What my dear friend, Caryl, said. I met her through you and treasure the friendship we'll continue to have... and treasure all the memories of shows seen together.... and we'll always have ... the music... I love you, Chiefie... and always will ...

Meat,

Thank you for all the music & shows.
Thank you for Manchester (show & backstage)

Going All The Way Is Just The Start is a miracle!!!

For me the trilogy Bat / Anything For Love / Going All The Way... is complete.
Thank you for 26 years (I've been following).

Take care & A Very Happy Birthday!!

Love ya!

Andrew

I said it all in a PM, so I'll just say 'thank you'. This is a killer record, and a great way to end a 40+ year career. Get well, take care, and if fate is on my side then maybe I'll run into you at the musical next year.

From the 13 year old me (who heard you for the first time) to the 36 year old me (who's listening to your final album now) -- thanks for everything. It's been the greatest Gothic rock n roll saga ever. It woke me up to the world of music, and it still surprises me to this very day.

It's bittersweet, maybe, because who really likes to think of 'an ending', but man, it sure was one hell of a ride.

Thanks Meat for all the wonderful music!

Thank you Meat.

I has been a great journey. Since I was 7 and first heard AFL, then I rediscovered you when I was 14/15. Met you when I was 16. You and your work played a role at a very important part of my life and i thank you for being there. You have showed me and others what can be achieved.

I congratulate you on your achievements and hope you are proud in reflection on your 40 years. You must have had one hell of a time!

Heres to you and your health. You dream will come, mine is a similar one i believe.

Enjoy yourself and now is time to laugh and relax.

Meat
I'm writing this with tears in my eyes cause your songs have touched my heart and the memories that go with them. From I was sweet sixteen till now.
Thank you from the bottom off my heart.
Rest up and look after yourself.

Thanks Meat. For many years you have made music fun to me.

There are songs/albums I love, I like, dislike (and even hate). But, no matter on what side, all your albums have given me a passion about it like I have with no other artist.

Following you has been such a great road for me. I'm sure I'm gonna miss it but at the end I just hope you will be around long enough and able to enjoy the things you care for most. Thanks for the journey and I wish you all the best!

Thank you Meat, for everything you have given us over many many years. New musicians come and go, new singers disappear in a flash, but you have proved everyone wrong over and over again and you're always the first person I still put on and listen to. You will always be the very best in my eyes. Much much love always. Rob

this thread would have to be archived before enough thanks can accurately be displayed.

Whether you like it or not, and whether you know it or not you've been there and been supportive through the good times and the bad times for us, so it's only right that we do the same for you.

Thank you for everything!

Dearest Meat,

I just simply want to say, "Thank You" Meat for just everything from your first note ever recorded to the personal moments we've shared through the years. There's a whole blanket of Thank You's I could shower you with. I'm terribly sorry you are in so much back pain, I admire your dog like tenacity to make your promo appearances in the UK for "Braver". I will be following your US promo and watching you birth "Braver" here in the States. Jim's dream is coming true through YOU and what an amazing man your are giving it all you have, so selflessly, to the whole project. I have not listened to Braver yet, but my time is coming. I cannot help but to be concerned about the other health problem that prevents you from touring. Whatever "that" is, I hate that it sidelined you from your stage craft. I love you right back and always will.

Thank you for everything you've done, all of the amazing shows, and always putting your fans first. I'll finally have my chance to hear BTWA next week, and I'm truly looking forward to it 😍
Good luck with your promo in NYC. I hope that BTWA will be a huge hit for you and Jim too. I hope that your dreams finally come true someday ❤️
Take care.
Love always,
Vicki ❤️
