Topic: The Best Guest Ever..

[Stevenqbosell]

Listening to Arts 11-12-2006 show with Ronald Mallett - I can't believe I never really listened to his shows before, the fella is fascinating... Time travel being one of my favorite Art Bell topics, Art's having a great interview.

Love this guy

[Romair]

I will go with Malachi Martin, but there are many great ones.

[HorrorReporter]

Ahhh.. Those long nights of listening to the smoke filled Bell studio, hearing the strange stories from Martin... Good old days.

Jesus, you people are making me teary eyed. Smoke filled studio? Real interviews? What did I miss out on! That is the type of radio I spend my nights dreaming of! I have to force myself to take Noory seriously most of the time and only for the sheer lack of entertainment. I always imagined that somewhere out there was a radio show that wasn't selling me something. I'm in need of night time company and stories of the unexplained more so than I am in need of buying food stuffs and seeds from some crazy post-apocalyptic-survivalist. Stop selling me shit, C2C and do the fucking interview like professional journalists. If your guest is a moron, hang up.

Oh, and my favorite guest thus far is any of the actual astronomers or physicists they have on not nearly enough. Though I must admit I'm intrigued by this Harlot. And I can tolerate Linda Howe more so than others because, at the very least, she seems to take her work somewhat seriously.

My favorite guests in no particular order would be:

Father Malachi Martin (anything)
Michio Kaku (anything)
George Carlin
Dean Koontz
Willie Nelson
Merle Haggard
Al Bielek (The Philadelphia Experiment.  6/10/93.  I love this show.)
Preston Nichols  (Philadelphia Experiment and the Montauk Project. 5/27/94)
Scott Portzline (The Three Mile Island Nuclear Incident 1/28/97)
Leonard Horowitz (Emerging Viruses. 11/23/96)
Travis Walton and Mike Rogers (The "Fire in the Sky" Abductees 4/9/95)
Kenny Young (Trumbull County UFO Recordings. 2/26/99)
Kevin Mitnick (Hacking and Security, 2/10/04....snorry interview but great guest)
Helen Morrison (Serial Killers. 3/09/05...snorry interview but a great guest)

There are more but these are my favorite guests

I like the Thunderbolts of the Gods/Electric Universe dudes, and the interview Ian did of the guy investigating Sonny Bono's assassination,  and the Ed Haslam/Judith Vary Baker interview about Oswald, JFK, and the Monkey virus.  Also, whatever became of those web-bot cats who said the shit would hit the fan in May or something, culminating around Nov. 8th?

[fysisist]

Mostly all good calls, my opinion.  I'm no fan of Jim Sparks, but that show did pull me in.  What about the guy who claimed he and his buddies killed Bigfoot?  I think Bugs was his handle. 

Just in general, it is fun to listen to the old shows, if for no other reason than to see what Art and guests were predicting for the world back at that time as far as global warming, wars, cataclysms, etc.  The pre-Y2K shows are pretty interesting.

the interview Ian did of the guy investigating Sonny Bono's assassination,

I really liked that one too.

I didn't like Bono as a politician, (mostly because of his totally unconstitutional stand on coyright issues) and thought he was only a moderately talented artist. Frankly, I was dumbfounded by the idea that he had enough influence to warrent such extreme measures.

I probably don't have a favorite guest. Harlot was the only one who truly frightened me, and the way that Bell handled her made me regret missing Coast's Golden Era (caught the show's replay). You could sense how angry and bitter she was. Her hate was palpable. It was like demonic waves came through the radio when she spewed her venomous bile. She sounded like the real thing to me, not some paid actress. If she *was* acting, she was much better than the standard Ivans and Cookie Monsters who pretend to worship the devil. She was the satanic Yin to Fiona Horne's New Age Yang.

There are so many great guests to choose from. Hall and the schizophrenic guest (can't recall his name) were both very fascinating. Both men mentioned gang stalking, and they made it seem so real that I almost started to believe that I was being followed by groups of people. Their segments were the antitheses of background chatter.
