Loved Art, I used to listen to him , he lived in Nevada in the desert ..
Rip. He got unwanted attention
West of the Rockies…you’re on the air
This guy got me through thousands of hours delivering pizza until 4am in the 90s. George Knorry made me change the station.
He used to interview, and take calls from straight lunatics. It was great to listen to on 3rd shift.
Art got me into listening to talk radio back in the 80s – i still listen to his classics shows on the podcast. hope he’s in a better place cranking up his ham radio and chain smoking
“Hello Caller, you’re on the air.”
I miss this show. George Noory is not the same.
Midnight in the desert…🎵
From the high desert!!
Some of the shit was out of control but was interesting enough to keep me awake on long commutes.
I listened to him from 2001 to 2007 or 2008 when he “retired” from c2cam for the last time. I didn’t listen every show but a lot of them. Ian Punnet was a good one too. George isn’t bad but I’m in a different job now. That radio show made the night bearable a lot of times.
As a youth in the early 90s, maybe 7 or 8 yo, I found Art Bell one night when I couldn’t sleep and was just scrolling the dial on my radio. It was like a little secret treasure that no one else knew about and as creepy as it was, I loved it.
Art Bell. Classic.
As a kid I saved up and bought a AOR 1000XLT scanner and a big antenna to put up on the chimney. Found Art Bell in the middle of the night and was a life long listener after that.
When I was a kids in the sixties I use to listen to a radio show called The Shadow
Art was a radio legend and I miss him.
I fell asleep to this show from 1997-2003. Terence McKenna was my fav guest.
Vegas has never been the same without him! Just the best. Fantastic radio legend who got me through so many graveyard shifts at work. (Listen closely…can you hear it? The theme from “Midnight Express!” I swear I hear it!)
He was the Internet before the Internet. Thank you for posting this. Great memories. (720 on the AM dial in Vegas, right?)
Art was bleeding edge. In the mid 90s, he had real audio player recordings of interviews and show segments on his website. Truly ahead of his time.
He had a great voice and show. Sometimes you could tell he didn’t believe his guests crap.
This is back when conspiracy theories were fun
There was something special about tuning your radio dial in the middle of the night to hear the pure craziness that Art and his guests embodied. Those days are gone now, and we’re poorer for it.
Thanks for reminding me of this legend
Late 90s, I think. “The Quickening,” the book in the middle, came out in the late 90s.
The great thing about Art was that you thought he believed none of it, and also all of it. “Some of it” was a boring option.
This reminds me of coding all night and streaming live from his website.
Now this takes me back to the late 90s and Y2K mania.
Thank You OP. This guy needs to be brought up. He always had the most content of the continental continuum with conundrums consistently…….
I love his cameo in the original Prey video game.
Mel s hole gets deeper each time we look.
My second job ever, was working at a very small AM Talk radio station. I remember being there at night after making sure some special broadcast was fed in and ran properly. Then, if it was late enough, I would patch back from the event into Art Bell’s show. He had one hell of a voice. I remember being creeped out quite often. But also remember loving his voice. Also remember his constant Y2K scare shows leading up to the year 2000. Good times, good times.
Du du du-du du-du du du du -du du doo doo
But where’s Deliiiiiiilaaaaaah?
Art taught me how to use ham radio when I was 12, he lived in my town. I didn’t know who he was until later
Too bad he jump started Alex Jones career
His conversations with John Lear were the stuff of legends…….
I still have both my autographed books from him on the shelf. I always loved long night time car rides with my mom where she would always put on Art Bell. Not sure when we completely jumped from Bruce William’s TalkNet (full episodes available on youtube btw), but it was all Coast to Coast and Dreamland for us after that. I was able to get on air a couple times when I was younger when he would open the Alien Hotline. So good.. miss that show.
I miss Art Bell. He had a velvet tone in his voice and he was a master of suspense. And his bumper music was always compelling. His career was savaged by an unfounded hoax/rumor perpetrated by a secret government agency in order to discredit him because he came too close to the truth about UFOs. Or so I’ve heard. (from Art Bell’s own lips).
Love Art!! He’s my bedtime listening
His best shows were his yearly Ghost to Ghost shows for Halloween. They’re on youtube. Great time to check them out.
Good ol’ Art Bell. What a legend.
