Personally I am sick of coming here and reading such outrageous and wrong facts, if you know the accusation to be a bare fact then fine I can accept that but to just accuse really annoys me.

Emma, chill out...

i haven't seen the interview so i don't know whether he was drunk or not, but at the same time if someone thinks he was drunk so be it, it's not that outrageous.

if meat decided to have a drink to relax more so be it, he was probably doing a ton of radio, press and tv interviews anyway that which would tire anyone out.

The style of ryan confidential is something that looks beyond the basic questions and answers, and goes for a bit more depth

like I said before my brother thought he was drunk but I thought he was his usual self and maybe he did have a little drink to loosen up before being questioned but it doesn't really matter he didn't do anything outrageous or make a fool of himself

djfierce · 15 Sep 2008, 00:30

lmao like we couldnt see this convo going like this...to be absolutely fair Em, it's alot down to perception when you dont know the fact...i dont think he looked drunk, but then i dont think he looked exactly on the ball.
I personally am not bothered either way, that clip was bloody boring whether he was drunk or not imo, but then i have come to expect extremes with Meat

bottom line is....no-one but Meat (and Ryan i guess) know the facts so nobody here can claim which is true, we can just speculate and argue and insult each other which will entertain us no end i'm sure

MeatGrl1 · 15 Sep 2008, 00:38

I did not mean to cause upset just it annoys me that without solid proof it is unfair and unjust to throw accusations like that. Not saying that he hasn't had a drink mabe he has but not to the excess that was suggested.

Exactly

so there isn't any reason for Meat fans to get all hot and bothered. It would be different if he opened a can of whoop ass on Gerry, and destroyed the studio.

Well...considering the fact that you were the one who brought this up in the first place...why do you talk then out of only one side of your mouth???

I'm saying what I saw, and I thought he was drunk. I'm not going back on what I said.

I'm talking out of one side of my mouth because the other side is swollen and sore. It hurts to open my mouth fully.

Now that would've been a great interview to watch!

He looked like he couldn't keep his eyes open, and his speech in my opinion was slurry. He wasn't exhausted or anything he was just drunk. I also noticed a few bottles on the table well the interview was taking place. But I actually thought Meat Loaf didn't drink anymore?? Post your opinions please.

Hey Stevo!
trying to stir up the shit again?
How come you only post here when people at rockman stop taking you seriously?
PS: liked your little porky rant over there

nikox1 · 15 Sep 2008, 12:01

i seen the show on tv, he was not drunk,,,,,,,,,,,
its the snow ball effect again, somebody says hes drunk
and then he was really drunk, then out of hes mind drunk
meats a great actor, maybe he was playing a new role

and meat would not be too far off 100m sales, including single sales

Then by your theory he should be posting over here all the time because no one on Rockman takes him seriously.

Who cares if Meat Loaf was drunk or not, apart from Meatgril that is

If I was being interviewed by Gerry Ryan I'd get shitfaced and Meat was being interviewed in Ireland wasn't he? it's the law to get drunk

Well he's into his 60's so I'm sure he's able to handle a few bottles, and he wouldn't be the first person to do an interview drunk. It's a Rockstar thing to do.

**The Flying Mouse** · 16 Sep 2008, 21:40

I seem to remember a mention about Meat, TV, and alcohol from some time ago

(just one of those things that sticks).

A little search later shows that Meat did an interview for Q magazine in June 2003, in which he said he drinks tequila before TV interviews because he gets nervous doing TV stuff.

I haven't seen the interview, so I can't comment, but if he was talking about his dad (which has always been a pretty hard subject to deal with, seeing what he went through) I think a couple of belts might have been in order (if not bloody obligatory).

So perhaps Meat DID have a couple of drinks, but I don't think he'd ever drink so much he couldn't handle what was going on.

For instance I can't see Meat ever getting in this state..................

YouTube Video

There will only ever be ONE Ollie Reed

Steve6 · 16 Sep 2008, 21:58

What about Shane McGowen?

lorenzoduke · 17 Sep 2008, 18:54

So a 60 year old man isn't allowed to have a few drinks now?

Did I miss a meeting?

**RadioMaster** · 17 Sep 2008, 19:31

yep, we decided about it last month

Just like you don't want to think about your parents having sex at that age, you don't want to see a 60 year old falling over drunk....LOL
