Hey Meat Heads,

I’m home, recovering from the UK/Amsterdam promo tour. I had an amazing time. I really enjoyed playing the live show last week and meeting some of you afterwards. I was blown away with the audience. I’m blown away with all of you people here on the message board. I can’t believe the love and support you all show to Meat. I’ve read through the posts with regard to the show in Amsterdam. All of your kind words have put a big smile on my face. Thank you so much for being there/here for me as well.

I can’t wait to get on tour. I can’t wait to get the songs into my bones so I’m not thinking on stage anymore. By the time Meat and the Neverland Express hit the UK and Europe again we will be crushing. CRUSHING!!! We (the Express) have talked a lot about this over the last week. We start rehearsals on May 12th. We are going to break everything down, EVERYTHING. We are going to analyze all of the parts of each song and make this version of the Neverland Express the best band Meat has ever had behind him. On top of becoming a big scary MONSTER of a band, Meat has some awesome visual ideas for the stage show. I feel bad for any other artist who has to go on after us this coming year. See you on July 5th!

Didn't get to go to Amsterdam but did get to watch the big red buses rolling down the road on Fri!
From the 2 secs I met him for afterwards he seems like a great bloke and an ace guitarist!

Got a cheeky lil boys grin tho....how very rock 'n' roll!

That’s a real big statement to make Paul considering some of the people Meat as had playing with him wouldn't you say??

Thanks for posting!

What did you think of playing on the open top bus in London? Didn't you risk getting electrocuted?

Michel · 05 May 2003, 21:07

You're were great Paul. You were so powerfull. I liked the way you did Life Is A Lemon, and I really think that whole Amsterdam had heard the beginning of Paradise.

My brother also said you were great.

Hope to see you again in december.

bokibe · 06 May 2003, 02:01

Hi Paul,

Left a message twice in your Crookbook, but both times it didn't appear

Never mind, your where great in Amsterdam, me and my son where standing on "your side of the stage". You where playing as if satan was running behind you

I feel sorry that on the single version of CHSIB the break is just in your solo.

My son became a plectrum with Meat Loaf on it, curious if you have them also with Metal Loaf on it?
