To be fair thats not exactly true.
Meat said publicly & on here that he likes HIAHB and thinks its a good album he was incredibly active on here while making it constantly saying how happy he was both making it and with how it sounded.
To say that he didnt use any songs from it in the tour because he didn't like the album is overlooking the blatantly obvious elephant in the room.
The tour that came after the release of HIAHB was Last at Bat his farewell tour where half of the show was given over to playing Bat in full & the other half to his hits & fan favourites. Simple fact is that its more likely that with how new the album was at the start of LAB tour none of the songs from it had been around long enough that if he had used any it would not have upset his long standing fans that he removed well loved pieces like DR etc to replace them with something new & untried live.
