George Lamb on BBC 6Music: total cock

[Orang Utan]

I encountered him at a party on Monday - he was a dreadful berk

 

[Augie March]

Pearce or Lamb?

 

[Orang Utan]

Ach, Dave Pearce is way better than George Lamb.

He's played some shite music of late to be sure, but he's probably got more in the record box to surprise than most. I remember him being a leading Hip-Hop dj in the days before Westwood and iirc he had's a weird past career, with spells djing in Bombay as a teen.

Maybe I'm being charitable, but maybe a move to 6 will let him play some tunes that we wouldn't expect of him.

Dave Pearce is also the first voice you hear on It Takes A Nation Of Millions

 

[Orang Utan]

Pearce or Lamb?

Lamb. The odd person would approach him to compliment him eek:) and he would touch his chest over his heart in a fake humble gesture. I made me want to violent him up.

Yep. I think Westwood was still doing roller discos at the time. I shit you not.

Didn't realise he was bringing 'Dance Classics' with him to 6 though. Trying to reserve judgement, but I'm not hopeful.

George Lamb, is a surplus cunt with no discernible talent at all.

That was what I was thinking. Didn't he used to the evening session on Radio 1 back in the day? Or maybe I'm getting confused.

Then I read the next post:-

Bear in mind too, he's bringing exactly the same 'Dance Anthems' show he was doing on Radio 1, with him to 6 Music.

And realised I'm just a hopeless optimist.

 

[la ressistance]

im getting very tired of lamb and his useless sidekick twats.

bunch of talentless fuckwits.

 

[stat]

Lamb's off today - George Crown is covering. Much better!

That's right, yeah. Knew I was getting confused deep down.

I turned back over to hear his interview with Tom Jones - who's a funny, self depereciating kinda bloke with a ton of fascinating stories - and Lamb won't shut the fuck up.

He started explaining how he went from hod carrying to running his own TV show in 3 years and having Jerry Lee Lewis and Ray Charles as guests and Lamb interrupted with some fuckwit bollocks about someone who made him a cake.

Worst. Interview. Ever. It was about 70% fucking Lamb talking.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

I don't mind Dave Pearce. I'm not that keen on trance, his favourite dance subgenre seemingly, but he obviously has an interest in the music he plays and he doesn't come across as an ego-maniac. Radio 1 obviously has no interest now in playing dance music stretching back to the late 80s, so as an occasional old skool fan I'm happy it still has a place on the radio.

 

[editor]

You what?!

 

[tarannau]

I think Dave Pearce has got a show on 6 now.

I'm not opposed in principle, but I've not heard his show either.

 

[madzone]

I listened to his show when I was staying with my mate and couldn't work her digital radio

He's a cock.

 

[corporate whore]

For a better interview with Jones the Voice, listen again to today's Front Row.

Oh, and George Lamb's a weapons grade arse, just to keep in the spirit of the thread.

I have listened to Dave Pierce's new six music show. I thought it was pretty good actually. He played loads of Dance anthems and I got the hint that he seemed somewhat aware of the criticism he was receiving before hand, he almost sounded nervous. It seemed there was a sense he genuinely wanted six music listeners to adopt his show. Nonetheless he remained upbeat throughout and played some decent tracks which probably wouldn't have made the cut on R1. It was a LOT less cheesey than the R1 show. Anyway I liked it. But objectively if you compare Dave Pierces show to that of George Lamb it is quite clear that Pierce is a consummate professional in comparison. On any level you care to mention Pierce blows Lamb out of the water. Dave can do the following:

• complete an entire sentence without messing it up
• be polite to callers
• demonstrate competency whilst using studio equipment
• crucially he is able to present a show without a sycophantic posse
• tell stories of relative interest

So whether you like Dance music or not, Dave is a considerably more talented broadcaster than Lamb and shouldn't, in my opinion, be lumped in the same category.

^^^^ This. Dave Pierce may not play music I like but he's a quality DJ and his musical knowledge is superb...proper old school hip hop DJ way before Westwood and his cod west indian accent.

So basically, all you are saying, is give Pearce a chance?

Yay! Lesley Douglas has resigned! Good riddance. She was crap. Does this mean Lamb is in danger?

clap clap well done here here etc.

We can only hope

 

[tarannau]

I must admit that i thought exactly the same. Fuck off Lamb you twat

 

[editor]

Was she the woman responsible for bringing in this Lamb fuckwit?

Shit - and I was defending her on the Brand/Ross thread too. Definitely good riddance to her.

 

[Cid]

Lamb did some nasty interviews, perhaps now is the time to leap on the bandwagon and get the fuckwit sacked... Maybe set up one of those web petitions or something, he's widely hated.

 

[mhwfc]

According to the BBC News at Six the odious turd Lamb is going to be filling in for Jonathan Ross on Radio 2

x1m

I think Lamb is to unintelligibly stupid to make any kind of serious gaff. He'll just be shit. And get LOADS of complaints. Which will be ignored.

 

[Dillinger4]

He is going to be the BBC's new 'irreverent and edgy' fucking cunt.

 

[Santino]

I've never listened to him. As I allowed to hate him based on hearsay?
