Approval
A couple of people I know have asked me about whether Meat Loaf knows about Everything Louder and whether he approves of the artwork. I know the artwork hasn't had his approval and as for his knowledge that the site even exists, I don't know. I've never been contacted about the content and so all I can think is that he might know it exists. I try to ensure that the content of the site portrays him positively but at the end of the day it's a fansite. I created it for his fans.
I have thought about writing to him, telling him the site exists and if there are any issues with the content then I'd gladly take it down or swap it but I've been to scared to do it. After all, it's better to hear nothing than being told negative things from a person you respect so much about a site that you work hard on? If you get that kind of feedback, is it going to affect the future of the site? Some of my friends may know the story of some feedback I recieved a few years ago about a website I used to run. It was abrupt and without any kind of nicety to soften the blow of the errors they pointed out. I fixed the errors but because of the way they had asked me, I never felt the same way about the site again.
I know that Everything Louder is different from this other site simply because of the person it's dedicated to but the feedback may end up coming from an agent, who doesn't appreciate the efforts that fans put into projects like this. For now I think I will just carry on the way I have been and if Meat or his agents/managers have something to say about the site then they can contact me.
