A Thank you - Page 3

MelS · 12 Sep 2016, 06:35

My english is not so good, but I hope you understand what I want to express.
Thank you very much for your great music and your fantastic shows/concerts!
I love you and your music and I thank you for being there in my good and bad times.
My dream came true as I met you 30th of April 2013 in Munich. You are a wonderfull personality.
I wish I was born 20 years earlier

Than I'd could go to more concerts

But every time I hear your music I can feel it, the power, the atmosphere - it's fantastic. I hear your songs and i feel good. It's ineffable - it's magic.
Thank you very, very much and never ever stop rockin'!

Sebastian. · 12 Sep 2016, 07:46

Thank you, Meat. Without your music I don't think I could have achieved anything that I did.

I will always remember what you said to me.

"Sebastian, we don't say we like to do something, we say we're gonna do it."

One of the best pieces of advice i've ever been given as well. Not surprising to hear from Meat as well - he's a smart boy. He knows all about intention.

Meat,

I have to thank you...
Your performance and your music changed my life in a positive way.
When I attended your magical show 3 years ago,
I was carried away to a different place and all my life goals went upside down...
Now I believe in my own Rock'n Roll Dreams (instead of meeting society's requirements) and
your songs give me the energy that I need to make them come true.
Thank you SO MUCH.

Get well soon!!!!!

GDW · 12 Sep 2016, 09:08

Thanks for all the great music Meat. You went all the way and then some.

The Neverland Express is rolling into its final destination and the large Texan driver clumsily nudges the buffers. He laughs out loud and shouts back "that's it folks". The passengers disembark, wave goodbye to the sweat-soaked guy up front, thanking him for the world's greatest ride.
The crowd leave with huge smiles and swap memories and stories of their unbelievable trip.
This was always going to be a one way trip and really don't think anyone could survive a return!
I'm so glad I bagged a seat as the Train of Love passed through.
Thank you driver.

roxylou · 12 Sep 2016, 10:14

Reading these comments and ive got tear filled eyes 😢 the love from each and every1 of us is amazing just like the man himself xx

wizardofodd · 12 Sep 2016, 10:26

Thank you Meat. Words cant describe what your music has meant to me over the years. Growing up I started listening to my mums old Vinyl's and instantly got hooked- when CHSIB came out I was 13 and ran to the supermarket to buy my first copy- this wasnt the cool thing to do- my friend's were listening to other music that was 'so good' I can barely remember what it was and they would likely fail to recall themselves. It's been a total roller-coaster- Braver than we are is a fine farewell- what an ending to a fantastic rock n roll journey. I hope your dream whatever it is Meat will some day come through- you deserve it.

On a side note over the years I've had two long term relationships and have converted both women to being big fans of yours (one of which is now my wife) so thats my contribution for you- you can thank me later

Never ever stop rocking..but don't forget to rest too

Thank you for all the Wonderful years and all the Brilliant memories I have that will last me the rest of my life.
But my dearest wish in all the world is I want your health to improve and for you to be healthy and happy and to carry on with your dreams, Meat, dear.
Thank you So very much for all your kindness, whenever you see me.
You always make me want to live no matter what happens in my life.
Please look after yourself,Meat, because you make this world a better place.
Wishing You Love, Health and Happiness, Always, Susan Yates XXX

Kai-H. · 12 Sep 2016, 16:15

Saw you first 1982 live in Hamburg, much more concerts followed. I'm very honoured to met you 2003 in Hamburg. Bought your records since 1979 ( oh yes, I love "Dead Ringer" and wish you had done the vocals on Jim's "Bad For Good"-Album ).

You gave us so much all over the decades, now think at yourself and your health - there's nothing more important than life. (Sorry for my english ... ).
Maybe there are some pearls in the vault ( outtakes, demos, unreleased takes, livetakes etc. ) for further releases? We all would be very happy with new "old stuff" if it's possible.

Meat: Take care and bye from Kai

renegadeangel · 12 Sep 2016, 18:26

There are never enough words to really thank someone who has made such an impact on your life. A simple thank you seems so meaningless as it can never express the sincerity or true appreciation for the hope and dreams your work has inspired over the years.
But from the heart thank you.

Hey Meat !
years ago i thought that was not all.... Jim & Meat do another one, and now last at bat... thank you meat loaf for over thirty years (for me !) realization of human emotions such as grief, passion, rage and joy through music. Thank you....

letsgotoofar · 12 Sep 2016, 19:46

Thank you for what you've done, and for what you will continue to do through your music long after every song has been sung.

As for your dream, don't look far. Lift thine eyes to the words of your friend Jim:

Quote:

ONCE UPON A TIME WAS A BACKBEAT
ONCE UPON A TIME ALL THE CHORDS CAME TO LIFE
AND THE ANGELS HAD GUITARS EVEN BEFORE THEY HAD WINGS
IF YOU HOLD ONTO A CHORUS YOU CAN GET THROUGH THE NIGHT

I TREASURE YOUR LOVE
I NEVER WANT TO LOSE IT
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH THE FIRES OF HELL,
AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT THE ASHES TO PROVE IT
I TREASURE YOUR LOVE
I WANT TO SHOW YOU HOW TO USE IT
YOU'VE BEEN THROUGH A LOT OF PAIN IN THE DIRT,
AND I KNOW YOU'VE GOT THE SCARS TO PROVE IT

REMEMBER EVERYTHING THAT I TOLD YOU,
AND I'M TELLING YOU AGAIN THAT IT'S TRUE
YOU'RE NEVER ALONE, 'CAUSE YOU CAN PUT ON THE 'PHONES,
AND LET THE DRUMMER TELL YOUR HEART WHAT TO DO
KEEP ON BELIEVING,
AND YOU'LL DISCOVER BABY

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING MAGIC
THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW
AND WHEN YOU REALLY REALLY NEED IT THE MOST,
THAT'S WHEN ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME THROUGH
THE BEAT IS YOURS FOR EVER
THE BEAT IS ALWAYS TRUE
AND WHEN YOU REALLY REALLY NEED IT THE MOST,
THAT'S WHEN ROCK AND ROLL DREAMS COME THROUGH, FOR YOU!

Meat...
thank you for all time and energy you have given to us and for being part of my life since 1987.
Take care and I wish you all the best...

Elijah's way · 14 Sep 2016, 20:44

No. Thank you Meat Loaf!

I love you like a brother even though I've never met you. You've been a very big part of my life for the past 23 years and to be honest if it weren't for you and you're music I'd parobaly be dead now. I had a terrible childhood and you're music is the only thing that kept me alive.

It saddens me to think that you're music career is over but I'm also happy that you are finally taking the well deserved time off. Whatever may be wrong with you health wise, I hope you get through it and it isn't to serious.

Please keep us posted with what's going on with you after all the promotion is over.

Peace out brother. Love you!
