I'm guessing they're aiming for a pre Christmas release - can't wait!
I'd hate to see the album rushed like that. From the short clips we know this sounds quite interesting, I'd rather wait another 6 months than getting another rushed bat3-clone.
I couldn't disagree more when it comes to Meat's tweets. I consider any update special even though he's been consistently updating us almost daily. [...] I look forward to the end of my day to unwind and listen to what Meat had in store for the day.
I just don't think that one should feel obligated to post something on Twitter every day. Now there haven't been updates on Meat's page for about a week and people start to speculate why. What's the problem with taking a few days off from Twitter? I'm looking foward to new videos, too, but I rather want to enjoy them like a good wine than like a bag of potato chips. ;) Some things are worth waiting for and I rather like to see one video with someone like Brian May than five three-second clips of whatever.
I'd rather wait another 6 months than getting another rushed bat3-clone.
Couldn't agree more.
I enjoy any and all of Meat's tweets .. as others have said they're a lovely fillip to the day :) But he's a busy chap and it's not realistic to expect them daily, much as I loved it when he was in the studio every day and we had them.
As to the record coming out for Christmas .. No, I wouldn't want it to be rushed either, but just as important, the Christmas market is always targeted by flavour of the month artists and Christmas specials, and I wouldn't like to see the album submerged in these. Meat's said he will tour next year, and I'd expect them to carefully plan a release date for 2010 which would tie in best with that.

That's the logical, sensible approach. The promotion for the last two albums was neither logical nor sensible.
I know it's not official, but I've heard that it's going to be released sometime next Spring (2010). I'm sure we'll find out soon :-)

He should do what he did for BOOH2 and WTTN: do televised concerts on music channels.
Like the "History of meat loaf live" and "In the neighborhood" vh-1 specials and the "Intimate & Interactive" MuchMusic Special
Imagine if Meat and VH-1 opted for a CHSIB concert to be broadcast and decided to broadcast RAH or something? They tend to film meat on the good nights of the tour.
Or mabey another meat loaf storytellers session? i mean VH-1 seems to love meat.

Music channels? Does something like that still exist? :twisted: I stopped watching MTV and other former music channels years ago because of all those stupid "reality", gossip and dating shows and annoying ringtone advertising. VH-1 Germany stopped broadcasting in 2001 - which is a pity because it was one of my favorite channels.

I didn't realise that was rushing - I'm with you, I'd rather they take their time and do a quality job - from what I see so far, they seem to be. It's just that it would make a rather awesome Christmas present, assuming it was ready :D
I know it's not official, but I've heard that it's going to be released sometime next Spring (2010). I'm sure we'll find out soon :-)
It's Spring now, we at least over here it is!!!! hahaha Sorry, couldn't resist.

Yeah now that he's changed record companies hopefully they'll do the right thing by him and promote it properly.
Carole
I would like to see Meat be given the promotion they did with Green Day's American Idiot! Take a chance record company! Don't be big babies. The love of music is more important than the love of money!
I like how everyone in the Tweets are real people! I can't help but think they must have been bothered half the time with Meat and his camera! hahaha When I say real, I mean not acting like thugs or anything.
Yeah now that he's changed record companies hopefully they'll do the right thing by him and promote it properly.
Carole
is he with a new record company? and who?
it will be out for march/april, maybe february if theres a leak?
xmas time would be good for sales [ but not for chart position,media attention ]

Yeah he posted about a year or so ago about changing record companies. Sorry, can't remember which one he changed to.

i think that's extremely optimistic :?

another storytellers would be awesome, but not the same old songs, an updated version on recent albums maybe.
I do realise that would exclude alot of Steinman content and discussion but i think its a good idea
i think that's extremely optimistic :?
why? thats when its gonna be released, followed by a summer tour
its simple really!! as i said only february if it got leaked!! mar/apr time

Well, according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VH1_Storytellers), the latest one was in February this year, but in general they've been few and far between since 2001.
I like Meat's Storytellers' DVD, but it's a shame that Jim wasn't involved as planned.

I honestly dont know when the album will be released and I dont listen to "rumours" that get posted around the net because the vast majority are untrue but....
I do know that from we see on the twitter posts Meat seems really happy in the studio and that coming from someone who has made no secret of his hate for studio work is a big thing. I honestly believe that Meat being happy will result in something really special so when it happens is not important for me

nobody knows? but if the album is roughly a month away from being finished
its likely gonna be out for the spring time [ albums get leaked very quick these days ] so the artist cant leave them hanging around for long!!
but time will tell?

I'm sure he's just too busy :-)
Maybe he's working on another project while they're recording background vocals in the studio :??:
Either that or I wonder if Roxanne is on vacation ... she's the one who has been posting the videos for him. Hopefully we'll hear from him again soon.
Vicki
Patti is said to be in the studio soon, am I wrong? Cowboy's birthday is tomorow. If I'm right, surely something will be posted than.

Patti was in the studio, but she's back touring with Cher now.
But I think CC is supposed to be going to the studio to work on background vocals soon. Hopefully we'll hear something again soon :-)

I agree with you Vicki...and I have missed his twitter updates. When his schedule loosens up or if there are studio/album developments I hope he can get a tweet out. Oh and good point about Roxanne on vacation. Do PA's get vacations? Just kidding. Meanwhile, I'll be catching Ghost Hunters this week to get my Meat fix. :-)
Suzieq
Yes .. hopefully we'll hear something from him this week. And I'm really looking forward to getting my Meat fix with Ghost Hunters :))

In one of Meat's videos, he said Patti was in the studio Sept. 8. Maybe he's saving some video footage for a cd/dvd combo. That would be great.

That would be great.
Depends what would be on it!
this thursday will be 3 weeks since we got a tweet:(
maybe hes on holidays?:D
its getting boring without the meat tweets
Tweets are still quiet. I respect Meat's busy schedule. They say absence makes the heart grow fonder...however, prior to absence, I'm already REALLY REALLY FOND. I will still check daily to make sure I don't miss one tweet, as I do enjoy them.

Perhaps.
And not meaning to be argumentative, but a rare weekend tweet was put out for Randy's birthday. Now, I would think a certain someone's birthday that just went by would be a day worthy of a tweet. I'm just saying, that event to me is not nothing.

It's a fresh breath of air to know I'm not alone! I check it very often too!
well no tweets for a while, but it could be a good thing?
as the album is almost at its finishing stages i would say?
well all the recording anyway, i know meat said the last touches will be in november, so lets hope we get some great news soon:D
John posted on Facebook Monday that he's back in LA recording. Hopefully we'll get another update from Meat soon :-)
that's if he's recording with Meat
to those who've said they check daily for new Meat Tweets, no you're not alone, I do the same thing :) Meat's been very generous with his time in sending us all these videos, and I really appreciate it as I know we all do :)

Suzieq
I second that Suzieq :))
the loafs back, and brian with some nice chords
Brian May is just fantastic! That little piece of music definitely is a reason for me to buy the album, although I don't know what the CD will sound like yet. I can only repeat what Meat Loaf said in one of the videos: "C'mon Brian, a little bit more." :pray:
And now we know why it's been a while :wink:
Thanks again for all of the updates Meat !! I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying working on the CD ... and I can be very cool and patient :))
haha, All of them have lost their minds! I love it! Meat introduced a man who wrote a song called " Like a Rose. " Which to me sounds like more writers are being involved. There could be more than 15 tracks! The Meat bits of music we have heard are very cool! And congrats Doug and his family!

I know Suzie, it was great to get up this morning and see those couple of tweets from Meat, it really brightened up my day. Can't wait to get home and see if there's some more.
Carole
Oh my, it rained tweets today! So glad to see Meat back at the twitter's helm. That was like the cherry-on-top of my day. I had a fabulous day beginning at the crack of dawn and now to see Meat all relaxed, having fun, swearing, and "killing it" was the cherry-on-top of it all.
And hopefully with the gang in town, Meat can get a tweet out while they are doing their part in studio.
Sidebars: I'm excited for Adam's album coming out in Nov. too. Congrats to Doug for his new arrivals (lacking a little sleep is he???).

I was having the same problem. They're MP4 video files, and should start playing automatically with Quicktime. Have you tried re-installing your Quicktime player ?

I think the randomness is a big part of what makes them great! Really good to hear Meat enjoying himself.
I think he sounds a lot better (less difficulty breathing, less scratchy voice) when talking, so maybe all the vocal coaching and the better health is making the vocals he's producing come more easily and sound fantastic, and that makes it more fun - ie less of a chore?
You really could only hear the song very faintly on the recent twitters, but from what I could hear, I'm excited...
Meat's enjoying himself and his smile and laugh are contagious. I find myself giggling along at him and da' boys. I'm just going to sit back and wait...hanging patiently and cool.
CC has tweeted and she's coming to town to do her part. Joe L. has facebooked a positive status about the album. There's bound to be more generous tweets, but I shall leave greatness alone to work on the masterpiece.
Busting at the seams happy,

Since I got tired of different video file formats and the various players you have to use to watch them I installed VLC media player. It plays almost any format. You just have to enter the URL.
OMG, I just noticed that YouTube automatically translates all the video titles into German for me now!!! :wtf: In case you speak German, read this and have fun:
"Fleisch stellt einige der Paramore Bande"
"Eric Vetro Tropfen ins Studio"
"Fleisch schießt Rob produzieren und die Band Aufnahme"
"Fleisch-Kontrollen mit James Michael und Rick Brantley"
Good lord... :lmao:

I've got the same problems, I can't watch the videos since they're in that new format. None of my players can read them.
Are they hosted on another website, like they were on Youtube before? Maybe I could see them there.

Thanks a lot Suzanne. I've tried the Quicktime Player too, but it doesn't work either, probably because my computer is too old and can't download the appropriate tools.
I'm afraid I will have to read your posts to know what's in the tweets instead of watching them.
Florence
probably because my computer is too old and can't download the appropriate tools.
What kind of problem do you encounter exactly? Have you already installed Quicktime or does the installation of the tool itself fail? Any error message? What happens (or does not happen) when you try to play the video? How "old" is your PC exactly? Maybe you can provide some info regarding your system (operating system, how much RAM, CPU speed, browser version etc.), so that we can do some troubleshooting. :-)
I've mentioned VideoLAN's VLC media player before, it works fine for me, saved me a lot of trouble with Quicktime, Meat's MP4 files ;), other video files, codecs etc.
A workaround would be to save the files to your HDD and use a converter in order to transfer them to a more convenient format that can be played via a media player that runs on your computer.
I wish they'd stick to one site and one format when it comes to the videos. Don't know why they currently upload some to YFrog / Imageshack and none to YouTube. :?
I hadn't thought of a VLC Media player ... that may actually work better :-)
I was wondering exactly the same thing about YouTube .... I wish they would go back to posting the videos on there.
Having all the videos on YouTube would not only be more convenient, I also believe that it might work better with regard to promo. YouTube is extremely popular, a lot of people look for Meat Loaf videos there (not only die-hard fans) and they might stumble upon the "twitters" (:))), learning that a new album is being recorded.

Thanks Sarge for having taken the time to write me so complete an answer.
Concerning Quicktime, I've got the player and it works with other stuff. But with Meat's vids, I've got first a white screeen with the blue drawing at the middle (just as if it was uploading) for a few seconds and then it turned into a little icon picturing the blue thing broken.
I've got Windows and Real media players but I guess my problem comes from my computer which is both too full and too old and therefore I can't upload the latest versions of the players. My Windows version is just out of date, I'd be ashamed to name it :oops: Too bad for me...
Thanks again for having tried to help me.
Florence
Florence,
I hope it all sorts out for you. Suggesting a library computer may allow you to view the tweets? However, you may need to bring a pair of headphones for sound. Sometimes our library computers don't have speakers (due to noise levels).

I get the same .. my computer isn't that old and has plenty of space, and when I try to download the "latest" version it just informs me I have the latest version, so I'm in the same boat. My Quicktime works with other stuff too.
Caryl
Maybe this works: Download the files to your computer (right-click the link, select "save target as") and try to open them locally. Don't know if that solves the problem since I use VLC and haven't updated Quicktime in ages but maybe you're lucky.
Given the fact that numerous people seem to have to trouble to view the recent videos, I hope they'll decide to upload them to another place where they are better accessible.
Tonight I tried saving the videos directly to my computer (as MOV files) ... they worked better than playing them directly on Twitter. I still haven't tried using a VLC player, but I'm using a Quicktime player version 7.6.2.

You and I must have been posting at the same time :-P
I downloaded the files directly to my computer tonight, and they worked better than trying to watch them directly on Meat's twitter page.
I agree ... I wonder if it could also be a problem with Twitter being busy :??:
moving onwards!! i would say its only a matter of weeks before we get the title of the album, maybe even the album cover? it must be nearly finished!! exciting stuff!!
keep up the tweets meat
i cant wait to see the tweets, im ending rock and roll dreams on the storytellers dvd i just bought for third time. not very HD friendly!
Boy, I'm beginning to think "why" is my computer working when usually it is mine who has the major malfunctions. I hope that the alternative ways helps people because todays tweets were exciting.
I loved Justin's wake up call tweet. Thanks Meat for posting a bevy of tweets today.
Suzieq
Yeah thanks Meat for all the twitters today. It was a nice surprise when I got up to find 3 new tweets, then when I checked a little while later there were 3 more. I loved that one too of the wake up call. And it's exciting to see a new band member too. I wonder if she's an Aussie, Meat asked her in a previous tweet if that was an Australian thing to do.

Yeah Carole, I almost fell over my computer when I returned from the gym to see a list of new tweets. Importantly, I'm glad to know the gang is all accounted for plus one (Georgia). I took her for an Aussie. She had a slight Aussie accent. Oh and Patti is hysterical too. Looks as though she's twitter shy. LOL. She even called Meat an S.O.B.
Glad the atmosphere is lite (no pun intended to the white spotlight tweet) and fun.

I think the two guys (sorry I forget their names) singing with Randy are from Mother Superior, who wrote "Whore" for Pearl.

Maybe this works: Download the files to your computer (right-click the link, select "save target as") and try to open them locally. Don't know if that solves the problem since I use VLC and haven't updated Quicktime in ages but maybe you're lucky.
Thanks :) I took your advice and installed VLC .. though for some reason I have to save them to my computer and then open to view.
Given the fact that numerous people seem to have to trouble to view the recent videos, I hope they'll decide to upload them to another place where they are better accessible.
And it looks like he will :)

Yea, that last 5 seconds sounds really great. Meat sounded clear and better than he has in the last few years. I'm REALLY excited
Only 5 seconds, but holy rocking casbah that is awesome. The growl in Meat's voice is the first thing I notice. But its accompanied with a real powerful sound. A booming surge of thunder! Meat wasn't watering it down when he said this was going to a rocking album!
background vocals when 5 of them are standing in a row singing, "carry me to my grave!" i think it is very trippy. a exciting and strange time to be a Meat Loaf fan. I'm bursting out happy to the fullest to know what Doug, Covallo, Meat Loaf and crew have come up with. I was never around for the Bat 2 expeirience. But this one for me makes me feel somewhat it would have been like iin 1993. Call me over the top if you want, but I';m friggin' ecstatic!

Let's not drag arguments from other places onto here please.
I won't defend myself. However I hope that a few of you understand I'm pro-this new record. Also Pro-Meat Loaf and Jim Steinman. As a pair or on their own. Draw your own conclusions if you dare! I'm healthy, just wiierd. I'm sure other opinions could branch from there. I would read them with a smile on face. And when I'm done, it is probable I will still have a smile on my face.
I'm starting to connect the dots between the clips like Sarge. A clip from a while ago paired with the clip from "it's not metal" and "carry me to my grave". I love what I hear and I can't wait to sink my teeth into this CD. Metaphorically of course.
In the back of my head I am wondering if the piano song by Meat/Hugh Laurie was recorded already. But for sure, I am so excited as well busting at the seams happy for Meat.

Suzieq
I was wondering that about the piano song too. And like you, I'm really excited and extremely happy for Meat right now :))
I have been thinking the same thing! Groovy!
Overall, I am liking what I am hearing from the extremely short clippets we are being teased with on Twitter. Further, I am more than thrilled that Meat Loaf has chosen to actually invite us on the journey with him.
As for what the album may or may not sound like, and coming from the angle of a person who believes that Couldn't Have Said It Better and Welcome To The Neighborhood are two of Meat Loaf's strongest albums...this seems to be shaping up to be quite a remarkable piece of work.
I will fully admit that I blocked out most of Bat Out Of Hell III. I just could not get into the project. It seemed far to "pressured" for my taste on a lot of counts. However, the stand out songs on the album (Blind As A Bat and Alive) were surprisingly not Jim Steinman tunes.
I am only speaking for myself when I say this, but I am quite glad that Meat Loaf is finally working and making another Meat Loaf album for people who appreciate Meat Loaf.
To me, the "Meat Loaf Sound" is very diverse and unique from song to song-album to album-show to show. As an artist, he is about more than just over the top theatrical rock and roll. We have seen his style change with the years. Take his live shows as a prime example, and I am going to skip around a bit, the Born to Rock Tour was very melodic and theatrical, as was the Couldn't Have Said It Better and Three Bats/Seize The Night Tours; however, tours like Just Havin' Fun, Hair of the Dog, and Casa de Carne were all about rock and roll. I am glad he is able to switch it up from time to time.
I would like to thank Meat for taking the time to let us in on the creation process of what is sure to be one amazing rock album!!!
Dave

She's awesome. I can't wait to hear Meat & Patti's new duet.
Thanks everyone for your coments about what I had to say. I was apprehensive about posting my thoughts, as I knew they would ruffle a few feathers. Let me say that I consider myself to be a Meat Loaf fan, a Jim Steinman fan, as well as a fan of the work that Meat Loaf & Jim Steinman have created together. However, and I realize I am in the minority here, my favorite Meat Loaf songs - the ones I find myself turning to over and over again - tend to be newer songs in his cataloge that were not written by Jim Steinman. However (again); I do appreciate the work Meat Loaf has done with Jim Steinman over the years. To me, the song Couldn't Have Said It Better ressonates more with my ear and with my soul than I Would Do Anything For Love (But I Won't Do that). I know there are a lot of people who do not like the song Do It, but I found it to be a nice new sound for a Meat Loaf album. Yes, the lyrics are quite difficult to wade through, but it works (at least to me). I find that upon listening to the Bat Out Of Hell II album, I am left wtih the feeling that Good Girls Go To Heaven (Bad Girls Go Everywhere) and Everything Louder Than Everything Else and It Just Won't Quit [**side note, one of my fave songs of all time] all sound relatively similar to my ear. Personally, I like the vastly different sounds (again to my ear) we are provided by having multiple songwriters on the Welcome To The Neighborhood and Couldn't Have Said It Better projects.
I am so excited about this upcoming project, due to the multiple song writers working on the projects and due to the idea that Meat Loaf is taking on a new, more powerful and more hard rocking sound on this album. I personally hope that this really is an album meant to be listened to loud, in your car, and with the windows rolled down! One of my favorite live Meat Loaf experiences was the shortened version of I'd Do Anything For Love from the Hair Of The Dog tour, when the song just rocked. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing like a Meat Loaf power ballad, but I personally think that an album that just thrashes from start to finish would be amazing.
Looking forward to what this new adventure (album) has to offer Meat Loaf fans everywhere and hoping any new ventures in the way Meat Loaf sounds will bring even more fans into the mix!!!

I agree with most of what you've said, although Anything For Love is one of my favourite songs by Meat. I really love the CHSIB & WTTN albums as well, and think they are among Meat's best. While I love the stuff he does with Steinman, the songs he's done by other songwriters have been excellent as well. I tend to listen to his newer stuff more as well and really can't wait for the new album to come out.

There's Star Wars and Star Wars isn't there, the first three that were made of course being the ones that deserve no eye rolling at all and the more recent "prequels" deserving varying elements of eye rolling and tutting.

Did you notice? November is approaching real quick. The tweets have slowed up with studio progress, which can mean the November 10th target date (Meat tweeted about) can be absolutely realistic for mixing and all the particulars relating to that. And then we hurry up and wait......tick...tock......tick....tock....for spring. Whenever the release date it will be worth the wait.
I'm just so spoiled having to see Meat so often during this process. I've enjoyed learning about the recording process, since I was clueless before. Although we were like a flies on the wall for :30 to minutes at a time, Meat's timeliness with his off the cuff posts was sure not to expose the the big picture of CD/Album before its time. And oh, we have verbal/video proof (tweet) saying Meat LOVED working on this CD. Which makes me extremely happy as a fan, because in order to hear more new Meat stuff he has to do something he loathes (be in studio).
To refer back to the Paradise DVD: where I felt sadness for Meat when he says "He hates everything" and now I'm elated to hear that he loved his studio time.
Ah the roller coaster of emotions ... play on Meat ... play on.

These Twitter videos remind me of the Meat Loaf we all know and love. He's joking around and having fun again. In the ISOP documentary, he always seems so frustrated.

I can't believe Patti didn't even get mentioned in the documentary. She's performed with Meat longer than any other woman, but she rarely gets any recognition.

Maybe she will get a lot of promo with the new album and the next tour. And the new duet.

There would have been no logical reason to mention her. It wouldn't have helped Aspen in any way to mention Patti.

Evil One is right.
That documentary was in the "here and now" at the time it was being recorded. The documentary is about Meat's trials, tribulations and successes as of when it was being recorded. Patti wasn't in the band then. Although I love Patti to pieces, I just don't see where they could have placed a shout out to her.
But back on topic. Dave was not seen on the tweets but doesn't mean he hasn't contributed.

The documentary never really explained the backstory of why Aspen was there in the first place. But I think what she's referring to is when Aspen mentioned "the legacy that came before", there were some photos of the past singers, but no photo of Patti. But it's all water under the bridge. Onward and upward.

I don't recall seeing Dave in any of the videos. But I don't remember any videos with Mark and he recorded on the album.

I don't remember seeing Dave either. And I think Mark was recording in June, before the videos actually started :-)

I like the review of the whitney houston album, especially this quote:
TRACK 10 – I GOT YOU
Sadly, not a cover of Split Enz.
We've heard a lot of guitars in the clips so far (which I like)... What do you think think, will there also be piano-driven music? What happened to the duet with Hugh Laurie that was announced earlier? It hasn't been mentioned anymore.

Yeah, Sarge, I've been wondering about Laurie's piece as well. No tweets about it. It could be one of those closed surprises that we will unwrap when the CD hits the store shelves or when it's avail. on I-tunes for those peeps that are downloading.
There was a tweet a while ago about a song that will make us cry. I'm wondering if that is piano-driven. Or one of the duets with Patti (that we didn't hear) could be piano-oriented. My mind is wandering, but I really like the guitars in all the clips. My immediate thought is that this CD is going to be complex but complete.
I dunno' Sarge, what's your spin on it?

Me three.
Crossing my fingers that Meat tweets w/Hugh. That would be special to see the two working together again. We've been lucky enough to see CC, Patti, Georgia, Randy, et. al, when we were hoping to see them in studio. If Hugh is game, maybe Meat will be able to get a tweet out for us to salivate/ponder over. LOL. It is surreal to me when my TV world (Hugh) and music world (Meat) collide like this.

To QUOTE (http://www.showbizspy.com/article/186522/hugh-laurie-i-dont-understand-twitter.html) Hugh Laurie "As I look around my friends’ tweets I see banality on all sides. I don’t understand the purpose of it,"

I tend to agree with him on the whole .. However, Meat doesn't use his Twitter page for banal chatting does he? He uses it, presumably as a substitute for a well maintained official website, to keep in touch with his fans and entertain them with posted videos .. and I would think Hugh Laurie would understand that.

Ah, but Meat's tweets are video tweets and definitely not banal. I'm sure Meat can charismatically promote the idea to Hugh enough to agree to be part of his twitter. Still crossing fingers.

That's true, but I doubt Hugh Laurie follows was thinking of Meat when he made that quote and I doubt that he 'follows' him on twitter to know whether he does or doesn't. I think Hugh is saying that for the most part Twitter is full of shit, which he wouldn't be far wrong.

Right on all counts. If I wasn't "following" Meat on twitter, I wouldn't even bother with it. Funny thing is, Meat probably doesn't even realize he's a very credible person to follow in a not so credible venue.
If it happens at all, it would be great to see Hugh and Meat in a simple introduction tweet (as anyone else who had input on this project) or any studio time they can tweet out. Anyway, it's only a few more days away. We'll know soon enough.

That's an interesting idea, Suzie. Since there are two duets with Patti, maybe one is a slow song and the other is uptempo.
And Hugh is in too!

Oh I'm sure he wasn't, and I agree he's not far off the mark in general re Twitter. I was just saying that despite the fact Hugh Laurie is stunned by the banality of much of what's put on Twitter, should Meat want to do a short clip with him when he's in the studio I think he'd see that as different and acceptable.

Same here Suzie, I had no interest in Twitter or joining it before Meat joined it and probably won't bother with it when he stops, presumably when the new site is up and running he won't have any need for it any more.

I agree Caryl, I think Hugh would probably be agreeable to appearing in a short introductory video Tweet. William Shatner and various others have appeared in them.

I'm the same way ... I've gotten more used to Facebook, and prefer it to Twiiter :-)
But hopefully Meat will still use it to post quick updates (or links to videos) even after the new site is up and running.
