He'll just get some of his guys in there that have their own opinions and then just adopt them as his own. Jimmy mentioned he liked Johnny Cash once, then what'd ya know, Opie is now all in with the Johnny Cash!
ME: I've BEEN sahyin this fhor yeurs!!! Lanyard Skinnerd akr Schoooo undarated. sniff
ME: When Simpleton comes on, I have to shut evuryone up and turn it up, as, loud, as, it will, go! Evury......one, evuryone....hew knowz me...wood tell'ya. sniff
What the fuck is there to "work on" exactly? It's not like he's going investigate this 3 string guitar playing djembe player he discovered one night drinking moonshine in a dive bar in New Orleans. It'll be essentially using an iTunes 'Genius playlist' and then reading the bands Wikipedia pages before introing the song.
He's honestly been saying that for years. Like, those exact bands too. Also, I'm pretty sure the only Johnny Cash song he actually knows is the cover he did of Hurt.
I've always said that what the world needs is another old man with barely a basic grasp on music knowledge to host a show where he talks about and plays music in the year 2016 where you can literally find anything that was ever made in 2 seconds.
For someone who admittedly can't do radio unless he has a lot of help, he sure likes being on radio shows. He should hang out with his wife and kids more.
I'm reminded when Ant was on vacation and he had Jay Mohr on. This guy is such a useless talent. All he could do was play what appeared to be the entirety of Siamese Dream and just basking in his taste in music. Damn, I wish I wish I could find that shitty clip now.
It would not suprise me they gave Shells a music show. XM used to be a great station. Less DJ talk, plenty of good diverse music. I used to listen to Deep Tracks and would enjoy listening to Earl Bailey. Now we have idiots like Jim Ladd who play such predictable crap. Opie is just one step away from being another idiot disc jockey.
You can thank Mel Karamzin for that. He destroyed terrestrial radio, and he did the same to sat. radio. He even bragged about it in interviews. He said, when he came on board at Sirius, he was going to monetize it just like he did terrestrial radio. So XM, which was a truly awesome platform (The only time I've ever heard Frank Zappa on the radio was on XM), got merged with Sirius, the decent channels were dropped (XM had an excellent punk channel), and we got corporate playlists (Woo - AC/DC, Pearl Jam and Metallica, 24/7!), annoying jocks, commercials, and just pure crap. New music? What's that?
It's enraging. XM was run by people who knew radio, and loved music, and seemed to be passionate about what they did. When's the last time Sirius bothered to put out a new player? Xm was doing cool things with hardware, Sirius doesnt bother. Ever since Mel Karmazin took over, the service got shittier and blander and more crappy, just like the terrestrial stations he destroyed.
Now, the new owners just seem to...I don't even know what they're doing. I think the burden of Howard's contract has stifled budgets for anything creative, and the new owners don't seem to care about doing more than signing contracts to car manufacturers.
I fucking loved XM. I bought it early, after one day during my commute I realized that in the 45 minutes I was driving, my local "classic rock" station played exactly one song. The rest was commercials. Fuck. That. (Yes, it was a Mel Karmazin station, too.) XM was awesome. TONS of music. Stuff I'd never heard on radio before.
Now? I don't own a radio. I'm serious, for the first time in my life, for the last couple of years, I don't own a radio, except for my car, which is playing music and podcasts from my phone, the stations presets are what they were from the factory. No stereo tuner, no sat. radio.
He's honestly been saying that for years. Like, those exact bands too. Also, I'm pretty sure the only Johnny Cash song he actually knows is the cover he did of Hurt.

Non-opinions about the news, non-opinions about documentrees now non-opinions on music.
He's the total package.

I was just going to post this. He actually said this, this morning and a few hours later announces he is doing a music show?
3 maloonigans 2016-01-26
Yet another thing he ripped off Bennington. They just started doing a music show- GPS.
Congrats Opie - maybe one day you'll figure out why Ron doesn't respect you.
1 acrolos 2016-01-26
Ron is doing a music show? What channel is it on?
1 maloonigans 2016-01-26
GPS with Bennington on Deep Tracks

I guess the doc show was too difficult to keep up and he needs to fill Sam's old time slot.
1 FootThingOnHisFoot 2016-01-26
The stingles are fucking off,he can't do it on his own.
2 fishcado 2016-01-26
Pearl Jam and Pumpkins on heavy rotation.
I'm reminded when Ant was on vacation and he had Jay Mohr on. This guy is such a useless talent. All he could do was play what appeared to be the entirety of Siamese Dream and just basking in his taste in music. Damn, I wish I wish I could find that shitty clip now.

I wonder what deep cuts the opster will play
3 jf_ftw 2016-01-26
He's got "Jeremy" by Pearl Jam cued up, gonna go fucking deeeeeeep.

Hey Opster how did that documentree show go? Oh that good huh?
2 DoubleGuns 2016-01-26
The other week he said someone requested an Oasis song to start the show via Twitter. He chose "Wonderwall". This is all you need to know about Opie.
