I have been a fan of Meat's for over 30 years. I see being a fan as supporting him, buying his albums and going to concerts when I can. Yeah he is not perfect and does occasionally miss a note or forget the words at his shows, but I don't notice any of these things. I get caught up in the moment and just enjoy the experience of being at a Meat Loaf concert. I hate people who say we are arse kissers or sucking up just because we don't criticise him or find fault with every little thing he does. If you don't like a concert, fine. You can't please everyone all the time, but there is a way to say that you didn't like it and why without being rude. Like Caryl said, just saying it sucks is both abrasive and disrespectful. Meat has feelings, and is his own harshest critic and anything constructive he takes on board. Like a few others have said, there are other artists that I like, but they are not in the same league as Meat is. That magnificent voice of his had me hooked right from the very start and I don't think there is any other singer like him or ever will be.
