Patti no longer with the NLE

Wario · 17 Aug 2013, 03:43

Instead of littering the horse race thread with thoughts and anger about Pati's termination I thought Id start a new thread.

I am wondering why this happened. Why meat decided to "terminate" her, as she says on FB.

Thats harsh. I hope she didn't do anything or something

renegadeangel · 17 Aug 2013, 03:45

Sounds like its all going to come out eventually, maybe a book

You hope she didn't do anything? This is Patti Russo you are talking about right? As in one of the nicest women I've met?!

CarylB · 17 Aug 2013, 03:51

What I know is this. Meat has recruited two great female vocalists, who deserve to be congratulated.

I will remember Patti with great affection, and welcome Stacy and Lisa.

Adje · 17 Aug 2013, 03:56

Oh boy. I hope this isn't going to be 2007 all over

Anyway, wonder if this means she won't be on the new album. I was looking forward to Karla, Ellen and Patti performing together...

Exactly. Meat's in great form, vocally and in terms of energy and fun. He has two great new vocalists. He will be putting on a great show tomorrow, and then in Vegas. That's what matters imo

Indeed!

I have heard some of these blonde girls and they sound quite good, no Patti, but everyone is unique. I think these 2 are good.

I will miss Patti, but good luck to the 2 new girls.

I think we have a spiral thread on our hands. Some of us will want to know, others will be pained having to look at it every day or threatened by the discussion.

At the end of the day, things phrased politely are not always polite. And things phrased rudely are sometimes far less offensive than something politely written that carefully implies rude things.

...Mod time...for which I am thankful

cujo · 17 Aug 2013, 08:15

I am gutted that Patti has gone. She has been with Meat for most of the time I have been attending shows, but for the short period she was not there I felt there was a spark missing , despite Aspen being a brilliant performer. For me the shows will not be the same.
We will probably never know why and speculating will not achieve anything, but what I will say is Patti is a lovely person.
I take it Patti is now the old pair of shoes that has to be replaced......

Wario · 17 Aug 2013, 08:24

Thinking MEta just wanted a change of pace and a feel for 1987

...He said he would never let it happen again. So if its true that this is '07 all over again, I'll be pretty gutted. Seeing the band just won't be the same if that's the case....But I'm gonna wait until we hear from Meat because I know he has a big heart, and I know what he said in this interview about Patti was genuine. So as far as what Patti said on her fb, which could have multiple meanings, I'm giving Meat the benefit of the doubt on this one.

JennaG · 17 Aug 2013, 09:17

I can fully understand why people are wondering and asking about this but we do not know the full circumstances that led to this and we may never know. Meat is not obliged to provide us with an explanation if he doesn't feel it is appropriate and I wouldn't expect him to provide one if he does not feel that it is appropriate.

Tina.K. · 17 Aug 2013, 09:26

My first reaction: WHAT THE F***K ??!!!!

My second reaction: whatever the issue is I hope they can work it out because I think Meat = Patti and Patti = Meat. They belong together and can't do it without each other, well they actually can, but it can never be the same. Patti is Meat's rock.

I'm actually quite upset about this.

Tina.K. · 17 Aug 2013, 09:28

And a star to much in my shouting word

Lee B · 17 Aug 2013, 09:55

I'm actually absolutely gutted about this. I love Patti almost as much as I love Meat. Regardless of what has gone on, Meat has now lost an outstanding female vocalist.

That was my point :)

I would like to hear the other side of this. I will miss Patti tonight though

Just because we don't know the facts doesn't mean we can't wonder why such a mainstay of the band is suddenly no longer there

Could someone PM me or something with what she actually said on FB? I don't have Patti on Facebook. I presume it came from her personal page.

Very sad to hear this, I love Patti x

I never suggested you shouldn't, just that people should bear in mind that we don't know the facts before pointing the finger of blame.

I also don't understand why no mention of this in advance. Today it seems more posts are about Patti's unexpected departure than what was by all accounts a great show.

Meat Loaf_fan · 17 Aug 2013, 13:03

I will miss Patti, but ... I felt that there will be changes in the band. Why? Meat said that he will not be touring (= many concerts during tour) any more. What's more - he will have shows in Vegas (this year and perhaps next). This are two reasons to expect changes in the band.

Anyway ... I feel very

.

PS. I Wonder if people had the same thoughts in the past when Amy and Elaine Goff left the band?
