Meat Loaf at Live8!
Hi everyone - have you seen the papers today which are alleging that Meat has been turned down to perform at the Hyde Park concert?
 apparently as they didn't have 'enough room'.Maybe we should get a petition together or bombard Harvey Goldsmith to get him on the bill??

Steady Ross
(*Pixie hugs Ross to calm him down*)It would have been a great date for him (2nd July) and if they're going to have a proper rock concert, I don't see how he can be refused in favour of some of those going, but Status Quo were refused and the organisers overwhelmed by support and have now promised to include them...... |

Umm, isn't Meat already playing a gig on the 2nd July? Another one with Quo in Ireland?
Yes he is. And since he's not supposed to do a show over 1hr 45mins I very much doubt that he'd be allowed to do TWO shows in one day in different parts of the country! |

Good point! Although I suppose if invited Live8 would be most artists' priority. However I'm sure Meat wouldn't want to let the Irish crowd down....
so it's probably a good thing he's not on the bill...

I personally feel that live8 might turn out a little disappointing anyway since there has been so little preparation time for everybody. I doubt it will have the same impact as live aid had in 85.

Thought it was a charity concert. I do believe that the more great artists will play, the better that is. It is a shame for live 8!!

Geldof and that weird guy from the Libertines were awful.
Why on earth didn't they have Meat. There's an establishemnt in this Country even at pop level - if you're not in it - youre out. All the established acts have been pretty good so far. Meat would have been a great addition. Personally I'm glad he's saving his voice for Harewood in God's own County of Yorkshire! Mike |

If the concert in Ireland today is as packed out as the one on the 18th of June I'm sure the thousands of fans that turned up at the venue would be really impressed if Meat didn't show up just to do one or two songs in Hyde park! However, it IS a shame that there won't be any kind of link up between Meat's show and the Live 8 show ie in between acts at Hyde park they could show video footage of Meat at his show that way everyones happy. But I personally don't think that Meat not appearing on Live 8 is that big a deal. The exposure would've been nice but only doing a song or two would've been a waste of having Meat there in the first place. Umm, I'll shut up and go now I think!

Aware of the show but an early listing at Live 8 would have allowed his performance in Ireland. U2 are in Austria after their L8 numbers.
