And meatloaf.net is clearly a place that lacks the love and interest it deserves.
If he wasn't so oposed against it, Meat Loaf could get so much more revenue from platforms like YouTube, his website and many more places. It's a shame he refuses to embrace this important media.

I agree in the fact that it shouldn't be so difficult to find a company to run your website for you, especially an established artist like Meat, but I don't think you should just say Meat has no interest in a proper run fan community, he has said he hates the Internet trolls etc etc, but who doesn't? Tell me what celebrity or star does? It's not nice to have shit wrote about you. Look at the focus in the media the last few years about cyber bully's, it's effecting everyday life. The plumber, the baker, the candlestick maker. So I can see why he dislikes that side of it. Keyboard warriors as such, I have received crap like that on here in the past!! So have many others ( including Meat ). Also saying he doesn't understand the value of the Internet? It's a bit insulting imo, again I agree maybe the management team should step up their game.
