Don't go for only teenagers, go for the 20 odd too...!!!

Asha

bambi · 11 Jul 2003, 18:31

yea but the younger the fans go the more fans in the future

Asha · 12 Jul 2003, 01:24

I hope to be around for a long time still!

And 20 odd mostly have more spending power then teens..

Anyway, the more the merrier, is all I say

asha

Em · 12 Jul 2003, 03:48

I'm 8 years younger than Meat and been a fan for over 20 years.

Nice to see that his music appeals to such a wide age range.

bambi · 12 Jul 2003, 13:06

hey we can spend just as much as u can

JJ · 14 Jul 2003, 14:37

Well mr JJ (43) and I (41) took our son (17) and his girlfriend (16) to see Meat in Plymouth....hows'a that? My daughter (14) also likes him, but didn't want to go see him (silly girl!) Think she still working on a bit more!

Incidentally....ok......so I know they're not on this site, but I have friends who are also lifelong meat fans have have seen him in concert in the past, she is 42...and....wait for it......he is 51 !! (there..feel any better now?

) and their daughter is also a mad fan at 14 !! So the fans of the future are out there, of that there's no doubt....keep spreading the gospel according to Meat!!!!!

Rob The Badger · 14 Jul 2003, 17:07

Testify · 14 Jul 2003, 18:11

hahahaha!! :P

meatfan · 14 Jul 2003, 23:36

WELL! I am still the eldest BAT at 56! Unless a challenger appears!

I thin we also have the YOUNGEST BAT in our family - my Grandson Benjamin who was 4 years old in April!

He comes in from nursery and wants "bat out of hell" on. No matter how often we tell him he's Meat Loaf, Benjamin calls him "bat out of hell!

His favourite video is "Bad Attitude". I bought him his own copy for his 4th birthday, but his dad (my son Brian, 33, also a BAT took it off him as Meat swears "F*** Y** on the video and Benjamin copied him)!

Shame on daddy - he added it to HIS collection!

So there you are - the OLDEST BAT and the YOUNGEST BAT - unless you know different.....

I've been teaching my nephew Connor (2 yrs old) the gospel according to Bat

.
It was funny because when he'd cry,John (my brother) would hold him and try and calm him down,then Annie (My sister in law) would try,then my mum would take him,then my dad would take him but he'd still be crying

.
I'd walk over,give him the Meat Loaf face and shout LIKE A BAT OUT OF HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL and he'd stop cryin straight away and grin

.
Connor also loves it when I headbang and play air guitar

.
It drives John crazy

.

Evan · 15 Jul 2003, 01:28

I'm 22. I first became acquainted with Meat Loaf through The Rocky Horror Show. Then I remember seeing the VH1 movie "Meat Loaf To Hell And Back" and hearing the clips of songs they played as W. Earl Brown lip sang. I thougt they were the most bizarre songs I had ever heard before but I loved having that feeling. After buying "Bat" I immediately became hooked on the works of James Richard Steinman and after getting to know Jimmy pretty well through the years, now I know why I thought the "Bat" songs were so bizarre when I first heard them. "If you don't go over the top how are you supposed to see what's on the other side?" -Jim Steinman. On my list of the top male vocalists of all time Meat would be right up there along with Freddie Mercury, Luciano Pavirotti, Roy Orbison, and of course Elvis Presley. I love Meat!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Evan - I also love Pavarotti and Roy Orbison.

I ran away from home to Londo at 16 as my mother used to beat the living daylights out of me! All I took were my Roy Orbison LP's. In 1970 I started writing to him and his new wife Barbara. This led to Roy Kelton Orbison 11 (Roy and Barbara's first son) staying with us for 2 days in 1990. Got it all on video, and lots of photo's.

Funnily enough, it was Meat who knocked Roy off my top spot - for a while - when I discovered Meat just last March! Now they are equal for different reasons and I love them both. And Andrea Bocelli and Medwyn Goodall (exceptional new-age musician).

Nice to see we Meat fans whatever our ages love other exceptional voices!

Heather.

Rob The Badger · 15 Jul 2003, 21:58

Andrea Boccelli. Is he blind? Everytime I see him his eyes are closed. . .
But what a voice. . .
Morrissey tops my list of fav vocalists.

meatfan · 15 Jul 2003, 22:14

Yes Eyeore - Andrea is blind. I have his autobiography. Saw him live at one of only two concerts in UK last year - MAGIC!

Roy Orbison, however, was NOT blind, although his eyesight was poor.

What a concert THAT would be - Andrea Bocelli, Roy Orbison and Meat Loaf! Roy and Meat would attract youngsters through to old BAT's like me.....

Heather

Evan · 15 Jul 2003, 22:18

Yeah I can't believe I forgot Morrissey, "Everyday Is Like Sunday" and "Sing Your Life" are some of my favorite of his vocal performances. I love his new song "The First Of The Gang To Die" it's very catchy.

Chris · 15 Jul 2003, 23:39

I also am a huge fan of Roy and Freddie.

Although, one of my favourite songs is from a musical. in We Will Rock You, the gang all stand around and say "We remember the ones who died young...."

They then list all the great but sadly missed stars such as Freddie, Janis Joplin, Buddy etc etc before singing Only The Good Die Young. The audience was nearly in tears when I went to see it.

Rob The Badger · 16 Jul 2003, 09:52

Kirsty Macoll, Mercury, Lennon, Harrison, Hendrix. They all died too soon.

And Morrissey's best performance is (IMHO) on "I Know It's Over". And what a song.
He's also a lyrical genius. He's outwritten Steinman lyrically on a number of occasions.

Wild_Honey · 16 Jul 2003, 14:56

"Only the GOOD die young

"

bambi · 16 Jul 2003, 18:10

i luv that song :P

even if it has a sad meaning

heat · 17 Jul 2003, 16:59

well..completely missed this topic

Im 25, been into meat since i was 13/14 or so. Although i'm 25, i do usually tell people im 24, as that was a good year for me, so i'm sticking with it...

As for the youngest meat fans - i do believe that my twins are the youngest, at 9 months - correct me if im wrong though. :P They have always listened to meat - with a mother like me, they stood no chance

I was 4 months pregnant with them when i went to my first meat concert, last year, and they were born to BOOH, so they had a good start. They both love Objects - it quietens them down when they are grizzly...there has been many a night when i've thanked god for Meat, i can tell ya...

I'm not sure it's about intestinal fortitude .. more that it concerns those young enough to be seeking to acquire it and is not something those who have acquired it choose to dwell on :)

They say you're as old as the man you're feeling .. and I'm as old as the man I felt after his concert in Clearwater last December :) ... and it's nice to have range
