Memories from the past
 

Do you remember your first intro to MeatLoaf or when you got hooked, Bat1 1978 in Cornwall ,1st concert live at Wembley ,was also recorded for The Old Grey Whistle Test, I had on a betamax tape sadly gone forever.

:twisted: Hi, and welcome to the forum :D

For me, it all started with an advert for Woolworths :shock:

You can see why, as well as reading how other fans got into Meat, in this thread here :mrgreen:

i remember the very first time i got hooked on meat loaf was when the single anything for love was released i bought it not really knowing what it would be like and the first time i listened to it i thought oh my god what a great and powerfull song i soon became very hooked on meat loaf from that moment

I remember seeing Meat for the first time back in 1978 on the 'Old Grey Whistle Test' with my boyfriend at the time, and let's just say Meat Loaf has a lot more 'staying power' for me than boyfriend ever did.
Meat has rocked me ever since. Luv cx:D

Thanks for all help and replys . Since my first intro ML has spread like a virus through my family . Its got so bad that last years concert in Norfolk that along with me at 54,also went mother 76, sister 55 and hubby 54, my neice 32, my daughter 25, her partner 37, and I treated myself to a Meet the Meat pack ,life time ambition achived. We all enjoyed a good time , even mother at her 1st ever concert.

that sounds great..the whole family..

:twisted: Any more family members become fans, and we'll have to open a branch office of the fan club at your house :lol:

That would be handy, it's just up the road from me!

I always remember seeing the video for "Anything for love" when i was a kid and it reminded me of my fave thing at the time; Beauty and the Beast. But it really wasn't until i was going out with my first boyfriend and we were sat in his kitchen eating chocolate ice cream and his dad was playing Two out of three. Thats when i went to the library got out some meat cd's on loan and listened to them constantly! lol

Have you ever been round the ring road there, it's hell!!!!!

Depends when you go round it... rush hour is a nightmare, any other time's not bad...

Wow, what great stories, I love hearing how other people got hooked on Meat Loaf. I became a fan with the original BOOH, I loved the songs and thought what an amazing voice. My friend got me the album for my 17th birthday, and another friend got me a concert ticket and I've been hooked ever since.

Heard 2 out of 3 on the radio in 1978. Job done. Fan for life!

Thanks for putting that link up, it was really interesting reading how everybody got into Meat's music and became fans. While I've been a lifelong fan, I only joined both fan clubs a couple of years ago as I didn't have a computer before then, now I don't know how I ever got by without one!!!!!!!!! Joining the fan club was the best thing I ever did and I've never looked back.
