PITP Press/magazine interviews
 

We've seen some press coverage of this, but Mercury's Head of Press has told me that around Party In The Park, they arranged and Meat did interviews with the Radio Times, Evening Standard, Uncut Magazine, The Face Magazine and Waitrose Magazine, so these are things to watch out for .

I don't recall seeing anything in the RT .. whether this means not all the interviews get printed or that it was too late for their press deadline and may still be printed ...

And I now have this great vision of Meat in Waitrose with a trolleyload of CDs exhorting all to buy :))

Thanks for the info! I'm away for two weeks from Saturday. Can you all please do me a big favour and if any of these articles show up get me a copy and I'll sort out cost postage when i'm back!

Hopefully I wont end up with 25 copies of each :lol: but even so you cant get enough Meat!

I'd be interested to see what the Waitrose one is 8O I wouldn't mind getting him in my trolley :twisted:

Sin .. I've written to each magazine to ask if/when the articles will be published .. I'll post any information I get .. and if any hit the counters while you're away I'll get you a copy :)

Hi Everyone, its nice to join and to be here.

While on this subject I was pretty bored last night with me not being a David Dickinson Fan and all , and flicking through the latest edition of 'Now' and there on page 68 is a two page 'reader's question' interview with Meat. Pretty cool, with some very funny answers.

oops, forgot this too
 

Hi, forgot to mention there is a bit about Meat in the 'Culture' supplement of Sunday 13th Times. Its a preview of the highlights show of PITP. It reads....

'If you missed last weeks live Hyde Park extravaganza, this two hour compilation from this year's PITP for the Princes Trust is the usual charity tombola of ill-mixed chart stars, from the petite country rocker Shania Twain to Britain's own material boys and girls, Big Brovaz, Atomic Kitten, Craig David and the infinitely punchable public-school 'rockers' Busted provide the vacuous filler while the real class comes not from any royal connections, but from the appearance of the rock-opera behemoth Meat Loaf. He will be gone when the morning comes, so enjoy him now.'

Nice review.

Great review. What's a "behemoth"? 8O

Nice one, Invocation!! Thanks for sharing!

And welcome!! Good to have you here! :bunny:

Love,
MB

ps: Louise, I found these two definitions for "behemoth" in my dictionary:

1. Someone or something that is abnormally large and powerful

2. A person of exceptional importance and reputation

Both apply, I guess. For Meat, I prefer the second one, though! :mrgreen:

Thanks for that, MB :D The second definition is definitely more flattering!
(great word, though!)

I've always rather liked the Miriam Webster definition:
a mighty animal described in Job 40:15-24 as an example of the power of God .. fits the Meat's on-stage persona to a T imo :)

That's the best one, Caryl! :lol:

Thanks Caryl

PM/email me if you get any and I'll contact you regarding payment.

I keep thinking about Waitrose :lmao: maybe they'll do a trolley dash with Meat as the prize :mrgreen:

I've got the craziest pictures in my head now of Meat sat in a shopping trolley with Sin pushing him out the door! :mrgreen:

LOL, now that would be something to see!!!
Thanks for all the magazine interview information everyone. I'm going to go on a magazine hunt tomorrow.

I Couldn't Have Said It Better Myself Cathie :))
If you find out anything about the magazines, please let us know!!
Thanks :)

So far I've only had a reply from the Radio Times who say they "don't have any details when it will appear at the moment. It would have to belinked to a broadcast item on tv or radio." .. and as they missed the boat with the issues which listed PITP and the Russell Watson programme, it doesn't seem likely to feature in the near future :(

Oh shoot :(
Thanks for the update Caryl

Thanks Caryl, wish RT had got their act together.
I brought Now magazine to get hold of the readers questions to Meat Loaf that Invocation was talking about (just want to point out that this is not a magazine i would usually buy). It has a full page photograph of Meat plus a page of readers email questions to him.

I cant get it, cant find it anywere, dont surpose any1 wud take a pic of it and send it to me, or even type it wud be nice, thanks so much

If anyone wants copies, let me know what you want I'll send you what I have.

Have just heard back from Waitrose.
One to look forward to :))

Good to hear that the interview went in but waiting until November????
I have a non existant memory, I'll never remember that. Why can't the interview come out sooner?
Don't suppose there's any word of that trolley dash in the reply they sent you?

i'll remind you dont worry :)

Good good Testify :wink:
Thanks for keeping us updated Caryl

November sounds like a good time to me .. publicity just when Meat's touring and the next single release is due. It might be nice for us now, but wouldn't be the best time to promote imo

True.
Something to look forward to I guess. :)
Cheers.
