Maybe someone else has a better recollection?

Mine isn't that he made any negative comments at all .. I was doing the crossword at the time Clarkson introduced him saying something about him touring with Meat Loaf in Germany which got my attention so I looked up at the screen. Clarkson was pulling a face, so had clearly said something unflattering about Meat or Germany or both I supposed .. let's face it we are talking about someone who routinely refers to the French as "cheese-eating surrender monkeys" aren't we? ..
But Justin Hawkins just smiled a bit vacuously and said yes, he'd toured with him .. which I didn't take as him necessarily agreeing with whatever Clarkson had said, but rather wasn't going to take him on right at the opening of the interview .. then said it was good (touring with Meat) and Meat had said to treat him like his dad, Clarkson pulled one of his faces for the camera and they moved on. My impression was that far from siding with any negative view (and let's face it Clarkson adopts negative views for humorous effect) Justin was trying to express something about Meat being a nice guy .. and I can see Meat saying something like that :)
Darkness toured with him in the UK too didn't they? I remember at one concert Meat stood in the wings while they were playing, clearly appreciating their performance and applauding them at the end of the number
