WOW~!

Thank you for the excellent synopsis ~ Good News all around!

ROCK ON GOOD TIMES!!!

Re: Kasim Sulton online chat synopsis (some Meat info)
 

Interesting synopsis - but I read all the way down and I can't find the answer to the question as to whether Kasim can touch his nose with the end of his tongue! I think that's a wonderful question - the person deserves the prize for the "best question of the night"

Seriously some interesting information there - thanks for providing the link

Cool! Thank's for the link! :D

Thank you Sue, for putting this up :D

T'was an excellent chat, apart from getting continually booted because there was so many people in there!! great to see so many of you there :)

Kasim was in a very cool mood and was as lovely as ever :D

Deb

great synopsis, thanks, some interesting stuff in there!! :roll:

Thanks also Sue, very interesting

Perhaps a July August tour will happen. As for ebay, dont know what to make until we hear the full story. It sounds an odd one, bon jovi i think did this stuff too only for charity, i wonder how much money meat will make out of doing this?

Well July & August would fit in with the summer pops concerts again wouldn't it? Or perhaps a few festival dates? Meat at Glastonbury? Isle Of Wight? Reading?

Yeah i dont know if i could see meat at glastonbury??? Dunno would be interesting. :idea:

meat is much better playing indoors than outdoor venues.

Yeah I'd agree with that, but more Meat is better than no more Meat in my opinion!

yeah spot on andy, he could play in a barn for all i care, just as long as he plays.

By the way Sue .. I wanted to join in the chat, but every time I tried, it said the room was full and I couldn't get in :? But that's beside the point ...

Is Kasim touring with Todd for the entire month of June :??: Maybe he meant that Meat would only be off for part of the month, and they would start touring again at the end of June or the beginning of July :??:

But didn't Kasim also say that he might be touring with Todd on the West Coast during August :??: If so, won't this affect them doing more shows in the UK and possibly in the U.S. as well :??:

Vicki

Originially Kasim was only touring with Todd until about 5th June ....but this may have changed (nothing has been posted either way and Todd's dates are only up until 23rd May so far).

Kasim said that he might be touring with Todd on the West Coast in August but I am sure that that depends on what Meat Loaf is doing first. Todd also has a September date listed but it's never been said that Kasim will be playing that one....although he might!

SueW

Thank you for the clarification.
Vicki

Meat resting in June? I thought the band was coming back to the UK in June?

I demand a recount! ;)

David, you wanted to kick my ass on Sunday :P :P

Nevaaaahhh!!!

Actually, was thinking, if I get over there...maybe we could have a drink (or seven).

ROCK ON GOOD TIMES!!!

I think the stages for the outside venues are much smaller. I remember though meat didnt fall off the stage at all at Merriweather post pavillion However he did fall off the stage at wolf trap which is also outdoors.

Sorry a little off the topic but wanted to add my two cents worth with the subject mentioned in this comment.

he fell in the RDS in Dublin years ago. thats indoors. doesn't matter weather he does the gig on his ass or standing up, outdoor gigs are not for him. he pulls it off better in doors.

If you look really closely! Squint a little. Tilt your head to the side slightly while looking at the webpage by the light of a full moon on midsummers night.... you could see a post on the topic of Kasim!!

Just kidding ;) Seems to have gone offtopic slightly though. ;)

Looking forward to more news of a possible few Kasim gigs in the UK. Hope I don't have to travel far for them! I'll hope to go to them, but I'll give no promise or no guarentees. It will depend on if I can sacrifice enough pennies to one side for it. My sisters moving out and as long as she don't hold me back, I should be able to get to one before she was gone!

Ok. I appologise Sue! Cheap humour but it amused me at least!! :)

Goodbye ( ;) )

Alex

I agree Alex - that was the best news of the whole chat for me!

SueW

Did someone say Kasim???

What about this song he has been doing, Bully. Tell us Kasim starved folks who have not been lucky enough to hear this one more about this song. The lyrics are incredible!

ROCK ON KASIM SULTON!!!

In fact I have tried at least twice to get this topic back on track....and Vicki has hardly posted to the thread.

I'd be more than happy to discuss the online chat itself.

SueW

So what do you think about toes? only joking lol.

Was really nice to see so many people at the chat, the price for that was getting booted though.

Would of been cool for Kasim to of done the play he had planned, anyone know what it was?

Deb

Hey, SueW

I would love to discuss the chat and what Kasim had to say.
How hopeful did he sound about the concerts being sold on ebay, I think that it sounds like a good idea, I know with not living in the UK and being able to attend any concerts over there I would love to buy one or two of the concerts if they should become available on ebay.

Also would love to discuss some of Kasims work as I have very little knowledge of his work and would love some feed back on Quid Pro Quo (I think that is the name of the album).

Take care.

~Autumn~

Kasim said at the chat that the E-Bay idea was Meat Loaf's and that if it does go ahead then there would be loads of copies available. (One possible solution, although not mentioned at the chat, could be to do it at a Buy It Now price so that fans don't have to bid against each other).

I don't want to post the link here (as I don't want to upset R!) but we have a messageboard on KasimInfo.com when we quite often discuss Quid Pro Quo. Or start a new thread here (as it wasn't mentioned much at the chat).

Btw, Kasim did say that he's sold out of copies of QPQ at the Meat Loaf concerts so if the other 2 concerts do go ahead, you can not purchase them at the venues but there are links on both KasimSulton.com and KasimInfo.com to buy the album.

SueW

The Bald Soprano by Eugene Ionesco... It's from the genre known as Theatre of the Absurd. Takes some getting used to. And it's very difficult to memorize as the lines don't relate to each other in a normal question/answer, logical flow of things.

Kasim was going to have a British accent, it sounded pretty good to me when he gave me a small sample this summer - and I'm a theatre major with a distinct Anglophile streak ;) ... But then again I tend to make allowances for Kasim, imagine that... Given his lack of formal acting training, it really wasn't half bad... and consider the audience - they all would have been hearing it through their NY filters anyhow. Hehehe...

Vicki saidFYI - Gina & I are the co-mods at the Yahoo board, and neither of us has even seen this kind of turnout for a Kasim chat before - it was record-breaking (at least from the 2 - 3 years since I've been a part of the crew). When Kasim & I were setting up the chat, we tried to make it at a better time for the UK folks, since they're usually up terribly late to talk to him. Seems to have worked out well for everyone, although the unwanted side-effect was the booting out of participants - even Kasim got kicked out twice... I myself got booted about 20 minutes into Kasim's time with us and couldn't even get back to the home page until the next day :evil: . Not a happy camper with Yahoo right now...

If anyone has suggestions for how to make the chat room more stable/cooperative, I'd be more than happy to hear them :) Or if you know of a more reliable chat "spot" we could "borrow" for occasional Kasim chats, let me know that as well...

Hi, SueW

And thanks for the reply yes, I do think that the buy it now option would be the way to go on ebay and that way no one is having to bid against each other and there is a fixed price for each concert being offered. I hoep that this works out and it the price is not to hi then some of us can buy a couple copies of the different concert that Meat did in the UK.

Also thank you for the information on Kasims album I really want to check it out as I have heard so many poeple on the list talking about it.

Take care and thanks again for the information.
~Autumn~

one more try,


If Kasim was to do a UK solo tour, what sort of venues would he do? Could he open for other major acts to try and build up his name? e.g the darkness owe a favour to Meat and Co? etc

That's agreat idea Chris :lol: :lol: who do you think would be suitable :lol: ?/



Rosie :lol:


Can't believe this we are on a roll 2 posts on topic I need to lie down :lol:

I'd love to see Kasim over here, Opening would get him more bums on seats, but i'd also like to see some solo shows.

3 now rosie;-)

this could turn out a good discussion, i think it prob deserves a thread of its own:

Yeah solo shows would be great, if he was to open again i think some one like Eric Clapton would be good - i see some similarities :D plus it would prob be an honour too

Yes but he needs to perform in smaller more intimate venues like the Royal Theatre in Norwich (hint) that way he would make more impact to a captive audience that couldn't disappear to the bar every five minutes before the main event started


Rosie

4 getting scary

Yeah i think someone with the similar type of audience would be better to open for, Richie Sambora is talking of doing a solo sometime, I'm pretty sure he'd love Kasim to open for him. And then play bass straight after of course :wink: That would be heaven...

5 now.... wowow

he didn't open them all....... anyway

I don't know any venues in the UK, but I couldn't care less where he played, it would be a hell of alot cheaper than going to the US :P

6....

Winston,

What Vicarage road like. How big is it?

Vicar Street. It's actually a deadly venue. It holds around 200 or so people. Alot of artists actually play there. David Lee Roth was due to play there recently, but he went and broke his face after falling of stage 8O

A deadly venue Winston


:lol: :lol:


Rosie

LOL Yeah thats what i meant! Vicarage Road is where Watford Football Club play :?

The tavern Club In Liverpool would be cool :)

I'd prefer Anfield myself Chris :P
But Kasim could get his ass over to Dublin and play Vicar Street, and then all back to mine :P :P

:twisted: Anyway, back on topic (at least for two minutes :lol: ), I think that the Cavern (don't know the Tavern Deb unless you mean Cavern) would be a great venue for Kasim to play 8) .
It's a very historical music venue.Not too big.His Beatles cover went down a storm during the Having Fun For The Summer tour.AND, if he did play the Cavern he'd get to have his name engraved on a brick (all together WWWWOOOOOOOOOO :lol: )Actually it is pretty cool all the famous names on one wall.Kasim would be a welcome addition.
I can't argue with him playing Anfield either as it's less than 5 minutes walk from my house :D .So if anyone wants a pre show cuppa.......

As for suport, hmm, bit more difficult :roll: .LOVE the idea of Eric Clapton, but no offence to Kasim, but you don't want a name that big in suport :wink: .He needs someone a little more average.I supose I could check my diary :lmao:

[quote="THE FLYING MOUSE"]:twisted: Anyway, back on topic (at least for two minutes :lol: ), I think that the Cavern (don't know the Tavern Deb unless you mean Cavern) would be a great venue for Kasim to play 8) .quote]

Lol Niel, Its them over long posts thats confused my brain!!


I'm up for a cuppa if Kasim finds his way up north :D

Chart part of the original thread.
If something's missing, tell me.

Now folks, behave and post on topic!

Nice move R!!! Was thinking this should have happened while I was out freezing my nads off walking the dog...

anyway to stay on topic, if Kasim is doing a solo tour then he can't miss out The Lowry in Manchester, which is the best small venue in this area... and it's only up the road form me, so the kettle will be on ;)

Only the kettle? was hoping I wouldnt be pregnant by then lol.

Think nearer me would be better, The cambridge Corn exchange maybe

Hey!! You can't have a six course meal accompanied by various wines followed by liquers without coffee can you? ;)

Cambridge Corn Exchange is an excellent choice too!! Nice and intimate - reckon Kas would go down a storm there!

I reckon an outdoor venue would be good.

Maybe Halifax Piece Hall,

Nice space, room for a few hundred peeps, "salmonella sam" could have his stall at the back doing suasages inna bun

What more could we want?

errrmmmmmmm a bar ? Nice weather?

This is building into quite a tour for Kas isn't it? Cambridge, Halifax, Liverpool, Manchester....... anywhere else?

How about The Dockers Club, Swansea???? :D

Re: Kasim Sulton online chat synopsis (some Meat info)
 

Dunno whether to admit that...ok...we asked that question, lol!!(me, emily and colleen) :oops: ...hey, there had to be a daft question in there somewhere!!!! :lol: Just a bit of craic - it can't all be serious! :wink:
Anyway, he said he couldn't, but he could put his elbow in his ear, lol!! :lmao:
