The Remastered was aired on March 13, 2010.

oh ... okay ... i wonder if when Meat asked what VH1 said if he thought something was said about the new album ? ... why is the discussion about something from past ???... and what happened to the positivity ? ... talking something negative from past show doesn't seem positive to me ...

This all began on page 1. It was just something brought up to solidify a point about support and love. Others commented along the way to say they stood by Meat too....Meat asked the question what was said. And, no it wasn't about the new release, but it was positive in spirit, reflecting that we are positively supporting him, all the way. Then and now. It was just a point of reference and an example...nothing more.

no... the first VH1 reference was on page 3 ... i'm nearly ... ummm... POSitive ...

... imo ... it brought negative reference into the conversation that wasn't necessary ... you were all doing swell ...

suzieq · 09 Apr 2010, 05:01

Well, I'll go on the record to say it was me who brought VH1 up on the last post on page 1. But if you won't let me take the blame, I can't help that. LOL. But to the thread and Meat, if it had generated any negativity during this exciting time, I apologize deeply.

Let's walk away together and start up the praisin' again. I'm very happy that .net has made a leap forward and I spy a little tour box with a little date to watch for. May 1!!!!

here's some postive stuff imo. the vh1 remastered, I love it. it did include Bat 3 and HCTB at the end. I just look at .net and WOW, the way it looks now is really cool. Can't wait for May to see tour dates. REALLY EXCITED NOW. Can't wait to see what kind of stage show HCTB is going to be. imagination running wild now. maybe the red suit with the pink bunny slippers???? lol

If he sings it with the same joy that was on his face when we heard it at the London listening event then it could well be one of the highlights of the show. With so many good songs to choose from though, it's going to be a tough call choosing which ones to add to the set list and which ones to leave out.

TheDoode · 09 Apr 2010, 14:25

How cool would it be if, just for this tour, Meat performed the entire album with NO past tracks. No AFL, no Paradise, no Bat...

Doode.

It'd be interesting certainly, but I'm pretty sure he's already ruled out performing the album in it's entirety.

TheDoode · 09 Apr 2010, 14:31

Haha, I know, realistically it'd be such a long shot, too.
But just thinking of it gave me a gig-boner, so I'm pretty happy all round.

Not very. A good portion of the audience would come away disappointed.

TheDoode · 09 Apr 2010, 14:41

Ah, Evil One, you make me grin.

**allrevvedup** · 09 Apr 2010, 14:52

didn't he say the record company wanted him to do that but he refused?

Really? I never heard that one.

Iron Maiden did it with A Matter of Life and Death, advertised it as such (so there was no disapointment to the folks who expected Number of the Beast and The Trooper......again) and it was a phenomenal success.

But, as I said, it's massive risk of 'will anyone turn up'.

Evil One · 09 Apr 2010, 15:02

Plus you're assuming that all the songs will work as a live performance.

Yes, in a Tweet he said they'd suggested it .. but by the next day they'd thought better of the idea .. and he seemed relieved

(Didn't he say something like he thought it would kill him?) I got the feeling he might have planted a few seeds of doubt for them to mull over when they first suggested it

I'd love the concept .. but can see it would be a huge undertaking, plus I agree that many of the thousands who pack into the arenas wouldn't be as favourably disposed as some of us here. One of the main objectives of a tour would be to sell the new album, and showcasing tracks to create the desire to buy. But many fans will buy their tickets to hear again the songs they already know and love to see performed live: they're the songs that get the audience to its feet roaring and cheering, and I believe Meat knows that very well and it informs his set decisions every tour.

But leaving aside the expectations of his fanbase as a whole, the logistics, the huge amount of planning and rehearsal that would be required, plus the energy and effort from everyone on stage .. Yes, it would be a marvellous dream show

hey ... maybe someday as a movie ... Who's Tommy was made into a movie ... someday... Hang Cool Teddy Bear: The Movie ? ...

directed by Tim Burton ...

starring... whazziz name ... Depp ? ...

lol ...

i dream big when i dream ... lol ..

**allrevvedup** · 09 Apr 2010, 15:21

i've known of artists who have played an entire album all the way through in a show. Aerosmith tried it with toys in the attic last year, before Steven Tyler's fall from the stage.

Bryan Adams played the entire Reckless album all the way through in a show which fell on the 25th Anniversary of the album (I think it was in London)

It's not uncommon for it to happen but when an act has been around for so long, the normal fans (as such) come for the "hits" and tolerate songs from the new album.

With that said I like to see a full performance of the album live. it'd be very interesting to see how it'd work out live.

I think if anyone could make all of them work it would be Meat with his imagnation and dramatic flair, and it would be a fantastic and wild piece of drama played out on the stage .. but you're right in saying it wouldn't meet the expectations of his main fanbase.

If he were to do it as a showcase at a few selected venues I'd be there like a shot .. but the costs (both financial and in effort) involved for a few shows would be prohibitive imo ..

According to a German music magazine, Meat has already thought of that idea and allegedly talked to several people about it.

TheDoode · 09 Apr 2010, 15:26

Again... Iron Maiden. A Matter of Life and Death. Tour. Success. Etcetera.

I'm not saying I think Meat should do that, but I know I'd like to see it.

And on the subject of change... if it wasn't for shaking things up and trusting in a new direction, this record wouldn't exist, and we'd still be on the path of 'what fans expect to hear'. Ballady ballady ballad.
