[LucyK!]

It's been confirmed that Meat WILL be taking part in this event, more info to come next week.

Tickets are £5 for the practise session on saturday and £20 per day for the Sunday and Monday sessions.

Anyone thinking about going?!

[AndrewG]

Unfortunately I will be in Disneyland then.

[meatloaf-unofficial]

It will be the only time I wacth any sport. Hate sports but I can watch golf because Meat is playing it :)

[Alex]

I'm on my Jollies till the wednesday the week before, so it's timed nicely! I'll go I think - something to do for a few days! :D

[LucyK!]

Alex I feel a road trip coming on lol!

[chrissylf22]

where is it being held?

[LucyK!]

Celtic Manor in South Wales, it's about 90 minutes out of London

http://www.celtic-manor.com

[LucyK!]

http://www.celtic-manor.com/all_star/ has details of the event itself, including booking tickets, rather than just the venue

[samurai7]

It's rather annoying that I live so close to the Celtic Manor, but can't attend cos I have to do some gigs. :(

Not that I'm sad about doing gigs, cos I love it, but everything always seeems to happen when I'm working.

Thanks for that Lucy. I can see a road trip coming on:lol:

[hayley]

Grrrrr that is the weekend of my boyfriends 21st that sucks!!!!i will have to miss that one!!:(

[SuperLoafMan]

I would like to go, Will think about it this week,

Sure I can get a few mates to come along for the ride on sunday!!

I guess it will be a good few hours from where I live to there though, better sort out the Meat collection for the car!

[MeatGrl1]

Planning to go but then realized you had to pay for the three days seperatly which sucks! Will still show my support by watching on the telly!

[LucyK!]

According to Celtic Manor, tickets can be purchased on the day at the gate, however if you buy on the gate they won't provide a parking pass

Which means you guys will have to walk. :))

[Alex]

Had a thought, maybe there should be some "Golfin' Meat Loaf" titles. ( -g :lol: )

Everything Is Putted.
Hole 11 Can Wait.
FOUR! (Crying Out Loud)
Dead Ringer For Woods (Tiger Woods that is).
Out of the Bunker and into the Rough.
Good shots go to the green, bad shots go everywhere.
Lost Balls and Broken Clubs.
You Never Can Be Too Sure About That Shot.
Keep Driving (err.... ).

Probably my favourite....
Bad 4 Wood.

But of course, when you really, really need it the most - there's pitch and putt dreams on hole 2. (the par is yours forever!).

[Hypnobabe]

:lmao:

[LucyK!]

Alex don't you ever tell me you've had a busy day at work again!!

[chrissylf22]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[hayley]

Has anyone heard any more about this as i cant see meat anywhere within the USA team???
Or have missed something really obvious somewhere along the lines?

[AndyK]

You're looking at the 2005 website there Hayley, Meat is taking part in the 2006 event :))

[hayley]

Theres that obvious part i was talking about :oops: :lmao: maybe i should go put my glasses on

[Lord Kagan]

Getting old there hayley?

[hayley]

if only that could be the excuse lol

[LucyK!]

The European team has been confimed already. The US team is to be announced this week, if it hasn't already, though the only two i know so far are Meat and Alice Cooper

[Lord Kagan]

Sounds like its gonan be an interesting match already

[MeatGrl1]

Damn I wanted to be there!
But alas it would have cost too much:-(!

[MeatGrl1]

Had a thought, maybe there should be some "Golfin' Meat Loaf" titles. ( -g :lol: )

[RadioMaster]

I didnt know that Alice Cooper was golfing!:shock: What happened to the good ol´ Hard Rockers?

[MeatGrl1]

I didnt know that Alice Cooper was golfing!:shock: What happened to the good ol´ Hard Rockers?

The Roadie duo team up again!!!

:heart: it!!!!

Though...

"Alice Cooper.. Er is she one of Charlies Angels?"

:lmao:!

[RadioMaster]

:lmao:!

Funny...
saw that movie exactly 5 hours ago for the first time...:D

[MeatGrl1]

First time?

Wow!

I've had it a good few months now:oops: !

[Jeanie]

I didnt know that Alice Cooper was golfing!:shock: What happened to the good ol´ Hard Rockers?


Alice Cooper has played golf for 20+yrs, and was kind of shunned by fellow R&Rers, beacause it didn't fit into the R&R image of "cool" back then. Some yrs later though they realized what a great asset it could be to them, like making deals and bouncing ideas of each other ect, like the corporate world has done for eons, now lots of R&R celebs play golf. :)

J.

[RadioMaster]

Am I getting really really senil in my young age, or did we have this whole Alice Cooper talk already some months ago...?

[dukesofhazard]

South wales Echo today has info of the US team. No Meat Loaf mentioned :( closest is Alice Cooper - maybe whoever started the rumour got Meat and Alice mixed up :?

I guess we'll have to wait and see for the full confirmed line up.

[MeatGrl1]

I got my TV guide a few minutes ago and it looks like Meat Loaf will be one of the 'FOUR MORE SURPRISE CELEBRITY GOLFERS TO BE ANNOUNCED FIRST SHOW', I am so excited! And if you don't believe me.. Sorry it is a little on the blurry side:oops: !

[Deb]

What's a little blurry on the side?

Which mags this in?

TV Times

[dukesofhazard]

Hope he will be one of the four 'surprises'. I wouldn't take the South Wales Echo's word for anything anyway - they're not the most reliable source!

Like I said we'll probably have to wait and see.

[MeatGrl1]

Like I said we'll probably have to wait and see.

He has confirmed he IS there!
The paper is talking baloney!

[Deb]

Where does that say he'll be there then :?

And where has he confirmed it?

[MeatGrl1]

Where does that say he'll be there then :?

And where has he confirmed it?

I have my sources!

[Deb]

Right, dont be to helpful now will you :? So shall we all go and book tickets, hotels and trains on that then?

[MeatGrl1]

Right, dont be to helpful now will you :? So shall we all go and book tickets, hotels and trains on that then?

It will be worth it!

[Deb]

Gee thanx

[MeatGrl1]

Gee thanx
Your very welcome;)

[Deb]

Is there anyone that does actually know anything about this golf thing?

Someone saying Meats confirmed and then not saying how isn't really helping.

Deb

[LucyK!]

I have my sources!

Which are...?

As Deb quite rightly said, people are going to have to make some quite extensive travel/accomodation plans if they want to attend this...

[MeatGrl1]

I cannot say!
But believe me he will be there!

[Deb]

So will you refund us all our expenses when he isn't? lol

[LucyK!]

My worry just now is that - as you'll have noticed - it was me that started this thread confirming Meat would be there, and this was info that I received very recently. It's 4 days before the event now and there's still no mention of him on the team lists, so I'm sat here shrinking into my seat hoping to God he does still go so that people don't have to cancel plans based on my info!

So you'll understand the request for any information possible!

[ChrisBelfast]

The first thing that brought to light that Meat was playing this was the Mirror newspaper who mentioned Meat and Alice Cooper a couple of months ago. Then a few people PM'd him and he said either yes, or at the moment he was scheduled too (according to people who pm'd him) This is now a couple of months on things can change though. So who knows, but yes f two months ago he was appearing. Dont worry Lucy, it was the Mirror newspaper that first posted this that brought the whole thing to light, so its them to blame of anything, you were just sharing what you knew.

Right you are Chris. Just a suggestion ... has anyone thought about sending Meat a PM, asking if he was still going to be there ? I'm sure he's extremely busy right now, but he might answer your question if he gets a chance.

We talked about Alice Cooper a few months ago, but it wasn't about golf.

Lucy, don't panic just yet! According to the ITV website, the last 3 American team players will be announced live on Saturday. Don't know if it's the 'norm' for this sort of thing, but when my son was on holiday with one of the European Team players a few weeks ago, he still wasn't sure if he'd be in the team or not - at that time he was down as reserve, but now it's been announced in the past few days that he is in the European team..... and he seemed to be aware that Meat was in the line up.

[RadioMaster]

I´d just suggest you to call whoever organizes this event and ask them if he´s in. I´m sure they´ll help, if they can.

[Deb]

I can't see Meats name being in them 3 to be announced, for the simple reason, surely Meat would have to know if he's coming or not by now, as he'd have to fly here? I'd say the 2 or 3 names as it is in different places, are those of Americans that are already in Europe. And that they are trying to fill places of Americans that have since said they could do it, been unable to for what ever reasons. Such as Meat. I could be wrong here but it makes far more sense. I don't see what announcing 3 names at the last min will achieve for ITV. I'm, guessiing it just means they ahaen't got the 3 names themsleves yet.

Deb

I agree with this too. If Meat was in this line-up, I think his name would have been in that first list already. Maybe he couldn't make it, due to being busy promoting. It would be a shame if this is the case. :D

[LucyK!]

Even if Meat is one of the names that's announced live on Saturday, that's still going to mean lots of people can't go - I certainly can't go down there on Saturday morning and pay for tickets, hotels and travel in the hope that it's him

[Deb]

I agree Lucy :( Why is everything always so uncertain lol. I'd like life to be uncomplicated :D

Deb

[Ageing Bat]

I agree Lucy :( Why is everything always so uncertain lol. I'd like life to be uncomplicated :D

Deb


That would be far too easy!!

[LucyK!]

In a last ditch attempt so find something out, I have emailed the very nice lady in charge of special events at Celtic Manor and explained the situation, ie, we want to go but can't pay for everything on the basis he MIGHT be there, ( went for the sympathy vote ) so hoping she'll be able to advise on way or the other...doubtful but no harm in asking

[Pudding]

With the recent pictures of the band rehearsing on Pauls website, I highly doubt Meat's involvement with the All*Stars golf tournament, but you never know.

Pud :twisted:

[Deb]

LOl Sarah, but I need EASY. :-P

I think that one's been tried Luc :? They don't know anything either. Nor does the NEC, which makes me think even more that nobody knows who these other celebs are and that they are trying to fill places of those that can't now make it.

Deb

[LucyK!]

With the recent pictures of the band rehearsing on Pauls website, I highly doubt Meat's involvement with the All*Stars golf tournament, but you never know.

Pud :twisted:

I didn't think of that...though just to be fussy, Paul says on the site that the rehearsal was just the 5 guys in the picture, non of whom are Meat...

[Chris]

I got a number via a friend of a friend last night adn rang ITV this morning.

I think i spoke to everyone at the relevant production company apart from the tea lady :shock:. The nice chap i finally spoke to confirmed that Meat was a possible for the show but that the American team had not yet informed the production company of the final line up.

He has promised to ring me as soon as the line up is confirmed so i shall post more if i get it.

Not much help I know but hey ho....

[LucyK!]

Thanks for that Chris, at least we know not to expect anything for another couple of days...

[Deb]

Listening to radio ulster now and they said they interviewed Meat from london yesterday :D

So looks like we have golf :D All being the radio staions telling the truth lol and it wasnt on the fone from the USA :-P

I'm recording the interview and will put it up in a few.

Deb

[Deb]

Scrap that theory :( Marion Ravens there and I don't see why she would be here now. Probably when they were here for the London Listening party :(

[Deb]

theyre still saying live in a studio yesterday live in london

Maybe Marions playing golf as well :D

[RadioMaster]

did anybody record it?

[Deb]

Yeah me. Just checking there isnt more after this song then I'll put it online

Deb

[RadioMaster]

Thanks Deb!:))

[LucyK!]

Email from Celtic Manor;

"Hi Lucy,

It is heavily rumoured that he is attending but again i can not confirm this, as i am not told until they release the names on television on Saturday evening.

Sorry for any inconvenience "

[Deb]

So I guess they want the suspense for the tv, which is wonderful for the viewers, but not for those planning to go lol

Oh I long for a simple life :-P

Deb

[RadioMaster]

So somebody should mail/call the one, who´s responsible for the americal team:sherlock::

[Meataholic]

There's no chance of a simple life Deb ;)

Lucy - I had a similar response when I spoke to a guy from Celtic Manor yesterday.

As far as I can gather, RM, no one knows for definite who the final American players will be & I'd guess that organizers of the American team are frantically trying to sort everything out!!

I would not be surprised if Meat himself doesn't know for certain whether or not he is playing:shock: - perhaps he is trying to juggle various promotional activities!

Heather

[Deb]

If that interviewers telling the truth and that was yesterday, then I think meat will be there. If he's telling fibs to make it sound better and it was really when they were here for the Listening Party, then i don;t think meat will be there lol. (God I even confuse myself)

Have to laugh at this bit from the interview....

Presenter: And what will we see in the autumn time?

Meat: The leaves changing colour :keke:

Deb

[Meataholic]

Ok, this is getting a bit too obsessive now but I have just phoned Radio Ulster &, for what it’s worth, the lady there said that the interview definitely took place yesterday :-)
Heather

[Deb]

LOL heather. Answer your fone :D

[Deb]

Is anyone actually planning on going to the golf?

Deb

[Eva]

Is anyone actually planning on going to the golf?

Deb

Maybe Meat..... :lmao:

Love,
Eva (the nut)

[Meataholic]

Maybe Meat..... :lmao:
lol - I love it Eva!


I'm going to the golf, but only if there's a good chance that Meat will be there :?

(My mobile phone is switched on now Deb:-P)

[Deb]

Lets hope so Eva the nut :D

It's not Heather :-)

[Meataholic]

It is on Deb, I've just got rubbish reception here! I'll phone you later & we'll see if we can work out what's going on concerning this chaotic celeb golf :?

Diane

[Meataholic]

LOL. Quite true Deb. But if we end up standing in a “field” in south wales (possibly in the rain) for the whole of the bank holiday weekend & only manage photos of Alice I don’t think we’re going to be particularly happy!! (no offense to Alice or his many fans)

[dukesofhazard]

South Wales echo have confirmed Meat Loaf WILL be playing at the All*Cup!

There's an interview(ish) but I can't scan the page so I'll do my best to copy it in another reply to follow - bear with me!

[dukesofhazard]

Here's the meat (so to speak) of the feature:-

"I'm Going to be wearing a nice little outfit" laughed his royal Meatness, counjouring the image of him in plus-fours and a lemon yellow Pringle jumper.

"But Tiger Woods plays golf, what I'll be doing is something else entirely. I don't play golf in my spare time because I don't have spare time but. But when I had to ride a horse for a film I went to horse riding school and what I learned was not how to ride a horse but how to look like I could ride a horse. Likewise I went to golf school for a day to learn some techniques and they gave me some great advice. Am I expecting to win? Let's put it this way, I play golf a certain way - I'm the golf illusionist. I don't like people to be quiet when I'm playing. In fact I encourage people to shout at me on my backswing and make loads of noise so that when I hit the ball I can reply to those shouts so the crowd are looking at me and not where the ball goes. It's a deception."

Meat Loaf is back in the UK to promote his latest album Bat Out Of Hell III: The Monster Is Loose, the second sequel to the eighthmost successful album in history. It's had a troubled birth with El Loaf involved in a legal wrangle over the rights to the Bat Out Of Hell trademark with his partner and songwriter Jim Steinman.

"The problem is that Jim hates my manager and I hate Jim's manager, we each think the other is the Devil incarnate. So the communication broke down and if Jim and I could have just sat down and talked about it we would have been fine but once other people's agendas interfere it becomes a different thing."

The dispute was resolved and Steinman has contributed 7 songs to the new album so are they on good terms?

"Yeah, me and Jim are getting on fine. After this album there is a boxed set coming out so I see e-mails flying between him and my manager."
But do you actually talk to each other?

"We talk on e-mail"

It seems a tense relationship based on mutual need but he sharply countered the intimation that he need Steinman to succeed.
The new album has several influences outside of Steinman with performances from Brian May and Steve Vai and writing from Nikki Six and John 5. It's produced by Desmond Child who has altered Meat Loaf's vocal style to make him hold back more. The result is a record that, while perhaps inadvisably harder-edged in production to make it more 'now', features some of Meat Loaf's best vocal work to date.

"I read interviews with people in magazines and they talk about what their influences are, who their contemporaries are, but I don't exist in that world. For me it's about the lyrics and the emotions because all that matters to me is what I'm doing. Bat Out Of Hell is like nothing else out there."

Bat out of Hell III is out on October 31. Tickets for the Golf are available at the gate on all three days with parking available on park and ride only.

****************

Phew! That took some doing! Pretty good interview for the Echo I think - especially interested in the box-set due out, hopefully with some bonus features (though I'll probably get it even if it doesn't).

Hope you guys appreciate all that typing and that someone hasn't beaten me and scanned the page!!!!;)

Thanks thats great news and thanks for doin all the typing!:D

[dukesofhazard]

I'm going to have a lie down now!

The echo also nicked the idea that someone on here had about 'golfing up' Meat's song titles - they're a bit rubbish - but here they are

Putt Out Of Hell
You Took The Clubs Right Out Of My Bag
Par-adise By The Scoreboard Light
Lost Balls and Golden Girls
Second Shots Into A Par Five May Appear Closer Than They Are
Not A Dry Eye In The Clubhouse
Rock & Roll Dreams Play Through
Dead Ringer for Clubs
Out of The Frying Pan (And Into The Bunker) *Surely Out of The Water Hazard (And Into Bunker) is "better".
All Revved Up With No Place to Golf

Now that my sides have finished splitting - I'll have a nice cup of tea and rest my typing fingers!

Hopefully someone else can help you out. If not, I live in the USA, but have a PAL VCR and a program that lets me capture video onto my computer. If you could send me a copy of the tape, I would be happy to upload it and share it with everybody here :-) Just send me a PM and let me know !

Thanks

wats the programme you use vicky ???

[Vickip]

wats the programme you use vicky ???

I have a video capture card built into my computer :-) I can plug my VCR directly into it and use a program called ShowBiz to capture the video and make the clips. I also have WinTV and an external video capture device from Hauppague (which works better sometimes).

[MeatGrl1]

Have done screen caps of the show for those who were either unable or missed it. Meat was in top form and was his usual funny self:heart:.

[MissAsh]

Can't belive I managed to miss this topic... something tells me I'm going to be spending my entire day glued to my TV watching this today (Sunday)!
Thanks a lot for posting those screencaps MeatGrl1 :D

[Jayd]

I have Windows Multimedia Edition, with Sky box plugged in. I didn't think last night about recording it, but will do as much as poss today, and will try to upload it somewhere, or give it someone else to upload it. Hope that helps. :D

[Alex]

They just tee'd off.
If you have digital thingies or whatever and you can get ITV3, they seem to be doing massive coverage.

Meat's first shot was a good shot, but he is pitted against Bruce Forsieth and Chris Evans - a very good couple.... So I don't hold much hopes.

Not sure I'll be going tomorrow which is a shame, but i'll be keeping an eye out mlukfc people :)

[meatloaf-unofficial]

I'm in the middle of watching it too :-) Meat is doing so well - anyone know how I can stream ITV2 online for free ????

[Mick Loaf]

Watched the preview last night and Meat had me laughing. He's such
a personality that he took over, Ant and Dec didn't know what to do.
It was great! I've got the coverage from ITV3 on now. Hope Meat does
well but hope Team Europe kicks Team US's butt.

[MissAsh]

I've been watching ITV2 from the start, Meat's brilliant and despite my being british I'm cheering on team America!
Saw the little 'Star Fact File' earlier, "Your message for team Europe?" "FOOOOOORRRREEEEE!" :D

I'm hoping to get a few screencaps off my computer's TV today so if that works out I'll get them up here asap =)

[SuperLoafMan]

It has been absolutely great watching Meat on the all star golf show, he is a great laugh and like one of the commenters said, just been such great entertainment, had me laughing when he came on last night and wouldnt sit down then told everyone to chill.....great :D

Coming back on now so going to watch the rest of the day!!

[wizardofodd]

today has been realy fantastic and very entertaining, i loved it when meat hit the ball straight in the river and he laid down and told the buggie guy to run him over and put him out of his mysery lol its been on all day on itv:2. its a shame he lost but hey nem mind was very good to see him gettin a lot of air time.

[MissAsh]

For those of you who've been missing out on all the action, I have looooaaaads of screencaps. A few teasers:

[amethyst]

Did anyone hear the commentator on the 16th (i think it was) when Meat had just played his shot onto the green, they said that his wife and mother in law were there with him.... so, is he married now? Just wonderin'. :D

ames xx

[ChoccyBat]

Yeah I think he divorced and remarried a couple of years ago.

[Jeanie]

Thanks MissAsh, for all the wonderful pics. :))

Yeh I was watching this as well...it was on the 14th and I think Meat was concentrating on getting the ball to the green. Instead he sliced it and it went straight in to the water. When he lay down in front of the golf buggy was so funny. Oh I wish I was there...the whole event looks like a lot of fun (even though the 2 teams are playing for the trophy). :D

Thanks for the pictures but what is he doing on his knees?

[Vickip]

Thanks for the pictures but what is he doing on his knees?

That was probably from when he hit the ball into the river :lol:
First he got down on his knees and then laid down on the grass, telling his caddy to drive over him and put him out of his misery :lmao:

No, not wife, the commentator said "partner" and mother-in-law, it had me confused, because, if it is his mother-in-law, then she must be his wife, but he said partner.

[Vickip]

Maybe he said "future" mother-in-law :??:
Vicki

[MissAsh]

He hit a fantastic shot and was so happy about it that he got down on his knees and kissed the ground :lol:

He ( and the others ) seem to be having a very good time and the crowd are loving it too. It's a great programme format, it really bring out the best in people. Unfortunately I'm working tomorrow so will have to tape the end.

[Alex]

They are off again. Meat is drawn vs Chris Evans and Ian Wright - can't recall the name of his american partner though.

[Lord Kagan]

I dont want my ass kicked hayley:shock:

[hayley]

Who said anything about an ass kicking? :wtf:

[Lord Kagan]

You said somewhere meat kick our asses

[hayley]

ohhhhhhhhhh lol :lol:

[Lord Kagan]

Meant to quote it but was too lazy to find it

[hayley]

Go meat!!!!I hope you kick our asses!!!!!
There u go!

[Lord Kagan]

thanks lol, ill try it again

Hayley i dont want my ass kicked :shock:

[hayley]

Well it looks like we are goin to whoop the USA ass anyways lol so no ass kicking for the europeans!!

[Paul191]

Meat just made a great putt. Then started yelling to God..... or something.....

This whole show is creating fantastic publicity for Meat!

[Jayd]

Well I do apologise, because now the commentator, says there is Meat's wife and mother-in-law, yesterday, it was partner and mother-in-law, so maybe Meat has remarried. :D

[Eddie's Teddy]

He's been quite good fun again today. His putting sucks though.:lol:

[Alex]

yeah, and the commentators don't mind pointing that out :lol:

[meatloaf-unofficial]

Now can anyone help me to this -- just before, it sowed Meat's wife - deborah and family.. I s Deb Meat's second wife ????? and if you saw it be4, you will know that he has a nice and also deb's mother was there too. I like to see Meat has a strong family support :-)

[Alex]

I don't know if they are married - though the show definately claimed they were. If so, then Deborah would be Meat's second wife.

Meat's just played a shot into someone's bag, full of scotch eggs, golf programme and lots of other bits and bobs. Then, off course, this meant Meat could take the bag and walk 50 yards or so and empty its contents about a foot from the hole. :lol: I don't think Team USA are gonna win, but it's gonna be a fun last few holes :P

[Eva]

[needmoremeat]

Well, I've never watched golf so enthusiastically before! I'd forgotten about him being on until my brother told me today, so we've all spent the day watching it!:lol: Great entertainment, though! Especially when he almost assaulted that poor guy!:lmao: Been nice sitting relaxing and watching it, although at the end as my brother said "so now from Jane seymour and Jodie Kidd to Vera Duckworth":lol:
Oh, but how cool was it when they played Bat on the cart en route to the 18th?!

[Charlotte]

I watched Meat play at the Celtic Manor!! (Well...I only live 10 mins away!) Its all over now. Europe won. Meat entertained the crouds and played a very good game.

[SuperLoafMan]

Been watching this all afternoon and I have just gone to pick our takeaway up and come back in and said that Meat was in a cart with monty with Bat playing, my mum said it was ace! Did anyone manage to tape that bit and mind sharing it, would love to see that bit!! :D
God I knew i would miss someing good :evil:

[Paul191]

It was really good. I managed to get off work at 11 in the morning so I could get home for the start at 12. Meat entertained all day and I thought it was ace when Bat was being played in the cart. Meat was singing along quite enthusiastically aswell which I thought was great. I have to say, I felt sorry for the guy he rugby tackled, but began to laugh when he started rolling him down the hill.

The Americans lost and I think Meat took the news suprisingly lightly. He got a lot of cheers from the crowd at the end aswell which I was happy about. Well done Meat!

[SuperLoafMan]

Meat also rugby tackled a guy, lol thats great, hope someone can send me the clips of them :D

[Paul191]

LOL, It wasn't a violent rugby tackle..... he kind of picked him up by the legs then dropped him to the ground..... It was really funny.

[needmoremeat]

LOL, It wasn't a violent rugby tackle..... he kind of picked him up by the legs then dropped him to the ground..... It was really funny.

I missed that bit at first as was only listening to the TV for a while, only saw the guy on the ground and knew it would be Meat's doing, but then saw it twice in the montages at the end of the show!:lol:

[Mick Loaf]

Meat's ball landed in someone's bag so he started bringing out all the stuff.
THen he just knicked the bag and legged it onto the green LMAO
when I saw it.

[mjbo]

An excellent few days entertainment overall. Pity someone had to lose. Anyway Meat certainly was great entertainment (how I am sorry I did not decide to go along). Here's to next year and I hope Meat will take part again (time permitting if a tour is happening).
:D :D :D

[wizardofodd]

this has been some great publicity for meat and he has some brilliant air time. he has been the most entertainin person there and this is great promotion (if u can call it that) 4 bat 3. however the only time bat 3 was mentiond was when they intervewed a lady and she was there 4 meat and she mentiond the new album in october.

[Paul191]

Meat just won an award and knowbody knew what it was for, but hey, it's still great. Plus, Chris Evans gave Meat a huge compliment by saying "for about three decades I used to think Meat had a huge ego, in a good way...... but now Ive met him, I've realised all he does is give, give, give, all the time"!

[vrg]

Has ANYONE taped this to be converted for watching? :pray: :pray:

It's been great to have a nearly play-by-play of Meat at the tournament. Let's hope there will be clips for posterity, and so we can join in the laughter at his reported antics.

What was the award??

The award was called the 'Anything you can do I can do better' award. However, nobody had a clue what it actually meant, LOL. Sorry I haven't recorded any of the show which is unfortunate because Meat was great. I hope, for your sake someone taped it.

I'm glad they had a lot of fun..

[MissAsh]

Unfortunately I missed all of todays golf, which I'm rather upset about!
Sounds like it was fantastic though even if Europe did win, and Meat was definitely the most entertaining to watch yesterday.

[MeatGrl1]

LMFAO!!!!!

It is great to see Meat won even if he and everyone else has no clue what it was for, it's very awesome all the same!
Well Done Meat!

Who else found this highly amusing...

His ball went into someone's shopping bag!
Got out an item it was Scotch eggs then instead of finding the ball he takes the entire carrier bag of food, runs to the green and empties the entire contents right by the hole!!!!!!!!

Europe trounced the US just like what'll happen in the Ryder Cup this October!

Meat was driven up the 18th Fairway in a mini-hummer by Monty with the CD Player blasting out Bat Out of Hell. Classic TV.

Is this the type of error message you get :??:

The content owner or broadcaster has limited the playback of TV content. Some shows or portions of a recorded show might be restricted to playback on the Media Center PC that it was recorded on. If you attempt to play the recorded TV file on another PC, then Media Center notifies you that the recorded TV file is restricted content and you cannot play it.

Or it may be that the file is just too big to be converted :-( Have you tried contacting Microsoft :??: Maybe they can help ...

I have some really generous friends who taped parts of the tournament for me :-) And don't worry SuperLoafman .... I got you covered for today :wink:

I'll be happy to share whatever I can with everybody as soon as I get the copies !

Vicki

[mikeloaf]

The whole thing was great. Meat really brought alot of energy and entertainment to the event. His golf is good too. The last half hour or so was magic. To team him against Chris Evans was perfect. The crowds following them during the day will really have good memories of the day. They were having so much fun and the crowd was fully involved, which we would expect from Meat. I hope he's has a really enjoyable weekend because it has brought pleasure to many. Well done Meat!

[Vickip]

Excellent :)) I hope everybody there had a great time !!
Vicki

[mikeloaf]

The 'public' just love to see 'star's' and idols enjoying themselves and being completely relaxed. Thats what was happening especially with Meat Loaf throughout and later today, everyone else. The stars are real people, the more they enjoy themselves the more the crowd does. But they played the game serious aswell. It was great to watch, I would have loved to have been there.....

[Ageing Bat]

How gutted am I? Got a phone call late Friday evening offering me 2 x VIP tickets to see the golf on Monday...... and I couldn't go :cry: :cry: :cry:

It was a choice between letting somebody down big time, or going to Wales to watch Meat play golf. The up side though, is that the player on the European team who offered me the tickets got Meat's autograph for me :D

.... just wish I could have been there.

[Deb]

Got back late last night and havent got sorted yet, but will write more when I do. Meat was amazing. I know a lot was shown on tv but apart from that, everybody loved him. He did himself proud. I didn't hear one single bad word from anyone about him, all weekend is all we heard from people who we spoke to and over heard is that Meat was the best! Meats wonderful, Meats funny, Meats... the list is endless. He has without a doubt gained tons of new fans from this :D I'm still in amazement as to how wonderful he was. Not that I didn't already know that of course, but sometimes people don't get him. But he was without a doubt, THE STAR of the tournement :cool:

I'll try and get some pics online later though. Here's one of Meat with his caddy.

I have over 5gb of pics and video but unfortunately I wont be sharing it online as one time I shared personal stuff someone made over a £1000 out of it on ebay (you know who you are :roll: ).

Damn, I was hoping to put it on a Meat Loaf back up disk at a fiver a go, lots and lots of back up disks :lmao:

Glad you had a great weekend anyway Debs

Pud :twisted:

[Deb]

You'd be losing out then Pud. The other ones went for £10 a time :shock:

I wont give anyone anything that lets them make money out of Meat by ripping off fans.

[Alex]

Agreed with you Deb, I think a lot of people will be awakened to Meat Loaf's existance again and he'll have gained a fair few fans. It's come at a great time for him with Bat 3 around the corner. The commentators didn't mention the new album much, but I don't think that matters a great deal as he's been brought to the front of people's minds for a while and hopefully they'll see some adverts and buy the new album out of curiosity.

One thing is for sure, he certainly got a lot of comments from the commentators complimenting and noting his loudness, enthusiasm, crowd interaction and appauling putting.

Good job Meat! That's done the world of good for Bat 3. Glad you had a great time Deb, sorry I didn't go. I had work to do and was umming and aahhing about what to do all Sunday and decided against it as I woke up midday on Monday! d'oh.

p.s. Anyone spot hole 18's antics in full? His first two shots landed in bunkers, but neither time did he play from there - somehow, his ball appeared to errm.... disappear and reappear on the fairway. A rare gift. However, the last hole wasn't really taken that seriously I think it may be worth saying!

[Deb]

We missed you Alex :( Glad you got to see it though.

The album did get some air time though :-) Caryl managed to get an interview with Ben Shepherd that went out live yesterday around 12pm. She got a very cool plug for the album and tour in. Well done Caryl :D

Myself and Heather managed to plug it all weekend as well lol. So we're sure most there will know about it and it was packed all weekend. There was one point when Meat was signing yesterday and someone asked about a tour or album, I managed to get in that it was out 23rd Oct here and 31st Oct US. Then someone asked again and Meat made me say it again lol. Then he added but Feb the (??) For those in Japan :lol: I'm not sure but there maybe a very embarrassing moment when me and Heather got on tv as well lol. It was one of the only times we got exctited about the golf lol as Meat had just got the ball in the hole. (Thats about as technical as I can get, trust me thats good for me as well lol) We came away from the green very excited and someone behind us said something about Meat, so we turned around to have a tv camera right in our faces :shock: Not to sure what I waffled as I havent seen it yet, but my dear friend ChrisNI managed to point out the fact we were on tv. I think it was something along the lines of how wonderful Meat is and about the album.

Hole 18 was a fix I think lol. By this time they knew they'd lost and it became more of a comedy show lol. There was one point on another hole when Ian kicked Meats ball away from the bunker :lol: I have to say that meat played so much better than his partner on sunday. Richard Schiff. The mans very handsome :cool: Infact I'd go as far as to say the most handsome man there :heart: And also a very nice friendly man. But he can't play golf that well lol. At one point Chris Evans caddy played for him while Richard Caddied for Chris :lol: Which confused the hell out of me and Heather no end.

Apart from meat i;d say the other celeb who made a big impact was Chris Evans. we was dreading him being with meat as he can come across as a ****. But he did wonders for reviving his career. And IMO was the most interactive of any of the celebs with the fans. Very much like the pied piper of Hamlet lol. Which was great for tv, but rubbish for the fans that wanted to floowo Meat as we had half the course following this team all day yesterday lol.

[Deb]

There was a lot of fans there Hayley, but not many known ones from here. Apart from a couple of lurkers I met :D You know who you are lol. Was great to meet you. They were both very easy to spot as being from online :D

[Ankie]

They were both very easy to spot as being from online :D

Still busy typing?

[mszee]

Still busy typing?

Hahahahaha...watching Meat on computer monitors while being there...

[Jayd]

Is this the type of error message you get :??:

The content owner or broadcaster has limited the playback of TV content. Some shows or portions of a recorded show might be restricted to playback on the Media Center PC that it was recorded on. If you attempt to play the recorded TV file on another PC, then Media Center notifies you that the recorded TV file is restricted content and you cannot play it.

Or it may be that the file is just too big to be converted :-( Have you tried contacting Microsoft :??: Maybe they can help ...

Vicki

Yes that is the one, but I also get one about being unlawful in certain countries, and copyright. No each file is about 3 gig in size. I can usually break this up into smaller pieces, and convert it to Divx or Windows Media, but it's not having it at all. I have never had this problem before. I have recorded off other channels, even sky, but no. It will let me burn it to DVD though. But warns it may not play on other players, or computers.

[Deb]

LoL. No one of them said something to Meat about the album and stuff that only someone online would really know (cant remember exactly what it was) and the other asked Deborah to sign something... I don;t think people who arent online would know who deborah was. Thats how i guessed anyway lol and I was right :-D

Deb

[Eva]

Lots of walking - great
Lots of Meat - more then great
bushes - as long as not the man with that name - great ;)
Lots of golf - I don't know the rules - but great

I'm actually not sure what was happening here lol, but it was on practise day on sat. Meat and William Baldwin were teamed up with two others, who I think were just to make up numbers :? This was one of the first pics I took and is one of my favs of the weekend.

To make a chaste caption:

Meat is looking for "the most handsome man there" and can't find him (because he lost his mirror) :lmao: and Mr. Baldwin and the other man are holding his trousers because his suspenders got broken again - like it did in Toms River

[Eva]

BTW - I forgot to mention what a nice pic that is!! COOL!!
Thanks Deb!! :-P

[Deb]

LOL Eva! I thought it looked more like William was delivering a baby :shock: Althoguh meats face doesnt look like he's giving birth lololol
