Wow what a cool thread!

The very first time I heard Meat Loaf I was about three or four and I figured out how to use my mum's tape player! I turned it on and the orchestral part of For Crying Out Loud came belting out and scared the hell out of me! Then when I was six, I found the tape again and started to listen to it, and I really liked, then in 1993 when I was seven - Meat released Bat II - and I didn't like it!! I know!! I really wasn't keen at all. It went to Number One in the charts so it was played all the time everywhere I went and it started to grow on me. LOL One of my clear memories from that time is being in the town with my mum and she bought me a copy of the Bat II album because "There's no point in wasting money on something you're not going to like in two weeks time!" How wrong can a person be?!
So I got the album and well...the rest is history! Meat did loads of interviews and promotional stuff on TV, so I started to collect the pieces from newspapers and magazines and taping him when he was on TV. And I guess that was the beginning of that crazy feeling of obsession!!! I slowly but surely started to collect the albums, got the calendar and along with my best friend, and it was with her that I decided I needed a life ambition ( I was nine at the time! lol ) and my ambition was to see Meat live. I used to live in Stockton in Teesside where no-one ever went so I thought that was a pretty good ambition!! And it was, until April 26th 1996 when I had my very first live Meat experience - and what an experience it was! While I was there, I bought my first concert programme and T-Shirt, the things you dont find in the shops so I started to search for more rare Meat Loaf items.
And the slow process of my collection steadily growing continued until 1998 - when I joined the MLUKFC. For anyone who is reawding this and isn't a member, I've gotta ask - why?!!! I can honestly say that after being a member for almost four years now, I can't think of one single thing to moan about. Oh!! I thought of just ONE thing!!! The only thing I can think of is that through the MLUKFC I hae made some of the best friends a person could ask for - and we don't get to see each other as often as we'd like! And that's my only thing to winge about! Thanks to the MLUKFC Ive made alot of brilliant friends, MET MEAT, had the oppertunities to purchase those rare items that you can never seem to find...the list goes on!
And now, I'm 16 and am pretty much desperate for this new album!!!!
