Snowy Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I'm so excited - I've just booked tickets to go and see Meatloaf at the NEC in November! But it's not for me My son (G 'n R Crazy) will be 16 in September and I suggested he might like to go see a live band for his birthday. Gave him a few options and to my delight he picked Meat! I can't wait (hope I don't embarrass him though ) Has anyone else seen him? Was he good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 no, but I am hugely ! Bet he will be great - he's a real performer, I believe ... and you've just gotta love the music! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 I've not seen him live, but have seen a couple of his 'live' videos and he does put everything into it, great showman. I particularly liked 'Pair of dice by the dartboard light' I tried to sing it once on Karaoke with an equally tone deaf friend. We went down like a knackered lift. I hope you enjoy yourselves! Kev.

Couperman Posted July 11, 2007 Share Posted July 11, 2007 'Pair of dice by the dartboard light' A drunk version of Paradise by the dahboard light? It's sounds the same when you sing it Meatloaf style, it's a bit like that old Maxell cassette advert, ooooooh, ooooooh..... me ears are alight. Kev.

Budgies Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Me, Snowy, I've seen him! He's absolutely incredible live! My friend bought me tickets for my birthday years ago, and I didn't even like him, but she'd been told she really ought to go! He has this incredible charisma on stage, and the band and him really give it their all - it's an amazing atmosphere! Do so hope you have lots of fun!

Helly Welly Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sorry, i just can't see the attraction, all his songs sound exactly the same! Hope you have a good time though Snowey! I've PM'd you about something else entirely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted July 12, 2007 Author Share Posted July 12, 2007 Sorry, i just can't see the attraction, all his songs sound exactly the same! Hope you have a good time though Snowey! I've PM'd you about something else entirely. Yes they do a bit! But it's a sound that I Luuuuuurve! @ Kev: Pair of dice by the dartboard light?? Love it - that's one of my favourite songs - makes me giggle everytime I hear it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperman Posted July 12, 2007 Share Posted July 12, 2007 Meatloaf songs really lend themselves to silly lyric changes, there was one which had 'frogs crawling over the sand' 'two out the tree aint bad' i think, not sure tho 'it was long ago and far away and so much better than it is today!' I think George Lucas was a fan too! My favourite one which doesn't need any edits is 'Life is a lemon and I want my money back!' Morrissey would struggle to come up with a title like that! Kev.

Charlottechicken Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Are you seated or standing Snowy? I am not a fan myself, don't like the Jim Steinman wordy songs, but my friend is a huge fan, and says he is really good. Have a nice time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
