The Bat Lives
 

Thought this was a really good interview :-)

...it covers two octaves, has been taken down from F to E (both of which aren't anything to be ashamed of :shrug:), and you don't play anything that has an actual basis in real music theory/structure on Guitar Hero, so the weird chords are sort of irrelevant. Surely the issue was the length of the songs more than anything, I can't see the crowd that Guitar Hero attracts being interested chained to one song for ten or more minutes :lol:

I did like the rest of the interview :up: It was just that bit that I had to comment on, because he's said it before - it wasn't true then (the first part of the quote), and it's not any truer now, no matter how impressive it sounds >.>

I haven't heard this before. What possible issue could anyone have with Anything For Love outside of the length (which can be shortened for a single release anyway) :shock:

This is a bit saddening, although it'd be cool if Meat actually did make it to 100. Another 41 movies that'll be worth checking out :D

Thanks for sharing Vicki!

"Now 64, Meat Loaf says he's about ready to call it a day. He says he has gigs lined up through 2013, but after that he plans to focus on his acting career".

:( :( :(

This kind of overshadows the rest of the article really.

Although this is not the first we've heard of this it doesn't mean it's any easier to hear. :( :( :(

That just means we need to enjoy what we have guys! No need for despair! He will return. He even said he does it for US. so lets continue to support HIM while he is still out there and give him all the love and passion he gives us!

Rock ON!,

You're welcome :D

I MIGHT be daft...but what?

She is saving money to get to a show. She lives in Australia, so she'd have to travel to get to one. She's starting her concert fund! :D

AH! Sorry! I'm a bit...slow lately.....Forgive ME!

You sure? Sporty Melon might be a goalkeeper for a really bad at defending football team

What happened to the private jet for the U.K. shows? I already have the bag packed.:O

Not Reina?

I dunno, the most requested bands on Guitar Hero (In this case Rock Band as the track in question, Paradise, was released on Rock Band as DLC) are Dream Theater and Rush. Both bands have had tracks released for the game and both bands have songs, especially in the case of Dream Theater which tend to be longer than and more complex than Meats.

I know Rock Band did have a limit of about 10 minutes for tracks but that has been broken since the release of Rush's 2112 and since the first title was released plenty have came near to it.

It was the early 90s, a time when Rock Music was having the excess trimmed out of it again much like it did in the late 70s/early 80s when people embraced Punk and got fed up of bands like Yes or ELP and bands like Genesis moved towards a more pop sound. The early 90s gave way to bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, etc, Anything For Love in terms of Lyrics, sound, length went against all the trends at the time. It emphasized excess in a time when excess was being cut out.

Someone older than me who was old enough at the time to remember the state of the industry might be able to fill in more details but based on what I've read about the history of music it would went against a lot of the trends of the time.

Wish I could multi-quote on my phone!

Yes I'm saving to fly over for the UK tour, I've already been saving for a few weeks, and if I can save that same amount every few weeks I'll be well on my way!

The UK is very expensive at the moment. Oh yes, tough times. I'm not sure you will have time to save up before Meat tours here. So, to avoid disappointment, may I suggest you spend your hard-earned cash on something else. Maybe some slip fielding lessons?

Keep saving .. I'm looking forward to your visit :D

Keep going, you can do it and you're going to have a great time. :)

I can't wait to meet you. :)

Cost of flight, hotel, concert, drinks, food, programmes, taxis, sight-seeing trips and melon's sundries. Not worth it. ;)
