Meat Loaf FAN or MANIAC?

Wild_Honey · 29 May 2003, 15:28

Hi guys,

just found this and thought it might be some fun!

***********************************
"You got to cry without weeping,
Talk without speaking,
Scream without raising your voice..." (U2)
***********************************

Fan: You know all the lyrics to all the songs.
Maniac: You can identify each song, album, and track number within the first 10 seconds of a song.

Fan: At a fair, you notice with disappointment that a poster booth has no Meat Loaf pictures, so you quietly walk away.
Maniac: Upon reaching the aforementioned booth you ask the guy running it if they have any Meat Loaf. If he responds with 'Meat Loaf? He’s OLD.' your friends have to restrain you from throttling him. Violently.

Fan: You enjoy listening to bootlegs.
Maniac #1: You cheer after every song when listening to a boot.
Maniac #2: You call out song requests when listening to boots, regardless of the set list on the back.

Fan: You know Meat’s real name.
Maniac: You know Meat’s mother’s maiden name.

Fan: You wear your favourite Meat Loaf shirt to his concerts.
Maniac: You wear Meat Loaf shirts (exclusively) everyday...concert or no.

Fan: You have Meat Loaf wallpaper for windows
Maniac: You have Meat Loaf posters all over your actual window.

Fan: You read Meat Loaf books
Maniac: You write Meat Loaf books (that never get published)

Fan: You like the way "Meat Loaf" looks on paper.
Maniac: You like the way "Meat Loaf" looks on your skin....after you have gotten it tattooed into your ankle.

Fan: You know where Meat lives.
Maniac: The reason you know where Meat lives is because you are hiding in his bushes.

Fan: You recognise the first few bars (or notes!) of Bat Out Of Hell immediately.
Maniac: You hear those notes from another room, throw down the book you're reading, spill your drink and dart about trying to find the source. You then watch an entire TV show about cricket (or something worse) because of their use of the first 4 bars or so of the aforementioned song.

Fan: Every time you read something about Meat's next release/s half of you is worried and the other half is delighted. You ponder the situation until delight cancels out concern
Maniac: You find out something new about Meat's next release/s and your mind starts spinning. You find yourself arguing both sides back and forth. Aloud. On a busy city train.

Fan: Every night you pray to thank God for Meat Loaf.
Maniac: There's no need to thank God for Meat Loaf, because Meat Loaf IS God.

Bit of both

White of High · 29 May 2003, 15:55

I think I'm "only" fan.
If we are maniacs than it isn't MLUKFC. It would be MLUKMC!

meatmadpat · 29 May 2003, 16:25

Same as Flying Mouse ,some of both

Ben · 29 May 2003, 17:54

yeah a bit of both for me!

tukayaway · 29 May 2003, 20:24

Mostly maniac! But then, I am a little twisted...

Jen · 29 May 2003, 20:25

A bit more fan than maniac here

Testify · 29 May 2003, 20:39

Bit of both i think

Chris · 29 May 2003, 21:30

Slightly more manical than fan!!!!!

Now where's my camoflage gear and long range camera lens!!

Testify · 29 May 2003, 21:33

original sin · 29 May 2003, 22:48

martha_mae · 30 May 2003, 00:18

Well, a little of both, but these two did hit home. When I went to purchase Meat's autobiography, the lady at the shop said "Isn't he dead?", that's when I said nevermind, and bought the book at another shop.

I've also been threatening for years to get a Bat tatooed on my ankle and this last winter came very close. Didn't do it, couldn't have it done, hate needles. Maybe someday.

ABH · 30 May 2003, 10:48

I,m more fan than a maniac. Used to be the other way around a couple of years ago

AnneBeth

Asha · 30 May 2003, 15:56

Well it depends wich discription you take, for one I'm a fan, for another a maniac....

does that then qualify as a bit of both?

Well, guess so...
Yep, bit of both for me here...

Asha

heat · 31 May 2003, 11:22

Ohh-errrr....i'm definately a bit of both

At times i seem to lean towards the Maniac in me...but hey...is that really such a bad thing????

p.s. - hafta admit - i'm really sad, and have a Meat t-shirt for every day of the week

mariella · 01 Jun 2003, 13:07

I really don't collect anything.

But AM a Maniac, no doubt about that...

Mariella

CarylB · 01 Jun 2003, 14:03

Like White of High, I'm a fan .. a devoted fan and a long time one. My friends would say I'm obsessed, but acknowledge it's a magnificent obsession .. I work pretty much full time on the ROL website .. but can't say any of the Maniac descriptions really applied fully.. and some, like bootlegs and branding never, ever would

heat · 01 Jun 2003, 22:50

You guys are probably gonna think i'm really really sad

but my Meaty dream is to have Meat Loaf autograph my shoulder with a perminent marker, and to then have that tattood over - so i'd have a lasting momento of him.

Hafta admit - i love tattoo's anyways, i already have four, so one more aint gonna make much difference

Does this qualify me for maniac status then, or what? :P

mariella · 01 Jun 2003, 22:57

Congratulations, Heat. Think it's 'official' now, you are 'a true' Maniac!!

Am afraid of needles, but think the idea is great. Please keep us informed!

Love,

Mariella

Terri · 01 Jun 2003, 23:10

WOW Heat you definetly qualify for "maniac status" now!

Fab idea

but like Mariella I'm afraid of needles too!

CarylB · 01 Jun 2003, 23:31

I have no fear of needles whatsoever .. when studying physiology I had to stab myself countless times for blood samples .. but I wouldn't brand myself for anyone

.. not even to have "This side down" tattoed on my behind

Heat, this is so twisted....last week on my birthday I was talking about getting a tattoo as a way to fend off feeling quite so old. Any that was my exact thought, right down to the permanent marker! I have no tattos, but maybe someday I will get just one- it would have to be something very special, and an authentic ML sig would qualify!
