Are you sure you weren't hearing the Phoenix Nights DVD where Young Kenny performs 'Bat' on Stars in Their Eyes?

If anyone recalls VH1's 100 greatest men in music Meat came in at number 26 and the Red Hot Chilli Peppers were praising him, saying how his live performances are amazing so he's got more celebrity fans there.

These are two really interesting points. I am not surprised that Meat is held in high regard amongst other artists - I'm sure they recognise what a hard-worker he is, and how he's managed to battle for nearly thirty years with a relatively heavy 'unfashionable' tag on his head. I'm sure a lot of performers have a healthy deal of respect for Meat. Personally, I love Meat's out-look on life (at least, that which he portrays in public). By this I mean him saying that 'success' is giving everything you've got to give, and also the way he seesm t o appreciate that the his fans are the people that keep him in his job, and I think he looks after his fans and listens to what they say. Just my opinion - the way I interpret certain things he's said.
