Thanks for the information Meat. I'm sorry to hear that they treated you that way ... hopefully the record labels will get their acts together and do a better job supporting you once the new CD comes out
The new CD sounds exciting ... I can't wait to hear that duet with Patti ![]() |

![]() A 68-year-old Carole King or 76-year-old Leonard Cohen impress me more than any talent show winner. What good are youth, good looks and perfect singing if neither the singer nor the song touches your heart? As for youth and sex: I think Bruce Springsteen is more sexy than most of the young male singers that are popular these days. ![]() P.S.: I'd watch Celebrity Apprentice, if Meat Meat and Dionne Warwick sang a duet on the show. ![]() |

Not sure if this has been suggested before or not Meat, but why not record and promote a new CD yourself? You have more than enough talent around you to do it, and put it out yourself as an indie label? Artists like Toby Keith have done it with amazing success. That way, you dont have to deal with horrid record labels and you can have the freedom to do what you want and promote the hell out of a record.
Just keep doin what you do, because we all love it! |

![]() ![]() So not putting out a single was not your game plan, but the record companies? I was going nutso that there was no single, but I remember there being a feeling of "Meat knows best" going around. Meat did know best. He wanted a single ![]() Validation feels good ![]() Quote:
Can't you get someone with a little more get up and go? No offence here Meat, but I imagine that there is a train of thought in the music industry that you're only as good as your last battle (in sales, not how it sounds) and if you don't get multi platinum on this album, they're not going to spend the promo money on the next. That means sales suffer again on the next album, prompting them to spend even less. At that rate you'll be lucky to end your amazing career getting a silver record and a $5 off any purchase voucher at Starbucks. Couldn't Have Said It Better, Bat III, HCTB, none of them have had the impact they could have had with the right people behind them. Quote:

![]() ![]() Getting back also to AndrewG's comments, a while back, I saw Beyonce perform with Tina Turner on some awards show. Now, Beyonce is a beautiful girl, and very talented, but IMO, Tina blew her off the stage (in spike heels, no less!). |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_j3TDhc8vY Take a look right. At the start it seems Joss Stone isn't too bad at the Cry Baby song, decent enough entertainment you would think, but then when Melissa starts singing Piece of my Heart, on a completely different level in my opinion. ![]() ![]() AND here Melissa is not long after recovering from chemotherapy from her cancer! I don't think I've ever heard anyone other than Janis herself sing that song any better. Stunning!! She lives the words, feels them, owns them. Listen to that scream at 4.50. ![]() ![]() ![]() Last edited by AndrewG; 17 Jan 2011 at 02:35. |

Wow, that was amazing!
![]() ![]() I could only find audio (with still pictures) of Beyonce and Tina, but it's still cool to hear. Tina looks unbelievable for 69 (or so- at the time)! ![]() http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoVrUx1sts8 |

Maybe now would the perfect time to release a DVD of the tour (if one was filmed), when Meat is going to be appearing on Celebrity Apprentice.
If they promoted it properly, (even tying it in with his appearance on the show somehow) it could make people more interested in hearing HCTB after having seen him perform somes of the songs live. It would also let people know how great Meat is doing right now, and get them even more excited about the possibility of another new CD. |

plus in 1993 Chris Farley was in the cast. They could've had a field day with the script that night, being as you two looked alike (more so then you Jack Black). |

Thanks for making another one of my favorite albums of all time. Hang Cool might not be for everyone, but I love it as much if not more than anything you've ever done. I'm sure that puts me in the idiot category with some people around here, but ~~~~ it, I know what I like. And yes, that includes the Patrick story.

Thats ridiculous...I hope you keep fighting and get them to take their heads out of their asses.. Maybe you should tell them to go see one of your performances before they tell you your too old to spend time promoting! aaah that makes so mad!

I really, really love that quote.
![]() I'm sorry your record company are like that towards you but unfortunately the music industry these days seems to be as much about looking 'right' (young, skinny, with a hollywood smile and a perfect hairdo) than it is to have any real talent. After all who really needs to be able to sing these days when you've got things like autotune? I believe there are still a few artists who actually care about the music and putting on a damn good show but these people also tend to be the kind of artists who have been in the industry for years and thinking about it now they don't release singles either. Perhaps they're coming across the same thing that you are. I'm really looking forward to hearing the new album and reading all about how you get on in Celebrity Apprentice (since I'm not sure if it's on over here).

you are right in doing all the shows you can Meat, because at the end of the day, it keeps you in the public eye. and thats the way the world is these days, you gotta be seen to be heard. 2010 was a good year = HCTB is a strong album, and then the tour was fantastic also!! , so you should be happy and proud
![]() ![]() ![]() as for the record company thing? well fair play for clearing it up, but to be fair most people have posted plenty on this subject [ me included ] and its true what you have said. it comes down to ageism, old = no radio play. |
