Axl talk on Howard Stern today

[dalsh327]

Seacrest isn't King anything.

Ryan Seacrest is the new Dick Clark, and is HUGE. I have no idea what you are saying. I am no fan, but he is everywhere.

Even Limbaugh had fill-ins to keep the show going live.

Rush gets 15 million veiwers. Axl would be better off doing his show. Rush takes bigger shits than Howards ratings.

Howard's not really looking to be relevant, is he?

Howards whole career has been predicated on him being a Jay Leno some day. All he does is rip Leno, Seacrest, and Letterman etc. cause he never got that shot. He would throw Robyn out of a window for that chance. That why he hates Leno and Seacrest. Envy.

Yes i agree he comes across very arrogant, after all he's only a dj, hardly rocket science, Far too much arrogance for someone who's achieved so little in the grand scheme of things, Most people could sit on a chair and talk music.

To do it 3-4 hours a day and make it entertaining for people listening and not just for yourself? It's not that easy to do. There's a whole pacing to talk radio that goes on.

No it's not rocket science, but there is a science to the pacing of a radio show, interviewing people live, and taking calls from listeners on air. A pre recorded countdown show, any idiot can do that because all they have to do is show up and read what's in front of them.

I agree, what he did was nothing short of amazing. There was nothing like it back in the day. But now, you can watch porn on your phone in your car, you don't need to listen to Hoard ask a B list celeb or porn star to take her shirt off anymore to get titillated .

As far as Howard trying to be the next Jay Leno - not at all. Howard's forever loyal to Letterman. He did late night in the early 90s and kicked SNL's ratings in New York. Lorne Michaels even brought it up in a documentary about SNL. That's why the show changed for the better in '92 and considered one of the best eras of SNL. He tried late night again in the late 90s (not counting the E! show) and it didn't do well.

He's talked about why he won't do late night, he gets frustrated when celebrities don't answer questions he asks, and he's too used to being uncensored. He'd rather have the option to spend an hour on Letterman or Kimmel, and even that he's said he's kind of tired of doing. He has his own radio show so why does he need to give them ratings? He's his own boss, so why does he want to subject himself to the FCC again? He did some one on one interviews in the mid 90s, they were good, but without the other people from the show there, it's...meh.

I give Seacrest props for his ambition and work ethic, but he hasn't really created any sort of memorable legacy, and I feel Howard at some point will be an obscure name to people, but not forgotten. Even going into Idol, you have a few memorable names of people on the show, and a lot of forgotten names. And when people talk about the judges, it'll always be Randy, Simon and Paula. Dick Clark's New Years Eve still has Dick Clark's name on it, and at some point it could have Ryan's name on it, but I doubt it. Ryan would prob. just have his own if they won't change the name. I just think Clark doing it for as long as he did, big shoes to fill, and they could just make a Dick Clark hologram to keep the show going. Too soon, but in 3 or 4 years?

I hope Stern tears Axl a new ass hole.

Dumbass ginger.

Welcome back, Arnold.

[classicrawker]

I used to be a huge Howard Stern fan till he got all political and became an elitist snob after his wife left him and he married that Philly. Now all he does is suck up to Rosie O Donnel and make fun of retarded and disabled people.

On topic, he has MANY times talked shit about Axl, including a negative comment about Chinese Democracy. No way in Hell Axl would do his show. Not tom mention the fact that Howard has less than 1.2 million listeners per week TOTAL So that could be less the 300k per day according to Arbitron's first Satellite rating release. He had an Audience almost exponentially larger than that when he was on terrestrial radio. Not to mention when he was added to Americas Got Talent, their ratings went down.

He is always mentioning 20 million listeners etc. That is all subscribers combined, and he has very little of them. He his just king of the dipshits He is radios version of the internet banner.Just because he gets 1.2 million a week out of how many hundred channels still makes his rating less than most Hispanic radio station in a one city market. They are THAT abysmal.

Howard has no juice, horrible ratings, and just a few barnacles left. I was a fan when he was edgy, and he was revolutionary, but he has no audience and has been a smarmy dick about Axl for years. Axl would do better doing a local radio station in NY. Like Mitch Hedberg says, you can swear on satellite radio, cause nobody is listening.

I had Sirius too, 5 years ago, before Pandora.

p.s. He also just lost his lawsuit to Sirius as well. I give him credit, he made a fortune, but that shit is over.

I have been a subcriber to Sirius as soon as I heard Howard was going there and you have no idea what you are talking about mate as Sirius had 600K subscribers and was getting killed by XM when Howard signed his first contract there.

He brought so many subscribers to Sirius that it basically forced the merger with XM as they were losing people to Sirius and also new subscribers to Sirius. If Howard had not signed with Sirius it most likely would have folded and even XM may not have survived. Basically he saved satellite radio.

As far as his lawsuit is concerned he got fucked out of a bonus he was entitled to. Go do your research before you talk shit about something you know nothing about......

I can't see Axl doing Howard either as he is too big a pussy but if you know anything about Howard is he is a brilliant interviewer and knows when to back off if his questions are alienating his subject. He would do a real interview and not the fluff bullshit that Axl has done recently.

But like I said Axl is too big a pussy to ever do an no rules interview with Howard.........

Go do your research before you talk shit about something you know nothing about......

"Scroll down his Wiki entry to the brief Satellite radio section and you’ll see very little. No book deals, no TV, nothing but two channels on Sirius and a huge paycheck.

Stern’s move to satellite made him very rich but also an increasingly irrelevant talking head. Maybe that's why People declared Ryan Seacrest the new King of All Media a few years later."

http://www.radioinsi...n-relevant.html

"Howard Stern, the self-proclaimed King of All Media, has lost his crown."

"The shock jock's syndicated morning radio show once drew a national audience of 12 million, but since jumping to satellite radio three years ago, his listeners have dwindled to a fraction of that. Where once Stern routinely commanded a parade of Hollywood's hottest stars -- George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Julia Roberts -- today publicists are left to tout studio appearances by the likes of Chevy Chase, Joan Rivers or Hulk Hogan."

http://articles.lati...ment/et-stern13

" That's the TOTAL for the week, so at any given moment, Stern has maybe a few hundred thousand listeners. Anyway you look at it, that's a sorry ratings number for the former terrestrial radio god.

http://news.cnet.com...0262493-47.html"

You are the one who doesn't know what he is talking about. You cannot believe Stern, he is full of shit. I don't know what, if anything has saved sattelite radio, cause they still don't turn profit, and have been in debt since the beginning, but a 1-2 hundred thousand listeners per quarter hour is fucking pathetic. I worked in radio as an intern, and I am telling you local stations draw more than that. I have been listening to Howard stern since the late 80's, and am from NY. He is a fucking joke now. He had 12-14 million listeners on terrestrial radio, and he dropped to less than 10% of that, and it has NEVER come up. Being no 1 on Sattelite radio is like being the head baton twirler in the dork parade.

. If Howard had not signed with Sirius it most likely would have folded and even XM may not have survived

Sirius and XM merged cause their market was shrinking and thet are still dropping. They merged subscribers, downsized and cut channels to stay afloat...barely. Howard didn't save shit;

‘America’s Got Talent’ ratings take a dive with Howard Stern debut"

"Surprise: NBC’s America’s Got Talent premiered lower in the ratings this year despite the high-profile addition of Howard Stern as the show’s new judge"

http://insidetv.ew.c...g-howard-stern/

You, my freind are the one who needs to do research I don't hate Stern, he is just boring now, but no way Axl goes on a show with that small of ratings. Stern made a HUGE mistake leaving terrestrial radio as far as fans go. But he went for the money, so I dont blame him. he is not relevant and spends the majority of his time now interviewing retards, cause he has no ratings.

Look it up fucker.

I will ignore the non Sirius radio stuff you posted to try to deflect from the issue and concentrate on your claim that he is not relevant because he is on Satellite.

Seems there is a difference of opinion on the internet about just how much Howard meant to Sirius. If you read these articles they clearly make the point that he saved Sirius and satellite radio in general from oblivion.

“Howard is a great talent and we are thrilled that he will continue to provoke, engage and entertain on Sirius XM,” said Karmazin in a statement. “Howard forever changed radio and was instrumental in putting Sirius on the map when he first launched on satellite radio. He is one of the few ‘one-name’ entertainers in the country.”

Indeed, Sirius was on the brink of bankruptcy before Stern arrived. His hiring was without question the single most important event in satellite radio's short history. And though it’s impossible to determine the precise number of people who subscribe to Sirius XM solely because of Stern since the company doesn’t breakout the figures, analysts put the number between 2 million and 2.5 million.

The real number may be higher. At the end of 2005, the year before Stern began infiltrating the satellite airwaves with his raucous brand of humor and cadre of castoff characters, Sirius has 3.3 million subscribers. By the end of 2006, it had 6 million subscribers, and a year later that number had grown to 8.3 million. Now, after merging with rival XM, the company has more than 20 million subscribers. (For some perspective, that is more subscribers than Time Warner Cable or DirecTV.)

But even using the conservative estimates of Wall Street analysts, Stern is still clearly a revenue rainmaker for Sirius XM. Using the basic subscription price of $13 per month, or $156 per year, Stern loyalists account for gross annual revenue of between $312 million and $390 million, respectively. Sirius banks about 60 percent of that revenue, which means that Stern is directly responsible for between $187 million and $234 million of Sirius XM's bottom line. Using those figures, Stern has generated between $935 million and $1.2 billion in revenue for Sirius XM since the signing of his original contract.

It is not an understatement to say that Stern is the face — and, of course, the voice — of the company. In 2006, when Sirius plucked Stern away from traditional radio (with a mind-blowing offer of $500 million over years), the company was battling XM for supremacy in the new media industry of satellite radio. Thanks largely to Stern, Sirius was able to withstand XM’s challenge and the companies soon joined forces.

Yes, it sounds like a lot of money — but, in the wacky landscape of the entertainment industry, Stern is worth every penny and may wind up seeming like a bargain. He gives Sirius credibility and stability

http://articles.mark...aditional-radio

I could cut and paste more but I think you get the point. Satellite radio today would most likely not exist without Howard Stern.

Think about it mate Sirius renewed his contract again for a staggering 400 Million for 5 years and let him cut back drastically on the number of days he works. Do you think they would do that if he wasn't drawing subscibers and making them a lot of money?

And as far as him not being relevant then why do people like Paul McCartney go on his show to plug stuff? TV and radio shows would kill to get Macca on their shows so he has no shortage of suiters yet he goes on Howard Stern's irrelevant satellite show to plug his stuff? Do you really believe that?

And of course Rush has more listeners then Howard as he is on free radio. When Howard was on free radio and was syndicated he eventually went to #1 in every market he entered. And you conveniently ignore that he is the most listened to show on satellite radio and beats free stations in some cases.

The total listenership for terrestrial radio in the year 2005 was 230 million.^[3] Sirius XM Radio has a base of 18.5 million subscribers as of 2009

Sirius XM Radio was monitored directly by Arbitron from 2007 to early 2008.

The latest numbers available, from early 2008 (prior to when XM and Sirius merged), have The Howard Stern Show being the most listened-to show on either platform, with Stern's Howard 100 channel netting a "cume" of 1.2 million listeners and Howard 101 (the secondary and replay channel) netting an additional 500,000 listeners.^[16] Eastlan Ratings, a service that competes with Arbitron in several markets, includes satellite radio channels in its local ratings; Howard 100 has registered above several lower-end local stations in the markets Eastlan serves, the only satellite station to do so.^[17]

http://en.wikipedia...._radio_programs

And your point about him only abusing retards on his shows now is BS as he has used the same programming formula most of his career and it is nothing new.

Howard Stern is very polarizing and you either appreciate his brand of humour or you dislike him and you seem to fit into the latter category. But whether you wish to admit it or not he is a perfect outlet for an interview for self promotion, if Axl was not such a pussy, as his audience is more of a demographic fit then any of these other talking head shows he can go on.......I did have a good laugh when you mentioned Rush Limbaugh though..I can just see Rush trying to interview Axl and the reaction of Limbaugh's redneck audience...it would be priceless though......

All you are doing is sticking up for a guy with no audience. And stop telling me what I like and don't like. He used to be great, but he has softened since he got his divorce, and is now a kiss ass. He would never ask Axl the questions you would want him to do.

I never said he wanted to be Jay Leno, he rips him cause he cant be a Jay Leno talk show demo.

You are taking the wrong angle here, Howard Stern has disappeared from the mainstream media since he left terrestrial radio. Not personal, just the way it is. Who gives a shit if he saved an outdated fledgling company?

And anyone who thinks Stern would get Axl is insane, Howard is busy with Rosie O; Donnel and Kelly Ripa now. He is a Long Island Slut now. He is not edgy anymore.

I hope Stern tears Axl a new ass hole.

Dumbass ginger.

The only people Stern rips now are disabled people. He is a Hollywood suck up.

Don't see it happening.

I totally agree. Axl coming on Dickhead Howard's show would be a BIG MISTAKE! I was going through youtube videos the other day, and caught DICKHEAD HOWARD TRYING TO FORCE WORDS IN SLASH'S MOUTH AGAINST AXL, CLEARLY JEALOUS OF AXL!

Listen to This Interview where Howard is trying to FORCE words in Slash's mouth against Axl, MEDIA SLANDER! HOWARD IS CLEARLY JEALOUS OF AXL!

Yes, Howard has changed over the years. He's almost 60 years old, what do you expect? Fartman?

Edgy as in how?

Hollywood suckup? Hardly

He did indeed save satelite radio. He's not irrevelant, his shows still make national headlines on a regular basis. I was more of a 90's- early 2000's listener, and a lot through the artie lange years, but the show is still quite good and still the best thing going today as far as talk radio goes.

[wasted]

Axl has too much class to going on Stern. He's not wanna get involved with his kind of cheap controversy. It's only going to turn out bad for Axl. To have all those narcissistic bigots the chance to ruin his day isn't worth it. Also, they aren't international enough.

If Larry King was still on that would be a balanced show to go on. Not sure about Piers Morgan, I mean he was the editor of The Sun and seems to think he has some moral high ground above the rest of the world.

I think they've done enough ass kissing for one year.

[izzydoezit]

Right, talking about Halloween trees is pretty awesome I guess compared to a real interview with some controversy.

[wasted]

I think we've had enough controversy. But I don't see what going on Stern and answering why Axl hates Slash so much is really going to help. Actually that sounds like a great way to launch CD II.

Then Axl could do the Rolling Stone cover in the nude.

[PirateRadio]

Stern always makes his guests work for it. He gets to ask his questions, and after, they get to plug whatever. I doubt celebrities still see that as a fair trade off considering the current audience size. I'm guessing we're going to see many first-timers in the studio or calling in....those who want to check it off their bucketlist.

Of course Howard is going to ask about Slash. I don't think he's going to go on and on about it though. He'll ask, "What happened?" and then he'll tell Axl that he needs to work it out with Slash. Then he'll have 50 questions about his sex life. It seems like there's been times when Axl has openly discussed or commented on Slash, sometimes unprovoked.

Interesting how you changred direction when I proved you wrong.......

Sure he disappeared from main stream media and that is why they steal quotes from his interviews all the time and AGT signed him to a fat contract because his is irrelevant.......

Howard is the only interviewer who would do a real interview with Axl instead of the fluff pieces Axl has done so far. He has become an accomplished interviewer and knows when to back off and when to push. He gets answers no other interviewer has the balls to go after but as I already stated Axl is too big a pussy to go back on the Stern show and give a real interview...........

Paul McCartney, George Clooney and other celebrities have appeared on Howard's show this past year so with all due respect you are wrong about it not being worth their time as I doubt those two would waste their time if it was not worth it........
