the new john peel.

[davethedrummer]

so when john peel finally hangs up his headphones
who do you think has the right to take his place?

[quazkvas]

me likely but still hesitate :\

[Col]

jimmy saville. hes waited long enough.

[dan the acid man]

to be honest, at this moment in time, i cant see who could

[Frank Dogshit]

dave clarke :rambo:

[Traxx]

Because nobody could or will be able to fill his shoes i dont think. Who ever gets it is gonna have his or her's own ideas! hopefully!

I think it would be a bit wank if someboby just tried to be John peel dont you lot?

Anyway as to who i think will get it, if they go in house which they usualy do then that Zane lowe would prob get it in my opninion. I couldnt tell you if he was any good though i aint listend to radio 1 for a long time.

[Frank Dogshit]

what other dj is gonna go from some old dizzy gillespie jazz track to some crazy happy hardcore track that hes stole out of his sons bedroom?

it just aint possible unless your john peel! :clap:

[ANDROID]

CHRIS LIBERATOR & GEEZER ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!

[Si the Sigh]

I don't think anyone could replace J.P

He's the man! :clap:

[Ritzi Lee]

2 Dave: I'm i missing something?
Or is it just a hypothetical question?

[Esox Lucius]

John Peel is unreplaceable, there is only one JP :cool:

[DJ Weiss]

Mark Ratcliff of mark and lard fame... he even sounds like him when he's doing serious stuff, not quite sure if he's got such a ecleptic musical taste tho.

[Si the Sigh]

Talking of Mark & Lard, what the hell happened to them? With out any warning, they get dropped by Radio 1 & moved to Radio 2 minus the boy Lard. What was that all about? :eh:

[tioneb]

dave clarke :rambo:

that's probably a joke, but on a more serious way this is a very good idea !

dave has a huge musical culture and always pays interest in new / upcoming stuff. he's into (with ppl like all the techno godfathers) a really broad range of music styles.

everyone who got old mixtapes of jeff mills aka the wizzard, or who tuned on the arly (or even recent) laurent garnier's radio show would be really happy to hear what could do clarke in a similar exercise.

too bad mr cox (who has also an extraodinary musical background) doesnt do this often with his "global" show

[djfurness]

theres only one john peel
i dont think he'll ever retire anyways......he just loves music too much!!!!!!!

[Ritzi Lee]

Joehoe!?!?!
Can somebody tell what the F***K ya'll talking about??

[anx]

i hope i dont get flamed for this

but who the hell is john peel

like, i've heard of john peel sessions on many occasions

maybe cause i've been sheltered in canada my whole life???

[jonnyspeed]

well nobody has come close in the last 30-40 years so it will be difficult - true understanding of the quality in any music. rare genius. I hate loads of stuff he plays - but I know he knows his stuff when he plays the best of the stuff you like....

[Rhys]

i hope i dont get flamed for this

[DJ Weiss]

Talking of Mark & Lard, what the hell happened to them? With out any warning, they get dropped by Radio 1 & moved to Radio 2 minus the boy Lard. What was that all about? :eh:

they had about a 6 months warning.. Lard does a show on 6 music, at the weekends i think... what a great loss to broadcasting.. they rocked it big stylee everyday

[Frank Dogshit]

[davethedrummer]

just quickly to pint out that this is a really old thread written before he died
so please don't think any of the earlier answers are cold - hearted in any way.
i honestly don't think that anyone expected john peel to die at such a young age and we certainly never expected to be having this conversation for real.

r.i.p. john peel.
the grandfather of individual taste in music , hilarious studio technical problems , and playing records at the wrong speed.
he will be sadly missed.

:cry:

[OriginalTechnobastard]

bit too early for this kind of topic don`t you think fellas :shock: ?

[Frank Dogshit]

the whole point of bringing this topic up was for the good things said about the man before he actually died.

[OriginalTechnobastard]

:doh:
still shouldn`t be upped

[Frank Dogshit]

shut up

[disco diva]

:doh:
still shouldn`t be upped

& please, pray tell why!!?? It was an old thread & most people on the thread are in agreement that no-one could replace the great, late John Peel. ;)

[Esox Lucius]

no one will ever be able to replace john, i hope r1 dont try and get someone to fill his shoes as it is not possible....they should start a whole new show.

[OriginalTechnobastard]

:doh:
still shouldn`t be upped

& please, pray tell why!!?? It was an old thread & most people on the thread are in agreement that no-one could replace the great, late John Peel. ;)

Yeah I know they are saying good things about him, it just doesn`t sit comfortabl with me seeing the topic read the new John Peel.


Frankie go eat some dog dodo

[OriginalTechnobastard]

;)

No can replace what John Peel has done. I don`t think there ever will be someone with such influence on underground music.


All the best

mark maybe we could erase this for now? it just doesn't sit right after such a great loss. :cry:
