George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Catsmile]

Hell he records his mistakes for posterity... who here has that kind of self assurance?

Pay someone enough and they wouldn't care.
(cough)Noorie(cough)

[Catsmile]

This is rife with eye pad goodness

Paper*Boy already covered in in the eye pad thread.

[ziznak]

man... Wilcock is a real douchbag.  He's David Spades evil twin.  Yeah right? an already known egotrip douchebag's evil twin.  Edgar Cayce my ass.

[onan]

Crap I missed out on page 1000 of this thread! Crap I have to get a Sirius subscription!  Crap George Noory SUX!  Crap I missed you fine weirdos!

(What a crappy first re-post)

Crap, Aldous is back. 

I dunno whether to hug ya or smack ya... man, I am happy to see you.

[Juan]

1. Aldous is back.
2. SciFi - don't count on Cheap Channel paying better than 3rd rate scifi writing. I once worked for them.
3. SciFi - Many of us have written thoughtful, constructive emails to George and have received illiterate, non-punctuated, ellipses filled replies calling us haters.
4. Myself and others have asked George substantive questions in both this thread and the Questions for George Noory thread.  I have yet to see one answered.

Obviously, the reason can only be that George Noory sucks.

     Lauren Weintsein  says the U.S. is getting about one tenth internet speed as the rest of the civilized world.  Thank you, Comcast, for continuing to screw me.  We've all heard that tidbit about how our cell phones have more computing power than what was aboard the Apollo capsules; tonight Peter Cochrane  laser focused this concept even further by saying that there is more computing power in one smart phone than existed in the entire world in 1956.  Mind.  Blowing.  I found David Wilcox's  concept of "fractals in history" interesting (if there are fractals in nature, why not sociology?), but the "life is a hologram" thing I really didn't get.  George added nothing to the show tonight.  All questions already answered.  All attempts to speculate on the future occurred ten years ago.  Google "eyewear," George?  Do you not know the name of those things?

Ok, so if you wanted to improve your product, how would you phrase it?

Try telling him that. Write a businesslike letter, like we would in real life, and tell him your complaints. Do it privately in PM or publically on here and see what happens. If it seems that you had no effect, then attack the hell out of him. You'd have a basis then.

Remember that scene in Star Wars, when our heroes dive into the trash compactor?
Han raises his blaster.
Luke shouts "No, wait!"
<<Blaster fire bounces around>>
Luke: "Will you forget it? I already tried it. It's magnetically sealed!"

Then why are you bothering with a "George Noory Sucks" thread? Bored? You must have a reason to post. If you don't care, especially in light of Art's return, then why?

There are a lot of people in this thread, about 75%, wearing their psychology on their sleeve. Well, I won't do that. Fair is fair and reality is reality. I made it clear that I wouldn't have ever bothered to post if Noory wasn't present. Why did I bother when Noory showed up? Because I knew I could either have an effect and give myself 7 hours of programming to my tastes, or I wouldn't have an effect, and it was only a little time lost. So what, seemed worth it. But if you're going to spend god knows how many hours detracting from Noory, photoshopping, making audio files that have no other purpose than to excite one or two people on a forum, well, it's a pretty good bet that you're more screwed up in the head than the guy that's being paid 7 figures. Isn't it?

You should have seen the English Football forums when Tom Hicks owned Liverpool F.C., same thing. Why do you continue to support Liverpool if you are always complaining about it? It worked for them. It looks like its going to work for us, too.

(cough)Noorie(cough)

Yeah, I realized soon after posting, the second part of the statement was ambiguous. I meant to be sarcastic. Noory has never cared in any substantive form. He is a swirling mass of apathy and ignorance towards himself and his audience.

[Mind Flayer Monk]

and if 1/200th of George's listenership knew this was going on, this forum would grow exponentially over a matter of days. It pays to remember that.

You can talk to GN all the time if you are a coast insider with the weekly chats. Its not a rare thing.

[Jesus Undercarriage]

Oh please God no!
Thanks Everyone!!

Thanks for registering today just  to call this "bit Lame" Jesus Undercarriage.
It made my day!
Man, is that commitment or what!
Welcome, post often!

No problem Moonbeam. I have been reading this forum for about a month or so now. I considered signing up a few times but when I heard your lame song I thought I'd make the effort. I hope your fans made you feel that all the time it took you was well spent. I liked the bit where he said I'm David Noory.

[Jesus Undercarriage]

Go back, click his name, click posts and here is what you see:

George Post 47

"Can I grow, fine tune, absolutely ---Have I made mistakes.....he who hasnt cast the first stone."

George Post 51

"actually Dave has decided to kick it up a notch because of all of you.
Thank you!...I found something I lost a long long time ago. "

George Post 53

"Look Ive reached out to you, I WANT this better, I actually care about your concerns or Id have stayed far away. "

George Post 56

"Now can I improve? Absolutely "

George Post 64

"Not the true hater, I cant learn from them , but many many of you who listen day in and day out,---that's who I want to listen to."

"If someone doesnt think they can grow and learn everyday then they are kidding themselves. Bellgabers, I am far from perfect
and realize that I can get better."

George Post 73

"why did I wait 10 years...because I was wrong "

George Post 74

"Roy...im doing this because I care about every listener....and if you are upset with the show..then its high time to find out why."

George Post 84

"Regardless of whether you continue to listen to me or not.......those of you who have truly offered constructive criticism...I do appreciate it..anyone who cant grow and learn has a closed mind."

George Post 86

"Saucy you can email me constructive criticism all day---I relish it...I learn from...it"


The guy bent over backwards, and you guys blew it big time. I've never actually seen a group of people blow it like that (Not all of you!). You're like the people in the 90's that said "Bah, Apple won't come back. Don't buy that stock at $30/share!"

I tend to agree with this. George came onto this thread and tried to talk to people so he must have some concern or he would not have bothered.
Art was not the perfect amazing host a lot of people seem to remember him although I am looking forward to Art's new show too.
In the UK here we have nothing but mainstream radio, I mean talk shows have people talking about "Wheelie Bins being stolen" and "How much noise does you kettle make?" This is cutting edge in UK radio look up Jeremy Vine or Steve Wright, now that is shit.
You don't seem to realise what you have with Coast. Yes some of the things said about George I agree with but I would not just start abusing the fella in a public forum, particularly after he came here to hear your complaints. I suspect many people do not want Coast to be improved, you just want to make yourselves feel good by getting a bit of praise for your little photoshop pictures and lame songs.
It's pretty fucking simple, if you don't like then don't listen. You say more about yourself than you do about George with your abuse.

P.S. This is the funniest thing George ever said.

Liverpool FC, Tom Hicks

I tend to agree with this. Tom Hicks came onto this thread and tried to talk to people so he must have some concern or he would not have bothered.
John Moores was not the perfect amazing owner a lot of people seem to remember him although I am looking forward to Moores' new show too.

It's pretty fucking simple, if you don't like then don't watch. You say more about yourself than you do about Tom Hicks with your abuse.

Now imagine Tom Hicks owning Liverpool for 10 years instead of 3 years.

I'm sure this is all true, but having never heard of Tom Hicks I would not know. I don't follow "soccer". Maybe your analogy works, who knows?

Wow! I never expected to find myself discussing The Mighty Reds on here!
I don't think the situation is analogous. Hicks, along with his partner in crime, George Gillette, was a scheister - sorry, a 'leveraged buy-out businessman' - who bought LFC with money he didn't have and placed all the debt and the interest payments on that debt on the club (Americans might recall his period as owner of the Texas Rangers: similar tale, I think). He lied to to the fans about building a new stadium and lied to the manager about making funds available.
If anything, he equates more to PremRat than to Noory. Roy Hodgson would be Liverpool's George.
Bravo to Paper*Boy, btw, for taking on SFA. Despite protestations to the contrary, I certainly had it pegged as a PremRatter: Lisa or Val or someone. It felt like Gnoory had been told to back off, and this certainly came across as the corporate voice. It certainly underlined again what has been voiced and illustrated so many times here. Namely that PremRat care only about the bottom line and the numbers and could give a flying fuck for the quality..
One last note. As I listen to Coast on my Tune-In Radio app on my iPhone, I move between stations and recently landed on WCBM Baltimore. They have a pre-recorded puff from Noory that plays just before they go back into the show. 'Now on WCBM, Coast To Coast AM with George Noory', something like that. On Sunday, I was listening to Knapp and incensed to hear him pop up after the news and weather. 'Now, on WCBM, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory'. Shameless, and so revealing. Would it have killed him to record another version? Something like 'This is George Noory. You're listening to C2C AM on WCBM, tonight with George Knapp.' I'd venture a genuine professional would have done, not an egotistical monster like Noory.

Dear George -

After that whole "harmness is a word" debacle, you will never gain my respect.

As a librarian, I sent you a very nice email explaining that "harmness" is not a word. I sent the email after you asked listeners if harmess was indeed a word. The answer is no - it is not. In return, you replied by sending me an extremely rude and obnoxious email, and in doing so, you also called me a "hater." You called me a "hater" because I was giving you correct information? If that's the case, then I'm proud to be the President of the George Noory Haters Club/Midwest Division.

I am a writer. I also edit the work of other writers all day long, and as part of my job, I communicate with people on a daily basis. In fact, most of my day is spent online, forming working relationships with people I have never met. If I were to respond to emails I receive in the same manner that you seem to do, I would have lost money, time and resources, as well as a staff of writers a very long time ago.

Since you are not answering hard pressed and intelligent questions that some members of this forum are putting to you, it's my opinion that you are here simply to cover your ass.  You're just here to smooth things over without really doing anything at all - kind of like that night job you have.

You sir, could take a few lessons in humility and professionalism.

That is all.

Could you possibly copy and paste Georges reply email here for us to see? I think I heard that harmness is a word show, can you remember when it was I'd like to hear that one again, hilarious.

[shell88]

  I tune in every now and again to c2c out of habit and to listen to what some of the guests have to say.  As a long time Art Bell listener, and embarrassed periodic coast to coast drop in,  I have to think that George is actually mentally challenged and just isn't capable of providing the intellectual stimulation we are asking of him.  You cant get blood out of a stone.  He's not going to raise the show's intellectual quality simply because he's not competent enough.  I'm not surprised at this seeing all the trash that's on tv. Most of the radio shows are trash too.  This is why Art stands out from the rest - he's actually got a brain that functions at a higher level than most.
  I'm led to believe the only reason Snorey visits this forum is to steal ideas and obtain more glue so he can secure his feet more firmly to the coat tails Art.  He's already started to play more of Art's favorites (miracles by starship being one of them, velvet morning by Diamond the other) They played synchronicity by the police last night when the topic was synchronicity.  The only direction for Snoory is to try to become more like Art - interesting times! 
  The guests on Snoory's show have to be relieved Art is coming back.  They'll finally have a forum where their ideas will be challenged and explored with respect, interest and honesty. They need and they will no longer have to carry the show by themselves - George is not a host.  I'm looking forward to Art returning.  I will no longer put myself through the painful process of having to listen to George interrupting his guests all the time.
  I'm just learning how to post on this forum. I'm not sure if I'm going to drag a quote along with this.  I didn't want one.

[SciFiAuthor]

The reason I first knew George Noory Sucked was because I did send a few polite . . .

Most of the last 100 pages of posts were attacks and troll bullshit though. Not all of it, but most of it. How would you react to that? Most people would react defensively.

Yes, Noory is not a great interviewer. That can change. If it doesn't, then you know he doesn't care or simply can't do it, but as I pointed out, the guy bent over backwards asking for constructive criticism and was largely rebuffed. Most of the people here--not all--responded with some level of snide commentary or rudeness . . . for absolutely no reason.

I just don't see the point of that. We could have had a positive effect, or no effect at all. Instead, most of the posters pushed for a negative effect right off the bat. Well, that doesn't do anyone any good.

[ItsOver]

.... - George is not a host.  I'm looking forward to Art returning.  I will no longer put myself through the painful process of having to listen to George interrupting his guests all the time....
 

Therein lies the big problem.  Jorch is not a host.  His best shows, if there are such things, have been when he's kept his mouth shut most of the time.  Not only is there no value added with Jorch, there's always the net loss.  Jorch does nothing but detract from any show.  PremRat would be better off having the guest just show up and start talking.

[SciFiAuthor]

I can say that he shouted out CoastGab so that's one reason.  I can say I'm interested in finding like minds that think he is atrocious so that's two I could say that I read all if his posts here and found them a joke and simply had to speak out that's three I could say he sucks now more than ever and I was on a quest to find out why out of curiosity and that's four I could say that watching you post and than reading the bullshit you wrote made me post and that's five...

I can't keep going it might annoy people when my post fills nearly half a page, ahem.

I don't buy it. People have motives, and some people's motives are anger and negativity. When the old Art hating boards show back up, of which there used to be many, I'm guessing that the vehement Noory haters here will be over there hating on Art within six months. It's just the nature of this stuff.

As far as long posts, sorry, I don't believe in dumbing things down. I believe in articulate posting that cannot be misconstrued as opposed to the caveman grunting that most people use to communicate on the internet.

Keep in mind that this is an open forum!
Many different opinions and motivations.
It can't always be perfect, well, it never really is.
The people who wanted to curse and yell at him, DID, others asked questions and posted suggestions in a nice, and not so nice way. Still others trolled and called us sellouts for giving George any credit, which IMO, he deserves for joining us, and posting here.

I don't understand what it is you are not getting.  Everything you've said about the posts here are demonstrably false.  Because of that, and since so many of the new posters have turned out to be trolls, I suspect this is the case with you as well.   


Yes, there were a few attacks, not all that many considering the name of the thread, and it was only a few posters.  Most of the people that reacted negatively to George's presence didn't 'attack' him at all, they chided the rest of us for engaging with him.  George did not react 'defensively' to the few attacks, he mostly ignored them - he was likely shocked there were so few.  I know I was.

If George wanted to change and become a better interviewer, he would have long ago.  People already know he is not capable of it and doesn't care anyway.  He did absolutely nothing to convince anyone otherwise.  He didn't even try to.  He didn't bend over backwards asking for constructive criticism, he ignored it when he got some.

... When the old Art hating boards show back up, of which there used to be many, I'm guessing that the vehement Noory haters here will be over there hating on Art within six months. It's just the nature of this stuff...

Have a nice lunch, Tommy. 

Next time you're pretending to be a writer, try to remember that writers read a lot and read with comprehension.  If you weren't a troll, you would have had a better grasp of the posts you are commenting on.
