Meat Loaf at Live8!
 

Hi everyone - have you seen the papers today which are alleging that Meat has been turned down to perform at the Hyde Park concert? :evil: apparently as they didn't have 'enough room'.

Maybe we should get a petition together or bombard Harvey Goldsmith to get him on the bill?? ;)

what paper was that in pixie??

The Daily Mirror believe it or not Ben! :D (p.7)

sounds like madness to me!!!

They Turned down Meat Loaf....They F****n turned down Meat Loaf.... :evil: are they f****n crazy!!! :evil:

Easy SLM easy think bout your heart!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol :lol: I'll begin to calm down now...just cant beleive how they turned him down...they are f****n mad!! :evil:

They will fetch those B*****d Spice Girls back though wont they...they couldnt frelling couldnt sing live if there life depended on it :twisted:

Ok...calm

*Counts back from 100 - 1*

Steady Ross :D (*Pixie hugs Ross to calm him down*)


It would have been a great date for him (2nd July) and if they're going to have a proper rock concert, I don't see how he can be refused in favour of some of those going, but Status Quo were refused and the organisers overwhelmed by support and have now promised to include them......

Thanks Pixie ;)

Lets get up a petition like you said Pixie and lets get the organisors to get Meat included! :D

Hi Ross


Am trying to get information about where to send requests/contact the organisers for this..bear with me and I'll get back to this post a.s.a.p. :lol:

Hey you guys they already turned him down knowing how he 'can' react (I would) he would'nt be there even when they got on they're .............

Cool :D

Here's the link to the Mirror article if anyone wants to read it:-

Thanks SL :D

I wish they would spell his bloody name right....it is Meat Loaf not Meatloaf :evil:

Thanks for the link SapphireLady ;) :D

If anyone wants to lobby for Meat to be included the gig official site is

www.live8live.com

My email's there this morning! :D Good luck ;)

Umm, isn't Meat already playing a gig on the 2nd July? Another one with Quo in Ireland?


Yes he is.

And since he's not supposed to do a show over 1hr 45mins I very much doubt that he'd be allowed to do TWO shows in one day in different parts of the country!

Good point! Although I suppose if invited Live8 would be most artists' priority. However I'm sure Meat wouldn't want to let the Irish crowd down....:lol: so it's probably a good thing he's not on the bill...;)

I personally feel that live8 might turn out a little disappointing anyway since there has been so little preparation time for everybody. I doubt it will have the same impact as live aid had in 85.

I'm looking at Live 8 now.in Holland on TV well , it sure doesn't have the impact as it did in...? well I still am missing the most importent man for me on the world

Meat..after Hamburg MISS YOU

Ross Language mate - I'll have to sort you out :shock:

Can till you're mums not around

Thought it was a charity concert. I do believe that the more great artists will play, the better that is. It is a shame for live 8!!

Geldof and that weird guy from the Libertines were awful.

Why on earth didn't they have Meat. There's an establishemnt in this Country even at pop level - if you're not in it - youre out.

All the established acts have been pretty good so far. Meat would have been a great addition.

Personally I'm glad he's saving his voice for Harewood in God's own County of Yorkshire!

Mike

Because he's already doing a concert in Ireland today!!

If the concert in Ireland today is as packed out as the one on the 18th of June I'm sure the thousands of fans that turned up at the venue would be really impressed if Meat didn't show up just to do one or two songs in Hyde park!

However, it IS a shame that there won't be any kind of link up between Meat's show and the Live 8 show ie in between acts at Hyde park they could show video footage of Meat at his show that way everyones happy.

But I personally don't think that Meat not appearing on Live 8 is that big a deal. The exposure would've been nice but only doing a song or two would've been a waste of having Meat there in the first place.

Umm, I'll shut up and go now I think! :oops:

Aware of the show but an early listing at Live 8 would have allowed his performance in Ireland. U2 are in Austria after their L8 numbers.
