I think that the concept is a good one, personally, and whether or not you can feel the story running through the CD is largely irrelevant as the songs do flow well from one song to the next and I happen to think you can sense the movement in the story as you play the CD in its entirety.

Whether other people pick up on that I neither know nor care. Quite a few concept albums don't convey their actual "message" to the masses because the concept is not the overarching thing making someone enjoy an album usually. More often than not, it's the quality of the tunes and in HCTB, the production of the music is fantastic and for me it's simply a case of whether you enjoy certain songs or not.

So again, I think its irrelevant whether the songs were picked before, tweaked after or made to fit the concept, I feel the concept is fairly loose and prevents us from being restricted to ONLY thinking of the story throughout the album. There's way too much going on in HCTB to ONLY focus on the concept and I doubt Meat's original intent was for us to think purely of the concept as the songs are played anyway. I view the concept as an addition to the music, not the one thing governing the entire album.

And to criticise album sales and suggest the album isn't successful? The album is a success on a personal level for Meat, who has never been about the money anyway. Sure, he would love the album to be a massive success and who's to say that still won't happen? I love it and prefer it to anything Meat has done since Bat 2. That makes it a success for me and that is what counts, IMO. I don't much concern myself with album sales because that has nothing really to do with me.
:up: Great post!

One more bit of trivia, then back on topic. I read that they initially wanted Olivia Newton-John to play Strawberry Fields (Billy's love interest), but Olivia thought the charcter of Strawberry was too sweet (like Sandy in Grease), so she wanted to play Lucy instead. The producers said no.

The red pig logo, btw, I believe was a parody of the little red bull on the RSO label (which the Bee Gees were on) :mrgreen:


Now, back to our regularly scheduled thread!

Rather to his dad, Art Carney was cool.

I wonder if the songs they didn't use were written by the same songwriters whose songs are on HCTB or if there's also material by other writers, if they are similar in style and if there's a good ballad among them. Would also be interesting to know if they would put only those songs on an album or if it would be a mix of some that they already have and some entirely new ones.

Evil One 28 Aug 2010 00:37
I'm indifferent towards him, but I don't think the songs he provided for Meat were the strongest on the album.

justin rocks!!!

Sarge 28 Aug 2010 00:42
I like Love Is Not Real. California is stupid in a funny way but the problem is that someone who just hears the song and hasn't heard Meat's explanation of what it is actually about can easily take it the wrong way. I have no issues with Hawkins as a songwriter, he's a very good musician, too, but I hope a new album will be more "mature" (which doesn't mean that it has to be devoid of humor). HCTB is a good album, I just don't know if it was a great idea to treat it like a movie and play a guy who's in his early twenties. If the concept was more obvious, maybe...

I would like to know how Meat sees himself, what kind of image he expects people to have of him. If you hire people like Hawkins or Nally who are known for their rather "crazy" style, record songs like Like A Rose and Los Angeloser, you move into a certain direction...

how am i comparing them? i stated HCTB may by some twist of faith start selling? Bat 1 took time even. i never compared the two albums against each other, in any shape or form? i just stated that even the 40+ million selling Bat 1 took time.

It took time before people knew about it. When they found out about it they bought it.

The reaction to HCTB seems to be entirely different.

Exactly.

Bat1 stayed in the charts for over 450 weeks, HCTB dropped out of the charts after 4 weeks. Trying to compare what happened to Bat1 could happen to HCTB is a bit retarded :wacko:

Mr. Happy 28 Aug 2010 09:23
I can see the Diane Warren song that didn't make the cut for HCTB showing up on it, if it was as good as Meat made it out to be :D

A Slice Of English 28 Aug 2010 09:33
I'm a Hawkins fan and absolutely love Love Is Not Real and California on the album. Both songs are amusing but also LINR has a great rock sound and I love the guitar on it. Brilliant.

"Old duffer", imo, is a state of mind. I've seen young folks who act in that presumed way old farts are thought to behave and presumed old farts whose minds are active, youthful and open to change.

The 70s and the present days are total different. Nowadays, you have much more other entertaining systems such as Internet, TV and much more other music. The budget of people hasn't increased that they could buy everthing they want. In other words, we have a oversupply of enterainment in contrary to restricted budget and, free time and attention. In the 70s I assume you have had much less diversity in everything compared to today and less media channels.

I really don't expect an album staying in the charts for such a long time as bat1 in the present days.

That's true, there are much more things music has to compete with these days. I'm a movie maniac and I just can't pass by the DVD & BluRay shelves and I love computer games. So a lot of my limited leisure time is devoted to that. It was just a few years ago that I rediscovered my love of music, one of the reasons was YouTube. When I was a teenager there was not much aside from listening to music, watching TV and going to the movies.

I think it's much harder to get people interested in music these days, it doesn't represent certain lifestyles and attitudes as much as it used to, it doesn't seem to be that important to people anymore. Plus we have a music industry that apparently rather wants to play it safe and promote talent show "stars" than invest time and money in establishing real and diverse musicians on the market.

Maybe not that long but an album can still remain on the charts for quite a while. As far as I know, Unheilig has been in the German Top 10 for about half a year now, most of the time on No. 1.

Precisely. So when someone says "well Bat1 started off slow" they're not taking all the factors into consideration.

Bat1 is an album you can't easily forget, HCTB is an album that's easily forgettable.

Boy ,do I disagree with statement. It wasn't until we played the bat songs live the record started to sell. They are flying out of the shows after we have finished. It ain't over Dude and don't you believe it is . I worked 10 months to break Bat. If I hadn't you would have never it.

You might find it forgettable, but the vast majority of people on this site do not. I'm one of those who do not.

robgomm 30 Aug 2010 11:21
HCTB is not forgettable imo. How can you forget such epic songs like song of madness or living on the outside?

Precisely, I wish people would qualify their statements to say "I find the album forgettable" and not "The album is foregettable" because it makes it sound like there's massive support for that view behind them.

What was it R said about reading your post twice through before you post it? Some of these posts are a little carelessly written.

AndrewG 30 Aug 2010 12:03
Is HCTB being sold at the merchandise stands at the shows? I remember the CHSIB cds flew off the merch stands back in 04. I'm sure it would help/work. I am more convinced by the live performances of the songs.
The cds should be there at the UK shows for sure.

I hope so! I took my best friend last time and she didn't love Meat but she only knew the songs from Bat and Iwdafl and I'm sure after hearing the songs they would be more likely to be it after the show than at a cd shop after where it could be passed by

Most people after a show are more concerned with getting out of the car park first, instead of wanting to buy anything.

That is true, but how you tell when the audience really liked the show is by how much merch is sold after the show. We've been selling about 10 to 15 CD's before the show . The other night we sold 150 after the show. I by the way buy merch after a show not before when I go to a show. Never before. Every show I have ever been to , I bought after the show . Am I weird. ?

No, I am the same, I buy merch after the show too. Especially if it is a standing gig I don't won't to go into the arena with bags or a huge tour book.

From the ML gigs I've been to there are always large queues at the end. That's good about the CDs, thanks.

Even though 7 billion is a little extreme, I was qualifying my statement as was asked and which puts me in the vast majority of people on the planet who haven't bought the album. I'm also in the vast majority of people on the planet who haven't bought Thriller either.

But weird is the opposite of normal, and normal is a misconception of other people's reality, so it's all good :shrug:


Personally I like to have a scan at the merch table before the show because..........

A. After the show is time to spend with friends talking about the show.

B. The bar is waiting. :cheers:

C. The best merch might be sold out by the end of the show (especially nice unusual items like shot glasses and teddy bears :mrgreen: ).


I feel a poll in tour talk coming on :sneaky:

HCTB aint no Thriller and you can't moonwalk http://thisisthestoryof.files.wordpr...ng-shopper.gif

Even though 7 billion is a little extreme, I was qualifying my statement as was asked and which puts me in the vast majority of people on the planet who haven't bought the album. I'm also in the vast majority of people on the planet who haven't bought Thriller either.
So you have not even bought HCTB ? can i ask why ? Have you heard it ?

No I haven't. Yes I've listened to the album several times. If there isn't enough songs on the album, on any album for that matter, that I like then I won't buy it, especially when I can buy individual songs online. Since the only song from the HCTB recordings that I really like (Prize Fight Lover) was given away for free, buying the album makes no sense to me :shrug:

Before anyone starts with 'but you'll be supporting the artist if you do', 'you're not a true fan' etc etc etc I'll be supporting Meat with enough hard earned cash when he gets to New Zealand.

Oh right, you're going to buy a new grill for the BBQ you are cooking for him when he gets there right? :lol:

There's an idea, he is from Texas after all and portions are bigger there.

Oh... wait a sec... sorry... Wrong identity. I've forgotten that I'm Pudding (at least as long a certain forum member is around :bleh:).

To get back to the original topic: Any speculations about the artwork and the title? Julie Bell again or something totally different? Another Russ Meyer reference? How about a quote from Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!? :)) Jokes aside, what do you think?
No your a wanna be pudding!!

Sarge 01 Sep 2010 14:36

Not really, I prefer to buy before just to make sure I have the merch but I can see why people would wait. It's quite annoying trying to enjoy it with all your newly acquired goods. That said at a few gigs I've been to the staff force you to leave quickly so you sometimes don't get the opportunity.

Drumbum 01 Sep 2010 23:51
I buy before the show too. I nearly always do my best to get down the front if it's standing and I'd like to think if the artist took one glimpse, they'd spot that I'm wearing their t-shirt or whatever. Just so they know that I fully support them. I'd usually have whatever CD they've been touring before hand anyway.

I bought the Casa De Carne t-shirt on the way in. Same with the two Bruce t-shirts I bought on the Magic and Working On A Dream tours and at the Status Quo concert on the Pictures tour.

tl;dr: I buy before the show and that might make me weird also.

He must have a wicked sense of humor if he's really going to decide for that title.

Meat is right about the hypocrisy regarding violence in movies and video games and "explicit" lyrics but the more he talks about the concept of the album, the less sense it makes. :devil:

I like this quote. :up: It perfectly describes one of the major problems we are confronted with these days - not only in the music business.

I doubt very much over here in the UK that a fuss be made of the word Dick in a song. God we have songs that contain a hell of a lot worse ! I find it interesting that Meat mentions True Blood, that is my favourite tv series, it is the most explicit programme i have ever watched ! I am waiting for series 3 to come to the UK !

Thanks Vicki and Suzie for finding and posting the article !

Good promo idea - Release the CD in a tiny little handbasket instead of your normal CD case...

Sarge 04 Sep 2010 13:39
Whom would that kind of promo target? :))

A Slice Of English 04 Sep 2010 13:40
Old women, Sarge.

Can I sign you up for a copy? ;-p

Sue K 04 Sep 2010 13:42
What exactly IS a handbasket ? Is it like a picnic basket ? If so, Yogi Bear would like that ! oh and there we are back to "bears" again ... :twisted: ... Instead of "oh no another bat ?" it will be ... well... you see where I'm going here... :twisted: ...

Ummm, yes, off to deliver newspapers ... :| ... lol ...

The Manhattan suggestion, instead of the LA suggestion.

Sorry couldn't get the YouTube box thing to work
