Awesome! Make sure you make it clear that they are LYING

Cheers

melon · 31 Oct 2011, 06:43

Just be ready everyone, pretty sure the shit-stirrers & trolls will come back out of the wood-work, don't feed them, just post the message when the time comes, report them if need be.

Can't believe they blasted you Meat,

your apology was sincere and heartfelt. Just say the word Meat, and I'll be ready.

Will be happy to do this. I know the ones on my FB that will comment on it...but I can ignore them pretty easily. And they only say things to wind me up anyway.

hahahah. You're funny when you're huffy. But I'm sorry you're going through this!! Oh, look what was just playing, "...learned the hard way that life ain't fair. It's times like these you gasp for air."

Don't you love it when your song's lyrics get tossed to you! lol. It really was playing as I was reading your post. Just seem so apropos.

$600,000! I read that again today, only it went up to 641K and they made a point of saying that was for the US conversion, I guess they figured us Americans couldn't do the math... Oh my! What's one to do with the media...

We will post your apology (if you want), just give us the go-ahead and we'll blast it out of the universe!

"She makes it through another day..." And so will you!!

Love ya!

Meat, I know you are really really pissed off, and we are all pissed off too. But I think this is an unwinnable war and all the cyberbullies will come back out of the woodwork now, which is a bad thing after it had calmed down somewhat.

I woulddo anything for Meat and I WILL do that!

Ollie241189 · 31 Oct 2011, 09:36

I know there are loads of people that post a lot but there are a few names that crop up more than others on here!!! Its like meat has his own army!

You're forces are lined up in battle Meat (sorry couldnt help it again)

MEAT'S ARMY!!!!

Meat,

you have only got 1 more show left, sorry keep strong, I can put my life on it that this won't travel around with you when you leave Australia and NZ, People over there will have fogot about next week, just wait until and another artist lands in australia and performs, they will get the same treatment!

As for them blasting you about the apology, there stupid, have they ever spoke to you in person whilst you was AFL? If they did, they would know how down to earth you are, and how passionate you are about your music!

Anyways, Keep strong, only one more show, you can't let these critics get to you for future appearences, i've followed you for 20 years, im 22, and i've seen play loads, and the last few years have been your best, 2 off your best albums, and 2 years touring where vocally you've been as good as i can remember!

KEEP ROCKIN
Rick

Is it a good idea for UK and USA fans to do this? What's happened in Nz and Aus might be better staying there and it will for the casual Meat Loaf fan. If people in Uk and USA start to read all about the AFL experience it it may influence your next tours and people's opinion of it before it starts.

You've got it, Meat. Anything I can do to help.

We'll get the apology out there.

I know it's important to you because you are a man of honor and principle, but as others have wisely noted, I agree that this entire mess is going to vanish like a bat out of hell as soon as your plane leaves the ground!

Hang in there. You're almost done. You're going to kick ass, say adieu and that will be that! Close the chapter and move on.

Hugs,

Sue

Says it perfectly. We know that, as would anyone who meets you or who knows anything at all about you.

I also agree this will not follow you, and however infuriating and distressing it has been, you and your integrity are known and respected around the world; and in Australia save by a few jackasses who don't know you at all.

You know I am always ready to help support you in any way I can. I also remember your wise advice to me "You can't let these people get you down. You have to ignore them". You can lead a jackass to water .. but they're so stubborn they wouldn't drink if they were dying of thirst!

Few people outside Australia know what the AFL is, even less care I suspect. You gave a great show two days ago, you'll give one more great show as a triumphant conclusion to this short tour. Personally I'd like to push a positive message round the internet about how marvellous your shows have been, your new album is, and what great things we're looking forward to

Leave the stupid, albeit cruel, wicked, ignorant and in many aspects libellous comments of one group of people in your dust where they belong.

Get home, get on, and keep demonstrating what we all know to be the truth. You are an honest, professional, decent and hugely talented performer who is loved, honoured and respected around the world.

And THAT's the truth!!

Good idea, maybe we can put out some kind of thing at the time of the worldwide release. Sort of blitz the internet everywhere we can. If Meat does a video for All Of Me we can use the link for that and post it everywhere, provided we get permission of course. Be good to try and do some fan promo again as well as what Meat and the record company do. If there was say the video on Meatloaf.net front page or even here, we could just say to people hey check this out!

Just a note - the AFL incident was Australia, not New Zealand - please do not include us kiwis in any abuse the Aussies aimed at Meat Loaf - cheers

Very well said Sue .. I couldn't agree more. End the tour the only way you know how in NZ Meat .. that's what people are going to remember the most once you get home

Sounds like a great idea to me Caryl !

melon · 31 Oct 2011, 14:05

Meat, as I said before, I will post your message, do whatever you want me to do, but I do agree with this from Caryl, but whatever you want done, I am behind you 100% of the way.

It's already yesterdays news here, but I understand how important this would be to you, for you to set the record straight.

Whatever you want Meat.

I'm not sure why you want to pour fuel on the fire or salt in the would...Whatever way you want to think about it. However, I understand you wanting to defend your honor. Hell, I have been defending you for the last 26 years and will continue to do same.

I will do whatever you want me to. I just want your hurt to go away.

Who cares what the AFL thinks of you and why bring attention to the US through Twitter and FB? The only people in the states that know you had a less than perfect show were fans and we will love you till the end. Trolls will always be out, some people are just born evil (Thomas Hobbs). I, for one, am guilty of "feeding them." Nonetheless, I am done with that. It's exhausting and it only breeds anger. The world already has enough of that.

In just a few days, my beloved, you will be home where you are loved. Debra can take care you you and you can rest. You will be able to heal, both physically and mentally. Take your time, you are certainly worth the wait and I think you'll agree, were are too. Luv you bunches!!

Sarge · 31 Oct 2011, 14:43

As I said on another thread, I think the apology was a bold move but... I'm sorry, I'm fed up with the tiresome discussion of the AFL thing that has spoiled many threads on this forum. I have the feeling that there are more endless laments about one unfortunate event and its aftermath than talk about the new album and recent shows. This has been dragging on for a whole month now.
