Friday Feb 1st Artie Lang Show Listening Thread

[Rodney21a]

Bullshit that Tyre Catch was great and Joe Buck's reaction was harrible. May as well have a fucking android have called the play.

[CAPTAIN KIRK]

Artie completely ignoring Stover & Zimmern, even turns his body away from them. Stover desperately trying to butt in, and it's obvious Zimmerm has no idea what they're all talking about ..

Thanks - maybe Artie can hold his palm up in front of Stove's face

Artie seems oblivious to the listeners' disdain for the musical guests.

[Rodney21a]

Do you think he has a choice about the musical guest? Its a fucking radio show and they are going to have musical guest all of them aren't going to be the next big act. The Music industry is fucked any way why complain about musicians trying to make a buck?

[Mike]

It fucking sucks. It totally halts the flow of the show for this shit that is shoved down the show's throat.

[CAPTAIN KIRK]

Holy shit tonight's band is even worse than last nights band. Good god..

[fatstuff]

I wonder if its something to do with the sound mix - like that band yesterday, I thought their first song wasn't that bad, but it seemed like the guitar was pretty clean and maybe there would've been more distortion there live.
Maybe they can't get the whole sound to air?
Somebody with a bit of audio sound experience might be able to explain that a bit better than me.

2 minute appreggio breakdown - now that's what I call music. Fuck those guys sucked.

[CAPTAIN KIRK]

I think I spotted Gange in the gym shooting baskets with Artie on the live commercial look in. Artie mentioned Will and that he still texts with Teddy. Interesting..

most of these have to be lounge, small bar acts, they all bring in their own amps. It isn't like they are Metallica dropping down to a practice amp. The artie show mics the amps, I saw one time a PA taking the mics off, never noticed how they mic the drums, overheads i imagine, mic the bass, the mix seems fine for tv. It's more of a problem of the guys playing, but what do you expect, guitar music is dying and they are getting those trying to break in an industry broken. I don't understand getting shitty cracker bands in NOLA, at least the first band was a NOLA type band, rather have a creole band in there than shitty moderate rock

Mikey getting some advice on the 40

I don't think Artie has a choice in the matter. It's The Guitar Center Soundstage, and Guitar Center has a show on Direct TV, so they are going to have musical guests. Regardless of what Artie, or we the listeners/viewers think. When the musical acts are on I take that time to go get a snack, drink etc or use the bathroom. Its like an intermission.
But I agree, I'd love to see the musical acts go by by (unless it's someone people actually have heard of)

[mpa]

Jesus Christ the broad talking about partying on every break with a guy that tried to kill himself twice when he ran out of drugs is bizarre

[fatstuff]

Yeah, OK, I don't even mind hearing a band I've never heard of - was just puzzled about the need to have them.
I'd be thrilled if I got turned on to a new band I liked.

Talking about cross promotion, I liked the segment they did the other day with the 2 people from that new TV show.
I'm not gonna watch that show, but the interaction with Mike B was fun.

[Rodney21a]

Has anybody ever tried to voice their opinion about the excessive use of crappy bands to Ken Kohl or the guys in L.A.? I think i should be reserved for good bands and if they want a music component to the show just hire some fucking house band. I think I read somewhere that Kohl wanted the show to be like the old tonight show when it was in New York and 2 hours long.

[Rodney21a]

Listening to the Bone 102.5 on Iheartradio ap and some lady is trying to say hoovers and it sounds like she is saying whoooeres in that Jersey Italian way.

[CAPTAIN KIRK]

On top of the shitty bands we have to endure during the actual show, DirectTV also plays more shit bands during their commercials. Joe Walsh being the only exception to the rule but if I see Alanis Morrisette, Hoobastank or Colby Cailet one more time I'm gonna puke.

[Avery]

That's two more blacks than a Woody Allen movie

[mpa]

holy fuck, that band where they say "we mix genders" and that fuckin bass player with the cowboy hat and guys just chanting. Man, I hope evil things to them. I cant stand joe walsh so even that pisses me off. Fuckin Alanis Morissete sold 30 mil records, and she's on directv cable access singing 20 year old songs, for fucks sake
