Meat Loaf Announcement Will Dissapoint Fans ... - Page 3

It's a two edged sword imo, it's great news!! Another chance to see Meat, although I could see this happening a mile away. But I hope he does not over do it, a few shows here and there would be best imo, keep him fresh for each show. He puts so much into every show. But great news

Meats concerts are like plays orca movie to go back would be a needless anticlimactic after credits scene.

Actually Wario, I think he made that response to prevent more complaints.

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't tour the UK again. Perhaps a few loose shows as he mentioned a while back.

We did have a great tour in 2013. So if Meat decides to play overseas I think it would be great if he skipped the 2013 places and headed for the Scandinavian countries and some eastern Europe countries. Lots of great fans there that couldn't attend the shows in the UK or Germany. I wish they can say goodbye to Meat in the same way the people in the Netherlands got to in 2013.

Tacky simile imo. Meat was limping .. and as he has not had surgery on his foot I expect he will be limping still .. but delivering with undiminished passion and an energy that would put many younger artists to shame. My choice would be to get to a show and see the whole performance rather than worry about him limping.

Meat's shows are an evening of spectacular musical entertainment, and each song like a scene from a play. I don't recall Olivier thinking he had to throw in the towel after playing Hamlet.

Orca lasted one movie

You guys got a kickass your and kickass setlist

It couldn't be replicated and won't this fall. What the LAB tour was magical and a good end to the out of country tours.

Him coming back just cause people complained is terrible.

I was just so fed up seeing the posts asking to go back to the UK

If he comes back good for everyone! But anything he does will just feel anticlimactic unless there's a DVD recorded

CarylB · 14 Sep 2015, 02:31

Warrio, it won't be replicated this autumn in the USA because he's not doing LAB .. but he's said he will be doing it next summer for 4 months. The setlist CAN be replicated .. it's a selection as an introduction followed by BOOH in its entirety .. nothing there than can't be replicated. The atmosphere of course is up to the fans who go.

You can read Meat's mind, so you know he is only coming back because people "complained"? (Most, the vast majority, did not btw .. most of those 3.5K posts said Thank you for all the years .. but please come back again if you can.) You're sick of fans in the UK asking him to come back? I don't complain about Americans asking him to come to every state and city in the USA .. it's what fans DO for f sake.

And it may feel an anti-climax to you .. but that doesn't mean it will be for most of us .. just as R&C wasn't an anti-climax when we travelled to Vegas. So I'm sorry that should Meat give you Last at Bat next year on an "in country tour", and then decide to do another one afterwards you will be disappointed, think Meat makes poor decisions, and presumably not attend .. but allow others to get excited here now .. and should that happen in the USA I'm sure a lot will be so there too!

PS These "out of country" islands have followed him steadily throughout his career .. He never had to make a "comeback" here .. and will always be welcome. This is btw the UK fan forum

I think it's a matter of opinion as to whether any new UK show will feel like an anti-climax after Last At Bat and I believe that many people will just be delighted to have another chance to see Meat Loaf again.

I don't necessarily believe that these shows will change how many people felt about Last at Bat, I don't think Last at Bat will affect people's enjoyment of the new show any more than Last at Bat was influenced by the Hang Cool shows.

I laughed WAAAAAAY HARDER than I should have at that

Speaking of the US fall shows, I'm finding it hard to imagine what's coming? Meat has already said on FB that he won't be debuting Braver songs on this run. If it was a touring version of the Vegas show I suppose it would be billed as such, likewise if it was LAB.

LAB would have been a good choice I would have thought if it was a longer run. The video presentation is already there to go, it's guaranteed to sell well and Meat has repeatedly expressed interest in doing that show in the US. If there is indeed a Braver tour next year, you'd be looking at 2017 for US LAB at the earliest, which seems a stretch.

I'm imagining these shows will be along the lines of Casa De Carne. Hits and covers. Other than a straight Greatest Hits set (in which case he may as well just do LAB!) I can't imagine what else it could be.

CarylB · 15 Sep 2015, 00:20

He has already said the big tour next summer in the US/Canada will be their Last at Bat .. so it will be the good choice then. I tend to see the short run in autumn as a means of getting back on stage again after his surgeries, which prevented him from doing the long summer run he had initially planned for this year, getting the band together and getting his stage mojo tuned up again

And it is something for all those fans who were expecting a farewell tour this year in the USA

It wouldn't surprise me if they are more along the line of the 'Races' shows he did after LAB in the UK. In a month we will all know for sure though
