:lmao:

Yeah I can't wait to see the finished photos too. Meat is such a kidder isn't he?

Carole

Definitely :lol:

I love the explanation about the CD title .. and it makes me smile too :-)

I've never seen a Bad Attitude poster. i have seen a CHSIB poster. Before the mall removed my favourite record store there was a painting of Back Into Hell. In the last couple years they covered it up with mini posters of mediocre rock and such.

I think he was using Bad Attitude as an example. I don't remember seeing any Meat Loaf posters in the record store around here. But I found posters for both CHSIB and Bat 3on Ebay, and have them framed and hanging up in the computer / tv room in my house :-) I can't wait to see one for the new CD !

Me too!

:twisted: Don't forget, back in 84 Meat wasn't very big in Canada/America.

You'd be far more likely to see Bad Attitude advertising the other side of the pond.

Also Anthony, another good reason you never saw any posters for Bad Attitude at the time is that it came out three years before you were born :lmao:

''My statement about defending that title'' ...WTF! Why should Meat have to defend his records title to anyone?... On here or otherwise!?

His record, his title... No one's holding a gun to anyones head and forcing them to buy it!...

Txx

i dont think we should take every single word he says dealy serious.

Agreed. He is a joker and you never know what/who chains he may be yanking.

I can think of four words I'll never take seriously

Jim Steinman Musical Imminent?

Today's elevator tweet was fun, No? I certainly didn't wake up today to expect that today. And here I sat, laughing, waiting and waiting and watching this cool conveyor~elevator. I could tell Meat was excited to share this elevator as if to say, "look it really exists." Just like the fact he was proving he was really in Berlin showing us the snow out the window. He really cracks me up sometimes. Today was no exception.

I agree Suzie, he was so funny going up and down the elevator. He was like an exccited little kid.

Carole

Those two videos really made my day. :-)

Can't stop laughing, it is so funny. :lol::-)

Those two videos were so funny! Never saw those type of elevators either - I normally prefer elevators to stairs but I think these would freak me out...lol!!!

First time I came across one of these was many years ago in .. of all places .. a Cardiac Unit .. :lol: I thought they might be trying to rustle up customers! .. and like Meat, to begin with I felt a lot happier on the downward journey getting in a bit early before the floor was disappearing downwards ;)

Great Tweets .. and Meat's excitement made me lol .. :D

Caryl

I've never come across elevators like that either, I think it may be a bit tricky if you're stuck at the back behind slow people getting off. I think they'd freak me out a bit too.

Carole

They're actually not big enough for many people .. generally with step-on-step-off lifts is you get on one with someone you're travelling with .. particularly if you're not used to them! (the lifts that is ;) ) .. and the upside is that there's always the next one coming up a few seconds later. They're much quicker to get on and off, no waiting for doors to open/close, no pushing a button and waiting, nor sighing as you see all the ones in operation are going in the opposite direction to the one you want .. you just get on the up or down side :-) And you don't have a mass of people you have to get past in order to get out as you do with conventional lifts .. They're aimed at fast passenger movement particularly where there's limited space, not for people with luggage or supermarket trolleys ... I've found them in office buildings and hospitals (for passengers only .. no trolleys and associated life support systems .. :lol: ) and haven't yet seen them in hotels or even department stores.

Caryl

Up to two people in one wagon are allowed.:-)

hmmm....another problem could be knowing when to get off ie. if you are in a 20 story building, for example...would entail out loud counting or a large number plastered in the hallway!!! :)

The videos are hysterical :lol: I would definitely take the stairs .... I got dizzy and clostrophobic (sp?) just watching the elevator !! :shock:

It's great seeing Meat having so much fun :))

He obviously had fun. I especially like the part when he talks to the girls. :lawl:

There was such an elevator (paternoster) at the university at which I studied. The building in which it was located does no longer exist. The videos make me a little nostalgic. I think there was an attempt to put all paternosters in Germany out of service a few years ago but it failed. Fortunately - otherwise we wouldn't have gotten those funny videos.

Does anybody know which building it is in? I assume it's "Haus des Rundfunks" but Meat says the elevator is from 1978. As far as I know, West Germany has not allowed new paternosters to be put into operation since the middle of the 1970s. :??: I think it's probably older. Does anybody have further info?

Meat was saying that there was a picture of him with the radio DJ from
1978. I don't know how old the elevator is, but I'd love to hear more about it too Sarge :-)
