How Long A Fan?

[Malon]

Not sure if this has been done before because I'm new but thought it may be interesting to tell how old we are n how long we have been a fan of meat.

So I'll start

I'm 34 and have been a fan since I was 11. so I guess thats 23 years for me.

I also have 5 Daughters!!! the three older ones are 14, 12 n 11 they all love his music. not sure bout the twins yet cos they are only 5.

8) :lol: 8)

[ROSIE]

I'm well mature and have listened since 1978 I walked out of the house and on my first husband and Bat out of Hell was on the radio in the cab.

I was living in Florida then

Thank you for telling us some more about yourself, Malon.
...I have only been interested in ML for about 3 years now.
But there have been more topics about this, if you do a search you will find them...I hope! :D

Great day to you,

Hiya,
I'm 26 now, and I've been a fan for (I think) 13 years! (maybe a little bit longer ...)

The first time I fell in love with his music was in Butlins in Skegness when my Dad put 'Dead Ringer' on the duke box!! :D

So there you go ....

I have been a Meat Loaf fan for 25 years, the first time I heard him was in 1978, I was driving around listening to the radio when Meat came on singing "Two Out of Three Ain't Bad". I immediatly fell in love with Meat and his music. :) :) :)

I got the oppurnity to meet Meat as a meet and greet in 1995 in Daytona, Florida. I have been to two of his concerts and had a fantastic time. :wink:

And I converted my 23 year old daughter into a Meat Loaf fan, she went to both of the concerts with me and had a great time.

I've been a fan since the early 70's and Meats days with Stoney, I always knew that Meat would become a legend. Meats music and stage performances are an intregal part of my life, I have grown from a young headstrong lass, to a rather mature rocker now :lol:

Long Live Meat Loaf :!:

By the way I'm 53 going on 54 = Your Never to Old to Rock :lol:

[parkymac]

I'm 24 and I've been a fan for ten years - since the release of 'Bat Out Of Hell II'. My mum actually bought the album and didn't like it so she gave it to me and I've never looked back since!! And I even managed to convert her to becoming a Meat fan as well! :lol:

[Rob The Badger]

Thread author stole my favourite av! :evil:

Anyway, been a fan since around 1999.

[dukesofhazard]

I been a fan since Bat 2. Ten years or so. I'm 22 now & I first heard Meat when I shared a room with my brother. At first I didn't like him (meat that is not my brother!), but then I came to my senses after seeing a live performance of anything for love, and I'm now a much bigger fan than my bro! :P (he's a huge Queen fan btw :wink: ).

[RSG]

Long Live Meat Loaf :!:

And no, you never can be to old to rock and roll. well said Dottie. :P :P

[wolfwynd]

I've been a fan since Bat 2, I was 9 at the time, I'm now 19 so I've been a fan for 10 years :D I'm lucky to have seen Meat twice (once in 1993 and Nov 11th this year bothat the NEc in Birmingham) I loved him the second I heard the opening riffs of "Anytihng for Love" and heard his wonderful voice **happy sigh**

Never, EVER stop rockin' guys! Get well soon Meat :!:

Hi to all,

[Lauren]

Been a fan for about 15 years now, since the age of 12 when my science teacher decided to ignore the curriculum and serenade us with booh on his guitar instead - cool guy! :D

[Keep Rocking]

I'm a fan since BAT2. But my father listened to his music when I was younger (see Thread "how did you become a Meat Loaf fan?" for my complete story :wink: )
I'm now 28 years old and still getting younger :lol:

[mellis107]

I'm 23 and its about 1 year now since I first heard and appreciated the music of Meat Loaf. There's a guy at work i really should thank for bringing the Very best Of cd in....

[BillyPhatu]

My Dad has always been a casual fan, so I always knew about Meat, but didn't really get into him majorly until I was about 12ish. I'm nearly 18 now, and along with Ian Dury, he has been a major influence in making me who I am now! Can't go a week without listening to him :P

[izzy]

I've been a fan since 1977/78. Attending school discos etc. and hearing his music Have been a fan ever since. So that means I have been a fan for 25/26 years and thats a long long time. Used to drive my parents daft listening to BOOH at full blast all the time. :lol: :lol: :lol:

[shadow1000001]

I've been a fan for 25yrs. I was bitten by the bug when I was 7

[black dog]

Hi,

I've been enjoyed Meat's music since the 80's but became a real fan from the time I saw him on stage in 1996. My husband went with me to see the show because he knew how much it meant to me and despite himself thoroughly enjoyed it.

My 9 year old son is a great fan too. He was listening to it before he was born :!:

When we saw he was touring this year none of us could wait to see him and all three of ue had a night to remember :D :D :D

My husband has now agreed to take me to Cardiff in December so I think I have finally converted him. :twisted:

Shells

[Malon]

Will see you there then black dog 8)

Had tickets for the cardiff concert that was called of n just cant wait to see him. also takin my 3 oldest girls for their 1st expirence of a concert n I'm sure it's 1 they wont forget in a hurry.

[angel eyes]

:o :o I have been a Meat fan since the early 70's I am proud to say. I am now 48 and agree with Dottie that you're never too old to rock ( much to my childrens' embarrassment!!)

I love him to bits and will rock til I drop.

Love

[1voice1heart]

I've been a fan for eight years. I watched a VH1 special about him on Halloween when I was 14 and have been hooked ever since. I too shared a room with my sis who liked him and I didn't and I became a bigger fan :D

Love and Peace

[Skeleton]

I´m barely 19-year-old and was bit by bat when I was only a 6 years old.

[Loafy Meats]

I was around 7 or 8 when I first heard Meat Loaf so thats about 18 yrs - I'm 26 now... ouch!

[LostSoul]

I had never heard about Meat before Bat II (unfortunately!).

My sister told me about this really really really long video playing on MTV.
And then once I heard HIS voice, it was too late... :oops:
The next day I bought all of his albums (I mean really ALL!).

I was barely seventeen...

[mladay]

G'day all I have been a Meat fan since I first heard him back in 1978 with Bat Out Of Hell 1 and I'm 38 now so that makes it 25 years i have been a fan of the great man.

I have been able to see him only 5 time over the years here in OZ. Meat has not been here for shows for about 7 years but if all goes well with Meat and he is able to, he will be here for same show next year and I have ticket to 2 shows so just cann't wait.

Ian (mladay)

[sherrie87]

I'm 34 now, and I've been a fan since I was "barely seventeen", in late 86/early 1987. So that makes...17 years if I've done my math right. (And there is a great chance that I have not! :lol: ) It seems like I've always known about Meat, but it appears to be a scant 17 years. I hope I'm still as cool as Dottie and some of the other "more experienced" members in another 17 years!

[martha_mae]

I've been a fan since i saw Deadringer on TOTP...think that was about 23 years ago! :o
