Subject: Throat
Just to let you know , some of my throat has headled from the burn and fungus, but the lower left vocal chord is still showing siigns of the burn and is.still . not responding. The top half is working, these are very small muscle bands were talking about. THe Right side is perfect try to control just one side for most of the show. BUT The bottom half of the left is frozen it's not moving when I sing. which then weakeans the top half of the left one, the more I sing. the weaker it gets like tonight. WE are trying I mean everything, it may never come back. But I have heard very good board tapes 85 to 90% very good ,the Cleveland taPE WAS AROUND 85% >Detroit tomorrow is my fourth show in 5 days scared about that one!!!!! , tonites show started as goog as any every and my voice just gave out about half way thru AFL, Finished and it was wery passiable, paradise alls good that just works, So if any of you bought tickets to shows in europe and you don't want to take the risk to here and 80% from me I will refund them , don't worry they will sell. It's a good show in 2 Acts with vidieos and a few other fun things.. I read were some people were talking about the vocals in cleveland, but the were a lot better than 1996. THe band and myslef thought the tape was pretty darn good.. So if people want to return tickets to I will pay you back and sell me.

Other There are meet and Greets just not every nigh if we do do it every night only4 to 6 people would get passes for 2 hours brfore the show, we can't have large crowd for the every nitet I'm just to wet I"m them every night. I'm just too weak at the momment. Gobavk to the voice Dr on the 16 of Oct for a check up but he is talking months, But I got to tell you some some of the songs are Great, better than last tour in 99 .I know have my dream, Ihave the best bad in the world. U5 eat your heart out, Mr spring is close but we just beat him to the tape

I'm Giving the UK fan Club this and it for your ears only and the people here on this board, donot pass this impormation on or tell anyone. and I don't think you want to give back you tickets it's a great show.
LOVE MEAT

Ah, Meat! I'm SO sorry to hear about the throat problems!! I'm sure people will NOT want to give back the tickets. There is so much more to your shows than just the songs!!

It was a pleasure and a privilege for me to go to the four shows out west that you were able to do!! And I wouldn't have given up that experience for anything!!

You take good care of yourself and try, if you can, to do what the doctor tells you to do!! We all want you to be WELL!!! And if that means NOT singing as many concerts as you intended, then everyone will understand!!

YOU come first to us!! YOU have ALWAYS come first to us!!!

Have a very Happy and HEALTHY Birthday and year ahead!!

With much love,
MB

Hi Meat

.
Good to see you.
Have a great birthday and take care of that amazing voice.
You wanna buy these tickets back?NO WAY?

See you at Wembley

mariella · 27 Sep 2003, 12:38

Thank you for the update. Sorry to hear about this. Please know we will LOVE the show!

Love you...but you cannot have my tickets! They are 'priceless'!

Your energy is 'as real as it can possibly get'. That is Why I visit your shows!

Take care and have a fantastic birthday!

See you soon!

Mariella

ChrisBelfast · 27 Sep 2003, 12:55

Great to hear from you Meat, happy Birthday and stop worrying about comments on your vocals. I remember the last few times in Europe ive seen you in an Arena, the crowd have been so loud and their mind has been taken of the vocals by you acting the song thats believe it or not the vocals are un noticed. Not everyone will be at a concert making notes on how you sound.

The NZ live tracks i cant wait for..thatll give us an indication..and the mexico concert if it is released in any form. Hopefully you'll still go ahead with the Top of the Pops Meat Loaf Special too!!!

Take care whatever you decide!

PanicLord · 27 Sep 2003, 14:03

Meat - I am so sorry to hear about your throat.

Do not worry, we will not take this away from the forum.

But buy my tickets back??? NO WAY!

Concentrate on getting better - if you have to take extra days off, take them off! We have so many happy memories already and beautiful albums and videos that we'll allow you to take some time off to recover :)

Don't do ANYTHING that stops you from making a full recovery!

Please take care (at least if you are resting you won't be able to fall off stages etc!

)

Love and best wishes,

TRex.

Dick · 27 Sep 2003, 14:17

aww meat, bad news. im sure you'll pull through, you allways do. Just take it easy and it will be fine. As chris says people wont be making notes on your vocals.

Take Care,
Richard

hope your throat gets better Meat. We love ya take care best wishes to you ,the band ,also your family Carolxxx.

CarylB · 27 Sep 2003, 14:53

I know you always strive to reach a standard you have in your head, which would be beyond most performers, and understand how frustrating it must be when in your eyes you don't feel you can deliver it. I truly hope your chords continue to heal.

But know one thing .. I, like so many, many of your fans, will be there to experience the magic that is your performance, that is you. If halfway through you said "I think I'm gonna have to just sit and chat with you for the next hour" I'd still consider it an honour to have shared the evening with you. There will be great vocals .. but more importantly there will be unforgettable theatre and wonderful entertainment from the master!!

Happy Birthday to one who is simply the best, whatever, whenever. May your star never falter and may you stay forever young :) xoxo

Eva · 27 Sep 2003, 15:10

Hey Meat--HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
So sorry to hear about the throat problems, however, I saw you at the Kansas State Fair in Hutch. To tell the truth it was the best concert I have ever been to! No one said anything about the voice except that you put on a great show!
Have fun in Europe--I am sure no one will sell back their tickets!! You must be Kidding!!
We love you--Keep on rockin

Happy Birthday Meat.

I'm so sorry to hear about your throat problems, and I wish you a full recovery soon. I was lucky enough to see you at both The Mohegan Sun and The Borgata this year, and they were the best shows I've ever seen.
Hopefully I'll get to see you again when you come back to the states next year ... but if not, I can't thank you enough for those two nights I'll never forget.

Please take care of yourself ... and enjoy your special night tonight.
Good luck with your doctor's visit, and don't worry -- we're always here to support you, no matter what :)

Love you always
Vicki

Dear Meat,

I wish you a happy birthday ! Have a very nice day !

I'm so sorry to hear about your throat problems, I wish you a full healing soon.

Kitty Kat · 27 Sep 2003, 20:27

Sorry to hear about your throat problems. I am sure if you take it easy everything will work out OK.

As for giving my tickets back - I would rather stick pins in my eyes. I am looking forward to the concert in Manchester UK on 17 December 2003. I am sure it will be a great night and you will manage all the old ones in great style - as always.

Happy birthday - I will drink to your health tonight (probably more than once)

Be happy

Is this Meat giving his European fans an excuse in advance for the cancellation of some of the European gigs? I hope not.
