Someone just leaked a new song on youtube :(
 

A song was just leaked by some punk who snuck a camera in the Rock & roll fantasy camp and recorded the whole damned song under Meat's nose.

I didnt watch it, but a friend sent me a link. i am not going to watch it.

Not posting it here, but thought you'd all like to know that.

Whoeveer posted it on youtube should be ashamed :(

I'm not that surprised to be honest, leaks are more frequent now in this day and age. I don't really think it'll affect Meat too much in the long run, one song leak isn't really that big a deal, I mean hell Dream Theaters newest album leaked a few weeks and it was still their biggest selling album to date and cracked the top 10 in the US.

Things like this is not new and is bound to happen, just like when Meat had Bat 3 played on internet radio, it was ripped from the stream, and leaked onto the net. If you want to avoid stuff like this, best thing is not to play it, keep it under wraps until it's release. The track sounds different to usual Meat material, not saying anything more.

found it. woah

Wow. very different, but VERY interesting. Not saying anymore.

I suspect Chief is going to be mad. How damn disrespectful to him to leak this.
But, thanks for letting us know Wario.

Also found it. Can't wait to hear the rest of the album.

If I didn't believe to know better, I'd almost suspect that video was a marketing trick and a bait exclusively designed for WarioLoaf. :twisted:

Ok, 3 things:

1) People who leak that kinda stuff really ought to have more consideration for what they're doing and allow the artist to launch the album as they plan to. I work for Ford and know what kind of disruption it causes when a new car picture gets leaked too soon - spoils a lot of hard work. I wasn't there, but I'm sure it would have been mentioned that it is top secret pre launch etc etc. Shame on them.

2) Having said all that in no 1, objectively in this particular case, sound quality is not that great, so I can't imagine anyone recording the streamed version and using that instead of a released MP3 or whatever. Therefore, no obvious financial harm done, and it is free and widely available publicity for the new album, which may lead to more sales than would otherwise have been the case. It could even have been released with the blessing of those involved for this very reason - releasing the track of TMIL certainly raised interest and awareness of Bat3, and although that wasn't a planned leak and they were sort of forced into officially making it available, I bet they learned that it can be a useful appetiser...

3) Song sounds f-ing awesome, can't wait to hear more of them (via approved distribution channels, of course!)

Song is stunning.

Shame they've posted that after Meat was so secretive for so long, only giving small clips. But I couldn't help but listen to one minute of it, then I turned it off so as not to hear too much. What I did hear was epic, and Meat's voice sounds so loud and clear. That segment he let loose before where the only line heard was: "the sweetest dream you've ever seen", he almost sounded like he did in the late 80s.

I'm buying the cd. Just so Chief is aware ;) That song is mad awesome. MADNESS!

i think he knows we will all buy it [ loyal bunch that we are ]
would love to hear it? [ sorry meat, just that i cant wait any longer ]:D

Sorry, I couldnt resist! It is awesome! And of course I will buy the album...no doubt about that! Arghh Im sooo exited to hear more!

i can't wait for the CD either.....it is disappointing someone leaked this since Meat has been so protective of the CD with the info he has been giving us via twitter.... :-) thank you for the Tweets Meat :)

where can i hear it? please anybody?

I second that Megan

:D:D i know this friend of a friend who knows a friend or some punk thing... anyway if it is marketing it may works, if not ......
oh and you can hear it on youtube - happy new year :-P

Hint: WarioLoaf was that outraged that he kindly provided a whole lotta information. ;)

Like a 1980s Meat Loaf being the lead singer of a modern version of Led Zeppelin. :D

cheers! really great tune:D

[QUOT]Hint: WarioLoaf was that outraged that he kindly provided a whole lotta information. ;)[/QUOTE]

didn't i say that ;)
oh maybe not that clearly, sorry :D

I couldn't help myself and had to give the clip a listen, and I'm really really glad that I did before it maybe removed.
The song is AWESOME!!
Can't wait to hear more like this one. :))

J. xo

I think it may have been removed, I can't find it, I'll just listen to it when it comes out. Buying it regardless.

Yep, it's down. Leak sealed.

Thanks for the heads up. Those of you who heard it I'm glad you liked it. I have taken it down.
M

You're very welcome Meat :-) And I'm glad you've taken it down.
Vicki

Good-o

Can't wait for it to come out.... is there an expected date yet?

Stay tuned .... we'll know more January 11-12 ish.

Cool cool, will be waiting with much anticipation!!

You're welcome bro.

i have no regrets not watching it, even when i had the chance BD

Thanks for taking it down Meat... Can't wait to hear the CD! :D

Well I'm also glad its down. It is a stellar track. Drama-wise it has the fireworks in it like Took The Words has. Figuratively speaking. Music & Lyric wise, nothing like Took The Words. It isn't like anything I ever heard before.

Didn't hear it...I'm very eager to sample some of Meat's new stuff, but I guess if the man doesn't want it out yet, it shouldn't be there.

just listened to it twice [ i promise :lol: ]
what a belter!!

and i think its great we will get to see meat every week as a judge:D
looks like being a great year for us all!!

The word 'gutted' springs to mind!

where did you hear it, now
Meat

I haven't tried to find it again. But if I come across it Meat, I'll be sure to post here so you know.

edit> I'm sure all of us will let you know. We love you so much, man!

I just did a quick look on YouTube and couldn't find it on there

Perhaps nikox1 meant just as in "only listened to it" ?

Caryl

Meat were you referring to this comment?

I think they may have been saying they only listened to it twice....not as in "just listened" as in this very moment in time. The video is gone as others have checked.

Suzieq

Posted at the same time :)

I'm pretty sure it's down for the count now.

So is my readem and weep live video .... I guess it was for the best

was there any banjo on it???

Yes, just for you, I heard it myself:lawl:

Banjo's Tops!!

yes just to clear it up for you meat, i played it twice when it was available
its no longer there? and like the others i will report anymore leaks
on a positive note = the song was great, really good!! and the quality of the recording was not great, so no real harm done:D, the music was clear enough,
but i couldnt make out most the words? so it should be ok
