Meat on BBC Breakfast Show This Morning

[ThatWriterGuy]

You'll be glad to know that Meat's looking and sounding a hell of a lot better today -- really enjoyed watching this one.

Here it is if you missed it:

He looked a lot better!
I was quite relieved about that.

Although I have been concerned about his health over the last couple of days the stuff he has actually said during the interviews was very interesting and revealing.

I personally hope Meat can resist some of the temptation / forces trying to drag him back to the stage in the mean time, have some rest after promo, kick back, enjoy his birthday and the upcoming holiday season with his family.

So far Braver seems a much bigger success going by the quality of the final product, its beautiful cover and the very good indicative album sales at the moment than I ever dared dream it would be several years ago.

Well done Meat & congratulations once again! Wish you all the success.

I'm actually starting to tempt fate on this one, how high can Meat chart this week? He's number 1 on Tesco and Amazon, and we know that most people buy online these days not in stores, so I do really wondor if he could chart very very high indeed!!!!........

[ashkent7]

We will accept nothing short of Number 1 - Meat wouldn't.

[AndrewG]

I didn't dare dream a top 5 album position but could he really do number 1.... Oh my...
We find out Friday I believe.

[ashkent7]

Well not to put down any of these but at the moment the top ten comprises of

Barbara Streisand
Britney Spears
Frank Ocean
Dolly Parton
Twenty One Pilots
Bob Marley & The Wailers (!!!!)
Rick Astley
Drake
Coldplay
Biffy Clyro

I'm not being funny but I've seen very little promo for Dolly or Barbara...or Britney come to that...and how Bob Marley has found himself back in there is just the wonderful world of digital music...For me, Meat can beat them hands down.

... oh wait, I might be confused with Friends. Mtt LeBlanc played Joey who played a Drake Ramone in a soap series in that show.

So i guess Drake is Joey

[AndrewG]

Wasn't Drake the one who got a lapdance from Nicki Minaj in one of her videos which features tits, ass and atrocious music? No idea how I know this.

I may spend some time tonight searching for this.

Ok i will explain a little lol, prepare to be bored lol,

All pre order sales go towards the first week sales tally, add on to that what else an album sells during the week. So thats why the first week sales are always highest.
Meat has done really well, infact Braver is raising a few eyebrows indeed.
The current top 10 is not what Meat needs to beat, its really what albums come out with hes, so from friday we have the Beatles, Bastille, nick cave and the bad seeds.
All of the above are doing well on pre orders, Bastille had a huge dubut album 2 years ago, so they are favourites BUT!!! They have gone from clear favourites to favourites. Nick cave has done really good on pre orders, and the Beatles are well the Beatles. I do think we could have a little battle for the top spot. I would expect Meat to cruise into the top 3 at the very least. Its all down to who gets the shop buyers during the week, the casuals fans or buyers.

On a personal level, there is something starting to happen with this album.
Its hard to say exactly but i reckon a few of you guys are feeling it to, this album could have legs.

Wise words

[stretch37]

Andrew apparently we weren't the only ones feeling concerned. We're not crazy.

Meat Loaf's radio appearance leaves fans concerned and asking "is he ok?"

Obviously just his pinched nerve making it difficult to walk, but he looks like he is in a hell of a lot of pain - just as he has explained in the interviews.

Good thing that's all it is. But still, hard seeing him suffer. He's a trooper

Yeah that article is mentioned somewhere else too.
This week will be tough on Meat with the amounts of promo. Hopefully they can sort his back once the promo is all done and rest up.

If there is one time Meat and Jim deserve another album to go to #1 in the official album charts, it is now. It would be the fitting reward for a very special conclusion.

Trust me, you weren't the only ones.

You've got me even more excited now mate saying that! Yes I do feel like something is happening, and it's hard to say exactly why as well. Perhaps people are fedup with the same old music being released week in week out and are looking for something a bit more creative? Something different? Maybe it's because people are more excited that Jim is back? Either way it's very exciting.

Please can you keep us up to date on how things are going through the next week as I'm dying to know!

Got a link?

It's just the Anaconda video it seems:

It's not worth embedding here.

Holy crap the music is even worse than I remembered it being. The ending is just ridiculous. Worth just putting it on mute.

She probably makes quite a bit of money from the video views. I really can't see why anyone would buy or play the song itself.
I must be just getting old I guess.
