[Closed] Huey Morgan losing the plot on Buzzcocks!

I watched it on Monday and was simultaneously confused about what he was getting so upset about and reinforced in my belief that he's actually a bit of a **** (post-Laverne twitter shenanigans). I also thought the young hippy hoppy Rizlas dealt with it quite entertainingly.

Really? He looked like a petulant teenager.

i saw this on monday and thought it was a bit weird, something may have been lost in the editing?
still not as funny as when Preston from 'The Ordinary Boys' stormed off

The look on Phil Jupitus's face convinced me it wasnt scripted..
He was acting like a moody teenager.. used to think he was a bit of a dude but not any more.. ****.

I thought it may have been a set up, or that Huey was doing it intentionally at least. His manner/actions look a bit forced. But, I agree with this too:

Incidentally, I met him while staying at Mal in Glasgow a long time ago. He was finishing up a call on his mobile outside, I said hello and he started a conversation. Thought he was a really nice bloke actually!

Ok so the format is a bit tired but he's a fanny! Still, he plays good music on Saturdays now.

It did make me wonder what was missed but even so he came across like a bit of a cock.

Laverne twitter shenanigans?

Very odd behaviour - just seemed in a monumentally bad mood. He's kind of right about how tired the format is though, but then he shouldn't have taken the gig if he doesn't like it.

His show is still one of the better things on 6Music.

Sometimes you get a guest on the show that can't take the banter and then gets a bit paranoid..

Don't smoke dope before buzzcocks is the moral of the story

It was more than a bit weird 😕
Still glad that he is replacing that annoying wee Scots lass on the Sat mornings on 6 🙂

[i]It was more than a bit weird[/i]

Yep, that's what drugs'll do for ya. Man.

[i]Everybody[/i] knows it's a tired format. But Noel is still funny.
The Rizzle Kicks boys have gone up in my estimation. Their music is rubbish but the lad handled little boy Huey very well!

Nervous breakdown and/or drugs.

It would have been better if Simon Amstell was there,he would have ripped Huey to bits.
Still like his radio shows though.

He added: Yo, Fern cotton won a gold award, shit is fake!"

Hmm maybe not such a cock then.

Seemed to work-out okay for Bill Bailey...

Funny that someone whose whole persona has been how [i]cool[/i] he is, can be so incredibly UNcool.

Just made me smile a little, I've no idea who the bloke is/was/whateva and still couldn't care less, it's all about enjoying yourself on the programme shirley, the RizzleBouys were great fun, most of the guests are to be fair, it's a well tried and trusted format and everyone should know what to expect.
Noel is growing on me, Jupiter I'm still not that keen on.. but hey.

Simon Anstell set in front of me and MrsBouy in Saddlers Wells a month or so back, Nice boy Simon.

I love the way the guy from Rizzle Kicks doesn't let it lie. It's funny because Huey is having such a sulk! At one point I think you can see him trying not to laugh..,

How much coverage has this got...
That's why he did it. Any publicity etc.

You might be right, UH, but he looks more like a pathetic pissed/smashed old man shuffling off than a calculating marketeer.

Gave cotton and Laverne abuse? Good! He's gone up in my estimation, can't stand either

I must admit, I hadn't realised he was doing the Radio6 show and i'll be having a listen next time I can...

Their music is rubbish

No it's not, you just don't like it, please separate opinion from fact....

PARP! (Who else's opinion can I use?) 😛

This

Comes across as a bit egotistical but I can't fathom why Ferne Cotton or Lauren Laverne won awards either - would much rather listen to Huey's show.

And DezB is correct - Rizzle Kicks music is rubbish. 🙂

Thank you

I read somewhere the other day (I can't find it now) that the studio audience were pretty supportive of Huey Morgan because of a load of faffing about while trying to film (which was obviously cut out). I also find it laughable that it's reported as storming off, when it looked more like a stroll or wander to me!

I've not seen the clip, but just wanted to say that having listened to more rizzle kicks stuff than I'd probably have chosen to myself (kids' fault) they're actually pretty bright and talented boys who are good at what they do.

If what it is that they do isn't the sort of stuff you choose to listen to or that you like, it's pretty arrogant to assert that that makes it rubbish imho.

Yeah I take it back actually they're very skilled lyricists. 🙂

Mama, won't you please let me

Yo, coming in with the sound fresher than cut grass
(Fun starts)
Second that we enter if you must ask (rush past)
Like you've forgotten your mind
Or the drivers all up in your face like can I see your
Bus pass!?
Like nah!
We just wanna lickle rhyme bruv
Call me what you want you want but you should not call it
A night love.
And I might just join the mile high club
Only problem being that I couldn't give a flying ****

Yeah lemme touch back down
Uh, Slap her on the bum until it
Comes back round
Half the rooms like Oi what's this all about, with
The other half jiving like
I love that sound.

(What!?) A yeah yeah, I love that sound,
(What!?) A yeah yeah I love that sound.
Uh, So flick your fag butts at once on a mad one like
Yeah, your mama can hump

Mama, do the hump, mama do the hump, hump
Mama, won't you please let me do the hump, hump
Mama, do the hump, mama do the hump, hump
Mama, won't you please let me do the hump, hump
Mama, do the hump, mama do the hump, hump

I suppose they're harmless enough but it's not great is it. Sampling/ripping off EMF is a new low for music really.

Bloke of a certain age becomes grumpy shocker!

As a man of a similar age and an occasional tendency to become arbitrarily and sometimes unexplainably pissed off with just about anything, I like him even more and I will throw a cup at anyone who disagrees.

I for one, am currently surrounded by broken mugs

[i]Sampling/ripping off EMF is a new low for music really.[/i]

Ah, is that them?! I've heard that on the radio a couple of times. I take back my "rubbish" statement. They are SHIT.

Rizzle kicks are better than average fun popsters.

they're very skilled lyricists

Thing is, I don't think they'd describe what it is that they do as "being lyricists" and, let's be honest, there's plenty of critically acclaimed acts (that the singletrack music snobs approve of) whose lyrics don't scan like great poetry when put on the page.

Have you ever read any Beck lyrics? They're like someone's thrown a pile of words in the air and challenged him to use them in the order they land.

Or how about Nirvana. Ooh yeah, what a great lyricist etc..

Come on over and do the twist
Over do it and have a fit
Love you so much it makes me sick

Yup ok, but am I allowed to think they're not very good without being branded a snob? Isn't that just inverse snobbery? 😉

Am I allowed to think they're quite entertaining without being branded a radio 1 listening pop tart?

+1 for Huey being a dick. Have never liked the guy, always found him arrogant, conceited and full of self love. His R6 set is good though.

+1 fr the Rizzla guys handing him a verbal slap down.

I really don't care what anyone else thinks. Or what anyone thinks of what I think. Or what anyone thinks of what I think of what they think.
I listen to plenty of pop pap with bad lyrics.
But nothing that samples Unblelievable by EMF like something straight out of Bill Drummond's 'The Manual: How to Have a Number One Hit the Easy Way' book.

I previously thought he was a bit of a knobber trying to put on a fake veneer of homeboy coolness, but I kinda liked that fact that he made the point about that round of the quiz just being one big cliche.

However, having just read that peice about his Twitter rants about Lauren (who I think is the best thing on daytime 6Music), his Buzzcocks outburst is put in a different context. Now I'm back to thinking he's a bit of a knobber....

I like it when huey rips a guitar solo in the middle of a FLC track live

The rest of it I don't care about

Yeah, sorry, my comment wasn't aimed at individuals, more about the "hive mind" on musical credibility which isn't just a STW thing - more that Lamacq / NME / studenty thing where bands cease to be any good once they've sold a few records to the masses etc, and anyone working in the field of "disposable pop" is by definition rubbish.
