Meat Loaf fails to impress again
11:18am Monday 14th July 2008
Comments (14)FANS of rock star Meat Loaf were left disappointed again after the music legend failed to impress at his latest gig date in Yorkshire.
The rocker is reported to have sworn at hordes of fans about being teetotal during his latest concert at Castle Howard on Friday night.
Reviews of the gig claimed fans left the concert early after the singer appeared to hit out at criticism that he didn't interact with the audience during previous shows on his tour.
One fan claimed he was frequently out of tune, nowhere near the top notes and often slurred the lyrics' before saying the ticket was an absolute waste of money'.
However, another fan claimed that people were leaving early to beat the traffic and that everyone in the audience were enjoying the gig'.

The news comes after the Daily Echo reported on Friday how the 60-year-old Texan rocker apologised for his poor performance in front of a 10,000-strong crowd at Broadlands in Romsey.
His apology came after the paper was inundated with letters and e-mails from concert goers who had paid out £37.50 plus booking fee for a ticket but were left furious over the poor sound quality and lacklustre' performance.

If this ever was news, it's definitely not anymore. If I wanted to read pointless criticism of performances that the journalist didn't even intend, I'd read NME. Get off Meat's back, you've had your apology. Nobody was dragged to the gig at gunpoint. If you don't like Meat Loaf live, never see him again, it really is that simple. Dozens of people didn't like him. Thousands of people did. I must reiterate that this is not news.

Forget this tripe and go to the Guardian online (that's a newspaper with proper journalism) and you can read a sensible review of Meat Loaf's performance last night (in short: 4 stars, no mention of anyone leaving early and written by a journalist who clearly gets the theatrics of Mr Loaf). I hope this website ends it's disgusting attack on a performing great.
What - try the loony lefty Guardian tripe?
No thanks. This is Southampton - not trendy Islington or Notting Hill etc

The many thousands who have enjoyed every show of Meat's this short tour, who have stood in the rain at outdoor ones, and who have sung their hearts out and given him a standing ovation and the real testament to what he's achieved every night. His vocals have been fantastic, his humour appreciated, the splendour of his genuine rock and roll gig undoubted, bu all but a few journalists apparently determined to harass him.
I've seen reviews where they even refer to songs he didn't sing.
He's still the best at what he does, and the British press should be as ashamed of themselves as I am, so often, of them.

I was at Castle Howard and this was the best concert I've been to in years - and I've been to a lot. I did not see one person who did not enjoy the gig and in the huge queue to leave AFTER the end of the concert, nobody had a bad word to say.
Meat's theatrical joke about tee-totalers is exactly what you expect at his or any rock-concert and was a good laugh.
The atmosphere was electric and the big man put in 100% of effort as he always does.
Thanks for the great show Meat!

The concert at Castle Howard was brilliant, I met Meat before the show and found him to be a totally genuine guy who is there for his fans. His performance was superb, the atmosphere electric and he sang live (more than some 'popstars' manage). It's getting so boring seeing negative reports by people who weren't even there.
So what that he didn't hit all the notes, so what that the sound wasn't CD quality, so what that it rained (not that most of us noticed) - I for one went to see a performer that gives his all for his REAL fans, who has fans from every age group and who can still give 2 hours of absolute pleasure to those who aren't just there to pick fault (as most reporters seem to be) AND I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED .
I DID NOT LEAVE EARLY.
I HEARD NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS FROM ANYONE.
NO-ONE AROUND ME WHINGED ABOUT THE SOUND QUALITY.
We all had a brilliant time (my kids were there too) enjoyed the atmosphere and danced in the mud.
If you southern softies want your pitch perfect singer - go to the opera. If you want CD quality sound, sit at home and play the album, but for heavens (and Meat Loaf fans sake) QUIT THE WHINING

"He is absolutely amazing. It has been worth the wait," said one delighted fan as Meat Loaf took to the stage just before 9pm"
Gosh.....I guess he just suddenly got better?
