MSO...or Storytellers?

**RadioMaster** · 18 Aug 2006, 21:29

Now that we´ve compared almost every comparable album, let´s come to the DVDs.

MSO or Storytellers?

I must say that both got their good sides, Storytellers is interesting to watch, but MSO is just...whoa!
Thatswhy...my choice is Meat Loaf Live with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra!

vrg · 18 Aug 2006, 22:09

I, too, am a bit torn between them. But for overall live concert representation of Meat, and the use of orchestra, then MSO wins over.

Lord Kagan · 18 Aug 2006, 22:37

MSO Just because the start of it is better than the start to storytellers imo

JanT · 19 Aug 2006, 19:55

Am also torn between them both but if I had to make a choice I would choose MSO because I love the way they perform CHSIB.

German Loafer · 19 Aug 2006, 21:06

As I haven't seen Storystellers yet because I'm a poor student and not able to buy all the Meat stuff I like to have I can't judge it, so I'm undecided, but Storystellers will have diffuculties to top MSO when I see it, because I simply love the concert!

MeatGrl1 · 19 Aug 2006, 23:57

How the hell can I compare...

UNFAIR THREAD!

Pudding · 20 Aug 2006, 03:55

Storytellers and MSO are completely different gigs in completely different settings. It's a bogus poll if you ask me, but since no one asked me I'm saying, "it's a bogus poll"

**RadioMaster** · 20 Aug 2006, 12:05

Sure, but that makes the choice so difficult...
And:
I started this poll, because that are the only two concert DVDs Meat has done.

If the time comes, you can start a MSO vs. RAH poll...Mr Pudding, but up to now that´s the best we can compare.
Still better than comparing...let me see...Fight Club to Midnight at the lost and found eh?

Pudding · 20 Aug 2006, 12:44

Just because they're the only shows Meat has on DVD doesn't make it reason enough to do a comparison.IMO

Then you should click on the "Stop that crap" Button...

Rockette · 22 Aug 2006, 15:00

I kind of agree with Pudding. We are comparing apples with oranges with these choices, and it's an unfair comparison.

However, I chose MSO over Storytellers because the entertainment value was far better on MSO for someone like myself who prefers loud music over jovial banter. Having said that, I have to admit to being addicted to Lawyers, Guns and Money from the Storytellers DVD.

Another comparison of similar DVD events would be great. We can but hope that eventuates.

SuperLoafMan · 22 Aug 2006, 18:02

I am torn between the two!

They are both absolutely great in their own way!!! Have to vote "Cant decide"

Hypnobabe · 24 Aug 2006, 17:38

MSO for me!

Lord Kagan · 25 Aug 2006, 15:16

MSO, Cant beat the intro.

I can't choose ... IMO they're completely different concerts, and it's like comparing apples to oranges. Both concerts and DVDs are perfect in their own ways, and I enjoy both of them equally

DIZZY DRUMMER · 26 Aug 2006, 23:46

Storytellers is my fav - Meat is soo relaxed - natural - I just love that video

MSO - is good - but Storytellers has my vote

dmcd1979 · 28 Aug 2006, 14:28

Don't care both equally good in their own right.
Im happy to watch both really. :)

**The Flying Mouse** · 10 Sep 2006, 21:40

I'm with Pud on this one.

The types of show are so different they can't be compaired

mikeloaf · 10 Sep 2006, 22:33

My Story Teller's DVD doesn't have L,G & M on it!?

Because it only features on the Concert CD as opposed to the DVD.

AndrewG · 11 Sep 2006, 15:07

I agree with some here, I do not see any point comparing these DVDs. Storytellers is a very specific format (one I find a bit boring to be honest) but Meat did a great job I thought and there were some funny bits in it.
I would have preferred a Meat Loaf unplugged DVD or something like that.

**Monstro** · 12 Sep 2006, 02:10

I gotta agree with everyone who says it's unfair to compare these...........................Saying that I'll say Storytellers but only because my mate was at the MSO one and called me when For Crying Out Loud was on..............I'm still in therapy!!!!!!!

See you all at the Albert Hall!!!!!!

**RadioMaster** · 12 Sep 2006, 16:36

Yes, I´ve got it now!
they´re not comparable!
Sorry for this poll

duke knooby · 14 Sep 2006, 01:57

interesting to hear the comments though, neither was great to me, but both decent perfomances.

I have to disagree here. The 'All Revved Up' start to Storytellers is awesome. My favourite Meat Loaf live intro.
