But I mean it lol, I did try, even owned Born In The USA album. If I'm completely honest I find his voice somewhat monotonous but each to their own.
BITUSA is a great album, and his biggest commercial success, but it's hardly his best album. Try Born to Run, and actually listen to the music, and the lyrics- any of Bruce's lyrics. I think if Meat sang some of his songs, people here would love them (note Prize Fight Lover). I could see a bit of swooning going on over this one: ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8qpTL1wxGQ

Besides, I thought it's not the voice so much as the presentation?

Someone thought to buy me a Springsteen Greatest Hits CD and other than one song I didn't really take to it at all. I'm unlikely to be 'converted' by attending a show because to be honest, I'd rather save the money for something else.

On the positive side, that'd be one more ticket available for someone that really wants to go and will appreciate the show more than I will. ;)

His albums are just no reflection of his live performances - I don't even listen to the albums as there's just no point! They're not a patch on the shows, which are inexplicable.

I listened to all his albums before my first concert. I like them but wasn't hooked. Especially Born in the USA. I hard BITUSA in full at Hard Rock Calling, never listened to it on the CD again.

Same with Darkness, got a decent Wembley boot, even that makes the CD sound like a demo.

My go-to for Darkness is a rip of the Paramount Theater DVD from the Darkness box. (There are a few songs from it on Bruce's Vevo channel) I doubt I'll ever listen to the original album again.

As for BITUSA, the bonus CD that came with High Hopes is very good.

I was just reading a review of the Brisbane show, and I thought this was pretty funny: :lol:

On one of his crowd-surfing sessions, Springsteen got more than he bargained for. He arrived back on stage with a toy kangaroo tucked under his arm, and a mobile phone inserted into his back pocket. “That's a first,” he quipped. “I don't know how it got there. I didn't feel a thing.”

happy birthday dk

Thank you very very much for the kind birthday wishes

Not just for Bruce fans, but an article on curing post tour blues :)

http://www.burgersandbruce.com/2013/08/coping-with-bruce-blues.html?m=1#.Uw-vzPl_vmo



I actually read this and I'm not liking the fact that the author suggests that post-tour blues can last until the next concert. In our case, that could be a VERY long wait. :(

Perhaps if Ryanair do start to offer flights to the USA trhen I'd actually be in with a chance of getting to Vegas.

I would never consider Ryanair longhaul nor matter how cheap. Somethings are worth paying more for, air travel is one of those things.

I can't see Ryanair longhaul happening for a longtime thanks to the Middle Eastern airlines.

Realistically, I can't see it happening for quite a while and certainly not within a timeframe for Meat's residency.

Given my circumstances at present, I couldn't afford to be too picky. It literally would be a choice between Ryanair or not going to Las Vegas.

[LucyK!]

Then choose 'not going' - I'm totally with Seb on this one, 10 hours 40 minutes on a Ryanair is unthinkable.

I heard last year about Jet2 starting flights to New York, not heard anything about Ryanair.

[Sebastian.]

Yeah I'd choose not going, I can do Ryanair for very short Europe hopes, but nothing longer than 2 hours max. I'd take easyJet any day. I hate the airline with a passion the way they treat their pilots is disgusting.

Jet2 do apparently do Newark, but I've never seen it go. I think it's a summer thing, every blue moon.

[AndrewG]

If you are willing to put up with rubbish service and being badly treated I'd say go and book the low cost airlines. For me I can't stand it anymore and only fly with KLM when travelling to my family in The Netherlands. Flew with Thomson last year and they were excellent too.
The stress of flying/travelling I think is too much to also have to endure rude childish behaviour and rules by staff of EasyJet and RyanAir.

The good thing about the low cost airlines is that has made the better airlines more affordable so perhaps that will happen with long haul flights as well.

I didn't even like EasyJet when I flew to Edinburgh last October.

I flew BA in World Traveler Plus to Tokyo, they were amazing and really surprised me. I'm a firm believer as well that if the airline offers a premium economy then it will always be worth the extra cost. BA's was amazing, great seat, great service and a fantastic crew - still pretty sure I could've bagged a free FIRST upgrade, though.

The Middle Eastern airlines are also amazing. Their economy products blow a lot of western airlines away, not to mention their premium classes.

I don't mind easyJet, they've become a much better airline over the years and at least serve airports on a map.

[JennaG]

It'd be hard enough for me to find the money for an economy airfare these days (thanks LAB) but after getting an upgrade to First Class on Virgin Atlantic once, I'd do it if I could afford to. ;)

To quote someone on The Daily Mail's website once, people on National Minimum Wage have no right wanting nice things and should learn to make do.

[LucyK!]

Jet2 are brilliant for European breaks - we did Rome with them (3 hour flight) and I'd have no hesitations doing it again. Ryanair I think of more as a bus that goes to Ireland lol

[Guy]

thanks :)

So your pi$$ed that you can't go to Vegas to see Meat because you spent your money seeing Meat?!

Based on that you'd have to never see Meat so that you always have money available to see Meat :p

It sounds silly doesn't it? :lol:

Sometimes I wish that I'd have done less shows on LAB in the hope that the money I'd have saved would have kick-started my attempts to save up to go to Las Vegas but then again, I'd probably still have found it difficult to have saved enough to make the trip worthwhile.

Alcohol and biscuits are a no for me but I can do loud music because my neighbour is a bit deaf and doesn't seem to object to my music.

Goodness me! Lady Gaga charges £800 for her M&Gs and other than a seat on an elevated platform on part of the stage, the package doesn't look all that special, certainly not special enough to warrant that kind of price tag.

[tonyloaf]

I think you must be a mad person to even want a standard ticket

I think you must be a mad person to even want a standard ticket

Even the standard tickets are something like £70.

Magic, our cat, always ignores the television. Today, while my wife was out, I played a Meat Loaf DVD and she sat through almost the entire 155 minutes with me :cool: At times it looked like she wanted to jump into the tv...
