Hi Debbie nice 2 meet you!!
Thanks for the pics. MB. I'll see what I can find.

[MBrevard]

Hi! Hope everyone had a good Halloween! And you only had friendly ghosts and ghoulies visit you yesterday!!

Debbie, welcome! So nice to have you with us here! Love to see those pictures from last year's tour!!

Bart, I hope you can find a scanner. I'd love to see that photo, too!! I have some more from that same tour, that I'll be sharing here, as well. I've never heard of a Bianca, though, maybe someone else here has.

Hey, F.A.! Thanks! Looking to see more from you, too!

Well, I've got a few more pics for you today--good way to kick off the weekend.


First, here's another from the '88 tour:




Next up, I'm not sure of the date of this one. It looks earlier than 93, though. Any guesses??




And finally, I have another from the Pam Moore days:



Hope you enjoy them!!

More later...


Have a great day, friends!!

Love,
MB

Actually, i THINK (not super positive) that last one is Kati Mac, before she started dying her hair. She did two tours, one where she was the only singer (as a brunette) -- i think they even did a performance on TOTP of Modern Girl that's been shown on TOTP classic (i forget the exact name of the 'oldies' show, sorry!!) in recent years. Then she toured as a blonde and with another backing vocalist in the band, Doreen Chanter. I could be wrong though about that photo being her!! But i remember one of the Meat sites also having photos from old tour books, and Meat and Kati, as a brunette, were shown doing Paradise, and Kati was dressed up as a cheerleader -- if i can remember the site, i'll post the link. Take care!!

[MBrevard]

Hi, Jennifer!! THANKS!!

You know, I asked a little while ago if anyone had ever seen Kati Mac as a brunette, because I had only seen her as a blonde!! And we didn't get any responses here.

Pam Moore was just a guess on my part because this photo did not come with captions of any kind!!

I'd love to see more photos of Kati with dark hair, if you can find them!!

Thanks again!!

Love,

Hope i didnt sound like a snotty little know it all or something, sorry if i did!!! I cant recall the correct web address for this site anymore, but if anyone knows the actual web address of the "Escape From Hell" site, i believe THAT's where there's the photos from different tour books in one section. Hope this helps!! Take care!!

Hey - remember when we had talked about our dreams at night?? Well! I had another one. This time it wasn't about Meat!!
For god sakes it was about John Miceli(sp), What is that about? In the dream He showed up at my home, which is odd because I am never here. We hung out and and talked like we had known each other. He came back from Germany for one day and was heading back again today for another show. God! it was weird, well can't get into how weird but why him?? I mean he's got a great smile and hits those drums great, but oh well! don't know. So then I woke this am and ran to my computer which hasn't been working on the west coast. I clicked on Kasim's web and the strangest thing at the bottom was picture of Kas with John. Then I clicked on the tour dates to see when they are due in concert again. Anywho - couldn't figure it out, haven't dreamed about Kas yet and I have won passes to meet him. Strange brain I tell you.

[MBrevard]

Hey, Jen! No, you never sound like a 'snotty little know it all' to me! So, don't worry about it!

I've seen the website you're talking about, but you know, it's been a LONG time ago! Is it still up here and is it active? Does anyone know?

Hiya, Tink! Yeah, I love the lacies, too!! Those pics get me every time!!

Boston, Congrats on your win!!

What are you eating for dinner??!! I think I'd like to try some of it, whatever it is, and maybe it'll improve the quality of the dreams I'VE been having lately!! (I won't bore you with details! )

Hey, you might get to meet John, too, when you redeem your Kasim backstage pass!

You know, guys, I'm in the mood for a song today. You ever feel that way--you HAVE to hear something Meaty right now or you're just not going to make it??!!

How about this one?!!

Ahhhh, that's better!! Hope you enjoyed it!!

Love to you all,
MB

Meat's "Love You Out Loud". is my fav. We warm up to it before our performance. I put it in the radio last week and it's like the OFFICAL CD for us. After that it's"Tesify and Tear Me Down". I am trying to get a clip of it to post so Meat can see Celtic dancers do it to his songs.


Also - During my dream I couldn't spend to much time with him because of my busy agenda and he had a sad face on him. I then asked when I would see him back in the states? He said "Oct." That's weird he said Oct. That's along time. Wouldn't that be weird if it happened. \

Thanks for the audio clip, MB, I'm listening as I type this! Very good one. I love it when Meat misses his cue to start the song. BostonCPA, here's whats odd- I dreamed about Kasim the other night, and I didn't win backstage passes with my QPQ. I dreamed that my husband had hired Kasim to play a concert for me and my friends in honor of my 35th birthday (big !) next May. The concert was good, and for some reason Kasim, the band, Pearl and Meat (who didn't appear at the concert, oddly enough) all spent the night at my house. (Where, I don't know- my house is tiny!) In the morning, I was running all over the house trying to clean up after the party while they all cooked breakfast in my kitchen! I find ketchup very revolting (yes, I'm odd), and in my dream Meat kept eating ketchup straight out of the bottle and laughing at me as I got nauseous. He was also cooking sausages, and Pearl was making eggs. Why must I have a culinary themed Meat dream? I want something a bit more interesting! Anyway, that was my Kasim dream that sort of morphed into a Meat dream.

[BostonCPA]

Sherrie - I can picture Meat laughing. How did Kas look. Just kiddin. It's hair that make his whole looks and when he wears those glasses. Hold on mama!! It was just so cute the little smiles and winks during the Boston concert. We all know they do that, But I finally received his CD and it's great.

Those pics of Meat as Hook are, well, most excellent! Do you all know, did that go with a particular act or something? How did it fit into the show?

Boston,

Maybe John becuz he's got such gorgous hair. I'd love to run the fingers . . . TINK . . . where's that darn pumper truck with the Holy Water?!?!?!? I just know we can use it in a case like this . . . I'm sure we can . . . I just know we can . . . John forgive me . . .

Must bring Meat Loaf album (everyone can bring a different one- like a pot luck!)

Must play Spin the bottle (now, how do you RIG a bottle?? )

Man, I should have gotten in on this conversation a LONG time ago but I just haven't been around for anything at all lately.

Ok, if we're getting all teenager giggly, the wine is good old Boones Farm or Annie Green Springs. (Oh gosh, does that date me???)

What I find "Sexy" about him is not just that he's a larger man but I think the sex appeal for me was that he and Leslie were married for so long. It's one thing that appeals to me about Jon Bon Jovi too. In a respectful way. The fact that he didn't do all the playing around that you think of "stars" doing. That said, I know he wasn't an angel but I think you know what I mean. (The large man thing is something I never thought I'd go for either btw. I'm not referring to overweight men but those that are large in the sense that they're tall but fit. Just not too tall 'cuz I'm only 5 foot tall & it's hard to kiss a guy when he's TOO tall. )

And Gamergirl . . . "A Ladies Night With Meat"??? Oh heavens . . . the poor man, there'd be nothing left of him 'cuz he'd have no chance. Gosh, and Dottie was the lucky one too . . . sigh . . .

Lady B ~ And Rick Springfield still lives on btw . . . just not as a poster on my ceiling anymore.

Lady B ~ who didn't match up well with Meat but was a 100% match with Bono, 99% with Tony Gwynn and a 96% with . . . Lyle Lovett! Bono's not fair, we were born on the same date.

[MBrevard]

Hi, Lady B!! Where you been, girl?? We've been missing you at the forum!! Nice to have you back with us!!

Kathy, about Meat as Hook: There was a short European tour in 1988, where Meat's act was completely different from what we know it to be today. I'm hoping that maybe someone here was at some of the concerts and can talk about it more. I am only going on what little I've seen and what I have heard from some recordings.

But Meat started off the show in a straight jacket.



And this is what he'd say.

And then, they'd play some great music!

Later in the show, he came onstage as Hook--with the patch on his eye and a hook instead of one of his hands! We all know Jim's fascination with Peter Pan, and with Meat performing some of Jim's songs from Bad for Good during the shows, I guess I've always felt this was strange, but appropriate.

I have to admit this tour has always fascinated me. We all know that Meat plays a character onstage--the character of Meat Loaf, who is very different from the man behind the curtain.

But on this particular tour, I have always thought that his regular character was playing OTHER characters, that of the insane rock 'n' roller AND Hook--if that makes sense. And it's not easy to do that!!

I don't know if he was unhappy with the results or maybe he just preferred playing the regular Meat Loaf role, but I don't think (and please, someone correct me if I'm wrong) that he ever tried this again. I think for every subsequent tour, he has just played the ML character or gone on as himself, as in the Storytellers tour.

Since we've been talking about this, I'm going to share something else with you all today. I think I had it up for a short time during Meat's birthday party at the forum. But I know that a number of you weren't able to be here for it. So, I'll give you a taste of Meat playing Hook!

Hope you enjoy it!! It's not the best recording, but I've always sort of felt like it's a miracle we can see ANY of this at all!!

Well, enough from me for now! Have a great day, friends. Talk with you later!

Love to all,
MB

Tink, i stopped sitting on the chair a long time ago, now i just
sit on a cushion on the floor, it saves the old bottom from hurting
from to many falls on the floor, after looking at all the great
pictures, :P and lets face it girls have you ever seen a bad pic of meat?
oomph, i know i havent, but the only problem now is how are we
supposed to get through all the house work when we have a stupid
grin on our faces? i gave up trying to go shopping after being on
here a while back, as i got to many funny looks!

...MB!!!!!...thanks for the WONderful share of Meat as Hook...

tink..all meatied up and glad she has somewhere to...err..why..come...lol...HERE she means....HEEERE.....why youuuu...rolling...XO

[Kathy]

Thanks, MB! You know, I saw a photo of Meat wearing a straitjacket in his autobiography and I _wondered_ what that was all about. That show must have been hilarious to see! And that's the first time I've ever heard Bad For Good; I didn't know Meat ever sang it. Good song - maybe a little long in the middle, but neat things happen on stage, so you wouldn't want to leave the middle out :) I wish he would put out a video, but I guess if he were going to, he would have by now. What a show that must have been. Thanks again.

[sherrie87]

Wow, I love the straightjacket monologue- very theatrical, very cool. I saw ML in the US around that same time, maybe a year later, and there were no costumes like that, just a straight ahead rock show.

Did he do Hook just for BFG, or for several songs?
