Are you saying Coast to Coast has ceased all production, or since Art Bell’s demise, you’ve lost interest in listening to the show on Devil’s Night?
I too wish that Noory would retire or give some other host a chance. I’m glad the show has been on in any form, though I no longer make a point of listening to it. On weekends, George has gotten into the habit of featuring ‘Emerging Artists’ in the 60 seconds before commercial break.
Most those Emerging Artists are very amateurish or just plain not interesting. Yet George dumps them on his audience to make himself feel better. He’s sharing the wealth.
There is a second fill in Coast to Coast weekend host.
His specialty is unknown B-Sides of music from the 1960’s.
I am quickly reminded of why these B-Side musicians never really made it big. Dreadful music! I usually turn the dial.
Not really. I tried Noory on more than a few occasions, only if the caller has a really wicked story. I just have my preference with Art as I;ve been listening to the show since high school in the late 90’s.
I'm of the same mind. Noory sucks. He's so shallow.....
“George has gotten into the habit of featuring ‘Emerging Artists’ in the 60 seconds before commercial break”
But - they only play 3 seconds, or maybe only ONE note, of the “artists” song, and then overlay it with blabbing, etc and jump to commercial. It’s a total rip-off to these “artists”. If they were actually good, how the heck can you tell from one note? If it was my song and I heard just the first note I’d be disappointed as hell.
No, actually, it's the first Sunday of every month, not "weekends"....just one day a month. It would be interesting to find out how many of these emerging artists actually get noticed or get signed onto a record label. I don't like the way he features the songs...sometimes he introduces a song with the instrumental part of the song, other times, it's in the middle of the song, not sure who picks out what to play but, that person needs to do a better job if these artists are to get any recognition and Noory never says, hey if you like this artist and want to contact him/her email us and put "interested in artist" in the subject line...
