As far as I am concerned, Meat asked for something, he gets it. I'm sure he's thought this through and I think it will show a very united fan base that stands behind Meat. To the best of my knowledge, Meat rarely asks his fans for anything.
I think that the least we can do is support this one request, no questions asked and no debate. |

Respectfully I disagree, if Meat came on here and requested that we all go play on the motorway to show how pi$$ed off we all are would you do it?! I personally don't think it's right to do something just because of who asked for that thing to be done.

   But in all seriousness, the concert in Tauranga should be nearly done, then its only a matter of time before Meat will be home and be able to make his final decision. I hope he is happy with whatever he chooses, and whatever happens after that. |

 Things could have been worse (or better?); Meat could easily have NOT been invited to perform by the AFL. Calling them ignorant ~~~~~~~s at this stage won't get you anywhere in my opinion. There's a difference between a humble apology and trying to shove an apology down one's throat and telling them I was right all along and here is my gang all going to whack you if you don't listen. |

.. but makes the point. Just as if he asked me to push him off a bridge because he wanted to show us he could fly, I'd decline Yes. of course it's Meat's decision to make. But he is open to constructive feedback on his music and shows. I never tell him what I think he'd be better doing in a recording because I have no useful experience, knowledge or expertise in that area. Others, who presumably have, feel it's OK to do that. to question it here. I do have some experience in PR so I feel it's perfectly OK to raise any concerns I have constructively and courteously, which I've done. Passing positives on virally via the internet isn't easy imo, the net prefers negatives. Case in point. Meat a few days ago said he wanted to spread the word about his favourite charity The Painted Turtle and endorsed our website as a means of doing this. Wonderful for him to do, and we got over 1000 hits in 24 hours. His thread attracted nearly 800 "likes" and 80 comments. We raised extra money that week simply because of his message, and I hope he can find time to do it again, because it helps us tremendously in reaching his wider fan base, which in turn directly helps The Painted Turtle. Brilliant Meat, thank you But in terms of passing it on and spreading it round the internet? 38 people. Yet this is something wholly good surely, altruistic, no personal axe to grind. Just a simple request to spread the word about a wonderful charity that helps sick children and a site that raises money for them by passing them all its profits. It's simply not easy to harness internet support in passing on positives imo. We ask fans every day to pass on our message to their friends to spread the word, but few take the time to do it. And for anyone, no matter how I cared for them, if they asked me to do something that I had any doubt would achieve the effect they wanted, or concerns that the possible disadvantages might outweigh the benefits, I wouldn't be much of a friend if I just went ahead blindly and without at least raising my concerns. In my book anyway. Caryl Last edited by CarylB; 01 Nov 2011 at 16:33. |

Sounds good Meat, i think its a good call as well.
PS I can definitely confirm that Hell In A Handbasket is more accessible than Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Handbasket is way easier to listen to all the time, whatever mood I'm in, whatever i'm doing, and anyone who hears it loves it. My little brother even started playing it on his own and he loves it, he said its an awesome record. Especially loves the giving tree. So way to go Meat! I think your in the process of making some new fans! PS Don't get me wrong, I love HCTB just as much as HIAHB, but its much less easy to listen to when your having a house party than HIAHB. My bro might even come along with me when we drive to see you in 2012, fingers crossed, it'll be some epic times for us is that happens!! |

That sounds like a wonderful idea....Just let sleeping dogs lie (no offense to dogs).
I was contacted by a "reporter" from NZ this past weekend. Although I wanted to give her piece of my mind, I consulted with a fellow loafer (thanks Vicki), who guided me through the good and bad in all of it... I vented to her and said some things I would have loved to tell that "reporter." BUT, nonetheless, we will not stoop to their level. It's over, we are done, time to move on!! |
