You are a true Meat Loaf fan... [Archive]

Keep Rocking

11 Dec 2003, 01:22

in the german Meat forum is a very funny topic, so I decided to start it here also (since I am an active member only for one month, I hope there was no topic like that before. If there was one, please close this one).

So let's start:

you are a true Meat Loaf fan...

-when your boyfriend looks like that :roll: at the same moment you start talking about Meat (even when there are such important things like: Meat having the same heart-disease as yourself)
- when everybody who visits you in your appartment at first turns down the volume of your music
- when even your cell phone plays Meat (not talking about the Meat-pics as background of your cell)
-when you'll soon need another harddrive for your computer, because the first one is full of Meat-Pics (thanks to the ladys from "one for the girls")
-when your PC is nothing but a Meat Loaf Altar:background, screensaver, winampskins, endless playing of all your CDs stored as mp3,...
-when your boyfriend as an answer to your description of the superb opening of the first concert after the heart-surgery only says: the goal was shot by Roy Makaai (soccer player of a famous german soccer team) from a distance of only 5m
- when even your patients were asking you, if Meat has played the show on tuesday, december 2nd
- when you went up earlier in the morning, so you can check the web for the latest Meat news, before you have to leave the house at 7am
- when talking about somebody you can't remeber the name at the moment and therefore just saying:"the someone", your boyfriend automatically thinks you were talking about Meat Loaf- but this time you HAVE talked about someone else!
By the way: I would never ever forget Meats name
:lol:

My family is in no doubt who my favourite is - we drove from Kent to Killarney in Southern Ireland back in the summer (what a journey!!). As I had been left to load the car, I also loaded the 6 CD thingy in the boot with 6 Meat Loaf albums! As the car was so packed (and what a shame the CD thingy couldn't be got at :D ), they had a short course on Meat Loaf appreciation!! Mother's revenge for being left to do the donkey work I say! Shame too that I couldn't find any decent radio channels whilst we were stuck on the M25 for hours and when we were driving through Wales!

'Him Indoors' is also moaning that I never clean out the inside of the car either, so I did before our holiday, and just happened to remove all other CD's from the glove compartment for good measure!

- when even your cell phone plays Meat (not talking about the Meat-pics as background of your cell)

How about when you leave a message on your answering machine saying

Quote = my answering machine.
Hi.This is Meat Loaf.I'm afraid Neil can't make it to the phone right now, but if you wanna leave your name and number after the beep, then he's gonna get back to you......
(Plays from the album) Like a bat out of heeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
:oops:

And yes.Bat is also my ring tone :lol:

- when even your pets can meow, bark or chirp the melodies of meat-songs (ok, when my cat tries, it doesn't sound like meat-songs but it tries hardly, when I play meat at home :D ) or the fishes move their fins in time with the music
- when you have a really loud "beep" in your ear after a concert but you don't care and you try to get in frontrow again a few days later, still hearing this "beep", because you want to be as near to the stage as you can (fortunately it disappeared a few days later, puhh!)

Your boyfriend falls out with you because everytime he comes round he has Meatloaf 'shoved in his face'

You get dirty looks from people in the bar for playing all the songs on meatloaf 'which can work out quite expensive' and actually get called Meatloaf in one pub

When you are shopping at K-mart and you get excited to hear " You Took The Word..." over the intercom and you forget where you are at. You start to yell and sing the words to it just as if you were at a concert. At the end of the song there is a crowd watching you and telling you not to quit your day job.

Your mother points out that all of your bf's have shared a vague similarity to a certain long haired singer

your coworkers supply "something about Meat Loaf?" when you can't remember what you were going to say to them

You smile at the grocery store and chuckle to yourself because you see a package of 'Meat Loaf seasoning'

People say "NO MORE MEAT LOAF!" when it's your turn to pick a CD at a party

People remember you from highschool as 'that chick who never stopped talking about Meat Loaf'

When your out to Xmas lunch like I was with Scotty and Roys family last Sunday, and everyone else is singing carols, and your asked to sing something of Meat Loafs, (but I dried up) :oops: or when friends come to our BBQ in the summer, and they know for sure I'll be playing a lot of Meat Loaf, Um am converting a few people slowly but surely.

Or when the pupils at school ask 'Miss where's your jacket with the Meat Loaf Badges'

And Mousie, I do exactly that, I know full well I have everything of Meats, but cann't resist placing his cd's to the front of the display, and then informing the assistants, 'you've only one left etc.,' best make sure you place some more out'

Um almost forgot I also go to bed with Meatie my teddy with his Meat Loaf T-Shirt, bought for me by a lovely lady on this Forum in U.S.A.

Also nearly forgot most of the records placed on the juke box are Meat Loafs too :twisted:

You go to a pub and you spend all your coins on the jukebox to watch the CHSIB video at least ten times...

You come back home to see your parents and remember to visit the local cd store where you used to go as a teenager and the store manager recognises you after 7 (!) years and says: "Are you still in this Meat Loaf thing?" - you nod and then "I have something for you!" 8)

You try to convert all your family without success and finally, while watching Meat performing 2 Out Of 3 for the twentieth time, mom says "It's beautiful... can you translate it for me?" :lol:

Your brother doesn't want to hear Meat anymore - he's a hip hop fan! :roll: - 'cause he says (in his own words) "Meat sings TOO LOUD"! :twisted: (really?)

Your sister is fed up and tells you to stop talking about Meat and you say "Have you already forgotten Happy Bob in Zurich ?" and she smiles... 8)

Your mom tells you "You are in love with Meat Loaf!" and you respond "Mom... you know I love you... but you don't understand a thing about ROOOOOOOOCK 'N' ROOOOOOOOOLL!!!!!!!" :oops:

and so on...

sounds like there's a lot of us doing this. :!:

Here's some more...

When...
you go to tape the DirectTV showing of the Mexican concert at your 97 yo Grandma's...and she wants to watch it to see what you are into!

both sets of our parents (60s & 70s) ask us...what happened to Meat Loaf (after the collapse).

you tell someone you are taking a trip and they respond...is there a Meat Loaf concert there?

you decide to forego your winter escape to sunny Mexico to go to London in Jan., because Meat is playing there!

ROCK ON MEAT LOAF FANS! :wink:

Riiiiiight... and the question is: do we need a shrink? :?

One more:

When you read all articles about Meat on the web and you find one describing him in a so disrespectful way that makes you want to kill the journalist :evil:
and instead you send him an e-mail telling him how ignorant he is and how he should at least make a research and listen to Meat's music 'cause apparently he doen't have the slightest idea what is talking about!!!

but finally you advise him not to listen to Meat's work 'cause HE DOESN'T DESERVE IT! (yes... I did it! :oops: )

When you're telling your best friends how you managed to go to the very front of the arena.
You waited for hours before the doors were opened, then you rushed like a bat out of hell to the barrier!
You were so close that when Meat approached, roaring like an angel, his sweat reached everyone in the front! INCLUDING YOU!

and your friends respond in chorus: "yuk!" :? :? :?

and you say: "noooo, it was so cooooool!" 8)

...hmmm... Zurich...1994... :oops:

When...
you walk into a store and find CHSIB on the bottom of the endcap display of new releases. Then you switch CHSIB w/ some crappy pop star's CD to put Meat at eye level. Meanwhile, the wife, big Meat fan, runs off and pretends not to know you. And security proceeds to follow you thru the store!

Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do,
T

I did this also. The store didn't have any CHSIB on the endcap with the new releases. So I not only put some in the new release section, but also in the #1 slot in the top 10 section.

How about when -- you meet someone for the first time and after 1/2 hour they look at you and say" Yeah, you do look like a Meat Loaf fan."

Yup- St Petersburg, FL 1989. My husband shudders when I tell him that story (could be because I always say "did I tell you about that time Meat Loaf sweat all over me?" 8O :lol: ) However, it was a hella hella thrill for me- one that I'd love to repeat some day!

and alternate releases of the cd (with different live tracks!!)

And you have to own the vinyl for nostalgia purposes

and the picture disc vinyl

...and the tapes

Okay- so I have a FEW copies of each album... :lol:

But I've got a few:

Oh! yes! some1 else that feels their friends need to learn that the best music to listen to is meat and tries to convert their friends whilst their friends try and find the easiest and fastest exit out of the room!

Anyway, it's weird, 'cause some of them do not know what Meat sings (except AFL) and once they listened to another song they are curious and they use to ask "What is that?" and once you say :D "Meat Loaf!" they respond 8O "oh, okay, I see..." - just like "no thanx!" :(

they cannot admit they liked it!

Or when the nice lady in MVC (who is also a mat fan) sees you walking in adn switches hte instore music to CHSIB until you leave the store!!!!

Or when customers ring up the shop to complain about the paperboy whistling/singing meat at 6am when delivering the paper. And you don't tell them it wasn't the paperboy, it was you!!!!! :oops:

Forgot to add:

When you are willing to spend your day off driving to liverpool and back just to meet fellow meat fans (who turn out to be really cool peeps!!)

another one:

When you go to the movies without knowing that Meat is supposed to play in that film (happens all the time!) and then once he appears you get so excited - and no one around to tell it - that you just miss his part!
so, you have to come back and watch the film again! :P
