I really don't see why. No-one has "slagged" your opinion that I can see. I know I have not, and you quoted my post. I simply, and without "slagging" anyone, posted my view or responded to comments directed at me, none of which offended me. I am sorry that you have chosen to feel offended. I didn't read your post or posts here, was not addressing you, and do not consider I said anything either personally rude or offensive.

I think Jenna has covered your last question. I said I am not sure why, when Meat has made his position clear and has finished touring, we have yet another thread calling for bootlegs on a Meat forum thread .. unless it is yet again to make the point that he doesn't embrace them. When I say "and wanting as a performer" I mean wanting in the sense that he doesn't do what all the other performers who are exampled do.

I am very confused with the attitude that fan videos are evil and should never be seen. The terrible ones with the bad audio and shaky hands absolutely they should be dealt with by the artist however they wish to.
But ones done with obvious respect and care, why some people get so upset over it is astounding. [/QUOTE]
I don't believe I, or indeed anyone here, have/has ever suggested bootlegs were "evil". I think poor ones, and the majority in my view are, should not be on YT. They cannot imo give an accurate refection of the theatrical evening of entertainment Meat has put together, and can attract rude comments which are also both hurtful and annoying to the artist in this case. I do not get "upset", I simply respect Meat's right to take whatever stance he chooses on any bootleg, whether done with care or not, as I think you do. Nor do I think Meat needs to fall in line with any performer who happens to take a different view, particularly at this stage in his career.
If my opinion astounds you I can do little about that. It's my opinion
.. but I believe delivered in a way that falls in line with the request at the top of every page. I do think much of this debate falls in line with "Other Rock and Roll Heroes" more than it does the "Everything related to Meat Loaf" though
