Meat - we know you give your all - I'm sorry for those who travelled to see you and couldn't, but you know Shit happens - its not your fault. My mother died last year and I was distraught - but was that her fault??? No - it just happens and we all gotta learn to live with it. I just wish you wouldn't beat yourself up over it - you give soo much happiness to so many who enjoy your shows, I'm sure no-one wants you to stop until your ready to.

You know - that is great - so many artists in your position wouldn't care but we can see you do. I just hope your promoters manage to get the message through to the TV and radio stations about what you're doing so the general public can see that you care.

I was there in Newcastle that night and we were gutted - but we were gutted at the thought that you might never perform again - we were gutted for you!

It will be fantastic to have you back in Newcastle.

Any chance of the return of the Bat Cave?????

What about the German shows? Are they still being planned or are the plans abandoned?

Some? I think you'll be pleasantly surprised to find that more than some of us will be there. :))

Hey Meat. You said 11 shows are planned for Downunder. Are you coming to Perth? I hope so. Hopefully the Fat Lady slims down and looses her voice.:-)

Meat has announced that the end is nigh numerous times. I still forsee some kind of Greatest Hits tour after the Hang Cool tour has finished. From what I've heard of Justin's piano playing so far it would be a shame if he didn't get a chance to bash out some of Meat's back catalogue. :twisted:

[QUOTE=Fire Ball;512351] With my weakness being my chest and lungs. I can't take giving so much grief to so many people. Much less myself.

Is there a reason why the shows have to be every other night? Why can't they be 2 days a week, this way your lungs would get enough rest in between shows. I don't know anything about scheduling shows, just asking. The tour would be long, but it might benefit your health which is more important. I don't believe anyone on here would object to 2 days a week instead of every other night.

I really tried to stay awake for Lopez but just couldn't do it. Thank you for posting the clip. I just love Los Angeloser. Missed the HOT RED jacket thou.

Sounding awesome! UK tour on sale 1st week in September - brilliant! just when my pay comes in! excited!

The cost at a rough guess. Meat would still have to pay for the band and crew whether they are working or not, plus all the hotel expenses.

All your german fans wait for dates in Germany !
I have a spark of hope if things work out, we can see you next spring ;):??:
I hope my HCTB CD survive the permanent use till then :lol:

I just watched it and I thought it was fantastic Meat, I thought it rocked too. I'm sure I will be watching it many times.

This newest arrangement is superb. Love the extra percussion!

Thought the TV coverage was very poor though, the camera seemed to spend more time panning across the back of the audiences' heads rather than showing what was happening on stage. That's not how I like to watch my Meat on TV!

I know this would be more expensive (as Evil already pointed out), but I still think it's a great idea. Maybe just a few shows in select areas, filmed for a DVD, or perhaps shorter segments (8-10 shows) with longer breaks (2-4 weeks) in between them :??:

Meat .. of course you have to do what's best for you. But HCTB in a Storytellers format or a Greatest Hits tour (where you hit on every cd you've ever recorded) would be absolutelly amazing :))

Nah! Skip some of the crummier albums like MATLAF and BBIS. It will leave more room in the set for the better songs. :twisted:

Good point :wink: Definitely leave out Masculine :))

Ditto, ditto, ditto!!! :D

"Ultimate best of tour" set list talk moved to here

Thanks Andy :))

It's a really fun performance. My goodness, Patti looked good. Promo performances are always edited clips of songs, but "Los Angeloser" works very well in the live show.

HOORAY!!! I am SO excited! Thanks for your post Meat.

That along with no shows near me (yet again) is why I have high hopes for a dvd from this tour. Much better than the MSO and 3 Bats sound although they were good shows, this stuff rocks more and Meat's voice free of the cysts is in the best form in quite some time.

I'm afraid to ask :D

Yes, Meat truly sounds amazing right now, and I absolutely agree with you about a live DVD :pray:

"Lopez Tonight"
 

Yo people. I don't this has already been discussed, but has anyone seen the clip of Meat performing 'Los Angeloser' on "Lopez Tonight"? Don't get me wrong, I love Meat and his music, but I really thought that was the poorest I've heard him... shall we say in a very long time. Just wondered what your thoughts were?

Try the thread Lopez Tonight in Loaf, Camera Action. Clips and discussion.

Me? I agree with Meat .. he rocked!! And sounded great .. there's a poor quality clip and a good one (the second in the thread) The second one gives a better quality sound, and with the full band backing this version edited for the studio was close to the fntastic performance Meat and the NLE do of this song in the live shows. He's singing as good as he was in the early nineties .. amazing!

In all honesty my thought is how could you not find this thread?
