I'm off to bed now a happy bunny shame about Dec18th

Rosie

Hi, Meat, doesn't matter what you play, it's still gonna be great. The date of the 13th November in Manchester, is that a meet and greet, I do hope it is.

Bigmomma · 18 Oct 2003, 11:06

meatloaf, the shows you do are brilliant, you go on stage and
you give us 110% every time, you have us laughing and singing...
you can please all of the people some of the time, and some of the
people all of the time, but you can never please all of the people
all of the time...at least that is what my grandad allways told me.
meat we come to youre shows because we enjoy the show you do
dont let some killjoys spoil it for you thinking that, we rock with you
not them.
as for the dates, mine is the 7th dec, but well would not have a clue
about what to do but guessing they are all spoken for by now....
take care,
kezzina

MBrevard · 18 Oct 2003, 11:26

Oh, Meat! Try and relax, please!! You mustn't let people's words and reactions upset you so! I can understand why they do. We all can!

But for every negative comment you might find somewhere, I'm sure we can find 100, 200, 500, 1000 others which would be positive!!! Sometimes, it feels as though you only look at those comments which have something bad to say. By responding to them, you give the people making them too much power--you give them too much emphasis--and it doesn't belong there.

You have SO many fans around the world who adore you, who can't wait to see you--whenever, wherever you go!! There has to be a way that you can turn things around--just for your own sake--and concentrate on all the good out here for you, instead of the little bit of bad!!

WE must be the things that matter MOST!! WE are always here for you and always will be!! Please try to balance the negatives (or totally eliminate them) with all the positives that are here for you!!!

The four shows I got to see this summer were wonderful! I didn't care about the songlist--whether it was the same or different each night--I didn't care if your voice was perfect or it wasn't--I came to see YOU! And I was NOT ONCE disappointed!!!

There is only ONE Meat Loaf in this world and millions of us know that and treasure that!! Please try to be a little at peace within yourself with that fact in mind!!

It hurts us here when you come and feel you have to explain and defend what it is you do and the way in which you choose to do it!! You must know that it is unnecessary for the majority of us!!

You've gone through such a rough time these past few months. It's got to be more important that you concentrate on feeling better and staying well!! That is what matters most!!

I'm sorry to go so long, but these are things I have wanted to say to you for quite some time!!

I send my love, as always, to you and yours,
MB

Bigmomma · 18 Oct 2003, 11:37

well said MB, lets just hope he does stop letting the killjoys get
to him because as you said there is only one meatloaf....
But saying that it must be very disheartning putting so much
effort in to the shows especially with his throat and then some put
him down, but as you say MB, its a pity he has to put up with it.
take care meat and take it easy while you can.

Beer-man · 18 Oct 2003, 11:47

I wasn't going to say anything....but hell. On the topic of same jokes/songs etc...You should really pause and think how bloody lucky (can I say bloody here?

) you are that you are seeing more than one show. I know i would give my left testicle to see Meat live more than once.
He dosen't get down under very often (understandable since we are only a population of 17 million). When he does From Brisbane Sydney is about 1000km away and Melbourne is 2000km away hence a trip becomes an expensive or time consuming exercise.

I was thinking how long it was since Meat Toured Australia and came up with a rough figure of 7 years (Welcome to the Neighbourhood). I can't wait for his return and will be there cheering for the great man. He always goes off!

So if you are lucky enough to enjoy more than one of Meat's shows....You really shouldn't be unhappy if they contain mostly the same material....after all they are designed for people like me the one time a tour fan, and not the lucky few who get to enjoy the show more than once. If you ever get bored

feel free to send Meat down under....I'll be more than happy to watch exactly the same show even when I know it off by heart and beyond.

Meat have a XXXX and relax your a champ

oh and btw if i didnt make sence, spelt stuff wrong or the word bloody is not welcome here, I claim lack of sleep too......I'm on nightwork......night 3 of seven tonight.

Jayd · 18 Oct 2003, 11:53

Well said MB, I think you have spoken for a lot of us. There is no way Meat should explain himself, every concert, being the same as the night before or not, will be bloody great, you don't know what to expect from Meat, even his own band seem surprised at times, because every night is different, same songs maybe but totally different concert. I can't wait to see him in Manchester.

Beer-man · 18 Oct 2003, 12:00

you got censored for bloody too :P were bad

Jayd · 18 Oct 2003, 12:01

BAD BOYS BAD BOYS WATCHA GONNA DO WATCHA GONNA DO WHEN THEY COME FOR YOU

Eva · 18 Oct 2003, 12:02

I say the same as MB!

Love you, MEAT! :P
Eva

only one week........ :P :P :P

Sabine · 18 Oct 2003, 13:03

Dear Meat, you can play what you want, I love it all, you are the best.

Sabine

Renegade Angel · 18 Oct 2003, 13:18

Looks like I'll not get the chance to meet the man himself as Im going to the Sheffield gig on 22nd November - god I wished I'd have gone to the 29th gig now!!!!
I supose I'll just have to count my blessings that at least im going to a show.

Meat - you play the songs and do what ever you like on stage, I don't think any true fan minds whatever you do as long as they get to see you live.
I can honestly say that I've been to quite a few of your shows over the years, and I have never seen you do a 'bad' show yet.
I understand that some people will always moan about what songs you do and to be honest I myself would love to hear you do some songs that you've not done for a while but I would be upset if you didn't do the classics aswell, so just keep doing what you are doing.

I notice that every show on this tour in the UK is sold out and these are not small venues to fill so you must be doing something right!

madonna123968848 · 18 Oct 2003, 17:17

Who has been upsetting Meat!!!!

aussielovesmeat · 18 Oct 2003, 17:30

Meat,
I count myself as lucky to of seen you twice so far. I've been to a lot of concerts in the last 25 years and I can honestly say that no-one equals YOU !!!
I was trying to explain to a work colleague the other day what makes your concerts so special - it's not just your charisma on stage, not just the fabulous music, but the fact that you give 110% not just for the concert itself, but the fact that you give 110% for each and every song !!!!
It must be about 8 years since your last visit, and I still remember that concert clearly, and can't wait to see you again in Melbourne.
Got my fingers crossed you can come to Adelaide as well, as that's my home town.

Please don't let people's comments upset you !!
The rest of us love ya mate !!!!!

Hafta say, i am a tad, well a bit more than a tad

dottie · 18 Oct 2003, 19:16

17th November Oh please

That must be Wembley, cous Meat cann't do two shows in one night

ROSIE · 18 Oct 2003, 19:44

Oh please Dec 18th can't swop I driving down and picking my boy up at Garwick and then straight on to Wembley, but if the plane is delayed he'll have to stay at gatwick until after the show and I'll have a spare ticket, I;ve think I've got my priorities right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rosie Shouldn't really whinge he can't please us alll !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh Heat are none of the dates your concerts? Maybe they'll be some more to come?
One of them is a concert I'll be at, unfortunately it isn't one my son is coming to.........

ROSIE · 18 Oct 2003, 20:48

You never know there might be more dates to come, would everyone who does get lucky and still has the power to speak when they meet him ask him about Trigger Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!###
