meat fans why & when - Page 2

ABH · 10 Jun 2003, 10:53

I became a fan in autumn -87. I watched superchannel and they showed a live Meal Loaf consert. I think it was Bad Attitude. Well, I saw it from the song "Paradise By The Dashboard Light", and I was hooked from that moment on. I've been a fan ever since.

I was just wondering how everyone discovered Meats Music?

My story is as a 14 year old back in 78 i borrowed Bat out of hell from a friend that bought the album not for its content but for its album cover as he was into graphic drawing.
Never did return it, still got it, a little worn mind you.

MeatGrl1 · 10 Aug 2006, 01:33

I have been a fan for five years, started in 2000 when I saw The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Manchesta Odeon for the first time. I then got his Couldn't Have Said It Better album shortly after it's release in 2003 but it's only recently that I became fanatical. I caught his I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do That) video on one of the music channels and I have always had a love of this song and knew I had to own this song so the next day I bought Bat II Back Into Hell and the rest is as they say history!

mszee · 10 Aug 2006, 01:34

When Bat II came out...they played Anything For Love non-stop...

I was in physical therapy then and had to endure pains on top of listening to this song non-stop...

So Anything For Love forever is associated for me with pain and physical therapy...ahahahaha...

In any event...to promote the album they started playing Paradise non-stop too...at first I was listening with half ear...then really started to listen carefully...then I realized I am in love...

And the rest is history...

My sister had the 'Hits Out Of Hell' album, and that's what got me hooked. She used to play 'Two Out Of Three' (still my fave!) and 'I'm Gonna Love Her For Both Of Us' non-stop. After reading the liner notes, I noticed that all the best songs were written by Jim Steinman... Hence my dual obsession - Jim and Meat, and EVERYTHING they've ever done

sunneke · 10 Aug 2006, 08:04

When the album bat out of hell was realesed, my brother buyed it en said to me: you gotta hear this, this is great! Since that day i'm a fan!

AndrewG · 10 Aug 2006, 08:48

I grew up with sometimes hearing "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" on the radio etc. This I think was the most popular Meat Loaf song at least in The Netherlands before Bat 2. My dad had the Vinyl "Bat out of Hell", but I actually did not pay much attention to it. I remember while I was in The Netherlands "Paradise" had been rereleased or something like that and was quite popular round about 1991/2 when I used to go to a lot of school disco parties (I was about 12). The "it's cold and loneley in the deep dark night" bits had kids singing all long of course. Then in 1993 "Anything for Love" was released and I just knew I had to buy the album. The video was so impressive and it did really make a massive impact on me, instantly multiplying my interest in music by a factor gazillion or so.
I got Bat 2 straight away in Sept/Oct 93 and have been completely hooked since, collecting all Meat's albums and going to his shows.

German Loafer · 10 Aug 2006, 09:00

I simply inherited fandom from my father. He was listening to his music all day and went to concerts when meet was in Germany and so on. Around the time of WTTN, when I was 11 or 12 years old and started to listen to music on my own I took the CDs that were most easily available to me: Meat Loaf!
And so I'm a fan in second generation.

LucyK! · 10 Aug 2006, 11:24

When I was 4 I heard my Mum's recording of the Bat I album, FCOL came belting out and frightened the life out of me and I hated it.

Then when I was 7 he released Anything For Love. The relationship I had with my father was very similar to that that Meat had with his, so when AFL came on TV and my Dad hated it, I decided to say I loved it just for the sake of it. This of course meant actually having to listen to it whenever it was on and I genuinely fell head over heels for it. I begged my Mum to buy me the album but she wouldn't, we weren't very well off and the time and she "wasn't going to spend money on something I wouldn't like in a week's time". She eventually caved in and I've been hooked ever since.

Hey no worries - s*** happens!

snowy · 10 Aug 2006, 12:15

Modern Girl appeared on a compilation album back in the 80's and I wore out the tape playing just that song. I didn't think to find out if Meat had done any other work/songs - it didn't occur to me!
Then in '91 I went on a boating holiday on the Norfolk Broads with 11 other friends. One of them had BOOH1 and this was regularly played on the stereo system on the boat. Needless to say - I fell in love with the music and bought the album when I got back home.
I've been a fan ever since but it has only been the past year that I ahce become obsessive about him and his work - I have spent more money this year on CDs and DVDs than ever before.
The concert in October will be my FIRST and I can't wait

Keep up the hard work Meat - it's always appreciated

Hypnobabe · 10 Aug 2006, 13:08

I had a rock compilation album which featured You Took The Words, I read the album liner notes and saw it came from this album Bat Out Of Hell, so i went and bought it, and that's when I really became a fan, although having no money, I didn't really get any other albums, and sort of forgot about Meat until last year. I'd listen to Bat if I got really p*ssed off, (it's great music to be angry to) and somewhere along the line I got The Very Best Of, but things went a bit quiet for a while. Then I met a wonderful person (love ya gorgeous) who is also a huge fan of Meat and Jim. He took me to Chatsworth, my first ever Meat concert, and I started listening to the music again to prepare for singing along, and I've been steadily collecting the albums since then.

Benny · 10 Aug 2006, 14:31

I became a fan in 1993,when I heard AFL. I was in my Dads car going home, and I remember the song coming on the radio. I loved it as soon as I heard it. So powerful, and I remember in 1993 MTV put a program on about Meat Loaf, and it had clips from BOOH! When I first heard Bat well, I was hooked! Since then I've been a big fan. His music means so much to me, and I really worship him. I have all his albums, singles, DVD's and video's

My wonderful Mum took me to my first Meat concert on 14th May 1999 at Wembley Arena, and it was so amazing to see my Idol, in front of me! It was awesome. Every time I see Meat Loaf live, its so special to me.

Thank you Meat

wizardofodd · 10 Aug 2006, 15:29

my dad had the hits out of hell video and i loved it that was about 1998-1999 when i was only 8-9 years old. my dad then gave me thebad attitude album which i loved even more then i have basically been a fan ever since.

hayley · 10 Aug 2006, 17:40

I have been brought up around meats music my dad was a fan and he used to play BOOH and it went from there and then i met my best mate who is a huge meat fan and she got me more in to meat and out to concerts which took her long enough lol as my frist concert was only 2 years ago at wembley and then i found this place and have been completely drawn in lol

**RadioMaster** · 10 Aug 2006, 18:15

I´ve told this story before but...well

When I was about 4 or 5 years old (I guess that must have been during the Bat2 promotion) I was watching tv with my parents, I assume it was "Wetten Dass", but I´m not sure.
My father said to me "Do you know who that is? That´s Meat Loaf." He wanted me to translate it, but I couldnt, and as he told me what it means I found it quite funny.

Then long time came nothing.

A few years later my parents bought a CD-Player and my uncle bought them a cd compilation for christmas.
And on disc 2 track 7 was a song called "You took the words right out of my Mouth" I liked it but I thought the name was a little bit too long,
Later I discovered that that there was a spoken intro of this song which wasnt on that compilation.

Again a few years later I bought a compilation called 100 % Rock, with following Meat Loaf tracks on 6 cds
Bat out of Hell (the damn single version without the last "I can see myself tearing up the road" part)
Heaven can wait
Dead Ringer for Love
Heroes
and Took the words with the Hot summer night intro

I liked the tracks because of their pathos and deep emotion, which no other singer had that I knew

About that time i was starting to work at our radiostation and had a monthly rock show together with my fahter, I and played every show one of that tracks.

Later I thought that there must be more of his music and I was searching for a best of, found it, but didnt bought it because I didnt knew any of the songs (somehow stupid, or not?).
So about one year ago I bought it and thought it was really really great, then I became a fan.

I had the idea to Interview Meat for a interview show I´m doing for our station, so I was searching for a contacting adress but didnt find, until I was registrating on an internet forum called MLUKFC.
At first I didnt write much because I just registrated for doing the interview, but that changed with the time.

Please comment this one, if you like, because I´ve got the feeling that some people around feel that they´re better than other (no names) because they´re longer fans then other people, so I´m one of the worst fans here...

MissAsh · 10 Aug 2006, 19:24

I've grown up listening to Meat, as far as I know I was even listening and approving in the womb!
To be honest for a few years I didn't listen much, but when CHSIB came out I really got back into the music again, and then got to go see him live in Jan 2004 with my Mum =D

gotham_child · 10 Aug 2006, 19:39

i got into meatloaf coz i got rather 'into' a guy (perhaps i shudnt have.) and when he left his job and i got thrown to kent i missed him like mad and i spent 6 weeks listening to 2 out of 3 aint bad wich was on one of those 'i normaly throw them away' freebie cds from the sun newspaper. i then went to the library and got out every meatloaf album they had then went to andys records and bought all of the ones they had too....

Jeanie · 11 Aug 2006, 03:24

I was 15yrs old, when BOOH came out 1978, and some older teens in my neighborhood introduced me to Meat & BOOH as we traveled to & from sporting events. Then from about 1981-93, I lost track of Meat, but never the music, and the occasional thought of "I wonder what ever happend to him?" kinda thing. Then one night as my hubby was channel surfing he briefly hit on MM(canadian music vid channel) I heard a familiar voice, and as I watched the video I was more and more sure it was Meat, and when his name flashed up on screen at the end, I went nuts.. .screaming he's back...

After that, I kept track of him more, and then when I joined the computer age, around 2002, the rest is history, as they say.

J.

JanT · 11 Aug 2006, 11:01

1978 for me too and I was also 15 years old. Ten years later I had my first child and guess what I used to sing to him as I rocked him to sleep in my arms. Yup.. Bat Out Of Hell (softly, in a Yorkshire accent).

meatloaf-unofficial · 11 Aug 2006, 11:47

I first got into Meat Loaf in 1996 when I was 5 years old when my dad played Out of The Frying Pan... I thought - yeah this song rocks and began playing more of this guy. Later in 1998 when he bought out Is Nothing Sacred Single, my mum and me and my brither went to get it for my dad as he was at work and when he got back he put it on and I kept on plying it over and over again.... I was sooooo into Meat Loaf by now... I used to save up my pocket money and buy cds of him and even bough Bat Out Of Hell the video... (clasic albums thing)

Today I am 15 and am a HUGE Meat Loaf Fan. I have posters, all his cds, videos and dvds and I am saving up my money to see at least one ut two or three even from this tour after my first gig in 2004 at glasgow and then in 2005 in Liverpool Pops festival...

I guess I will always be a Meat Loaf Fan and it just shows that even kids as young as 5 like his music.. I have a newxt door neighbour who is 4 who likes Bat Out of Hell... Meat's Music will last forever to come

!!!

Leah · 13 Aug 2006, 21:44

I first got into Meat when 'I'd lie for you' was released, that song each time I heard it would blow me away. I remeber Meat appearing on Top of the tops with Patti singing it and I made everyone in the room go silent until it finished. I then got 'Welcome to the Neighbourhood' for Christmas and needless to say as soon as the shops were back open I went and bought every Meat related album I could get. I was about 14/15 years old and have been a devoted follower and fan ever since then.

I remeber Meat appearing on Top of the tops with Patti singing it and I made everyone in the room go silent until it finished. I then got 'Welcome to the Neighbourhood' for Christmas and needless to say as soon as the shops were back open I went and bought every Meat related album I could get. I was about 14/15 years old and have been a devoted follower and fan ever since then.
