Hypnosis is in the eye of the beholder--I don't buy far right fear mongering.  And this is from someone who is more right than left.  If it rocks your boat--good for you.  I'm not buying.  Even Art never had any love for the Alex Jones types.

Art, I feel bad for you for the way you got treated but not Wells.

He openly joked about getting fired, mocked you and your new show, etc etc.


He managed to play his fear mongering cards right and got his weekend numbers up (aren't weekend numbers always higher for a late night/over night?).

I agree Noory is a joke but good riddance to Wells.

Yeah I agree about Welles--he's on the lunatic Alex Jones conspiracy fringe.  So I won't miss him.

Art, if you are still reading these posts I would implore you to keep engaging with your fan base during this forced hiatus. You have 5,000 friends on Facebook and  nearly 10,000 followers on there. You should continue to engage this audience and there are other ways you can grow it without violating your NC. Surely you could blog through artbell.com. Daily, Weekly, Bi-Weekly or even Monthly updates of your opinions, thoughts, musing or whatever on any topics will be lapped up by your fans. Social media can be a powerful tool and many of your fans and followers will share or retweet your thoughts thereby reaching a wider audience. Don't be a stranger. You don't want to have to start the rebuild in 2 years time. Use the time you have now. Just my 2 cents.

I would add--use and exploit your twitter.




PS--does that sound pornographic?!

"Now here's President, Content & Affiliate Relations Premiere Networks Julie Talbott telling us how she got into radio…"

I think it was Jazmunda's fault.

Quote from: Art Bell on February 06, 2014, 08:02:59 PM
As I have posted on Facebook and as I promised on this Forum, as soon as I am released from the
Sirius/XM NC I will begin streaming my own show. The article so well written about JBW only confirms
what I have felt for YEARS.

I might have better luck asking Julie for a release of my NC.......I say this because while I was trying
to talk to Sirius/XM two days after I left, I simply could not understand why they were not responding
to my offer to return if they would only allow streaming until Sirius fixed their problems, when I finally did
get a response it was to inform me that Coast would be taking my spot on channel 104.

It is my feeling that "they" want me kept off the air, ho hum, I will fool them by staying healthy and kicking
their ass as soon as I can get free.

                                                                                                               Art

Art--glad my faith on you keeping your word on returning is justified.  Hope you use this time to plan your new launch so you can kick some Coast to Coast ass!


Mega Rosewells my man.

Yeah. I'm no big fan of Georgie but I don't see conspiracy kooky boy as vastly popular.

Quote from: HorrorReporter on February 02, 2014, 12:53:04 PM
The honesty that John Wells expressed on this interview was pretty darn cool, and it did make me respect him a lot more

I swear to this, I have said it before and I am going to say it again, the Art Bell and John Wells fans, regardless of political disagreements, now have a lot more in common than they ever thought they would

I think that little sneaking admission that ratings were better on Saturday than they were all five other days of the week shows us exactly why John Wells is gone, and shows us why Noores worked behind the scenes with Sirius radio to screw Art Bell and take his rerun timeslot away..

Don't for a second buy that John Welles was getting ratings way beyond Noory--regardless what Seas David claims.  Morton is a constant liar.  If Welles was doing that great--he'd have replaced Noory.

Welles can blame it on "conspiracy" but that is just more false paranoia from him.  Good riddance.

Quote from: MV on February 03, 2014, 02:13:54 PM
that's true.  the first name to come to mind is joe rogan, but it didn't happen overnight.  joe had to work hard and build an audience.  i'm not sure if art has it in him to slog through that.

I do like how motivated Art sounds--sounds full of piss and vinegar.  Plus like the long planning period he has.  That said I tend to be an optimist!  He does have an intense cult base that can help him evangelize the show--that doesn't hurt.  Despite some detractors he still has a good deal of those fans.  But regardless as long as he does a great show--I'd be happy.

Also ironic this type of show is what John Welles is going to do.

Quote from: jazmunda on February 02, 2014, 10:46:38 PM
Another comment from Art:

"Well I think I know exactly who is behind all this and when you see my choice of time slots for the new show it will be obvious. As far as the Studio is concerned I can have it together in a Week. My Health save my back is just spiffy. If you look at how this all came down it seems plain to me."

Thanks Jaz and Dort for Art Bell updates AND keeping the flame alive.  Much better than those who in a juvenile way poop or piss on anything Art nowadays!  Art did say he was going to broadcast asap AND I always thought he wouldn't make this unnecessary pledge unless he thought to do it.  And this just verifies that.

That said--about the viability of an internet broadcast?  Don't know how huge it could get--but there are those who do get huge podcast numbers.  And the IMPORTANT point would be Art making his "art"--quality is nothing to sneeze at even if not getting quite the numbers of the past.

I'd be listening.

Personally I loved the Art Bell Sirius shows--it didn't have anything to do with believing them or not, back then or now.  Some stuff I think is possible and some pure nonsense but it was still entertaining with a great host.  And Art still had it on Sirius.

Quote from: SixWeekTenure on December 01, 2013, 11:55:01 PM
I would never say 90's Art Bell didn't have a flawed show. Just the other day I listened to the Harlot episode (23/10/1997) and found a dreadful interview with a musician and multiple ads for gold (just like George today) or health products as well as stupid callers that interrupt the guest, things I tend to forget over the years when the highlights remain. Later on when he would pop in on Coast to Coast on a semi-regular basis he was tired, short-tempered and not fun to listen to whatsoever. As I said before, if he returns I hope it's with good intentions and he's there not to stress over call volume but only tries to put on an interesting and thought provoking program.

To me, Art didn't always have great or even good guests...that wasn't the point.  Art is why I tuned in.  He was always at the least...good and often much more.

With regards to Art not being involved in the Network...that is no surprise.  He said Keith would be doing the heavy lifting.   I didn't expect him to do anything with it.

And that has NOTHING to do if he goes back in 2 years...what Art does regarding this network mean nothing about his return.

Art said he's coming back within 2 years and i'll take him at his word(at least for now...unless something real comes up)...I see nothing here that changes that.

Quote from: Agothx on November 26, 2013, 11:43:35 AM
Art Bell is like 68 years old right? with a bit of optimism he could have 30 more years on the air, he seems to be at pretty good health for his age. Read there is a 94 year old radio host still on the air:)

Well, lets get a couple of years in AND then go from there.

Quote from: Philosopher on November 26, 2013, 10:47:59 AM

Peace my friend.

Have to work on my tone!  Was going for frank, not pissed.

Quote from: McPhallus on November 26, 2013, 08:16:24 AM
I agree.  Art ought to stop engaging the trolls AND the "Art can do no wrong" sycophants.  He's really demeaning himself by taking part in this thread.

Thanks for slandering and looking down on everyone here.  Firstly right now there is just one person trolling on here AND most are NOT "Art can do no wrong" sycophants.  A few are, most aren't.  But thanks for the straw man attack and sneer.

Art--have you ever watched SUPERNATURAL?

Quote from: Mr. Hanky on November 25, 2013, 10:48:15 PM
It's a free forum. Ignore me then.

Trying to point you in a better direction--unless you just want to be an attention whore.

#1: I am not a reincarnation of DP or anyone.
#2: I never directed anything towards you. I am an Art Bell fan. I have a problem with the people hijacking this thread for any purpose other than discussing "Art Bell Quits Dark Matter". Understand?

No one is interested--so how about giving it a rest?  No need fighting a losing cause--go on to something more productive.

Quote from: Art Bell on November 25, 2013, 10:35:20 PM
Mr. Poop is just trying to distract you, he might even be a reincarnation of DP.
My advice is carry on. Remember a Troll is born every second in America.

                                                                            Art

Absolutely Art--'tis the reality of online life.  Glad you see the wisdom of just blowing it off like so much dried up poop.

Quote from: jazmunda on November 25, 2013, 04:52:23 AM
I downloaded an app that reminds me loudly every 5 minutes.


Everything's OK Alarm! (10 Minutes)

LOL!

Cool guys--thanks for the clock info.  Don't want to look there too often though--will make the time seem to go slower!  Once every couple weeks should do.

Did someone say there was a Art Bell returns countdown clock?  Or did I misread that?

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on November 25, 2013, 03:45:36 AM

Easy; don't listen to his show.. It really is that simple. Looking at him/ the show objectively, at least he bothers to do a show.

So there are a few Art Bell sycophants are a site now called Bellgab--how shocking!  Big deal and again most don't go to that extreme...most are simply strong fans without any ass kissing.  But isn't it great that we have you here to set everyone straight.  Again there is no harm in it.

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on November 25, 2013, 02:39:30 AM
Hate is a waste of emotional energy. As for me I don't dislike Art Bell, (or Noory for that matter), but unless he's fundamentally totally self absorbed and spends all day looking in the mirror, preening; I would imagine that AB feels quite squeamish at some of the toe curling and frankly embarrassing expressions of fawning in these parts.
I'm not saying anyone shouldn't be admired or respected, but really, there's a limit, especially when that same persons obvious flaws are disregarded, yet someone else only has to fart and they have the most vile and deeply offensive vitriol rained down on them..I ask if those making such remarks would like the same said of them, and how they would feel?

Just saying there may be a few that go overboard here--I don't see most as being a sycophant.  A bit of a wide brush there.  And anyway of all places for it to be understandable--a place NOW called BELLGAB, would make sense.  But yes it may go overboard at times...just at times though.   Anyway, fandom excess does little harm.

Quote from: Yorkshire pud on November 24, 2013, 08:21:33 AM
I didn't say they depressed me; I said the sycophancy was depressing, as a state. As for meds; s'okay, I'm sorted for them..which begs the question: Are the sycophants?

YP--I hope you are aware that you can be an Art Bell fan without being a sycophant.  And IF one doesn't have to agree with your take on things, doesn't mean they need to be slandered into a straw man characterization. 

There is a huge spectrum between hater to sycophant.

Man the barricades !!!

Art, extinguish your telephone and your streaming network before the Down Under Destroyer Demolishes all you've worked for !!!

I think it's Jazmunda's accent--it reverberates.

Is there more Dark Shit or Dark Matter in the Universe?

Quote from: Art Bell on November 23, 2013, 11:41:15 PM
It's ok, trust me I can take care of myself. I have dealt with wack jobs like that
for Years.

                                                                             Art

Okay Art--though leaving the troll stewing in his own stanky juices is the best revenge imo.

Quote from: Art Bell on November 23, 2013, 11:35:19 PM
Ok,

I am done with Dark Dipshit. He has proven he is not here to talk about my Radio work or
anything like it. After making that remark about my Wife I am done talking with or about him,
unless he wants a face to face meeting.

                                                                                            Art

Art--If I were you I wouldn't let that wacko anywhere near yourself...just saying, LOL.

Nor is the topic.  It is old and getting boring.

And unproductive and self-indulgent.

Quote from: Jocko Johnson on November 23, 2013, 11:22:34 PM
No way...Art nail these creeps. We try but you are the guy so it comes from you its the real deal.
I really like the new bell gab Art!!!!!

Art paying attention to the creeps, only makes them post more.   They are not worth attention.
