does meat sometimes resemble Elvis

(physicaly)
like for example during the 2outa3aint bad video when he turns to the camera and sings "well theres only one girl.."

Tim · 20 Dec 2003, 14:44

mmm... don't know. Wouldn't compare those two.

ChrissybabezNI · 20 Dec 2003, 16:55

no but I do think Meat is at his sexiest in the 2/3 video

Shawmtloaf · 20 Dec 2003, 18:20

Meat can do a really fab Elvis impersonation though! Especially if you hear him during Out Of The Frying Pan (on the live in Cardiff 1993 concert) when he is singing... I Wanna Take You... Wicked!!

dottie · 20 Dec 2003, 20:46

I know that Meat is and was inspired by Elvis, so maybe thats why?

If you've ever seen Meat sing Dixie, as he did on the tribute to Elvis many years ago on television, you would have been forgiven for thinking that was Elvis singing then.

Alas I do not think this tribute was ever repeated

Shawmtloaf · 20 Dec 2003, 20:55

Does Meat not talk about meeting Elvis in his Autobiography? Or, at least one account ive heard, sounds like Elvis was pretty impressed by Meat!

Take care
Ewan

Rob The Badger · 20 Dec 2003, 21:12

No. Elvis and Meat look nothing alike. . .but yes, Meat does do a mean Evis impersonation.

meatfan · 21 Dec 2003, 02:59

Elvis who?

Heather.

badger · 21 Dec 2003, 21:38

I am afraid I can't see it myself.

Great pic Eyeore the Badger!

In VH1 Classic Albums Jim did mention an Elvis quality (was that the right word, or was it something else?

........sure it was quality) about Meat's performances. What about in RHPS? Little glimpses of Elvis in him then? My Mam said Meat reminds her of Elvis, but I think she means performance wise, and my Mam's not the best person to talk to music wise

SVZ · 22 Dec 2003, 13:46

ok anyone who has the hard book addition of his auto-bio..check out the pic where hes eddie (b&w) and some guy is i think applyin more makeup or summit. and the pic where hes a kid n hes sitten on stage surounded by women.them two pics..eddie and 2outa3 for me has a definate elvis-ness (if thats a word lol)about him.otherwise hes meat ..the one n only

Jaymze · 30 Dec 2003, 18:24

Meat does say in his autobiography that he was a massive Elvis fan, I think he's inspired Meat cos if u look at some of Elvis' music videos, the moves he does with the music are similiar to ones that Meat does on long instrumentals, little hand movements are similiar too.

Heya-

I think he looks a little Elvis-esque in Rocky Horror as Eddie, but YES Two Out Of Three Aint Bad does have Meat Loaf looking mighty sexy, I agree!!...but I don't see the Elvis there.

Gez · 08 Jan 2004, 11:23

Well 'I'm all shook up'

Bart · 08 Jan 2004, 11:49

Meat is inspired bij Elvis indeed and they have a lot in common.

The Elvis Tribute he did was back in 87. Unfortunately I did not have a videorecorder

LostSoul · 08 Jan 2004, 19:44

Meat has maybe a bit of the King (Elvis)
and maybe a bit of the Queen (Freddy)
but Meat is the one and only SEX GOD!!!!!

mariella · 08 Jan 2004, 19:52

LostSoul, I bet you are having a Great time behind that computer...and Ofcourse you are right, once again, I think!

I know a number of contributors to this thread have "pooh-poohed" (in the nicest possible way) the original suggestion. However I just want to add that at one point at Cardiff in early January I was watching the video screen during Meat's show and I swear I thought it was Elvis. I didn't think so before but after that experience I think the original poster may have a point! Carry on with the "pooh-poohing" now - I've had my say!!
