    I never knew how painful rock concerts were until last night

    Went to see Meatloaf last night and had to cover my ears. Just like sitting on the runway of a military bass and those guys have earmuffs on. LOL Why do they have to play the music at full volumn? Couldn't understand what he was singing.

    I never went to rock concerts but my hubby did when he was younger. They hurt. GEESH. But then I have to cover my ears at the beginning of movies when the sound guys show you how good their sound is by playing it at full volumn. YIKES. Ok, that's good sound, just keep it down, OK?

    I need to get some CDs of Meat so my hubby can acually hear the words. Anyway, i went to bed early last night to recover. My feet and body were a mess as well from walking all over the fair. I missed all the bro-ha-ha on here last night which was the good thing. LOL

    I enjoyed it pretty much except for the loudness and the people walking in front of me to go back and forth to the refreshment stand and the people in front of me getting in the way talking to each other.

    It was fun watching the people singing along and the older guy doing everything meatloaf did singing along with him. He puts on a good show and nust be exhausted at the end. Just wish it was toned down somewhat so I could hear the words.

    My hubby asked what did he say and thinking I could yell them at him. No thank you.

    were you like right by a speaker or something? my friend's band use to practice in this tiny room and it was way too loud, i listened from outside.

    last concert i went to was glam slam metal jam with poison quiet riot and all the 80's acts. that was just a couple years ago, it was not too loud at all, but it was outside. i took my kids with me, my duaghter was just a baby, she loved it she was going nuts, my son slept through the whole thing. my duaghter got to meet quiet riot and they were all loving on her and telling her how cute she was, and they thought it was so neat that they had this young fan. we got all thier autographs.

    i like meat loaf alot, i have a cd of like the best of, and i love the rocky horror picture show

    No, I was way in the middle stands half way back. It was at the fair and maybe it reverberated in the grandstand shell we were in and of course the people yelling back of me didn't help. Just loud.

    Now the jackhammer people were here to treat my house for termites. The guy using the jackhammer didn't have any ear protectors on. They usually get deaf if they work at that business for a long time. Mucisians as well.

    Here are the lyrics to one of his more popular songs. It's a very long song.
    Paradise By The Dashboard Light
    1. PARADISE
    BOY:
    I remember every little thing
    As if it happened only yesterday
    Parking by the lake
    And there was not another car in sight
    And I never had a girl
    Looking any better than you did
    And all the kids at school
    They were wishing they were me that night
    And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    It never felt so good, it never felt so right
    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    C'mon! Hold on tight!
    C'mon! Hold on tight!
    Thought it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light

    GIRL:
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed
    'Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely dressed
    Ain't no doubt about it
    Baby got to go and shout it
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed

    BOY:
    'Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely dressed
    Baby doncha hear my heart
    You got it drowning out the radio
    I've been waiting so long
    For you to come along and have some fun
    And I gotta let you know
    No you're never gonna regret it
    So open up your eyes I got a big surprise
    It'll feel all right
    Well I wanna make your motor run
    And now our bodies are oh so close and tight
    It never felt so good, it never felt so right
    And we're glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    Glowing like the metal on the edge of a knife
    C'mon! Hold on tight!
    C'mon! Hold on tight!

    Though it's cold and lonely in the deep dark night
    I can see paradise by the dashboard light
    Paradise by the dashboard light
    You got to do what you can
    And let Mother Nature do the rest
    Ain't no doubt about it
    We were doubly blessed
    'Cause we were barely seventeen
    And we were barely-

    We're gonna go all the way tonight
    We're gonna go all the way
    And tonight's the night...
    We're gonna go all the way tonight
    We're gonna go all the way
    And tonight's the night...

    RADIO BROADCAST
    OK, here we go, we got a real pressure cooker going here,
    Two down, nobody on, no score, bottom of the ninth,
    There's the windup, and there it is, a line shot up the middle,
    Look at him go. This boy can really fly! He's rounding first and really
    turning it on now, he's not letting up at all, he's gonna try for
    second; the ball is bobbled out in center, and here comes the
    throw, and what a throw! He's gonna slide in head first, here he
    comes, he's out! No, wait, safe-safe at second base, this kid
    really makes things happen out there. Batter steps up to the
    plate, here's the pitch-he's going, and what a jump he's got,
    he's trying for third, here's the throw, it's in the dirt-safe at
    third! Holy cow, stolen base! He's taking a pretty big lead out
    there, almost daring him to try and pick him off. The pitcher
    glances over, winds up, and it's bunted, bunted down the third
    base line, the suicide squeeze is on! Here he comes, squeeze
    play, it's gonna be close, holy cow, I think he's gonna make it!

    II. LET ME SLEEP ON IT
    GIRL:
    Stop right there!
    I gotta know right now!
    Before we go any further!
    Do you love me?
    Will you love me forever?
    Do you need me?
    Will you never leave me?
    Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
    Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
    Do you love me!?
    Will you love me forever!?
    Do you need me!?
    Will you never leave me!?
    Will you make me happy for the rest of my life!?
    Will you take me away and will you make me your wife!?
    I gotta know right now
    Before we go any further
    Do you love me!?
    Will you love me forever!?

    BOY:
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning

    GIRL:
    I gotta know right now
    Do you love me?
    Will you love me forever?
    Do you need me?
    Will you never leave me?
    Will you make me so happy for the rest of my life?
    Will you take me away and will you make me your wife?
    I gotta know right now!
    Before we go any further
    Do you love me?
    And will you love me forever?

    BOY:
    Let me sleep on it
    Baby, baby let me sleep on it
    Let me sleep on it
    And I'll give you an answer in the morning
    Let me sleep on it

    GIRL:
    Will you love me forever?

    BOY:
    Let me sleep on it

    GIRL:
    Will you love me forever!!!!

    III. PRAYING FOR THE END OF TIME
    I couldn't take it any longer
    Lord I was crazed
    And when the feeling came upon me
    Like a tidal wave
    I started swearing to my god and on my mother's grave
    That I would love you to the end of time
    I swore that I would love you to the end of time!
    So now I'm praying for the end of time
    To hurry up and arrive
    'Cause if I gotta spend another minute with you
    I don't think that I can really survive
    I'll never break my promise or forget my vow
    But God only knows what I can do right now
    I'm praying for the end of time
    It's all that I can do
    Praying for the end of time,
    So I can end my time with you!!

    BOY:
    It was long ago and it was far away
    And it was so much better that it is today

    GIRL:
    It never felt so good
    It never felt so right
    And we were glowing like
    A metal on the edge of a knife
