We're STILL rocking after 25 years!
 

Who else really can say that they've been in the music industry for 25+ years? The 80's were alittle rough album wise, but the touring was great and was the great resurrection of "Bat". "Couldn't Have Said It Better" is a refreshing piece of work from a guy who doesn't make albums on the constant pace of other recording artists. The greatest quote I think is by Allen Kovac "Meat doesn't make albums, he makes events." I post on the Steinman site regularly and I think it's unfortunate that everything that Meat does gets constantly compared to the work of Jimmy. I mean, only Jimmy can top himself. To Meat I'd just like to say thanks for still ROCKING after all these years (not to make you feel old). Also, is there any way we could have "Hot Patootie" on the new tour? I saw you in concert January 2, 2003 at Hard Rock Live in Orlando and you were great and I can't wait to see you again. Meat's ear pieces broke in that show and I noticed that his ear pieces seem to break a lot, has anyone else noticed that? Anyway, I guess all I'm doing with this post is basically kissing Meat's ass, but atleast I hope he gets a kick out of it.
I love yah Meat!

Artists that have been in the music industry 20-25+ Years:
U2, Def Leppard, Status Quo, Red Hot Chili Peppers (Almost), David Bowie (Almost 30 years), Blondie, Depeche Mode (Again almost), Annie Lennox.

Sorry to get all preachy. Meat rocks though.

I think we should include bands aswell :lol:

Rolling Stones!enough said

The Who are still around!

Aerosmith! :lol: Is it just me, or is Steven Tyler hot? :roll:

Ahum, was merely stating that we shouldn't forget the bands, not that we actually had to name them all 8O :twisted:
:lmao:

Ok, so there are quite a few artists and bands that have been in the music industry for 25+ years, but I was merely trying to say that it in itself is quite an accomplishment.
ROCK ON MEAT!

But I agree Evan, i have saaid it before, Great performers last for decades!

Asha

U2 - doesnt meat hate U2, im sure a read that somewhere

You look at all these groups that have lasted all these years and you can say one thing, there classics, and will never leave - take bat for instance

Evan said re Meat's concert in Orlando last January:
Yes, that was a great concert .. and I seem to recall Meat said his cans had broken when he slipped and sat on them earlier .. something to the effect that when 240 plus pounds fall on a set of cans they BREAK!! :))

If you count Meat's time with Popcorn Blizzard/Meat Loaf Soul/Floating Circus, he's been in the music industry about 35-40 years (depending on when that started).

I s'pose so. But that's merely a technicality. I mean most of the bands I mentioned were probably in the business in one way or another for years before they made it. Depeche Mode is a perfect example. They were performing for years as No Romance In China. But I digress.

I hereby apologise for hijacking this thread. I'm turning into a thread pirate. 8O Arrrr! Polly want a cracker!
