And now .. MULTI TWEET :)

:cool:

:cool: :lol:.

you were beaten by the robot again

:cool:

Yeah, but she won't give up. ;)

It's nice that he introduces all those people, it's interesting to see who's involved.

Yes even the dog :bleh: :lol: !!

If there is one, we are not promised one.

i'm sure Patty nor Patti are that bothered

why? Some bands find studio singers do some things better instead, personally i don't care if they're in the studio or not, as long as they're on tour ;-)

Personally if there's duets or other female singing parts I'd much rather that Patti and CC were on the album, still somewhat lets down some of the songs on the last album in my opinion.

dog :lmao: it isn't a dog with this size

I'd much rather it be patty than CC. CC's nice eye-candy for the stage but singing-wise she don't do much for me :nope:

The last album was a total letdown when they had an Oscar nominated actress and a popular American Idol finalist do a duet with Meat and all for nothing...WTF? :wtf:

Patti gets my :up: for any lead female vocals.

But what about the others ... no Mark, and from what I've seen no session pianist as yet which is a little worrying as I like the piano driven songs as much as the guitar driven ones, and no Dave (yeah, I know he's out at some Jazz festival at the moment) who IMO deserves a part on a Meat recording for his on stage services over the last few years.

I heard a piano on one of the sound bits they played in one of the videos.

I'm sure Mark said on facebook a few weeks ago that he is on the album.

Yes he did :-) He also posted a few weeks ago that he had flown out to LA to work on some new songs for the CD. Maybe he'll be going back out there again soon.

Vicki

Totally agree. After all her years with Meat, I think Patti deserves all the featured female vocals/ duets. Plus no one sounds better with Meat than Patti.

True Patti does sound amazing, but there's nothing wrong with a bit of variety either.

I have to say that this blew me out of the water...I know Jennifer Hudson back from AI, I know her voice well, I voted for her numerous times and yet...when I've heard her voice on the album, it didn't even sound like her...I couldn't believe my ears...

Not sure what happened but is it possible that something happened during sound mixing/production, etc? I am not very clever about those things...

I'd choose 'the best' over 'variety' anyday. The 'variety' on Bat III just didn't sound right.

Absolutely agree that Patti should duet, but as far as backing vocals it isn't important for me, i think Patti is a little busy right now anyway so if there are duets then maybe they are saving those until she is finished with Cher ;-)

As i said (maybe a bit better this time lol) as long as they all turn up on tour i'm not bothered who does BACKING vocals.

no sign of kasim lately? anyway i wonder has meat laid down some of the vocals yet?

if they need a great vocalist for a duet, I'm 100% in favour of taking patti.

if they have a particular song, where they have a particular female singer in mind, I'm in favour of being flexible and trying to get the person who's best suited for the song.

One more point to make...if Meat is doing any song gospel feel and sound - Patti doesn't have that type of the voice - it is a very specific voice mostly owned by black women...

:cool: :lol:.

Kasim's currently touring with Todd Rungren :-) I think they only have a few shows left, so he'll probably be back recording with Meat again soon.
Vicki

:cool::lol:

Reminds me of a joke I heard:

My wife said she wanted more variety in our sex life.
Now I tell a few jokes, make love to her then sing a song.

Kasim is on tour with Todd until 4th July but this week they don't have any gigs so have the week off. They start touring again on Sunday.

Imagine that there's Kasim Sulton :-)

Thanks Sue :))

Videos delayed. Meat is saddened to hear of the loss of Michael Jackson. A true legend who has brought happiness to many fans worldwide.

So much for delaying them :shock: :roll: !!!


Thanks to the boss for letting me play with videos while away. Hope you all enjoyed them. Message directly from Meat coming tomorrow.Roxanne

:cool:

Yeah I was really shocked to hear that on the news this morning. It still doesn't seem quite real.

Carole

:cool::lol:

:cool::lol:

I thought Patti's live vocal on "Testify" was awesome. Her voice can sing anything- from Aretha to Janis.

Meat looks really great in the videos.

at least he is notifying us on the new ad, unlike the AT&T one where alot of us were completely surprised outta our wits.

This must be the commercial that Nick was talking about :

http://www.mlukfc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13266

I haven't seen it yet, but hopefully someone will post a clip of it on YouTube :wink:

Just spend the last little while catching up on about 7-10 days worth of videos as I've been away/busy... it's the little things that amuse me most; "say hi, John" "hi John" and "say hi, Paul" "hi Paul"... ah it's lovely to see them.
Very much looking forward to Patti, Mark, CC, Dave and Kasim making an appearance at some point (as I hope they will).

Are my eyes deceiving me or does he really look younger and appear more dynamic than two or three years ago?

Do you have Twitter on alert so you can get up in the middle of the night specifically to post?

Computer - "BEEP! BEEP!"
Meatgril - "F*ck in hell Meats Twittered, must beat the robot then post a thought saying I'm absolutely knackered"...LOL :))

4.27am is a crazy time to be up on a Monday night/Tuesday morning at least on a regular basis if you don't have holidays imo and for no other reason (ie working midnight shift, having to get up early to commute etc) but each to their own I guess.

yeah but hey it's her life...we'll just all know why Emma is f****** knackered from now on...plus my housemate who suffers from occasional bouts of insomnia tells me there's great infomercials on at that time:D

Oop looks like I've missed something here. Meat Loaf on ghost hunters? Has this been on telly here yet? I have been away for a few days and then been sick, but okay now, just recovering, and am only catching up on Meat twitters, but have I really missed that much? Can someone please tell me when this will be on over here? Ta luv cx

dont worry, you havent missed anything important ;)
He took a break from recording last week and went to NY to be a guest (?) on ghost hunters. I dont think an air date has been scheduled yet.

Great as they are, I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with the quantity of videos - to the extent that I haven't watched one in a couple of weeks... I generally just read what you lot think of them, and if you keep talking about a specific video for long enough, THEN I watch it. I don't think this makes me a bad fan, particularly...just a lazy one! And I will watch them eventually...when I have nothing else to do :oops:

Anyway, don't criticise Emma for posting the vids as soon as they are 'tweeted' - as here's the only place I'm likely to bother viewing them from! :oops:

nooooo, of course youre not a bad fan :kickass:

Must say I haven't watched a number of videos for a while. It's too damn hot at home upstairs, there are a lot to view now and when I am behind my computer there then I'd rather do something productive. Can't watch the vids at work really. I hope I will catch up with them in the next few days.

I think it is good someone can be arsed to embed the vids in a thread so Emma does get a lot of respect from me for doing that even if she wants to be up at insane times. ;-)

:up:

Thanks RM i Luv cx

I haven't watched any of the Ghost Hunter ones because I think ghosts are a load of bullshit and those that 'hunt' then down are a little :nuts:

"We had soft ice cream but I can't show you that because I ate it." :lawl: I knew there would be another video in which he talks about food.

Is Meat Loaf hunting ghosts this week too? I thought he said that last week was a break from the studio, and that they were going to continue with studiowork at Cavallo's this week...? :?

:lol:

No .. I think he's back home now. Maybe they decided to take another week off before they go back into the studio :??:

the way I understand it is that he shot a bunch of "Meet ... " videos before he left for NY, which were posted by Roxanne over the week he was away. And while he was away he shot a bunnch of stuff too, which is posted now that he's back in CA again.

Meat's Tweet with Justin Hawkins
 

Someone should have let Meat know that the Darkness split up in 2006... no wonder Justin looked so miffed!

Does anyone know what he's doing there anyway? Hopefully having no part in the album after the nasty comments he made on Top Gear about Meat and his music!

Luke

what comments?

I can't remember exactly but he was siding with Clarkson's dislike of Meat's music and made some remark about Meat saying 'just treat me as a Dad' while they supported him in Germany. Nothing major really but quite a surprise to see him pop up on a Twitter!

Maybe someone else has a better recollection?

frankly i dont really care if they like him or not, it's more important they make good music together (if they actually are)

if they do a duet, I could have great fun with that, as I do Darkness songs in my set.

Can anybody view the video that was posted on Twitter today? When I click the link, it takes me to an ImageShack page but all I see is this ad:

"Citizenship test: Are you allowed to live in Germany?" - LOL

Can't find anything new on YouTube yet.

It's doing the same thing with me very annoying!

Both links don't seem to work. :shrug:

Can watch the videos on YouTube now. Meat and the singer of Foxy Shazam - interesting.

Meat Loaf and Adam Lambert? interesting!

it looks like meats gonna have plenty of guests on this album?
as for justin hawkins? who are ya?:D

Justin Hawkins is the lead singer of The Darkness.

Just because Meat introduces them doesn't mean they'll be on the album, they could just be friends with Rob Cavallo and popping in for a cup of tea.

Mine isn't that he made any negative comments at all .. I was doing the crossword at the time Clarkson introduced him saying something about him touring with Meat Loaf in Germany which got my attention so I looked up at the screen. Clarkson was pulling a face, so had clearly said something unflattering about Meat or Germany or both I supposed .. let's face it we are talking about someone who routinely refers to the French as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" aren't we? ..

But Justin Hawkins just smiled a bit vacuously and said yes, he'd toured with him .. which I didn't take as him necessarily agreeing with whatever Clarkson had said, but rather wasn't going to take him on right at the opening of the interview .. then said it was good (touring with Meat) and Meat had said to treat him like his dad, Clarkson pulled one of his faces for the camera and they moved on. My impression was that far from siding with any negative view (and let's face it Clarkson adopts negative views for humorous effect) Justin was trying to express something about Meat being a nice guy .. and I can see Meat saying something like that :)

Darkness toured with him in the UK too didn't they? I remember at one concert Meat stood in the wings while they were playing, clearly appreciating their performance and applauding them at the end of the number

Caryl

I dont see the problem here... not anybody likes Meat Loaf, and that's nothing someone should be blamed for.
Look at the way we (jokingly) talk about Westlife on this site. Everybody's got different tastes and that's fine with me.

What the f*ck are you talking about? no one better joke about Westlife :evil: :))

I doubt Meat Loaf watches Top Gear and not many take Clarkson seriously, unless you're prostitute murdering lorry driver, and I think he's heard far worse before. That aside, The Darkness suck.

thats right!! they all just pop in to see rob for a cuppa!! [ while robs getting paid very well to produce meats album ];)

Yeah, that's why Meat says things like: "Eric is here working on the album with us" and "this is another gentleman who is helping us work on our record".

... and to get a haircut. :mrgreen:

in this case, i need a haircut and a cup of coffee - of course just to say hello to rob:lmao:

nah, the darkness ROCK

Jesus, you don't half lose track of a conversation quickly :roll: nikox1 said it looks like meats gonna have plenty of guests on this album?

Some of the people Meat is introducing will be working on the album, a lot of the more famous ones probably won't be. SHOCK HORROR Rob Cavallo is a record producer with many many friends who probably just pop round now and again since Rob's studio is in his house.

I'm guessing, and this is only a guess, that Rob doesn't work on Meats album all the time... "WTF are you talking about Pud? of course he does :nuts:" I hear you say to yourself :wacko: Well...the engineer is the main work horse at the controls of any album. A producer will say he wants this or that and then the engineer spends forever flogging his grollies off answering his masters call.

supposedly he works on a number of different albums at once. Rick Rubin is supposed to have a similar routine.

thanks for the inside info;)

LOL, Pudding, you really need to relax. If there hadn't been your name next to that posting I would probably have mistaken it for one of Caryl's. ;) Are you bored?

I neither said that all people he introduces in the videos will be working on the album nor did I doubt that Cavallo works with a lot of musicians who might just hang around there without being involved in the making of Meat Loaf's album.

:roll:

The day I start introducing posts with an exasperated "Jesus" and pepper them with emoticons will be the day you can with any justification liken my posts to those of Pud's

Caryl

Oh dear, now look what you've done Sarge :)

I'm sorry. :saint:

Let me explain. 90% of the people you have seen have worked on the record. They have sung some background , written songs and so on. The album is very good at this point and some really good twist and turns. Patti is in next week.
M

Twists and turns? Is it a thriller or a detective novel too? :))

Sure everyone will be pleased to hear Patti's involved too! :up:

ditto about Patti. I also for one, am glad that Justin Hawkins is involved too, as it'll make it interesting for me, as I do both voices lol :cool:

At once? :shock:

lol, even a legend such as I might struggle there :p

one of my party pieces years ago was Love Shack, where I'd do both the boy & girl voices. But then I stoped doing that, as I saw someone do it better lmao!

Woohoo! :D

happy days:D

Back to that Justin Hawkins thing.

He broke up with The Darkness in 2006 to get clean.

He released an amazing rock album in February this year with his new band Hot Leg.

They also toured UK together with Alter Bridge and Extreme.

Really looking forward to hear his involvement, be it his amazing falsetto voice, his amazing guitarwork or his beautiful poetic lyrics, when it comes to love songs.(Love is only a feeling, Seemed like a good Idea at the time, You can't hurt me anymore or Kissing in the Wind.)

:D

:D:cool::D

Let's be honest. Meat's hardly likely to say he thinks it's a pile of poo so far!

true, but I'm optimistic

True

Chuffed to bits Patti is involved :up:
