Clarkson was pulling a face, so had clearly said something unflattering about Meat or Germany or both I supposed .. let's face it we are talking about someone who routinely refers to the French as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" aren't we? ..

But Justin Hawkins just smiled a bit vacuously and said yes, he'd toured with him .. which I didn't take as him necessarily agreeing with whatever Clarkson had said, but rather wasn't going to take him on right at the opening of the interview .. then said it was good (touring with Meat) and Meat had said to treat him like his dad, Clarkson pulled one of his faces for the camera and they moved on. My impression was that far from siding with any negative view (and let's face it Clarkson adopts negative views for humorous effect) Justin was trying to express something about Meat being a nice guy .. and I can see Meat saying something like that :)

Darkness toured with him in the UK too didn't they? I remember at one concert Meat stood in the wings while they were playing, clearly appreciating their performance and applauding them at the end of the number

There we go, I knew someone would have a better memory than me!

Paul :-P

That reminds of the band introductions on the Melborne DVD ... where they say that Paul goes both ways : he plays the guitar and the banjo :lmao:

Steve Martin, The Crow New Songs For The 5-String Banjo is pretty good

Just watched today's videos. What a pity that the first one is just 16 seconds long, I would like to hear more of the music.

The videos are getting better and better and more informative. The more I see and hear, the more curious I get. :D

Pudding 18 Jul 2009 04:10

Lucky Susan Valentine gets a video all to herself, great gift idea. I'm betting Meat will be inundated with gifts and letters now people know where to send them :))

Elijah's way 18 Jul 2009 05:00

Who is that singing in the latest video?

Sarge 18 Jul 2009 05:13

I'd like to know that as well, it neither sounds like one of the people he's introduced nor like Meat.

Pudding 18 Jul 2009 05:45

Whoever it is they sound bloody awful.

LP 18 Jul 2009 13:00

I searched for the Hawkins Top Gear interview to satisfy my own curiosity and he says (right at the beginning, to Clarkson) "I tend to agree with you on the Meat Loaf thing".

Maybe he changed his $$$$£££ mind!

The tags of that video on YouTube are: Meat Loaf, Justin Hawkins, Eric Nally, so I assume it's him? (Although it doesn't sound like Nally to me, maybe because he usually screams a lot in his songs.)

Neither do I really .. I didn't hear anything "bad" in the interview .. and if he said anything during that show I missed it. Clarkson says a lot of stuff about things, famous people etc for effect and a laugh. Back when there was that poll for the best driving song he made comments in most of the shows about not voting for BOOH .. can't remember them all .. but I seem to recall:

Vote for Meat Loaf, assuming you can get your fat inbred fingers on to the button
Voting for Meat Loaf means you are twice as likely to have no mates
Your ISP will change your domain name to loser if you vote for Bat Out of Hell
Voting for Meat Loaf will give you gout
Your home may be at risk if you vote for Meat Loaf

But then he'll also say that a particular car's brakes are made from milk bottle tops, and of a car he really likes that he wishes it could put its hand down his trousers and rummage around ..

Basically they all poked fun at Meat and/or his fans .. but Clarkson's comments on things, cars, people and life in general are for comic effect and not to be taken too seriously imo .. I doubt he does himself, and frankly I don't think Meat would lose any sleep :)

.. and BOOH topped the poll anyway .. lol

yeah! but hes still a pratttt!!!!!

AndrewG 19 Jul 2009 09:39

That whole Top Gear is a bit of a farce anyway. I doubt 0.5% of the UK population can afford most of the cars they review (ie most seem to be £100.000+) so it definitely cannot be considered a proper "car-review" programme imo. It's good entertainment I think though and it certainly makes me laugh.

Is it just me or does anyone else also think Richard Hammond hasn't seemed quite right since his accident?

He call's Meat the 'Oaf' and apparently thinks that his music is awful. His 2 co-presenters have decided to agree with him too. BUT, in true hypocritical Clarkson style, he has released some 'Driving' compilation albums in the past and guess which artist features on at least 2 CDs?!

RadioMaster 19 Jul 2009 12:45

well, you cant make everyone like the same... :shrug: And I guess a compilation is hardly depending on the muscal taste of the presenter of a show.

Unless, of course, you put your name and face on the front of the CD... like Jezza

RadioMaster 19 Jul 2009 17:02

first, I have no idea of top gear and anything related as we dont have it over here

but usually there's more than a lot of people involved in producing a cd. Even if the promoted artist (that'd be him in this case) has his picture on the cover, he might not have anything to say about song choice, etc.

you dont even have to go as far as compilations. just look at 3 bats live, that album was released completely against Meat's will.


back on topic now! :yep:

I've gotta say I dont like that yfrog thing. None of the vids work for me. When there's one that seems particularly interesting I have to go to youtube and look it up there.
Spoils the fun a bit.

MissAsh 19 Jul 2009 17:20

Yay, VERY happy to see that Patti is going to be involved! :D
About time I caught up on all the Twittering I think, haven't had time until today.

I'm having the same problem with Yfrog ... I just automatically go over to Meat's Official YouTube channel (RedPony2) and watch the videos there.
I noticed that Roxanne had to repost the latest video ... so maybe she'll find another way to do it.
