1995. The release of "I'd Lie For You". I was only 9 at the time and I asked my dad to buy me "Welcome To The Neighbourhood" for christmas. Instead, he bought the "I'd Lie For You" single and the "Bat Out Of Hell" album, telling me that his old stuff was even better.
The rest is history. I'm a Meat Loaf lover for life. Even though it makes me an outsider at 16 and into music performed by a guy in his fifties instead of the crap that tops the charts nowadays, I just don't care what other people think.
Which brings me to another point. I know it would be a fantastic feeling for Meat to get another No1 in his career, but why are us Meat fans so hooked upon what the rest of the world thinks about Meat?! I find myself getting angry at critics who slate Meat's records and then I stop and think, "Why do I care what this knobhead thinks?!!" We should just love Meat for who he is and for his music he makes and not worry about the rest of the world appreciating him the way we do.
Went a little bit off topic there didn't I?!! Anyway, hope you agree with what I had to say!
Yours, Greavzyboy
