Video
 

I know that i can be an asshole..... but you :twisted:

If you haven't noticed, the forums are so crowded, full of members who post double or triple double posts....
There ain't no way to look at everything, specially not with a 56k6 modem like me, so.... don't be so hard for some others.

The only person who can do that is me :twisted:

The Butcher.

Okay 'dude'... I know you're not English, but if you're going to 'Butcher' our language, please try a little harder. That made no sense at all.

My comments were valid... and check my other post before you moan at me... I don't see anyone else promoting the single in such a way and getting shit for it...

Now, try stop living on this forum and go play in the real world... okay?

Mid week man of S. was #19

Great to hear this meat

It was no 17 in my local woolworths and sold out, so im off in to town tomorrow to buy a copy

Debs

Got my copy. Go on man and enter top 10!!!!!!!!!!

8)

erm ok so im thick, where is it?

I'm not very good with the technical side. I found the web site ok and looked in video then I read you had to go to community but appears you have to be a member. Is this true?? Or am I looking in the wrong place.

Thanks to anyone who can help.

Love

Angelxxxx

(I'm sick of asking my 12 year old for help - she thinks I'm totally thick)
:roll:

Yes you have to be a member, wich is free....

When you enter community you have to register.
Then you can watch the vid if yoou have realone player.

It is quit unexpected, have only watched it once, not sure yet what i think off it, I watch it on my laptop, going to watch it again on my pc tomorrow....

Asha

I don't like the video at all. Perhaps I am to old for Mangas :? But I'm definatly absolutly NOT to old to ROCK :lol:
In my opinion the video has nothing to do with the song.
Don't misunderstand me: I like the song very much, but not the video
Iwill soon own the english single (thru Eva at the german board, Thanks Eva :P ) and will also buy the single in Germany to get Meat into the charts.

yeah, but come on, be honest, any video is better than no video... this video would have done well over here cos menga is 'in' and with it being a cartoon the kids would love it.

actualyl even thought its very very VERY different i think the video is excellent and makes an interesting change. it actually does have a lot to do with the song just not the singer!!

a point of note, i may have got abuse from certain other members for asking about the vid, but the intelligent people who visit this board actually helped me and because of us everyone got to see the video! result!

ICWUKE - THOUGHT YOU SAID THERE WAS NO VIDEO? COME ON APLOGISE, I KNOW U CAN DO IT ! :P

solutions not problems people. :lol:

Timnoble, I'm not sure who the "people" who "abused" you are? I saw only one.

You said of the UK release, where were the b-sdies/vids/pictures etc?? I said that on my copies the two "B" tracks immediately follow the main track and include the great Love You Out Loud .. the poster is innovative and will have given many fans real pleasure, and I was not expecting a video for the reasons Meat had given .. f
I also said that For £1.99 I'd say this was blatantly excellent quality!!!

I stand by that and do not consider there is a word of "abuse" contained therein, and the video to which you've been directed has not been released with the UK single.[/quote]

I promise I just got it from the English side!

ROCK ON ANIME VIDEOS!!!!

I could not agree with you more on this! To me, this all is very much about the whole of the song -not central to just the singer. The video is an amazing piece of work, as it forces you to not focus so much on who is singing the song, but rather what emotions and story is being told.

ROCK ON AWESOME VIDEOS!!!

Here in the UK, there is no video, that is for the German release and at my time of posting there was no video at all... in my view, there still in no video because it's not on our screens on the music stations...

Man Of Steel was released without a video... fact...

ok, I do agree: hopefully this video will attract the younger and they will buy the single.

b-sides = this means song on the single that have never been released by the artist before. songs that didnt make it onto an album. live versions arnt classed as a b-sides because those are not unrelased songs.

one thing i dont understand then - if the single gets into the top 40 and on the music stations they show clips from the video when doing a chart rundown, what exactly will they show if they dont show the cartoon thingy???

i dunno, i'm watching CD:UK whis does a top 20 run down of the sales positions so far and i'll let you know what happens...

Maybe a cartoon video has been rushed out because its going to make the charts and maybe his gay record company in the UK thought it wouldn't.

This should be handed out to the music video channels so more people see it.

I'll let you know if they list it in the top 20 today

Hehehe... think my English is allright.
By the way..... got a real name for you icpuke. :lol:

Not living on this forum, just living in the real world, and that is something i can't say from you.

The Butcher.

I like the vid for Man of Steel. Nice to see something different done on a Meat Vid & I think it could get some young 'uns into the song. It's just a shame that its for the German release rather than the UK one & its probably too late for us to use it for promotion here (unless its used on top of the pops or something).

Hope they put the vid on the German single as it may be worth getting for that (Realtime doesn't play too well on my PC).

You see puke? Is that you throwing up after realising what little your existance means to the world in any shape or form?

My real world is great, I enjoy it loads...

Anyway, I still think the vid should be give a shot over here on TV.

i agree Tim... i've never had any problem understanding your English... and though i must wag a finger at you for lowering yourself to that name calling business.... that SURELY came through loud and clear... :lmao:

at any rate...back to topic...yes...i agree that the toon vid is a good idea to get the younger generation to sit up to take a look and then a listen...

personally...altho i know it's a great expense as Meat explained...i would prefer to see Meat in a vid for the song.... that's just my girlie thang... :oops:

but then...i can create all the vids i want in my mind..at no expense at all... :lol:

look forward to hearing feedback about the response to the vid....

Hahahah... okay.

I'm not even gonna react to this. Too bad i ain't a mod anymore...

haven''t seen the vid about this. Hope it will be soon on tv.

The Butcher.

Shut up Tim! :evil:

Back on Topic: Its better by far to buy the single NEXT week.If everyones is gonna buy it NOW than it will drop from the charts.

Just looked at the video and I love it too tim


Debs

I love it too Deb ... I think it's very cool :)
Vicki

Ok, sorry im a bit slow. Is there a video for MoS? If so what is it? Where is it? Please explain.
Many Thanks,
Dick

Hi Dick

You'll find it in the video section in the community section on meatloaf.de :) It's very different !!

Vicki

Thanks for the advice, but sadly my pc is too sh1t to work that site, so could someone please let me know what its about?
Thanks,
Dick

You're welcome :) It's animated ... a love story between two people, with the song playing in the background. You don't see Meat at all .. which is very different for him ... but I think it conveys the emotion of the song :)

Vicki

I just saw the video. Your right, the video is different for Meat but it does convey the song :D

:( I can't see if

Do you have to subscribe?

I'll go check out the animated vid- Man of Steel (for the record- hey who keeps the record :lol: ) is my favorite song off the new album- it's sublime, I've ordered several copies of the single off of HMV as it is not yet available in Canada..

Such a great song!!

I tried subscribing but it didn't seem to ask for a password when signing up, but does ask for it when I try to go into the community thing :? :??: Also, is there anyway to get the newletter to be English not German? The closest I get to understanding German is being able to understand French, with France being near to Germany...

Luke - I had problems at first - but then I received 2 e mails (both in German) and the password was at the bottom of the second one. In the mean time I had sent an e mail to the site where it said if you have problems logging on etc. and I received another e mail in English with the password. The newletter received was in German though.

Hope this helps :?

Love

Angelxxx

:D the Man Of Steel video is on the webpage for the album. You must be registered in order to see it. Has anybody gone to that webpage and seen the video as of yet. I have yet to do so.

Yes I've been. It doesn't cost anything to join. The e mail is sent to you straight away. I have also received my first newsletter from them - which is very good. You can have it translated into English too.

The video is different but well worth a view.

Love

Angelxxx

have any of you been able to watch it without being registered to that site? I am registered just dont have my info lol. Meat is not in a video with his own daughter? I mean MOS is SUPPOSED TO BE a duet between them? Whose concept is it? Did Meat direct it? Is Pearl in it at all?

Oh, I've given up on trying to register in there, it's impossible!!!!!!!! :( Anyone who can read german? :roll:

I'm German and can translate it to you; but I think I don't need to because when you go to http://www.meatloaf.de you can choose between the german and the english version.
If I can help you more just post here or send me a PM

Yvonne

I like the video, always liked this animation kinda thing, it is nice to see that Meat has one like this. They edited the song tho :?
