It's working! Keep pressing refresh and look at the bottom of the page.

So far:

Maine: Come back to Maine! Two of my personal favorites are more recent songs: "Rock and roll dreams come through" and "Amnesty is Granted." What are some of the unexpected songs we might hear on this tour?

Meat Loaf: There's lots. There's new songs that there's two and maybe three new songs that will be on the next album. I always like to bring surprises in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Knoxville, TN: You were my favorite character in Fight Club! Do you have any more movies coming out soon?

Meat Loaf: I've got a whole bunch coming out. I've got a movie called 'Blood Reign' which is a video game, that I shot in October. Going to imdb.com and search on my name and you'll see.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boise Idaho: I was wondering if you were going to be able to come to Idaho and make up the concert you had to cancel due to illness.

Meat Loaf: I don't remember canceling Idaho, but if I did, I'm sorry!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alexandria, VA: How did you get the name Meat Loaf?

Meat Loaf: My dad started calling me Meat when I was 9 months old. Could have been the first word I said.

Kansas City, KS.: We love you, can you come to the MidWest?

Meat Loaf: We love them too and I would love to.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Comment from Meat Loaf: To buy tickets to my show, go to AOL and you can buy tickets starting today.

Sandpoint, Idaho: Hey Meat, I got the wonderful experience of seeing you perform back in the early 90's in a small club venue of about 300 odd people in Montreal just off the lake. It was a true/personal close interaction show and so much warmer for fans then arena-style rock. How do you view these types of venues in what you get as an artist?

Meat Loaf: That one in particular was normally a country western bar and it had wagon wheels on the stage.

I don't know how I feel about those venues; if the audience is happy it doesn't make a difference. If there's people to play for, you play for them.

I think it was bigger than 300, though.

Spokane, Washington: Hello Meat! Can you give any insight to us about your experiences in 1975's Rocky Horror Picture Show and what it did for your career boom afterwards? Keep in touch with any of that film's stars?

Meat Loaf: The experience was fantastic. I did the play and the movie and I made great friendships. Lou Adler, who was the producer of the play and movie, allowed me to put videos. We had videos in '77 and he let me put 'Paradise' as a trailer in all the movies, so that was a huge boost for me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Towanda, Pennsylvania: Hi there, just curious.....is there any signifigance or story to the song "Took The Words Right Outta My Mouth" Always thought it was among your best. Same quetsion for "2 outta 3" if you have time to answer. Thanks for the awesome work!

Meat Loaf: The significance is whatever the person who is listening to it, it's for the person to explore and create their visions from it.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Powells Point, NC: Hello Mr. Aday! My name is Chuck Robertson, and I don't have a question but I would like to say this. You and your family and band have been through a lot of hard times. Times that most folks wouldn't endure in a few life times. I admire you all because you just don't give up and you keep trying. I personally think that you all are under rated. My hat goes off to you and I wish all of you the best of luck in your upcoming tour! Just don't break a leg "laffin". Seriously, thank you for your songs and music. Sincerely, Chuck

Meat Loaf: Thank you very much, every family goes through hard times and if your family is going through hard times it'll be over soon.

Wahiawa, Hi.: Is it true that you will be releasing the Bat Out of Hell 3? If so when, and will it be as good as the first two?

Meat Loaf: Yes. I don't know when. Will it be as good? It won't come out until it's as good as we can make it! Whether it's as good is up to you!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Phoenix, Arizona: I know your a big fantasy sports fan and was wondering who you think is going to be more valuable this season ... Randy Johnson or Curt Schilling?

Meat Loaf: I'm not a starting pitchers person, but of those two, can't go wrong with either one.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Grand Rapids, MI.: I saw the last tour and loved the "visual- effects" on the opening number Do It. Is there anything like that planned for this tour? -Brian Borbot

Meat Loaf: I have no idea what we're doing right now, we're in the process of doing all kinds of things.

West Lafayette, IN: Hey Meat! I have been a big fan of yours since I heard I'd Do Anything for Love (But I Won't Do That) in 1993. I have all of your albums except one. I was just wondering if you could possibly come to someplace in Indiana. I want to come see you and I know it would totally ROCK!! Thanks Meat

Meat Loaf: I'm trying to come to Indiana! I would do the song called 'Indiana' but no one remembers it....

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Birdsboro, PA: Did you write your life story in a book, also called Bat Out of Hell?

Meat Loaf: It was called 'To Hell and Back' and was on the NY Times best seller list and you can still get it online through Amazon.

Montreal, QUE: Hello Mr. Aday, :) Just wondering....your smash album "Bat Out Of Hell" is one of the truly great works of art in our time. Obviously, song styles have changed since the 70's but with your style being so distinctive, do you find it difficult to try to write for this day and age or do you think it's better to keep doing music in the same style that's worked so great for you in the past?

Meat Loaf: You never try to write for day and age, I don't see Springsteen or U2 writing for day and age. They're who they are.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parkville, Maryland: Hi Meatloaf, In Stamford, CT in 1979, my father and I coached a Little League Base team with you called the AMF Eagles. We weren't that good but we had a great time and the kids really enjoyed it. People were impressed that you made the time for youth sports even with your hectic schedule. I was wondering if you were still involved in Little League. Andy Smith

Meat Loaf: No I'm not involved anymore. Not in a situation that I can right now but if I could I would in a heartbeat.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tulsa, OK: I saw you in concert almost 10 years ago in Kansas City, MO. You were totally awesome! Three hours by yourself! Well, I guess you did have your band. :) Anyways, any chances of you coming here to Tulsa?

Meat Loaf: There's always a chance of me coming to Tulsa, so be aware Tulsa!

Oak Ridge, New Jersey: Do you still enjoy touring and preforming as much as you did during Bat Out of Hell and what are the differences now?

Meat Loaf: 30 years is the difference!

As long as I'm healthy I enjoy it. But when you get older health becomes an issue and you wear down quicker. That's why football players at the age of 31 are considered ancient mariners. For my show, it's very athletic in its approach so it's harder now.

Arvada, CO: Meatloaf, We met at the Pantages years ago. I was lugging camera equipment around and had a backstage pass. I have a picture of us on my wall. At that time you said that projecting the emotions of each song was the biggest challenge. What I remember was how drained you were at the end of the show (you even had a black eye from a microphone mishap). The performance by the way was great. Do you still reach deep down to convey the emotions and does it every get any easier? Also, how can I get songs to you that I have composed just for you? Thanks Len Arvada CO

Meat Loaf: It never gets any easier, anytime you are doing characters whether it's in film or song and the minute it gets easier you should hang it up, because you no longer care.
