I understand where people are coming from when they say it makes them sad to see Meat do an advert, but the end of the day it's a harmless parody.

Not too much up on tech stuff

, but it sounds like a go phone is something that would interest youngsters.
By placing himself by the product, he also gets a mew generation to take an intewrest in a way they might not have before.

BTW, Quote from Wikipedia about Tiffany.......

"Shortly after her 18th birthday in 1989, Tiffany bought a mansion that used to belong to action movie star Chuck Norris."

Is there NOWHERE that Chuck Norris doesn't appear?

Battybarb · 08 Apr 2008, 18:46

Chuck Norris seems to be everywhere...lol

**The Flying Mouse** · 08 Apr 2008, 18:50

And even weirder, Tiffany is moonlighting these days as Catherine Tate

This is a case for.................... The Doctor

Jeez, someone could've told me

Deb · 08 Apr 2008, 19:25

shhhhh I ddin't want to hurt his feelings

Sapphire Lady · 08 Apr 2008, 20:03

Having watched the commercial several times now, I think it does grow on you. Seeing it for the first time is a bit of a shock but after a few more viewings I can appreciate the humour of it more. I wonder if that's why Meat did it - because it appealed to his sense of humour. (He surely can't need the money).

**RadioMaster** · 08 Apr 2008, 20:12

wonder how much money he got for this

**RadioMaster** · 08 Apr 2008, 20:17

the son looks a bit like the star wars kid lol

duke knooby · 08 Apr 2008, 21:06

lol

**RadioMaster** · 08 Apr 2008, 21:20

you know, the fat kid with the lightsaber

angelica · 08 Apr 2008, 21:33

I think this is great ... light hearted ... and very funny. Brilliant!

Google for "find chuck norris", clicking the "I Feel Lucky" button

Nearly as good as the "French Military Victories" one

This is why this commercial is great.

I was at my friend's house when this was played. My friends dad not knowing that I was a Meat Fan told us about how he loved the original song, and how he danced with his soon to be wife will listening to it in high school. he told us all theese stories about how he would listen to Meat while driving his car at extreem speeds. In other words, for people in america, who don't follow meat as much, this put him in the spotlight again. The dad eventually realized that he didn't have a bat out of hell record on cd, so he intends to buy one.

The GO PHONE has been around Down here for a while. they used to have really annoying commercials.

This commercial sparked a bit of joy into the people I talked to. Sure I bet he was paid a bit for it, but I'm not sure that it was a desperate thing.

Nick!

**RadioMaster** · 08 Apr 2008, 22:49

good to hear that

SW31 · 09 Apr 2008, 00:01

what a good way to say meat is back working - very funny though having tiffeny could she replace aspen on the tour or is the possibility of a duet in order

AndrewG · 09 Apr 2008, 00:19

I think if Tiffany had been doing those make out scenes with Meat in 2006/2007 during Paradise he probably wouldn't have gotten so frustrated during the tour as the press wouldn't have cared much, plus she could have done "I think we are alone now" as support. Would have been fine imo.

WhenItComes2LovingU · 09 Apr 2008, 04:16

Wow...his voice actually doesn't sound that bad. And he sings in the original '78 key without straining. It doesn't sound like they did much studio clean-up on his voice, so if this is him post-cyst, consider it an improvement.

I agree! Its just what he needed - a bit of sillyness after all that happened last year

lorenzoduke · 09 Apr 2008, 16:25

Meats not just a singer, he's an actor as we all know. For some reason it doesn't bother me him doing this commercial so much.

At least its funny and actually Meat Loaf-related rather than just him standing there hawking some product.

So she really did Playboy?!

Yes, I have that issue too.

24K · 10 Apr 2008, 00:57

I think the advert is great, it gets Meat exposure, its a funny and entertaining ad imo.
Money for old rope, there is nowt wrong with that. Especially when it gets you into several million homes at the sametime. As for not announcing it on net, i don't have a problem with that.

djfierce · 10 Apr 2008, 10:59

i'd rather tickets were announced on .net!!! Think they're a little more important

**allrevvedup** · 10 Apr 2008, 12:14

I'd rather the thank yous for his birthday were taken down from .net

I got a message from them saying you have less then 30 days until your membership expires, please renew now...yeah ok, it mentioned pre sales as one of the reasons for signing up

Anyway back to the commercial (or ad for us on this side of the planet)

It's definitely not growing on me, but if it helps people to realise that he's not just "the big sweaty guy" and actually has cd's worth buying then it might generate some new sales.

However after all this promotion in america for the documentary, would it not be sensible for him to tour parts of America?
