You are a true Meat Loaf fan...
 

in the german Meat forum is a very funny topic, so I decided to start it here also (since I am an active member only for one month, I hope there was no topic like that before. If there was one, please close this one).

So let's start:

you are a true Meat Loaf fan...

-when your boyfriend looks like that :roll: at the same moment you start talking about Meat (even when there are such important things like: Meat having the same heart-disease as yourself)
- when everybody who visits you in your appartment at first turns down the volume of your music
- when even your cell phone plays Meat (not talking about the Meat-pics as background of your cell)
-when you'll soon need another harddrive for your computer, because the first one is full of Meat-Pics (thanks to the ladys from "one for the girls")
-when your PC is nothing but a Meat Loaf Altar:background, screensaver, winampskins, endless playing of all your CDs stored as mp3,...
-when your boyfriend as an answer to your description of the superb opening of the first concert after the heart-surgery only says: the goal was shot by Roy Makaai (soccer player of a famous german soccer team) from a distance of only 5m
- when even your patients were asking you, if Meat has played the show on tuesday, december 2nd
- when you went up earlier in the morning, so you can check the web for the latest Meat news, before you have to leave the house at 7am
- when talking about somebody you can't remeber the name at the moment and therefore just saying:"the someone", your boyfriend automatically thinks you were talking about Meat Loaf- but this time you HAVE talked about someone else!
By the way: I would never ever forget Meats name
:lol:

I fit 7 of those :lol:

My family is in no doubt who my favourite is - we drove from Kent to Killarney in Southern Ireland back in the summer (what a journey!!). As I had been left to load the car, I also loaded the 6 CD thingy in the boot with 6 Meat Loaf albums! As the car was so packed (and what a shame the CD thingy couldn't be got at :D ), they had a short course on Meat Loaf appreciation!! Mother's revenge for being left to do the donkey work I say! Shame too that I couldn't find any decent radio channels whilst we were stuck on the M25 for hours and when we were driving through Wales!

'Him Indoors' is also moaning that I never clean out the inside of the car either, so I did before our holiday, and just happened to remove all other CD's from the glove compartment for good measure!

i like it keep on rocking, i have the same problem, is it normal for
people to get so bored do you think?
my hubby is threatning to sabotage my pics that are on the computer
with some thing on paintshop pro, that can make meats face look all
weird.... :( dont think he would dare, he has to sleep sometime....
the teachers at the kids school have even had a crash course on meat
from the kids, and the other kids in the school, oh dear :twisted:

fan
 

Oh keep rocking...... :lol:

Re: You are a true Meat Loaf fan...
 

How about when you leave a message on your answering machine saying

Quote = my answering machine.
:oops:

And yes.Bat is also my ring tone :lol:

- when even your pets can meow, bark or chirp the melodies of meat-songs (ok, when my cat tries, it doesn't sound like meat-songs but it tries hardly, when I play meat at home :D ) or the fishes move their fins in time with the music
- when you have a really loud "beep" in your ear after a concert but you don't care and you try to get in frontrow again a few days later, still hearing this "beep", because you want to be as near to the stage as you can (fortunately it disappeared a few days later, puhh!)

KR
Miriam

- when you force your 15yr old daughter to watch Meat on the Biography channel (saying corr :!: - ain't he lovely) :D

- when your only topic of conversation at work, after a concert is Meat (for weeks afterwards) 8)

- when your husband calls you sad, as you kick the daughter off the computer at 9pm to get onto the site for the latest on the forum & enter the chat room :x

- when you spend your lunch hour listening the Meat's music :D

- when you have posters all over the wall of the office, next to your desk :lol:

when your nephews first words are not mom or dad but meat loaf

when your friends threaten to gag you if you force them to listen to meat loaf one more time whilst ranting on about all the latest news on his tour etc just because you feel the need educating

when you think that all your friends are sad because they dont like/love meat loaf
or
they think you are sad because YOU like/love meat loaf

Your boyfriend falls out with you because everytime he comes round he has Meatloaf 'shoved in his face'

You get dirty looks from people in the bar for playing all the songs on meatloaf 'which can work out quite expensive' and actually get called Meatloaf in one pub

Kaz and draconia I agree.
Also when u sing meat loaf every yr at talent contests and karaokes and 2 kids lov calling u meatloaf and making up whacky stories. Your ex keeps going on about a 6mnth old conversation about meat loaf!!!

I like this one, ladyloaf :lol: :lol:

[-wow, you get that too 8) glad someone else gets that :P

When your grown up sons disown you in HMV when you ask the 12 year old serving where the Meat Loaf section is ? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Rosie

when you realise that you are talking to no one as so called friends
have walked of because you'r talking about meat loaf AGAIN :roll:

When you can't go into HMV without looking at the Meat Loaf section (although you know that they haven't got anything you don't already have :lol: ), and then feel compeled to make sure all the albums are in the right place :oops: .

hi everybody :D when my 66year old mother asks if there are any new meatloaf cds :D i would like for my christmas and she will be happy to go in to the record shop for it :D (hang on i am showing my age here record??shop) :D i have the ring tone on my mobile too :lol: and the mini posters. the cassette is permanantly in the car. 8) :D :lol:

When you are shopping at K-mart and you get excited to hear " You Took The Word..." over the intercom and you forget where you are at. You start to yell and sing the words to it just as if you were at a concert. At the end of the song there is a crowd watching you and telling you not to quit your day job.

Sherry

When...
you walk into a store and find CHSIB on the bottom of the endcap display of new releases. Then you switch CHSIB w/ some crappy pop star's CD to put Meat at eye level. Meanwhile, the wife, big Meat fan, runs off and pretends not to know you. And security proceeds to follow you thru the store!

Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do,
T

when .....

Your bestest, bestest friend hires a Meat Loaf lookalike to sing / perform at your wedding reception ... oh, what a wonderful day that was!

when .....

Every business contact you have even those annoying tele-sales people, know months in advance that you won't be in the office on a certain day as you will be going to a Meat Loaf concert .... and don't expect any sense out of you for a few days after!

when ......

You set mlukfc.com as your home page .......

Could list pages, but don't want to hog the web!!

- when you refuse to go to the Xmas party unless they have a selection of Meats songs. (mine tonight) will thro' my toys out the pram if they do not play at least 2 songs - lol :D

wHEN...

Your mother points out that all of your bf's have shared a vague similarity to a certain long haired singer

your coworkers supply "something about Meat Loaf?" when you can't remember what you were going to say to them

You smile at the grocery store and chuckle to yourself because you see a package of 'Meat Loaf seasoning'

People say "NO MORE MEAT LOAF!" when it's your turn to pick a CD at a party

People remember you from highschool as 'that chick who never stopped talking about Meat Loaf'


:lol: I've experienced most of the others people have posted thus far...

When you can't go into HMV without looking at the Meat Loaf section (although you know that they haven't got anything you don't already have :lol: ), and then feel compeled to make sure all the albums are in the right place :oops: .[/quote]

When your out to Xmas lunch like I was with Scotty and Roys family last Sunday, and everyone else is singing carols, and your asked to sing something of Meat Loafs, (but I dried up) :oops: or when friends come to our BBQ in the summer, and they know for sure I'll be playing a lot of Meat Loaf, Um am converting a few people slowly but surely.

Or when the pupils at school ask 'Miss where's your jacket with the Meat Loaf Badges'

And Mousie, I do exactly that, I know full well I have everything of Meats, but cann't resist placing his cd's to the front of the display, and then informing the assistants, 'you've only one left etc.,' best make sure you place some more out'

Um almost forgot I also go to bed with Meatie my teddy with his Meat Loaf T-Shirt, bought for me by a lovely lady on this Forum in U.S.A.

Also nearly forgot most of the records placed on the juke box are Meat Loafs too :twisted:

Glad to see that I'm not the only one :lol:

true stories
 

When...

You go to a pub and you spend all your coins on the jukebox to watch the CHSIB video at least ten times...

You come back home to see your parents and remember to visit the local cd store where you used to go as a teenager and the store manager recognises you after 7 (!) years and says: "Are you still in this Meat Loaf thing?" - you nod and then "I have something for you!" 8)

You try to convert all your family without success and finally, while watching Meat performing 2 Out Of 3 for the twentieth time, mom says "It's beautiful... can you translate it for me?" :lol:

Your brother doesn't want to hear Meat anymore - he's a hip hop fan! :roll: - 'cause he says (in his own words) "Meat sings TOO LOUD"! :twisted: (really?)

Your sister is fed up and tells you to stop talking about Meat and you say "Have you already forgotten Happy Bob in Zurich ?" and she smiles... 8)

Your mom tells you "You are in love with Meat Loaf!" and you respond "Mom... you know I love you... but you don't understand a thing about ROOOOOOOOCK 'N' ROOOOOOOOOLL!!!!!!!" :oops:

and so on...

I thought I was the only one to do that!!!! :lmao:

well... maybe not! :nuts:

LostSoul, FM & others,
sounds like there's a lot of us doing this. :!:

Here's some more...

When...
you go to tape the DirectTV showing of the Mexican concert at your 97 yo Grandma's...and she wants to watch it to see what you are into!

both sets of our parents (60s & 70s) ask us...what happened to Meat Loaf (after the collapse).

you tell someone you are taking a trip and they respond...is there a Meat Loaf concert there?

you decide to forego your winter escape to sunny Mexico to go to London in Jan., because Meat is playing there!

ROCK ON MEAT LOAF FANS! :wink:
T

the best one yet for me is we once had a friend who looked like mr loaf :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: and as you can guess his nick name was meat loaf
but he was sad because he didnt like meat loaf and i found all the songs and done him a tape now he does like meat loaf :twisted: :twisted:

Riiiiiight... and the question is: do we need a shrink? :?

One more:

When you read all articles about Meat on the web and you find one describing him in a so disrespectful way that makes you want to kill the journalist :evil:
and instead you send him an e-mail telling him how ignorant he is and how he should at least make a research and listen to Meat's music 'cause apparently he doen't have the slightest idea what is talking about!!!

but finally you advise him not to listen to Meat's work 'cause HE DOESN'T DESERVE IT! (yes... I did it! :oops: )

[quote="shadow1000001"]I've done that too. It's so much easier. Also got BOOH as my ring tone on my mobile.

one more
 

When you're telling your best friends how you managed to go to the very front of the arena.
You waited for hours before the doors were opened, then you rushed like a bat out of hell to the barrier!
You were so close that when Meat approached, roaring like an angel, his sweat reached everyone in the front! INCLUDING YOU!

and your friends respond in chorus: "yuk!" :? :? :?

and you say: "noooo, it was so cooooool!" 8)

...hmmm... Zurich...1994... :oops:

I did this also. The store didn't have any CHSIB on the endcap with the new releases. So I not only put some in the new release section, but also in the #1 slot in the top 10 section.

How about when -- you meet someone for the first time and after 1/2 hour they look at you and say" Yeah, you do look like a Meat Loaf fan."

Lost Soul said: Yup- St Petersburg, FL 1989. My husband shudders when I tell him that story (could be because I always say "did I tell you about that time Meat Loaf sweat all over me?" 8O :lol: ) However, it was a hella hella thrill for me- one that I'd love to repeat some day!

I wish :!: :!: :!:

would love to be that close to "The man" :wink: :wink:

:roll: When you tell the DJ at a party to play some meatloaf and your the only one left dancing and your mates are all hiding in the corner. :oops:

:wink: when your bat out of hell CD has been played so many times that you have to buy another copy because it wont play anymore :D

When you go to bed at 9 p.m. and put your clock ringing at 2 a.m. to be sure to wake up and read the fresh gig's reviews... 8)

hmm, what time is it btw? :oops:

I'll own up as well MLUKFC is my home page as well, it is MY laptop after all :lol: :lol: :lol:

ONLY ONE MORE NIGHT SHIFT EVER TO GO

:lol: :lol: :lol:

ROSIE

This is allways so when people pay a visit to me... hahaha. Even if it ain't Meat Loaf music, they still must turn the volume down.

Re: You are a true Meat Loaf fan...
 

I have BOOH, AFL and CHSIB as my ringtones - tis fab cos i get to choose the music to suit my moods.

oh i totally know that feeling!

Me too!!

ONLY ONE MORE NIGHT SHIFT :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Rosie

SEE!!!

I always have to explain to people why I own several copies of the same Meat Loaf album- even when the old cd wont play- you have to keep it for nostalgia purposes!!!

and alternate releases of the cd (with different live tracks!!)

And you have to own the vinyl for nostalgia purposes

and the picture disc vinyl

...and the tapes

Okay- so I have a FEW copies of each album... :lol:

But you guys understand, RIGHT????!!!!

- when your two cats sleep totally relaxed directly next to your speakers when playing Meat Loaf on your cd-player (usually they always get alerted when theres only a little noise and I play Meat's music not "little" :twisted: )

Yes, I've gone through several *more 13* albums and I need to replace them, but they still play for now.
But I've got a few:
*When this one lady has decided your name is Loafie
*When you see your grandmother for Christmas and she tells you to not talk about Meat Loaf
*When you slowly convert your friends to Loafism and your other friends say "you'll never take me alive!"

:lol: :lol: :lol:

WOS- my nickname throughout all of highschool was Loaf.

Welcome to the club! :lol:

I just love this thread. You are all wacked...and make me feel so normal now. :nuts:

Here's one for the Meat/Kasim fans...
when you mention Kasim's new album, Quid Pro Quo and say..well you know him, he's Meat's Music Director. They are still like :??: .

Yeah Kasim Sulton, he used to be in Utopia w/ Todd Rundgren, played w/ Hall & Oates, Joan Jett...still :??:

I tell ya, some people just don't know sheet about good music and great musicians! JMHO

T

Oh! yes! some1 else that feels their friends need to learn that the best music to listen to is meat and tries to convert their friends whilst their friends try and find the easiest and fastest exit out of the room!

When you buy each and every album on which Meat performs...
even The Glory Of Gershwin on which Meat sings "Somebody Loves Me".

funny song by the way...

At least your friends let you listen to Meat... mine don't! :evil:
They use to change the CD... without asking! :evil: :evil: :evil:

no way- that sucks!
my friends can't use my cd player so they cant change the cd! :D

a funny one!

When you ask the 18 years old cdstore seller for Meat's new releases and he says: 8O "Who?"
and you say: :? "Bat Out Of Hell!?... 1?...2?...CHSIB?"
he looks at you: 8O

and you feel compeled to explain to this young man who Meat Loaf is!!! :lol:

Anyway, it's weird, 'cause some of them do not know what Meat sings (except AFL) and once they listened to another song they are curious and they use to ask "What is that?" and once you say :D "Meat Loaf!" they respond 8O "oh, okay, I see..." - just like "no thanx!" :(

they cannot admit they liked it!
you just can't listen to Meat without reacting! im-po-ssi-ble! :wink:

When the staff in MVC, and the local redocrd shop and HMV and WHSmiths get so used to you surrepticously moving the meatloaf albums to the main display that they folow you as soon as you walk into the store!!

Or when the nice lady in MVC (who is also a mat fan) sees you walking in adn switches hte instore music to CHSIB until you leave the store!!!!

Or when customers ring up the shop to complain about the paperboy whistling/singing meat at 6am when delivering the paper. And you don't tell them it wasn't the paperboy, it was you!!!!! :oops:

EDIT
====

Forgot to add:

When you are willing to spend your day off driving to liverpool and back just to meet fellow meat fans (who turn out to be really cool peeps!!)

Or when you spend your day off doijng a 2 hour round trip to run someone to a concert in exchange for a ticket!!!

Am I doing this? Yup... :)) nevermind I'm on topic!

another one:

When you go to the movies without knowing that Meat is supposed to play in that film (happens all the time!) and then once he appears you get so excited - and no one around to tell it - that you just miss his part!
so, you have to come back and watch the film again! :P

The funny thing is that it's working! Slowly, one by one, they're falling under my influence and starting to like Meat Loaf and go and buy his music.

Well I go to bed with my very own Meatie Teddy Bear, complete with T-Shirt :lol: :oops:

I watched Salton Sea 3 times because I kept missing his part :oops:

Dottie said: Aye, me too Dottie! :lol: (Though you got to be in bed with the real item, which is still far too cool to believe!)


Sherrie

When you go see a Meat movie and when he first shows up you yell quite loudly woo hoo. I actually did this... twice :oops: :lol:

You move in with your sister and she tells you if she hears Meat Loaf one more time she's going to throw you out.

You have named your new kitten Loafie :D

and last but not least you started a scrapebook when you first became a fan and anyone who asks about it gets a 2 hour history lesson complete with song samples wheather a radio is near by or not.

Not that I've done any of these hehehe 8) :D

Love and Peace
Phoeba

Your friend comes to pick you up to go to university and has bat out of hell playing full blast in the car, cos she knows how much you like Meat :D

I admit it: Bat Outta Hell is my ringtone.
_ When U are tempted 2 name 2 male budgies Meat Loaf/Steinman but your parents dont approve.
- u r told M.L is not allowed in the house(music)
quote:" WE ARE SICK FED UP OF LISTENING TO MEAT LOAF SWITCH TO SOMETHING ELSE, HES NOT ALLOWED IN THE HOUSE" Really?? Try and stop me!!

-A friend shows a cute gutair teach. the count down in your diary.
_ The gutair teach. said 2day "What would u do if he turned up on your doorstep? Chuck him out?" NO WAY he could come in all he wants once my crying and screaming has stopped.

_ entire class gets a full history lesson on meat loaf by u.

Last but not least:
U REALISE U WILL PROBABLY BE THE ONLY 15YR OLD KID THERE WITH A BIT OF CARD SAYIN NEVERSTOPROCKIN.COM AND UR GRAN SAYS"hE MIGHT NOTICE U AND SAY HI!!!" (I wish,he might on 30th of jan but i doubt it)

hugs

2004 can only become a good year for me, because the first song I heard on my favourite radio station after looking to the firework was BAT OUT OF HELL (no doubt: by then everybody in the room knows that I'm a true ML fan :wink: )

Wow, that is a sign from the God's!!! Yes, a true ML-fan, No Doubt about it!

Thank you for putting a smile to my 'already smiling' face!

...first song I heard was Hot Fudge by Robbie Williams...O dear :lol:

Great day to you,

Mariella

... when half of your DVD collection consists of Meat-DVDs.

As my movie collection is still growing Meat has to release more DVDs, so he can still hold his percentage :twisted:
