RE NO MORE SHOWS

[Ankie]

Thank you, Lost Soul/Patricia!!

The link you gave was great!! I am so happy now after reading it. It appears that we have our own Meat Loaf back!!

Meat Loaf, I am sooooooo happy for you, that you feel so much better now, despite of being so tired!
Enjoy your final concerts down under and after that:
Enjoy your time off! You only have to remember that we all love you and for sure will be here for you, when you want to see us again

Love & Hugs,
Ankie.

Not at all. I made a very valid point with valid questions some of which have been answered. Just because someone questions something doesn't necessarily make them the Devil, even a 14 year old should be able to figure that out.

I've been away for over a week and in that time there's stuff that's been going off here that hasn't been resolved and it appears a mass exodus is occurring - Why?. Perhaps it's because people are tired of people living in La La Land who jump down their throat whenever they make a statement that questions something.

I am now going to look at all the messages you've written and see how many of them make a valid point.

And in that week you have been away things have been quiet, pleasant and calm here so why start again?

Why cant you just leave it alone? Meat posts on the OIFC cos its nice and friendly there, lets try it here, you never know you might just like it!

Life is for living and enjoying, not snarling at everyone and picking fault.

[axelfluff]

for someone so devoted to his work giving up your music must be hard, but if you feel its time to give it up and it doesn't make you happy then the fans will understand. at least you can work on your film career and spend more time with your family.thanks for a great last performance and good luck in the future.

Heli, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you in any way; you're a good stick - don't let Spud upset you either.
Take care,

Don't be sorry Kathy! You havn't upset me!! Noones upset me really apart from the fact that Spud is dragging the board down again!! I mean Christa is right, this past week has been so lovely and peaceful!! No fights and people have just let go!!! Its so easy spud!! Try it!!!

[Caz]

I agree Heli, it's been fun on here for the past week, no fights or anything, just everyone trying to outdo each other on the postwhoring front *looks @ Andy in particular*. Then someone comes along and upsets the apple cart again.

Still, we don't have to answer that persons posts do we??

[Pudding]

This is amazing, you're all f*cking mad in the head!

All I did was question how can we be certain that the Meat Loaf on the OIFC is truly Meat Loaf and the next thing is, I'm the Devil incarnate.

I think some people didn't get their Choccy fix today

Sgerrif Spud

[airhead]

Nothing wrong with postwhoring!

Spud, Your the one thats jumping down our throats! Give it a rest please!

And i think meats come back... from what i just read. If he hasn't then if he does come back, lets try and not scare him off again.

Sgerrif Spud

Sherriff, We are NOT saying you are the devil incarnate! You say we are jumping down your throat, but take a step back and read your posts! I think you might be a little surprised at the things you say!

[AndyK]

*puts moderator jacket and stern moderators voice on*

Everyone please all of you take a step back. Let not see this degenerate shall we?

Spud asked a perfectly valid question, maybe in a tone that some of you didn't like, but I don't beleive he asked it maliciously.

The written word is too easy to take literally, so please think just a little before questioning why someone has said something or before posting something that could be construed as posted with malicious intent by others who read.

If everyone goes that extra yard or two then we can have lively discussions with out the flames.

No more discussions of this ilk in this thread!

I thank you!

Cheers Andy.

Perhaps some of my responses have been a little harsh but what do you expect when you get provoked!?

Maybe if some people STOPPED reading between the lines looking for bother and just concentrated on reading what's been written then maybe, just maybe everyone can stop jumping to conclusions!.

Sheriff Spud

[tbuck]

Come on folks,

he asked a legitimate question....How do you know that's really Meat?

Well, on this site admin knew it was Meat and he was the only one allowed to post as Fire Ball. On the OIFC, same deal, only he is allowed to post there as Meat, or whatever name he uses there. (Did I get that right, someone correct me if not?)

So if Pud's sense of humor isn't yours, don't get your knickers in a twist.

He's not the only one gone for a bit that has made this a more peaceful place. Take a look around and figure it out. :)

Peace,
T

Yes this is correct. Vee has said only the man himself can post as Meat loaf, and she has verified his identity (as I said earlier)

Try a few smileys

[Caz]

Smileys would be good ..... that way people might not jump down throats too quickly, they'd have to think if what was said was meant in a serious context or a lighthearted one

[airhead]

Dear andy, sherriff, etc. I apologise, just spoke my mind. I tend to do that sometimes, but it's not very often.
*holds out hand to shake spuds hand.*

I am sorry for that little outburst, it won't happen again. I hate all these arguments and rows that go on, and i am vey fed up with them.

Love,
airhead, emma, eddie, (whatever you want to call me)

May we figure "aloud"? Okay, do you mean, Fireball??? ...

tink...figuring "aloud".... and praying HER sense of humor doesn't twist anyone's knickers..

[tbuck]

No tink,
figure away, if you want...Fireball was not at all who I meant in that post.

Re: your sense of humor...no twisted knickers here.

...just best wishes for our kiwi friends for a great time at the concerts there, wishing I won more than $3 in the lottery and could fly to join them

[LucyK!]

Clearly I've not been online for a while, and I've just browsed the forum to find this thread. Quite a blow, I have to say!

Instinct is telling me to start screaming at this point - no idea why but it feels productive! But on taking a few moments, I could cry thinking about the sheer happiness you have brought to me so many times over the past 11 years, and for that, I thank you.

Since I was 6, you have always been a massive part of my life - through the good times and the bad, from being too young to catch the proper lyrics so making up the ones I didn't know, to correcting those who dare to get them wrong - and it's been lying on my bed with Bat II belting out that has got my through some tough times, and helped me to celebrate the good times.

As has quite rightly been pointed out to me, I have been extremely lucky in having met you on several occassions and felt nothing but happiness everytime ( as I never failed to express! ), and no matter what they are memories that will be with me for the rest of my life.

I'd like to say I'm sorry you've made this decision, to wish you luck in everything you do from here on - you know you have our full support - but most of all to thank you for the experience. The Meat Loaf rollercoaster has been one hell of a ride!

[Alex]

Nice post Lucy, you seemed to have summed up a few things that I couldn't find the words to say (hence, didn't post till now on this).

For Crying Out Loud, we love you Meat

Digressing. I still remember the shock when I actually got bought a copy of Bat 2 and found the song I'd loved and sang for ages and played in my walkman at the time wasn't called "My Fears Are Living, And I Want My Money Back". :)

I understand that you probably wouldn't read all posts, and no reason for me to be picked out special. But that still doesn't stop me from saying that I hope you change you mind (though as everyone here, accept your decision with forboding). Would love for a "last show", if not a tour a one off show for Bat 3 that was your climax, going out on a high! The only problem from my point of view is that you can't play all the songs I wanna hear in one night :)... seems like you'll need to do a 2-concert ticket hehe. (ok, i might have gotten over excited!)

Take care Meat,
Should you read this: "Hi!!! Woooo!!! Meat read my post!!"

Alex

[Caz]

I still think a perfect setting for a Meat Loaf gig (if he changes his mind), is Edinburgh Castle, after the Military Tattoo, as that is when they seem to hold them, before the seating comes down etc.

Just think about it, Castle in the background, Meat in a kilt *shivers at the thought and drools a bit*. The entire Scottish Capital getting treated to an outdoor live Meat Loaf gig *too much to think about*.

(After all if we can have Tom Jones, and various others playing there, WHY NOT MEAT!!!)

Think about it big man, I think it would be awesome

[mszee]

Michael (?),

I am a newbie here...relative newbie as a fan too. When your first album came out...it was long ago and I was far away. I actually got to be a fan after the second Bat came out. That's when I first heard Paradise By The Dashboard Light of all songs...and the rest is history. So...I don't even know if you're reading this or interested in this or whatever...I didn't even figure out yet how to know whether people have replied to me...duh...
In any event...Your voice changed, didn't change...doesn't matter...it is your heart and your soul and your everything that you put into your singing. It is an extreme effort that goes into every little song and detail. I am surprised you can still walk and talk after all this effort.
In any event...I saw you some years back in Radio City Hall and loved it. Then I saw you in NJ with Cindy Lauper...and I guess it was one of those off days. I wasn't disappointed...just...ummm...just a bit hurt and those were not my feelings that were hurt...it was almost actual physical pain I felt. So when the last tour came around (2005) I said...Let me remember Meat Loaf the way he was and not go to this concert...
Boy oh boy...am I eating now my words and my heart out...I honestly think that I will never forgive myself if I never will see your concert again...even if you don't have any voice left, even if you do wheelchair races on the stage, I still got to see it at least once. So please...ya know...

And to whoever says that Meat Loaf is too old to tour and to rock...I have a few words to say... You know I love you...but you have a lot to learn about rock and roll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kev]

anyone else cack themselves when seeing this topic again?!?
