You took the words right out of my mouth.

:LOL:

Anyhow, sad to hear Kasim is off. All the best Kasim.

Would be great if Meat could clear up why he's off.

Looking forward to finding out who's replacing him!

That's an interesting point.

But as regards the musical director position; I think that will be done by Meat Loaf with the NLE contributing of course.

Now I know Kasim was credited as the musical director and all, but Meat Loaf did contribute vast amounts to the direction of every show he did, much more than he credits himself for. So I personally don't think the musical director position is anything to be worried about.

As regards the sound of the NLE. I can't see it changing in anyway unless Meat wants it to. He could do one thing today and change it completely the next. So expect the unexpected as regards the sound of the NLE goes.

He conducts the musical ensemble being used for any particular concert or show; making sure the musicians are prepared for their performances and for making any changes in the score that he deems fit.

In Kasim's position, he has been known as the 'Derek Jeter' of the NLE. As Meat and Kasim have worked so closely over the years, Kaz had a handle on Meat's ad libs on stage, when and where to start the band back up based on Meat's cues, Etc. Meat is the primary visionary as to how the scripts roll during the show, but the timing of the band with Meat's vision must be in check and that assist had to go to his short stop, Kasim.

I'm sure the kinks we speak of will be all sorted come tour time. For me it's going to be just another element for me to be excited about...to see what Meat does with his creativity.

Exactly. In the NLE, Kasim was far far more than bass player on stage. I think his contributions have been underrated by us all over the years.

He was more than a bass player alright. He could sing, play all guitars, keyboards, a songwriter and director, drummer..what couldn't he do?

But I'm upbeat while everyone else is sad, because I know he'll be back again in the near future.

Next chapter, Hang Cool Teddy Bear. Although sad in one respect, I'm looking forward to all the changes Meat has made. The bass player will be another change to the set. Re-inventing his wheels, sometimes willingly and sometimes unexpectedly as is this case.

Very well said Suzie, it will be sad to see Kasim go, but I'm sure whoever Meat replaces him with will be outstanding. As we all know Meat's standards are high. And I look forward to the next chapter with the new album and any changes Meat makes for the next tour. I wish Kasim all the best .

I agree, I'm sure he's done more than what we all realise.

I think it's a measure of how closely Meat and his whole band connect with us from the stage, that we hate to see any of them go. And we see them up there, interacting with each other, helping each other, working hard together to give us a good show. I do remember the first time I saw the NLE, the only person I could "see" was Meat. Since then I've expanded my peripheral vision a little and have come to hold them all in very high regard. Which is, I think, exactly what Meat hopes we will do. Kasim is not only talented but a great guy; I love him and I will miss him on the Meat Loaf stage. The show will go on, though, and I plan to open my mind and heart to the new bass player, whoever he or she may be.

Best wishes, Kasim!
Kathy

This is such sad news, every concert I have been too, Kasim has been there in Orlando he caught my attention because he saw me trying to get one of Meat's guitar picks and failing and he caught my eye and threw me one of his which I still have that was back in 2007, he will be missed and there will no doubt be a void now but I wish him luck in the future and whatever projects he does from now on.
