Fans around the world
 

I dont think Ive EVER seen an Asian, Arabic, or African Meat Loaf fanatic.

has anyone ever encountered any at a Meat & Greet or such?

Answering that comment above is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. Just because we don't hear or see them doesn't mean they don't exist. My two cents.

I have met a few Asian fanatics online and also some from the Arab nations (i forgot which country)...this is currently because of the fan campaign single. I saw one african american at a Boca Raton, Florida show once. He was rockin' out. These are just my observations.

maybe its because they dont speak english or dont feel the need to visit a UK based forum? :shrug:

But has the Loaf ever performed in asia? I remember seeing some pics from a tokyo concert from the late 70's but that's about all I know...

Oh wait i seem to recall a guy with a big Afro on the storytellers DVD....

Note to self: Watch Storytellers tonight. Still lmao, I see they cleaned up the spill on aisle 5.

i'm sure there must be asian or other cultures with meatloaf fans, people all over the world buy his records

I have met Meat Loaf fans from all over and have some on my Facebook. Is USA / Europe / South America / Australia / East Russia / Israel / South Africa not enough "around the world" for your liking?

As for the meat and greets. Only lunatics would pay so much money to see him. At least that group is only confined to people from the USA / Europe / Australia. :))

There may even be the odd Welshman...

I think Meat performed in the United Arab Emirates before, so I'm sure he has a few Arabic fans out there. Did he perform in Iran or Iraq? Not sure about that.

Wasn't he paid to do a private concert in an Arab country once or am I making things up? :shrug:

See his autobiography, chapter Sheik of Araby.

I've never owned or read it. :shock:

I just did. then got cought up and read the next chapter about the barn show.

Late 80s he was in the middle east ... wonder how they reacted to Masculine...

The same way everyone not called Warioloaf reacts to it? :lol:

Even more bizarre than the question :shock:

Meat's certainly toured the Middle East, but that was back in the 80s and his audiences were mainly European, although he refers to some Muslims attending.

Now .. in the UK I'm not sure I'd notice one way or the other .. it's not something I think about; we're all people enjoying a great night of rock'n'roll. But certainly I've had friends who have been fans who would probably be in your target group, British people who can trace their ancestry back to Asia, Africa, Jamaica etc. But of course Meat has fans around the world as Andrew says.

Maybe they wouldn't have understood what the word Masculine meant!!! The antics in Paradise seemed to worry Meat Loaf more anyway, that's why they had to change it out there.

theyd didnt change it out. in the book he just says they turned out the lights during the sex sequence

I think I've been declared a lunatic via Andrew. :shock:

I'm in the same group twice so it's ok. ;-)

That's what I was referring to. He also said Leslie was spat on well they were walking around one night for showing some skin. :shock:

Im in the same group as well :))

Actually for being in the street after dark, according to the book. It doesn't say anything about how she was dressed.

Either way women can't show much skin out there, if any. Hardly a place you would go and perform on regular basis if you were Meat Loaf, especially the way Patti and CC dress sometimes. ;)

Hardly a place I would go at all with those kind of stupid rules.
