Adam

WOOOHOOO!! Remember to get pictures! And give us the FULL story!

Excellent !!! Congratulations :))
Vicki

Congratulations!! Funny, my husband was in Priceline getting some stuff for me on Saturday and he rang me on his mobile to say it was on the radio they were just announcing the winner of the Meat Loaf M & G! It must have been your name read out! Lucky you - have a great time! :D

Luv & Hugs
Marianne :D

Hey Adam.

I just noticed you said Uncle Bert is filmed Monday & Tuesday, so that means Meat wouldn't be on it till next week anyway as he doesn't arrive in Oz till this Wednesday. Plus the Panel is advertised in the TV guide this week as the final for the year, so he probably won't be on it I guess. No more thoughts about any other tv shows? Isn't there a morning show that Richard Wilkins does a music bit for or isn't that on any more?

Luv & Hugs
Marianne :D

Hey Ausloaf,
He is on Uncle Berts next week persumably on tuesday as thats when he is in Melbourne. Other shows which are a possibilty could be Kerry-Anne . Channel sevens and nines morning shows (channel nine is Richard wilkins) Anyway I should ask his management on thursday when I meet him. Universal music rang me to confirm details and I get tickets tommorrow my wife cant wait either as she is also a big fan.

Adam

Hi Adam!

Please keep us posted :)
And I really hope you and your wife have a fantastic time !! Give him a big hello from all of us here :))

Vicki

anyone in the UK can get the Australian CHSIB album from play.com for £11.99. It is in stock and dispatches within 24 hours so you'll have it by the end of the week latest!! I had previously ordered with amazon.com and was estimated an Oct 16th delivery date!! Play is the only UK place i know that has it in stock and they are very reliable and prompt with dispatches as they are who i usually use

I called Universal in Australia to see if they had any info on additional promo events or tour dates, but they did not. But hopefully the person you speak to will have some info.

I hope so - can you post it if you get any info please? I'm going mad trying to figure out how to set up the VCR for all these shows! Having a definite time/program would be a BIG help! :wink:

Luv & Hugs
Marianne :D

Well, they're on the flight over to Australia now!!!

When they do some of the TV appearances, can anyone who catches them let us know if ALL of the band are actually there or is it only Kasim, Patti and Paul? I had received a letter recently that made me wonder if ALL of the band would be on hand for Promo or just a few of them. Hopefully all are there, as they're a GREAT band and work so well together and with Meat! Take care!

Adam, would it be too much trouble to ask you if you could ask Meat why there isn't any promo for the album in NZ? He posted on this forum earlier this year (under the name Fire Ball) that it would be relaunched in NZ to coincide with the Australian release, and that there would be a single. But the album has now been released in Australia, and the record company in NZ, Universal, deny any plans for promo dates, an album relaunch or single. If anyone else gets to meet him at any time would you consider asking this too? I get nowhere with the record company in NZ.

Jen, I will let everyone know here about anything I see. In NZ we get a bit of Australian programming, so rest assured that if I see anything, a review will be forthcoming. But like you, I am keen to hear from the Australians if they see anything there.

Cool Shane, thanks so much for planning to post reviews of any of the TV you might be fortunate enough to catch! I really love the live performances/tv spots, but at least here in the States, those have been FAR too few in recent years! But also, I AM rather curious as to who in the band, besides who I mentioned, will be there as well, if at all, as like i said, i got a letter recently from someone that had me wondering if everyone would be on hand for the promo or just a few! Sorry to hear about the NZ promo troubles, hopefully you'll have a nice surprise in your area, just would be nice if you had some advanced warning about it though, huh?! Good luck, hopefully something is indeed planned for promo in NZ! (dont ya just love record companies?? NOT!) Take care!

Jen S.

Hi all,
I will be seeing Meat in Less than twenty four hours and Yes Shane I will ask the questions as I will be speaking with the universal promo manager just before I meet Meat. And will Post all info after the meeting. This is a dream come true and can not wait.
Keep Rockin and I ll be back soon

Adam

Have fun, Adam! 8)

Great day to you!

Mariella

That's excellent Adam !!
Have a fantastic time ... and don't forget to fill us in on all the details when you get back :))

Vicki

Just checking in ... has anybody seen him on tv in Australia yet ?

Vicki

I saw your response to Meat ... I'm so glad you got the chance to meet him and enjoyed the show :))

Vicki

Vicki,
He was awsome although tired and a bit pressed for time when we met him he was still gracious and all that I thought him to be. He was a real performer on the show and pretty much took over and really gave it to them and got the crowd wild espicially for a young kid performing. I cant wait to get my photos.

Adam

That's great Adam :))
You'll have to share those photos with us -- I can't wait to see them!

Some info regarding Meat's performance at the NRL Final
 

It looks like those of you living outside Australia or NZ may be able to get your chance to listen to him perform at the NRL Final.

Here is a schedule of events for the day which mentions Meat.. Bear in mind that these are Australian times, which I am almost certain (no guarantees though) that the times stated are GMT+10:

http://www.nrl.com.au/finals/general.html

According to this schedule, it looks like Meat will only be a minor part of the entertainment, and not the headliners (who understandably are an Australian band). But hopefully he can convince viewers and listeners that he is the best!!!

I am told that an Australian radio station that can be heard online, http://www.2gb.com.au, will be broadcasting the event. However, one cannot be sure that they will broadcast the non-game (ie Meat) parts. I cannot find any information about the broadcast on that site, however, there are links to listen at the top of the home page, and near the bottom right (you might need to scroll down).

So if you have good bandwidth and are able to save the performance somehow, you might like to do others a favour and make it available for others later.

Hmm! Half an hour to cover Meat Loaf singing both Bat Out Of Hell and Couldn’t Have Said it Better, Kelly Clarkson singing Miss Independence, a Tribute to The Greatest Ever Kangaroos and The Hoodoo Gurus singing That’s My Team! I don't think they're going to be singing the long versions of either BOOH or CHSIB!!

Plus Channel 9 won't be broadcasting it as they're showing "Second Grand Final Preview" at that time!

What a shame....!

Couldn't Have Said It Better has debuted at 38 on the Australian albums chart:

Thanks for the update Shane !!
