Question for Mr. Meat Loaf!!!

[Caelan]

Dear Mr. Meat Loaf,

there is a question I want to ask you..

At the concert in the Netherlands Amsterdam 2003 you said that
"Couldn't have said it better" was the best album you made in 25 years.

Why didn't you use more of the songs from that album in your concerts this year?
(except Mercury Blues.)

Why did you stick to the old songs?

It's not that I don't like those, but I think it would be a good thing for you and the public to use songs from that album too..
They just are great..

Christel..

Hi Christel,

Just check some of Fire Ball messages here on the board. You will find the answer, :smile:

This is from an old topic "meets and greets:

I think the shows will be fine, and I'm sorry for some that I will do the hits and pretty much the same songs every night. We sold 400,000 tiockets for this tour and they are not the same 400,000 every night. For those who repeat shows try not to be upset but I have to worry about the other the other 398,000 who would be upset if I didn't play the songs, as far as the same Jokes for 5 years..... I don't know what shows they have been going too. But I change things or try to everynight. I try to give the best show I can every time I walk on the stage and I think selling 400,000 tickets 25 years after bat and 10 years after bat 2 says something about my live shows, Remember you can't please every one all the time, just try and please the majority most of the Time and always give 125%. Changes will include Heaven can wait and some other things. One more thing the 1 Joke I repeat has been The beginning of anything for love but every nite 97 to 99% of the crowd have not seen it before and it works, oh yea the Guitar solo bit. you know west end and Broadway shows have had the same jokes and song list for years and
and they seem to work. I like singing what I like to sing and try to put different songs in for every tour. also different beginnings and endings different a as far as being creative I think the lights, props have changed, a few years ago I spent 200,000 dollars on old film footage which I picked out by watching about 300 hours of film and also sept a week with an editor putting it together, then there was storytellers which was very different. every tour has to be different in some way like this one playing the new songs from the new album. So if if went on stage and did't do bat or paradise or anything for love , or some other things the couple of hundred people who saw the show might be happy but the other 11,000 might be upset .Do you not think so. I think my shows are the best I can do and if you don't like them don't come ,yes you can have you opinion and are more than welcome to it and can post it here just don't be upset when people disagree ,like me..... also somtimes if you don't know what your talking about you can look very stupid. this posting is In response to another posting on the MLUKFC.
Love Ya,
Meat

YES, and I think "DID I SAY THAT" is one of the best!! :D

me too..:D

read the reply from Fire Ball..and oke most people in the public want the old hits..but only mercury from CHSIB?..hhmm hoped for a couple more songs from CHSIB....even when he sticks with some of the big hits..it can be done...

so my question still stays..
and most because of the words he used in 2003

"the best album in 25 years....":!:

Why didn't you use more of the songs from that album in your concerts this year?

Because he just said that to sell more records.
