Thanks for the welcome MB i love the photos especially number 2 it is great :twisted:

Good Dream, But Strange
 

:? Meat is a great performer, just not sure what brought the dream on. When I saw him in Boston it was is bass player Kasim that cought my eye and his little smiles he would send every now and then and the way he would try to dodge the lights and try to wink. Meat's wife must be very happy because of the feelings he has and the way he sings songs with so much feeling. I bet he is romantic in bed or a wild animal. :oops: :lol: Hey - who said that?? Not me. :lol:

Good Night

Re: Good Dream, But Strange
 

In the interest of scientific study, i think I should be the one to carry out the experiment to find out..... :wink: :lol:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: .

Re: Good Dream, But Strange
 

Just imagine, eh? :wink:

8) I just love reading this topic and all the pictures are great, I always leave this post very weak at the knee :wink:

Keep up the good work :wink:

Oh, Heat! I think this study is too big for just one person to experiment with it!! I think we're going to need a LOT more 'subjects'!! :devil:

And the line forms behind the two of us!! :mrgreen:


Got some new photos to help kick off tonight's concert and the German tour!!

Hope y'all enjoy these!


I just love this shot of Pearl and Patti with Meat, don't you?!!

Have a great Saturday, friends. See you later.

Love to all,

Thanks for the cool pics, MB! I do love the one with Patti and Pearl. Regarding the research study that we seem to be organizing- friends, I have a degree in library science and lots of background in research and statistics. To protect the statistical integrity of our study, I fear I must leapfrog to the front of that line! :lol: OK, maybe not....but those three college degrees have to be good for something, eh? :oops:

Best wishes to our cohorts in Germany as they experience Meat in a few short hours- remember, we want to know every detail, from the M&G down to the final encore! 8)

Sherrie

hmmmm, can I join that queue as well?!?? :oops:

But then again, if I was ever lucky enough to meet him I'd probably just turn in to a quivering pile of jelly and be no use to no one anyway!! :lol:

Someone once asked me why I liked Meat Loaf, and I just replied 'why not?' .......

Me too :wink:

Thanks for the great pics MBrevard, brightened up my afternoon :wink:
Just love the first one of Meat with Pearl & Patti 8)

And as for the other two pics.........Meat giving it his all as usual, JUST GREAT 8)

Whoa MB u sure know how 2 make people smile!!! Bein under 16 i cant join the queue :cry: !!! However if i did ever meet the man him self which i largley doubt will ever happen now I would cry but try to have a relaxed(?) conversation. Check this out:
http://www.celebmatch.com/birthdayfo...rity=Meat+Loaf this is 4 all of those people who want to see if u would b a perfect match for Meat Loaf!!!
Have fun!!!

Thanks Fallen Angel, you made me smile, I had a look at that compatability thingie I got a total of 96% :D

It's nice to have a dream! :twisted:

Fallen Angel, what a kick! They want to match me up with Alan Rickman or Richard Gere :lol: (I'm not buyin' it)

Whoa!! You done better than me i got 86%. Glad 2 hear your smiling!!! :P listen l8r on i PROMISE i will put the couple of meat loaf dreams that i mentioned last nite!! :P
NEVER STOP ROCKIN!!!
Hugs
F.A

Sorry to hear that Kathy. my highest % was emotional with 97% pretty close emotionaly though.

They said my top match was Robbie Williams with 100%! Hmmm, i don't think so some how!! :?

I think there's only one bloke we all want to be 100% matched with, and i think you've got to be very, very lucky, or jammy to have that happen really .....

Ug, I am only a 78% match with Meat Loaf! Worse, I'm a scant 53% emotional match with him. :cry: On the bright side, I was a 98% match with Tim McGraw (to paraphrase Jack Nicholson in the film Carnal Knowledge: "I wouldn't kick <him> out of bed!"). However I'm also a 97% match with Sean Hayes of Will and Grace, and I'm quite sure he's exclusively homosexual. Hmmmm.....what does that say about me? :? Now I'm confused. (But that's nothing new!)

Sherrie

With Meat, I got 99% Physical, 90% emotional, and 99% intellectual .... :D Gonna have to stop talking about this now and find another forum to cool down in! :oops:

Thanks, F.A. for the link!! I'm only 75% with Meat. :(

And worse than that, they want to match me with Scott Bakula or Stephen King!!!!!!

I think I'm in BIG trouble!!! :roll:

Love,
MB

oh good heavens above 8O one of the best other matches was
swallow, gulp, scream, eminem :oops: :cry:
well thank goodness it is just a joke, pheew.
kezzina

:lol: Marilyn Manson - best match :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Mariella

oh mariella, 8O
blimey how shocking!!!!
kezzina :lol:

Thanks, F.A. !!

I'm only 79% with Meat ...

77% physical
62% Emotional -- > which I actually thought would be higher
98% Intellectual -- > I always knew he was a smart guy :))

My best match is Kenneth Branagh .. which is ok I guess. But contrary to you MB .. I'll take Scott Bakula in a second :)) I loved him in Quantum Leap !!!

Vicki

Must be my 'darker' side, Bigmomma! :lol:

xxx

Mariella

that would explain it then, 8)
dont know where they came up with eek, eminem,
if your taking scott of MB's hands i will take, steven king, he
should be interesting conversation at least, i should think... :roll:
kezzina
if i have nightmares i will let you know...

Me TOO! :lmao:

We ARE Family!

I LOVE this!

Mariella

exactly mariella,
share and share a like.... :twisted:

MBrevard said...
MB, if you don't want them I can take them both off your hands. I used to love Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap (and had a thing for Dean Stockwell on there as well....I seem to think about boys far too much!) As for Stephen King, he is one of my favorite writers and I would love to spend some time with him. His $9 million winter home is only about an hour from my home, but I have never seen him "in person".

Sherrie

...welp..i came up with 60% overall...lol...guess that puts one of us in the "hard to get" catagory in life...

in the meantime..one of the blokes they want to hook me up with is....gulp...BILL CLINTON...lol...

no ceegar jokes puleeeeze...rolling...

tink..XO

Nope .... sorry Sherrie :)) Scott Bakula is mine .... but you can have Stephen King :lol:

Vicki

We are a match!!
 

Hey I got a 96% on Phy., 97% on the Emo., 100% on the Intell., and a 99% on the total. Come to mama!! :lol:
Se the dream meant something!!

Most, BostonCPA

Re: We are a match!!
 

Well there you go :))
Maybe it did mean something afterall :lol:

Vicki

O.K I made a promise so i better stick to it!! My Meat Loaf dream(s) I have had over the past gew months which are just a little realistic but aint gonna happen :cry: .
#1: I had airwaves gum in pocket and poor Meat had the cold blocked nose e.t.c. So being the kind gal i am F.A walks up to front passes gum2 band member and says "Hey, can u do us all a favour especially meat and pass him these it will help his nose and stop him having a sore throat"!! so F.A gets a word of thanx from meat and saves the show. (Yeah rite!!!!)

#2 F.A and gran and dad arive way too early. A tour bus turns up out steps meat and band inc patti. shy me :oops: gets autographs.(THat aint gonna happen).

#3 F.A waves banner and screams head off and meat asks 4 explanation e.t.c(well that is a poss as i will be doin that :wink: )Cant remember what happened next :cry:

Bostan your 1 lucky gal to get such a high %

:wink: physical 98%%
I aint telling the rest :twisted:

They Think I Crazy!!
 

Our Boston group had a warm up practice today for the show Monday. When we do warm up practice we get to do it to whatever we like. Well, today we did it to "Testify". I think we should add it to the performance :lol: Try to picture a whole bunch of girls Celtic dancing to Meatloaf's Testify. It was crazy, but it worked great.

BostonCPA

Hey do you's know Meat has booked an entire restaurant in Glasgow in November.
They say it's for thanksgiving for all his tour guys.

Guees where i@ll be :D

I got 99% Physical
83% Emotional
100% Intellectual

I can die a happy woman now :twisted:


Maria

My scores on this site:
Physical 99% WOW WOW
Intellectual 95% WOW
emotional 84% MUST TRY HARDER

total 92%

Seems I need a little homework on the emotional part. Guess I have 2 chances on that - fat chance and no chance. However very happy with the 'Physical' score. 8) 8)

Quite depressing isn't it :lol:

Gerry, u wouldnt happen to know what restruant/nite by any chance??

I was going to offer to trade Richard Gere for Stephen King but I think Sherrie deserves him more - we don't want her to end up with the Will & Grace guy :lol:

I'm hoping to get a scanner in a couple months - maybe I can reciprocate with a few pictures then.
-Kathy

Kathy said:
Thanks for watching out for me Kathy! :lol: :lol:

Sherrie

Physically 58%
Emotionally 100% great minds do think alike
intellectually 58%
Total 75%


Best match - Michael Ironside 99%, Peter Gabriel 97% Oh Yes :oops:
Rutger Hauer 97% Yes Please, Steven Spielberg 97%

Someone mention Rutger Hauer where???



Rosie

Quigleys in Bath Street on 26 November.

:cry: it's not fair i only got 44% compatibility to Meat my best matches 98% Brad Pitt :( Patrick Dempsey. I would rather of had Stephen King over the two i got 8)

...ah weep not Cpl Mickey...i only received 60%...but keep the old hopes sky high..bearing in mind that old adage...OPPOSITES ATTRACT...

He'll bore quickly with the others..and there WE'LL be with semi-open arms...playing hard to GET cha see....lol...

tink...plucking her tongue outta her cheek...XO

At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what percentage you got with Meat, we all have a bit of Meat in our hearts (and our heads!) and that's all that matters. Can we not all share him?!? :) He's a big man, with a big voice, and a big heart ...... and we all love him to bits for whatever reason. Let's share him, let's start a 'Love Meat' religion ..... sorry, just thought there's no point in fighting over him, when we all feel the same lets share him! :)

End of lecture ....

Roll on 13th November!!!

Well said Shelly :D


Maria

BIORYTHMS?

I've been away from this Thread for WAY too long...Mine was pretty good...
Physical- 91% (naturally!)
emotional 78% (yeah, were probably both drama queens)
Intellectual 88% ('cause I love him for his brain...really...I Swear)
Overall-86

:D am I surprised that physical is the highest? well, funny story:

Last night, after the Much More Music special on Meat Loaf, my boyfriend (he's the Jazz musician who has only started to listen to Meat Loaf since we started going out 3 yrs. ago) was asking me some questions about Meat Loaf and so I went online to find some answers...well my BF walked past the computer on his way to our bedroom and took a look as he was passing by and said: "when did you take that picture of me...oh my god, that's Meat Loaf, isn't it!!"

Well, I was looking at some old pics of Meat from 1978/79 and My BF hadn't seen them before...he looks just a little like Meat from Bat 1- after I had convinced him that he doesn't look *that* much like Meat Loaf (he doesn't really- only in certain pictures-and I swear I didn't notice this at first!! But after he quit smoking he gained quite a bit of weight, and all of a sudden, he sort of does) one of our roomates came home and asked us if we wanted to go to a party on Halloween. My BF explained that we couldn't, we were going to see Rocky Horror Picture Show...well, my roomate asked my BF if he was going to dress up and my BF said "yeah, I'm gonna go as 70's Meat Loaf" well my roomate responded with "oh, so you're not dressing up, then?"

Now I fear my Boyfriend has a complex! Poor guy!:lol: :lol: :lol:

Dead right it's depressing. My other best matches were Rod Stewart (i'm sure I won't be young enough for him). Michael Bolton - don't fancy him.
Michael Richards - whoever he is. :roll: :roll:

That is too funny Leah, Great story :lol:


Maria

In reply to Fallen Angel............Hi
Meat id dining at Quigleys in Glasgow City Centre.
Booked for 50 people for thanksgiving. Because he is in Glasgow SECC on thanksgiving, this is his way of treating his companions, roadies etc on tour

Could the girl on the right be Doreen Chanter? Compare with photo in Meat Loaf and the Neverland Express UK tour book (Bad Attitude tour), 1984-85.
-Kathy

Hi, Kathy! You know, I had thought about Doreen, but I'm picturing her as much prettier lady. Also, if this is Doreen, then the brunette would be Kati Mac. Has anyone ever seen her as anything but a blonde??

But I always had a feeling that this picture was taken around the time he was with them...so I guess it's still up in the air. It could be!

What does everyone else think? Maybe there are folks here who got to see Kati and Doreen, and they might be able to tell us more. I'd still love to know!!

Thanks again, Kathy!

Sorry I haven't posted any new photos here for a few days. But I just received something in the mail from Eva and it has photos in it I've never seen before (they probably won't be new to some of you, but they were to me). And I'm going to try to scan some of those in and put them up here in the days to come.

I know right now, though, we're all waiting for photos from the concerts going on and I don't want to do anything to take away from them!!

So, I'll try to do a little at a time, in between the news from Germany!! :D

Hey, a Glasgow restaurant for Thanksgiving dinner!! Doesn't sound too shabby. I wouldn't mind going... But sadly, I'll be the one doing the holiday cooking around here!! :roll: I wonder what's on the menu at that restaurant for the day??!! I wonder if they'll bring in some turkeys for it??

Well, take care, everyone!

Sending love to you all,
MB

Hi again! Well, I just couldn't stand it. I've been sitting here and looking at some of these photos. I just had to have a share with you!! :wink:


First up, looks like it comes from the '88 European tour, where Meat dressed up for part of it like Hook. Have any of you seen this shot before? It was new to me.

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/heartandsoul.jpg


And second, I hope Kathy comes back to see this--here are Meat and the NLE from the Kati Mac and Doreen Chanter year(s).

Now, I don't want to seem catty, but isn't Doreen prettier than the woman in that other photo? What do you all think??

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/meatNLE85.jpg


More to come....

Love,

Thanks for the pics MB.
I don't know how much more drooling my poor keyboard can take :twisted:

Thank-you MB, I need to lie down in a darkened room.


Rosie

YUMMI!!

Well said Leah :twisted:


Maria

Good pictures! - no, I hadn't seen either of them, but I have a lot of catching up to do :)

About the "other woman" vs. Doreen, I can't tell! I had just about convinced myself it was her; now I'm unsure again. In the tour book she has pretty but angular features, and straight hair. Oh well.
-Kathy

You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth Leah :))
Thanks MB !!!

Vicki

I'm really begining to believe that I need a life. I am spending WAY too much time here drooling over my keyboard. My husband's sense of Ha-Ha is quickly fading away :wink:

I know that feeling hun...but then my hubby never had a sense of Ha - Ha....

You have got a life it's here with us!!!!!

Thanks Rosie and Heat. I feel so much better now :lol:

tink...XOXOXOXOXO

Hi guys! I couldn't find any really SCARY photos to share in honor of the holiday today, Tink,
but I do have some GOOD ones!! :wink:


First up, I just love the expression on Meat's face here!

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/duocalm.jpg


I probably put this next one up during the wrong occasion.
It reminds me of Christmas with all the colored lights!
Here's Meat with one of the Goff sisters:

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/meatgofflights.jpg


And finally today--
for now, the closest I could come up with Meat in costume--
from 1988, Meat as Hook!!

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/meathook1.jpg


Well, that should be enough to get the 'spirits' rising in ya!! :devil:

Have a Happy Halloween, friends!

Love to you all,

oooooh, wonderful pictures. I have one very very close when he is captain hook. its a black and white photo and its great. O got it from a member from the ancient fanclub back in 88. her name was Bianca R. Does anybody know this girl cause she was a huge fan. I have to find someone with a scanner to put the photo here.

Hey all -

Finally decided to stop lurking and register!! Of course the compatibility link forced me to :lol:

Here's my results:
Physical- 57% (impossible!)
Emotional 100% (what can I say!!)
Intellectual 58% (this has to be wrong!)
Overall-73%

The emotional ranking must come from my raging sicilian genes!!

I promise to not be a stranger anymore around your forum.

Debbi V

Those are wonderful pics MB. I love the expression on Meat's face as well on the first one. They definately put me in the mood, for Halloween that is :twisted:
Hi Debbie, it's nice to meet you. Welcome to the forum :D


Maria

Thanks for the welcome, shadow1000001!!!

Love all the great pics you folks are posting here - gets me thinking about rewallpapering my bedroom :lmao:

If I ever get my scanner working again, I'll post some pictures from the December 20 Beau Rivage concert last year - managed a personal M&G because it was my son's 10th birthday that night!!

Debbi V

That's a good idea Debbi, I never thought of that :twisted:


Maria

I'd just do the ceiling :lol:



Rosie

Excellent idea Rosie :lmao:


Maria

Hi Debbie nice 2 meet you!!
Thanks for the pics. MB. I'll see what I can find.

Hi! Hope everyone had a good Halloween! And you only had friendly ghosts and ghoulies visit you yesterday!!

Debbie, welcome! So nice to have you with us here! Love to see those pictures from last year's tour!! :D

Bart, I hope you can find a scanner. I'd love to see that photo, too!! I have some more from that same tour, that I'll be sharing here, as well. I've never heard of a Bianca, though, maybe someone else here has.

Hey, F.A.! Thanks! Looking to see more from you, too! :bunny:

Well, I've got a few more pics for you today--good way to kick off the weekend. :D


First, here's another from the '88 tour:

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/meathook2.jpg


Next up, I'm not sure of the date of this one. It looks earlier than 93, though. Any guesses??

http://www.conubic.com/graphics/meatsing3.jpg


And finally, I have another from the Pam Moore days:

Hope you enjoy them!!

Actually, i THINK (not super positive) that last one is Kati Mac, before she started dying her hair. She did two tours, one where she was the only singer (as a brunette) -- i think they even did a performance on TOTP of Modern Girl that's been shown on TOTP classic (i forget the exact name of the 'oldies' show, sorry!!) in recent years. Then she toured as a blonde and with another backing vocalist in the band, Doreen Chanter. I could be wrong though about that photo being her!! But i remember one of the Meat sites also having photos from old tour books, and Meat and Kati, as a brunette, were shown doing Paradise, and Kati was dressed up as a cheerleader -- if i can remember the site, i'll post the link. Take care!!

Jen S.

Hi, Jennifer!! THANKS!!

You know, I asked a little while ago if anyone had ever seen Kati Mac as a brunette, because I had only seen her as a blonde!! And we didn't get any responses here.

Pam Moore was just a guess on my part because this photo did not come with captions of any kind!!

I'd love to see more photos of Kati with dark hair, if you can find them!!

Thanks again!! :D

Love,
MB

Hope i didnt sound like a snotty little know it all or something, sorry if i did!!! I cant recall the correct web address for this site anymore, but if anyone knows the actual web address of the "Escape From Hell" site, i believe THAT's where there's the photos from different tour books in one section. Hope this helps!! Take care!!

Jen S.

jennifersal- no need to apologize! We're all know-it-alls when it comes to Meat, and damn proud of it!!! :lol:

..oh..my GAWWWD...MB!!! ...yer KILLIN' me...but WOT A WAY TO GOOOOO.....

not that the ones from today don't also make me weak-knee-d...Meat with black silk shirt *klunk*

Oh god- I'm gonna go lie down

Strange!!
 

Hey - remember when we had talked about our dreams at night?? Well! I had another one. This time it wasn't about Meat!! :cry:
For god sakes it was about John Miceli(sp), What is that about? In the dream He showed up at my home, which is odd because I am never here. We hung out and and talked like we had known each other. He came back from Germany for one day and was heading back again today for another show. God! it was weird, well can't get into how weird :oops: but why him?? I mean he's got a great smile and hits those drums great, but oh well! don't know. So then I woke this am and ran to my computer which hasn't been working on the west coast. I clicked on Kasim's web and the strangest thing at the bottom was picture of Kas with John. Then I clicked on the tour dates to see when they are due in concert again. Anywho - couldn't figure it out, haven't dreamed about Kas yet and I have won passes to meet him. Strange brain I tell you.

Most, BostonCPA

Hey, Jen! No, you never sound like a 'snotty little know it all' to me! So, don't worry about it! :D

I've seen the website you're talking about, but you know, it's been a LONG time ago! Is it still up here and is it active? Does anyone know?

Hiya, Tink! Yeah, I love the lacies, too!! Those pics get me every time!! :mrgreen:

Boston, Congrats on your win!! :bunny:

What are you eating for dinner??!! I think I'd like to try some of it, whatever it is, and maybe it'll improve the quality of the dreams I'VE been having lately!! (I won't bore you with details! :roll: )

Hey, you might get to meet John, too, when you redeem your Kasim backstage pass! :wink:

You know, guys, I'm in the mood for a song today. You ever feel that way--you HAVE to hear something Meaty right now or you're just not going to make it??!!

How about this one?!!

Ahhhh, that's better!! :bunny: Hope you enjoyed it!!

Love to you all,

Thank-you MB thank-you thank-you


Rosie

.....
 

Meat's "Love You Out Loud". is my fav. We warm up to it before our performance. I put it in the radio last week and it's like the OFFICAL CD for us. After that it's"Tesify and Tear Me Down". I am trying to get a clip of it to post so Meat can see Celtic dancers do it to his songs.


Also - During my dream I couldn't spend to much time with him because of my busy agenda and he had a sad face on him. I then asked when I would see him back in the states? He said "Oct." That's weird he said Oct. That's along time. Wouldn't that be weird if it happened. \


Most, BostonCPA

Thanks for the audio clip, MB, I'm listening as I type this! Very good one. I love it when Meat misses his cue to start the song. :lol: BostonCPA, here's whats odd- I dreamed about Kasim the other night, and I didn't win backstage passes with my QPQ. :? I dreamed that my husband had hired Kasim to play a concert for me and my friends in honor of my 35th birthday (big :? !) next May. The concert was good, and for some reason Kasim, the band, Pearl and Meat (who didn't appear at the concert, oddly enough) all spent the night at my house. (Where, I don't know- my house is tiny!) In the morning, I was running all over the house trying to clean up after the party while they all cooked breakfast in my kitchen! I find ketchup very revolting (yes, I'm odd), and in my dream Meat kept eating ketchup straight out of the bottle and laughing at me as I got nauseous. He was also cooking sausages, and Pearl was making eggs. Why must I have a culinary themed Meat dream? I want something a bit more interesting! :lol: Anyway, that was my Kasim dream that sort of morphed into a Meat dream.

Sherrie

I can picture it....
 

Sherrie - I can picture Meat laughing. How did Kas look. :lol: Just kiddin. It's hair that make his whole looks and when he wears those glasses. Hold on mama!! :wink: It was just so cute the little smiles and winks during the Boston concert. We all know they do that, But I finally received his CD and it's great.

Most, BostonCPA

MB, thank you thank you thank you :lol:


Maria

Those pics of Meat as Hook are, well, most excellent! Do you all know, did that go with a particular act or something? How did it fit into the show?

LOL . . . I LOVE this!!! leave it to you to put this in perspective . . . LOL

How true!

Lady B ~ sorry Meat but I couldn't help myself. We DO love you so.

Boston,

Maybe John becuz he's got such gorgous hair. I'd love to run the fingers . . . TINK . . . where's that darn pumper truck with the Holy Water?!?!?!? I just know we can use it in a case like this . . . I'm sure we can . . . I just know we can . . . John forgive me . . .

Lady B ~ who used to live in Cohasset, MA at one time and was a manager for Friendly's in Hingham, Hanover & Marshfield. (Ah, Friendly's . . . home of the very best watermelon sherbet on the planet.)

Man, I should have gotten in on this conversation a LONG time ago but I just haven't been around for anything at all lately.

Ok, if we're getting all teenager giggly, the wine is good old Boones Farm or Annie Green Springs. (Oh gosh, does that date me???)

What I find "Sexy" about him is not just that he's a larger man but I think the sex appeal for me was that he and Leslie were married for so long. It's one thing that appeals to me about Jon Bon Jovi too. In a respectful way. The fact that he didn't do all the playing around that you think of "stars" doing. That said, I know he wasn't an angel but I think you know what I mean. (The large man thing is something I never thought I'd go for either btw. I'm not referring to overweight men but those that are large in the sense that they're tall but fit. Just not too tall 'cuz I'm only 5 foot tall & it's hard to kiss a guy when he's TOO tall. :lol: )

And Gamergirl . . . "A Ladies Night With Meat"??? Oh heavens . . . the poor man, there'd be nothing left of him 'cuz he'd have no chance. Gosh, and Dottie was the lucky one too . . . sigh . . .

Lady B ~ And Rick Springfield still lives on btw . . . just not as a poster on my ceiling anymore.

Lady B ~ who didn't match up well with Meat but was a 100% match with Bono, 99% with Tony Gwynn and a 96% with . . . Lyle Lovett! Bono's not fair, we were born on the same date.

Hi, Lady B!! Where you been, girl?? We've been missing you at the forum!! Nice to have you back with us!! :D

Kathy, about Meat as Hook: There was a short European tour in 1988, where Meat's act was completely different from what we know it to be today. I'm hoping that maybe someone here was at some of the concerts and can talk about it more. I am only going on what little I've seen and what I have heard from some recordings.

But Meat started off the show in a straight jacket.

And this is what he'd say.

And then, they'd play some great music!

Later in the show, he came onstage as Hook--with the patch on his eye and a hook instead of one of his hands! We all know Jim's fascination with Peter Pan, and with Meat performing some of Jim's songs from Bad for Good during the shows, I guess I've always felt this was strange, but appropriate. :wink:

I have to admit this tour has always fascinated me. We all know that Meat plays a character onstage--the character of Meat Loaf, who is very different from the man behind the curtain.

But on this particular tour, I have always thought that his regular character was playing OTHER characters, that of the insane rock 'n' roller AND Hook--if that makes sense. And it's not easy to do that!! 8)

I don't know if he was unhappy with the results or maybe he just preferred playing the regular Meat Loaf role, but I don't think (and please, someone correct me if I'm wrong) that he ever tried this again. I think for every subsequent tour, he has just played the ML character or gone on as himself, as in the Storytellers tour.

Since we've been talking about this, I'm going to share something else with you all today. I think I had it up for a short time during Meat's birthday party at the forum. But I know that a number of you weren't able to be here for it. So, I'll give you a taste of Meat playing Hook!

Hope you enjoy it!! It's not the best recording, but I've always sort of felt like it's a miracle we can see ANY of this at all!! :bunny:

Well, enough from me for now! Have a great day, friends. Talk with you later!

Love to all,
MB

Tink, i stopped sitting on the chair a long time ago, now i just
sit on a cushion on the floor, :roll: it saves the old bottom from hurting
from to many falls on the floor, after looking at all the great
pictures, :P and lets face it girls have you ever seen a bad pic of meat?
oomph, i know i havent, but the only problem now is how are we
supposed to get through all the house work when we have a stupid
grin on our faces? i gave up trying to go shopping after being on
here a while back, as i got to many funny looks! :twisted:

...MB!!!!!...thanks for the WONderful share of Meat as Hook...

tink..all meatied up and glad she has somewhere to...err..why..come...lol...HERE she means....HEEERE.....why youuuu...rolling...XO

Thanks, MB! You know, I saw a photo of Meat wearing a straitjacket in his autobiography and I _wondered_ what that was all about. That show must have been hilarious to see! And that's the first time I've ever heard Bad For Good; I didn't know Meat ever sang it. Good song - maybe a little long in the middle, but neat things happen on stage, so you wouldn't want to leave the middle out :) I wish he would put out a video, but I guess if he were going to, he would have by now. What a show that must have been. Thanks again.

Wow, I love the straightjacket monologue- very theatrical, very cool. I saw ML in the US around that same time, maybe a year later, and there were no costumes like that, just a straight ahead rock show.

Did he do Hook just for BFG, or for several songs?
