How likely it is that the company putting on the Rocktellz and Cocktails series of Vegas seasons would be tempted into producing DVDs I have no idea.

Nothing would surprise me in this area Warrio .. but I stand by what I said. I doubt there will be many. If any surface we'll just have to help WoH avoid them and save him the disappointment of listening and watching

.. and then having to tell us how disappointed he was.

And I've already checked them. But God, why?

Even Meat confessed he is low key but it's good enough to the fans. Am I the only critic to say it is not enough?

Butcher King · 18 Aug 2013, 18:45

My impression of what this show will be is a retrospective of Meat's career. I don't get the impression it's a "concert" but one of a Vegas show with video montages, set and costume changes, live songs with and without Meat, and the Q&A. I'm I far off?

If this was to be recorded I would want a great copy and not some crappy bootleg.

I can't wait for Vegas!

LucyK! · 18 Aug 2013, 18:48

Did I read/hear somewhere that the stories are aimed more towards Meat's acting career rather than his music? Did he say it in a meet and greet or have I made it up?!

I don't think you're far off. Meat said recently when asked if it would be like Storytellers that it would start out like that but would take off like a rocket and get kicked into the stratosphere .. or words to that effect

Dear God yes!! It would be up to the producers .. and I tend to think that they might be reluctant to take out tables/seating unless they saw a significant profit in it though..

I think he said it would be aimed at his whole career rather than than the songs or the making of BOOH etc. That was also the M&G he gave some impromptu acting lessons .. so I could see how your synapses might put the two together and came up with acting career rather than music

melon · 18 Aug 2013, 19:24

I think Paul posted something on Facebook earlier, about a pic of Meat & Gene Simmons and that Meat would be talking about it during the show... but I haven't heard anything about him talking more about the acting stuff

LucyK! · 18 Aug 2013, 19:27

It was just a passing comment that was floating around in the back of my head...I might even have dreamt it!

tonyloaf · 19 Aug 2013, 00:56

Like your hotel in Newmarket ?

LucyK! · 22 Aug 2013, 00:29

You sod

With regards to the "branding" of Vegas, I am LOVING the old style Meat Loaf logo, it's like it's come full circle!

anotherday · 22 Aug 2013, 04:42

Something I've always been wondering...

What is the difference between logos ? I hear "NEW" "OLD" 80s" thrown around and NO idea what they mean. Can someone post visual description/ explanation?

Fire Ball · 22 Aug 2013, 05:33

Yes you are pretty far off , no live songs without me , there is a Q&A but still pretty far off, still opening with 64 and up to dead ringer . Then I'm going to take you for a ride !!

As always ... ALL ABOARD !!! Train my bum ... It's ROLLERcoaster time !!! ... Good luck to you and the band with the show, Meat... I won't make any, but look forward to hearing all about them !!! ... xo

Fire Ball · 22 Aug 2013, 05:58

If "White of High " doesn't like me, for 10 years now, why does he come and post on here ? Just a simple question. as far as keys go , Bat , paradise, took the words are in the same key as they were recording 37 years ago , why? because I can still hit the notes . ( most of the time

. My speaking voice changed in 1993 as well as my singing voice when they took a bone out of my nose . It was a small bone !!
Meat

Fire Ball · 22 Aug 2013, 06:00

The producers brought up today filming the show , don't know if it will happen but they did bring it up in a conversation .
Meat

Deena J · 22 Aug 2013, 06:07

So the plan is to answer questions from the audience & steer the convo into a song from your set list. What if the question is out-and-out bizarre? Will you answer anyway and then say "okay and the next song is..."?

What is Plan B for something like that? LOL

Breeze · 22 Aug 2013, 06:32

they might film the Vegas shows? I'll never get to Vegas but I'd buy the video.
wishing and hoping

Glad I was far off! Sounds even better! See you on Oct 3rd!

SO Wish I could afford VEGAS. GAH! Anyone wanna help me out? L O L

LucyK! · 22 Aug 2013, 09:30

@anotherday re: logos

The original logo/font is shorter and wider. Bat 2 until Hang Cool (don't quote me, not got it to hand!) is taller and thinner.

A few 80's releases used completely different fonts but in terms of the "proper" logo that's the difference.

Its actually till Bat 3 that have the tall thin font.

Hang Cool and HIAHB have the current rasterized font.
