You better watch out.

No it wouldn't. Nor would I be surprised if Meat decided he wanted to own the next album hmself.

Hmmm it's a tough one. Many older artists we work with do the albums themselves and then bring us on board to distribute the item. Unless the artist has the funds to put into the promotion as well it doesn't really work well an artist self releasing.

Of course, the plus side is that they don't have to sell as many units to break even etc.

I would and I'd place a wager on it.

In reviewing thoughts on cost of creating the entirety of HCTB, I'm wondering if some cost cutting would have come in for the fact the studio was in Rob C's home. What do folks think ?

I think that just means that Mr Cavallo can get paid twice.

Oh, perhaps you're right. I guess the recording business could be like in The Godfather... "nothing personal, just business" ... ... lol ...

Hey Sarge,

How do you like the new avatar?

[Sarge]

I don't watch Sponge Bob, sorry. You gotta find something else to tease me.

I'm always excited to hear new music from Meat. (Personally, I hope that it's recorded just with the NLE and this time there are more duets with Patti instead of bringing in someone like Kara to sing.)

Agree. When you have Ferraris in the garage why bother bringing in Ford Fiestas?

I'd like to here another duet with Pearl like Man Of Steel.

I love Pearl but Man of steel was a bad bad song. Do you know anything about lyrics the second verse of that song is the worst thing I have ever sung. HCTB is a great great record and some of you need to get out of your little tiny box that you live in. Peace on earth got a standing ovation last night. HCTB is a screen play. The songs work so well . Really if I hear another person saying anything bad about HCTB , I will find you and paint your house bright green with yellow stripes. With the word Bum on the front in RED. Enroll in a poetry
class please and learn about the art of the written word. Acting class and learn the art of truth. Go out on the street and just look around , take off the blinders. Live people Live. Get out of your Hole, it's dark in there. Think of HCTB as a new Alice in Hollywood. Listen to the record, really listen. The only reason not to, is because it scares you. JUST WHEN YOU THOUGHT IT WAS SAFE TO PLAY THE CD. WHO KNOWS WHAT LURKS IN THE DARK !! SCARED !! The only reason you like PFL is because it wasn't on the CD. It said the same thing as "living on the Outside" and that told you who Patrick was as a human being !! Yes Patrick !

No, I like Prize Fight Lover because it's awesome. I think the lyrics and music are both superior to Living On The Outside. And yes, Man Of Steel wasn't the best.

I'd like it even more if it was on the CD because I would have the chance to listen to it in decent quality.

By the way, is it now even wrong to say that you like a song? Instead of being happy about that people think it's a cool song you imply that they only praise it in order to provoke you. I don't get that.

[GDW]

Hey Meat. You can tell that PFL and Living on the Outside had a similar storyline. When are you coming to Perth Australia?

The quality improves if you burn it straight to a CD-R after downloading from the website and re-ripping it onto your Itunes or such....

As for Living on the outside compared to PFL, most people wouldve assotiated it as a "Springsteen rip off" and doesnt fit the new sound album Meat wanted.

Song is less superior to LOTO IMO.

Living on the Outside feels like a modern-era Modern Girl. HCTB itself feels like a Modern-era Bad Attitude. That is whats so great about it.

PFL feels like a Springsteen wanna-bee. Its not bad, though. Being as i can only hold 8 GBs on my Ipod I replaced DYELS and LBIL with PFL and Boneyard respectively. That may ruin the whole concept thing but when its on an Ipod, its on shuffle 99% of the time...

The album's great and I love it. It has its high points (Elvis, California, LA, and IICHY) and, IMHO, its low points (DYELS, LBIL, and SOM) but its an experience.

Now about the new album...

I doubt that it makes a big difference. There is not much you can do about a file that has been compressed that way.

That's one of the reasons why I like it.

Lol Meat i'm considoring saying something just to get you to my house! Not sure about the bright green with yellow stripes though......

Narr I can't say anything bad about HCTB, it's awesome and I can't wait to see it live in November here in the UK.

It was just a figure of speech, a harsh joke on my part and I do not mean to offend anyone. I didn't say anything about the song, just that I think Patti is a better singer than Kara and I'm gad Patti is touring with you. I understand you are trying to be as diverse as you can be with different singers, song writers and musicians and I do appreciate that. The new NLE just sounds great and would love to hear what they could do on an album. Justin seems like a new Roy Bittan, I am very impressed.

I disagree. I think PFL stands head and shoulders above just being branded as a Springsteen rip off. I think it's one of Meat's best songs and love his vocal on it. I don't like the song just because it's not on the album. I love parts of Peace on Earth (the vast majority of the song is perfect imo), Love Song of Madness, and the last few songs on HCTB I love too. Peace on Earth sounds fantastic live going by what I've heard, much more intense than on the record and can't wait to witness it live.

As for the new album I can't wait and I am not telling Meat what he should do and how he should do it.

[DazLoaf01]

Any new music by Meat is welcome by me. It's usually too long between albums anyway, so if we get one sooner rather than later that's good!

[Wario]

thing is this means a tour right after the other... not too good health wise
