I must have been 13 or 14 at the time, which was around 18-19 years ago, when I first heard Meat. My best friend was a huge fan of his and he had a huge number of his songs on his PC, I used to go round there a lot and he would play some of Meat songs among other things. Although I spent a good few years listening to his music round there, I don't think it was until 3 or 4 years later that I really got hooked, and again that was down to my best mate. He was getting some new CD's of Meats so he gave me his old tapes. The old tapes were Welcome To The Neighbourhood, Rock N Roll Heroes, and Bad Attitude. I listened to them a lot and became hooked. It snowballed from there and I listened to pretty much every album and song Meat ever recorded. I absolutely love it all and i'm not ashamed to admit that compared to all the other music I have in my collection Meat is and always will be No. 1. I must listen to him 95% of the time and everyone else 5%.
