I'm not saying there won't .. just that this would be something down to the Vegas producers, not Meat. We had a DVD of Storytellers, but that was a VH1 production, and all their original Storytellers shows were produced specifically for a recording. How likely it is that the company putting on the Rocktellz and Cocktails series of Vegas seasons would be tempted into producing DVDs I have no idea.

Nothing would surprise me in this area Warrio .. but I stand by what I said. I doubt there will be many. If any surface we'll just have to help WoH avoid them and save him the disappointment of listening and watching ;) .. and then having to tell us how disappointed he was.

And I've already checked them. But God, why? :-)
Even Meat confessed he is low key but it's good enough to the fans. Am I the only critic to say it is not enough?

My impression of what this show will be is a retrospective of Meat's career. I don't get the impression it's a "concert" but one of a Vegas show with video montages, set and costume changes, live songs with and without Meat, and the Q&A. I'm I far off?


If this was to be recorded I would want a great copy and not some crappy bootleg.

I can't wait for Vegas!

Did I read/hear somewhere that the stories are aimed more towards Meat's acting career rather than his music? Did he say it in a meet and greet or have I made it up?!

I don't think you're far off. Meat said recently when asked if it would be like Storytellers that it would start out like that but would take off like a rocket and get kicked into the stratosphere .. or words to that effect ;)


Dear God yes!! It would be up to the producers .. and I tend to think that they might be reluctant to take out tables/seating unless they saw a significant profit in it though..

I think he said it would be aimed at his whole career rather than than the songs or the making of BOOH etc. That was also the M&G he gave some impromptu acting lessons .. so I could see how your synapses might put the two together and came up with acting career rather than music ;)

I think Paul posted something on Facebook earlier, about a pic of Meat & Gene Simmons and that Meat would be talking about it during the show... but I haven't heard anything about him talking more about the acting stuff

It was just a passing comment that was floating around in the back of my head...I might even have dreamt it! :lol:

Like your hotel in Newmarket ?

You sod :lol:

With regards to the "branding" of Vegas, I am LOVING the old style Meat Loaf logo, it's like it's come full circle! :up:

Something I've always been wondering...

What is the difference between logos ? I hear "NEW" "OLD" 80s" thrown around and NO idea what they mean. Can someone post visual description/ explanation?

Yes you are pretty far off , no live songs without me , there is a Q&A but still pretty far off, still opening with 64 and up to dead ringer . Then I'm going to take you for a ride !!
Meat

As always ... ALL ABOARD !!! Train my bum ... It's ROLLERcoaster time !!! ... Good luck to you and the band with the show, Meat... I won't make any, but look forward to hearing all about them !!! ... xo

If "White of High " doesn't like me, for 10 years now, why does he come and post on here ? Just a simple question. as far as keys go , Bat , paradise, took the words are in the same key as they were recording 37 years ago , why? because I can still hit the notes . ( most of the time :-) . My speaking voice changed in 1993 as well as my singing voice when they took a bone out of my nose . It was a small bone !!
Meat

The producers brought up today filming the show , don't know if it will happen but they did bring it up in a conversation .
Meat

So the plan is to answer questions from the audience & steer the convo into a song from your set list. What if the question is out-and-out bizarre? Will you answer anyway and then say "okay and the next song is..."? ;) What is Plan B for something like that? LOL

they might film the Vegas shows? I'll never get to Vegas but I'd buy the video.
wishing and hoping

If it is, Im an editor :))

(in all seriousness film editing is my background, as a senior in college majoring in it. Plus not a fan how the DVDs have been edited in the past)

Glad I was far off! Sounds even better! See you on Oct 3rd! :D:D:D

SO Wish I could afford VEGAS. GAH! Anyone wanna help me out? L O L

@anotherday re: logos

The original logo/font is shorter and wider. Bat 2 until Hang Cool (don't quote me, not got it to hand!) is taller and thinner.

A few 80's releases used completely different fonts but in terms of the "proper" logo that's the difference.

Great.............cue the 87min extended Masculine DVD lol

Its actually till Bat 3 that have the tall thin font.

Hang Cool and HIAHB have the current rasterized font.

:)

Awesome, I love this opening!!!

Wooooooooohooooooo!!!! :cheer:

:shock: My prayers are happen? Yes! :cheer:

Me too then ;) .. but that's all part of the fun and excitement imo .. not knowing what to expect .. and then ....

.. and AWAY we go!! :D

My guess, the Eeyore phenomenon

We can travel hopefully :D

C x

I'm glad! Lemon is one if the best, and gets better and better

That's the interesting thing about opinions and the internet. There's endless scope for telling other people that they're wrong. :lol:

I do really like Lemon, but I'm not sure that just the back half is better than hearing the whole of Red Light. Then again I don't really like medleys full stop.

I reckon Hot Patootie, Red Light, Dead Ringer would be an excellent opening but now I'm veering into Warioland. :twisted:

In a Mercury or a Shit Car :shit::shit:...I am so excited to be one of the many passengers on THAT ride!!

:cheer::cheer::weee::weee::yay::yay:

Ahh..I learned this in Psychology...and applied it to raising my five children:

"Negative attention is still Attention!

That's why!

It will be a rocket to the Saturn though... ;) ;) ;)

Yep .. sad but true :( I used to say stupid things to my Dad at the store just because I knew it pissed him off and I thought it was funny ... but now looking back, I realize how really sad and immature that was :( I can't believe he's been gone almost 5 years now, ad I still miss him everyday.

And hopefully things will work out and I'll be able to hitch a ride :up:

woohooo!!!
C'mon baby, just ride with me
C'mon baby, just ride with me
:D:D:D

That's when rock and roll dreams come through ...
let's hope it will happen, would be so awesome :-)

Exactly what I expected you would write. :D :D :D

"We Got 5000 Miles Between Here And Vegas..."

[QUOTE=Jules13;597115]Exactly what I expected you would write. :D :D :D

:lmao::lmao::lmao:

Offering a simple explanation: Response provocation.

(this was not intended as a "House" reference).

YES! YES! YES!


That's a great start ... nurture those planted seeds Meat!

Deena, I've heard Meat field some pretty bizarre questions. I think that is where his ad lib stand up comedy shines very brightly. Perhaps the plan B is part of plan A? ;)

Amen !!! Yes I would like to think that I am a little more clever, than to just say our next song is . Don't believe I have ever done that .

More than capable ;) Have seen you in action with some bizarre questions/comments from the floor, both in Storytellers and from hecklers :lol: And you can use a question to get where you want to go with as much skill as the best of politicians!! .. :lol:

[/QUOTE]

Sorry about that! LOL I was just wondering if any had stumped ya... I guess I worded it incorrectly! :)

Yes you are Mr Loaf and very quick-witted (if this word is translated right), too.
Probably washed with all waters... ;) ;)

Can't wait for this!!!

I am unbelievably ecstatic about Vegas but I will admit I'm terrified to fly:? But I'll make the exception for the best performer out there..:D

Wouldn't it be great if we all got together for this :D

Q&A, each M&G i've had i've struggled to put a simple question together never mind an audience question lol..... :faint:

[QUOTE=Fire Ball;597124]Amen !!! Yes I would like to think that I am a little more clever, than to just say our next song is . Don't believe I have ever done that .
M

you are a genius and very clever, Meat. your speeches at the races were brilliant. had to laugh out loud ;-)

Few strong drinks in the airport will do the trick, if unsure what to drink ask Andy k :)

Now.....as far as questions from the audience goes in Vegas...I'm sure your sense of good judgement will keep you from calling on ME! You are far too wise to risk the potential damage to your career. LOL

Take care.....see you on October 10th

That would be awesome!!! :bunny::bunny::bunny:

Me too! :panic:
Thank goodness for music players & headphones!!

I'm not afraid to fly ... I just hate long flights :-) I'm still hoping that Mom and I can figure something out so we can go .. we both really need a break right now, and I would leave her in the casino to help win the money to pay for the room :D

fingers crossed for you, Vicki!!

Not sure if we want to start another thread for Promo for Rocktellz and Cocktailz but here's a few things roaming around the net. I didn't find any of this on my own. They were linkies through FB and such. So credit goes to the original finders....I'm just the messenger.

Happy Tuesday meatie peeps... and Meat ... xo
 

It was sometime in 1993 and Howard Stern was interviewing some guy on his show and he started to talk about being in Hair ... My ears immediately pricked up... He was talking my generation and of a fave show of mine ... Who is this guy... I wondered ... and why was every one laughing when he backpedaled so quickly saying ... nooooo... he hadn't done the nude scene ? I hadn't a clue who he was... This is a "rock" guy ? ... He sounded so interesting and funny ... Then a bit of the music was played... I didn't know the name of the tune at the time... The little ditty that turned to be Anything For Love... but ... hmmm... I found it interesting ... and will I take you there ? ... I'll take you there... lol ... One day on the tv came the video... a mini movie ... with a Beauty and the Beast concept... a childhood and to this day... fave tale of mine ... I watched with delight... enjoyed the music... and then the end came ... and the hood went back and... the grown up woman in me went ... WHOA... who IS that guy ???? ... and the rest... as they say... lol ... is history ... SO... all that said... my love of Loaf started with a rock tale... and I stayed for the rest of the story ...

And indeed ... the perfect Storytelller has been selected by Planet Hollywood to start the series of tales in Vegas ... Love and luck to Meat and the band !!! ... xo

Ya know...we are LONG overdue for a Meat Loaf appearance on Howard Stern! OMG, could you imagine Meat and Howard uncensored?!?! Radio Gold!

Meat Loaf interview at the 2:55:00 mark and again at the 2:57:00 mark. 93.3 WMMR Podcast here:

Mel, it's the same link on FB if you wanna try to go through there. I'm not tech savvy. I'm lucky I got the link to post here.

I'll try later when I get to a computer :)

I can't tell if this is the same link that Suzie posted (above) ... but it works for me :

http://www.lasvegassun.com/blogs/kat...eat-and-greet/

If it doesn't work, you have to refresh the page.

You are right. As of then ^, you have to refresh the page to see the article.

I've been in Vagas for quite a while now. Planet Hollywood has a big video advert rotating outside every 10 minutes or so.

I found the bit about Meat not knowing Bonnie Tyler sang on A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste a bit odd. It's good to read an interview by someone who actually knows their shit for a change. :twisted:

I enjoyed that

Ta for posting vicki

Would be awesome - but probably not enough time - I would prefer Brave & Crazy with 'new' Steinman songs to be honest. Though if a rerecorded best of Dead Ringer with other obscure Steinman tracks could be an end of career finale then ...

ML: I have seriously considered re-recording DEAD RINGER three or four times now, actually, since you mention it - but, I'd have to have Cher again if I did it. I don't know where those original tapes are - if I did, I would use those tapes and pull Cher off [and use it].

ML: Yep. If I could find those tapes I'd do it! I sing better now than I do in '81.

You're welcome :D

InDepth InterView: Meat Loaf Talks New Las Vegas Residency, Plus Broadway, Hollywood
 

They now have all the dates on the "pick your seat" map on TM. The Mezz is now available.

Another great interview about Vegas .... and talk of a possible DVD !

http://www.pollstar.com/news_article.aspx?ID=806908

This might be an unpopular opinion, but a DVD of a 90 minute show that will contain a fair amount of talk doesn't really kick me in the bollocks.

Shame :( .. Ah well .. perhaps I can cover for it? ;):lol:

It pleases me .. but then I loved the Storytellers DVD .. and can listen to Meat being entertaining and deftly turing questions to his advantage til the cows come home :) I think it will also please the many who can't make Vegas and have begged Meat for a DVD

I'm not saying it's a bad idea, and it will most certainly be cheaper than Vegas ticket prices. Hopefully he'll do a one off, longer show if it's DVD bound. As far as I'm concerned the chatter in these type of things is interesting the first time, but then usually gets skipped.

That's OK .. and when it starts to tire? .. let me know and I'll come round and kick you in the bollocks .. can't offer fairer than that :lol:

Each to their own. ;)

I know I'm not going to make it to Las Vegas to see the show and although watching a DVD is not the same as being there, I'm happy at the thought that I'll actually be able to watch what sounds like a very special show.

I'll be pleased to see this recorded...any DVD is great to have (though it seems a travesty that Last At Bat wasn't captured, such a waste) but I'll be glad to have record of this new and different chapter of Meat's career :up:

WHOOO! Bring onTHE DVD!

I want to be on it :)

Bahahaha

Can Caryl get her leg that high? :lol:

I'll appreciate the dvd, love the storytellers dvd and will love this one for sure :-) - so happy about a possible dvd :-D

There's no telling what I can do with the right incentive ;) I'll stand on a box if I have to :lol::lol:

It does for me, if he adds a 2 CD set of the LAB and MMW Tour

MMW might be a stretch

But an LAB bonus CD seems more likely just based on the popularity of the tour

There are times when I really wish I lived in the good ole U S of A!

I always welcome a dvd but I still wish we had a Last at Bat dvd. That would have been an incredible keepsake.

No idea if this has been posted here or not, and apologies if it has because, at the moment, I don't have the time to crawl back through the thread. Anyways, great little interview here :D

http://lasvegasmagazine.com/2013/09/...toried-career/

Yep! Me too.
So much wished I could see him in Vegas.. :roll:

If I could suggest to those going to Las Vegas to stop by the Stratosphere Tower's Top of the World restaurant. It's a very good restaurant and is price right for the food that is served. You would never think it's as nice as it is just by looking at the casino. :lol: It has views that are unparalleled in LV and at night it's spectacular! The restaurants turn 360 degrees (very slowly) so you get to see the valley many times over. Make reservations first so you can by pass the tower fee to go up even if it's just for dessert. There are three amusement rides at the very top of the tower that I highly recommend plus the tower sky jump. I've also done that and it worth every penny!

Guy has already said he is doing the jump :)
