Radio-DJ John Peel gestorben
Mit seinen "Peel Sessions" machte er David Bowie und The Smiths berühmt: Der legendäre britische Radio-DJ John Peel ist im Alter von 65 Jahren im peruanischen Lima an einem Herzinfarkt gestorben.

Radio-Legende Peel: "Schlicht unersetzlich"
Lima/London - Laut Informationen seines Arbeitgebers, der British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), verbrachte John Peel einen Arbeitsurlaub in der antiken Inka-Stadt Cuzco zusammen mit seiner Ehefrau Sheila. Die genauen Umstände seines Ablebens liegen jedoch noch weitgehend im Dunkeln: "Er ist verstorben. Wir haben keinerlei Details. Wir bekamen um vier Uhr morgens einen Anruf von seinem Bruder, der uns informierte", sagte ein Sprecher der britischen Botschaft in Lima, Jonathan Clare, gegenüber der Nachrichtenagentur Reuters.
Jenny Abramsky, BBC-Direktorin für Radio und Musik zeigte sich erschüttert: "John ist schlicht unersetzlich", sagte sie gegenüber Reuters. "Er hatte ein bemerkenswertes Verhältnis zu seinem Publikum. Alle bei BBC Radio sind am Boden zerstört."
"John Peel war eine Radio-Legende. Ich bin zutiefst betrübt von seinem Tod", sagte Andy Parfitt, Controller bei der Vorzeige-Popstation der BBC, Radio One. "Johns Einfluss schwebt seit fast vier Jahrzehnten über der Entwicklung der Popmusik. Sein Beitrag zur modernen Musik und Musikkultur ist unermesslich. Er wird sehr vermisst werden", so Parfitt in einer offiziellen Erklärung.
Vom Radio-Piraten zur BBC-Legende
John Peel, geboren als John Ravenscroft im August 1939, war Richtschütze in der britischen Armee und Arbeiter in einer Baumwoll-Mühle, bevor er sein Faible für Radio-Moderationen entdeckte. Erste Erfahrungen sammelte der Musikfan Anfang der Sechziger, als er von England nach Texas umzog und dort bei einer kleinen Radiostation in Dallas anfing. Sein derber nordbritischer Akzent und seine rasselnde Stimme machten ihn schnell zu einer lokalen Berühmtheit, denn in Amerika hatte gerade die "British Invasion" mit Bands wie den Beatles und den Kinks begonnen. Alles, was aus dem Vereinigten Königreich kam, galt als cool. Peel wechselte bald zu größeren Stationen wie KOMA in Oklahoma und KMEN in San Bernadino.
1965 kehrte er in seine Heimat zurück. Allerdings nicht ganz, denn Peel ließ sich auf einem Schiff vor der britischen Küste nieder, von wo aus er den immens erfolgreichen Piratensender Radio Caroline betrieb. "Peel" war sein Deckname, den er fortan nie wieder ablegen sollte.
Noch im selben Jahr wurde er von der BBC angeheuert, wo er für die nächsten Jahrzehnte seine musikalische Heimat finden sollte. Die staatliche Sendeanstalt setzte den Piraten 1967 als DJ bei ihrem brandneuen Popsender Radio One ein und gab ihm vorsichtshalber nur einen Vertrag für sechs Monate. Am Ende sollten es fast 40 Jahre werden.
Punkrock statt Led Zeppelinn
Peels Erfolg gründete sich auf der schlichten Tatsache, dass der findige DJ den Mainstream links liegen ließ und stets den interessantesten Underground- oder Newcomer-Bands den Vorzug gab. Als andere Sender Motown-Hits spielten, legte Peel den Experimental-Rock von Quicksilver Messenger Service auf. Als seine Konkurrenten Ende der Siebziger immer noch Rock-Dinosaurier wie Led Zeppelin auflegten, begeisterte sich Peel schon längst für die frühen Punkbands.
Immer wieder machte sich der mächtige Discjockey in seiner Abendshow "Top Gear" für Neulinge abseits der Charts stark - und verhalf ihnen damit zu Ruhm und Ehre. Unter anderen verhalf Peel britischen Musikgrößen wie Marc Bolan, David Bowie, The Fall und The Smiths zum kommerziellen Durchbruch. In den Neunzigern widmete sich der notorisch neugierige Peel nicht so sehr den aufkommenden Britpoppern wie Blur und Oasis, sondern setzte sich für HipHop und elektronische Musik wie Drum`n`Bass oder Techno ein.
Zum besten Instrument seiner Talentsuche wurden schnell die inzwischen legendären "Peel Sessions" auf Radio One: Live-Konzerte neuer und junger Bands im Studio, die in voller Länge ausgestrahlt wurden und später zuweilen auch auf CD veröffentlicht wurden. Für seine Verdienste um die Pop-Szene Englands wurde er schließlich mit dem Order of the British Empire (OBE) dekoriert.
Auch wenn seine Lieblingsplatten heute wahrscheinlich schon ein bisschen angestaubt wirken, blieb Peel nicht nur bis zu seinem Tod aktiv, er wurde auch in den letzten Jahren noch regelmäßig von britischen Musikmedien zum besten Radiomoderator gewählt. 1994 erhielt er den Titel "Godlike Genius" (etwa: Gottgleiches Genie) vom einflussreichen Pop-Magazin "NME" verliehen. Zuletzt entdeckte Peel neue Zuhörer mit der Familiengeschichten-Sendung "Home Truths" auf Radio Four.
Sein Credo formulierte John Peel 1999 im SPIEGEL so: "Wenn ich an meine Hörer denke, sehe ich einen Jungen irgendwo auf dem Land, der glaubt, er sei der einzige, der bestimmte Dinge mag. Für den spiele ich meine Sachen. Ich muss dabei nicht viel reden: Vor einem Stück sage ich, von wem es ist, und wie es heißt. Das ist alles, mehr muss mein Hörer nicht wissen, damit er spürt, dass er nicht allein ist."
Nachdem die Nachricht von Peels Tod heute nachmittag auf Radio One verlesen wurde, spielte der Sender den Lieblings-Song ihres legendären Kollegen: "Teenage Kicks" von der irischen Punkband The Undertones.

Obituary: John Peel
John Peel: Witty, unaffected and avuncular
Broadcaster John Peel was the champion of British music for nearly 40 years on his late-night Radio 1 show. He led the way in promoting new acts, from David Bowie, through Joy Division to the White Stripes.
John Peel was, at first sight, the antithesis of many of the bands he loved. Balding, bearded, softly - if hilariously - spoken, he was more like a favourite uncle than a rock fan.
Yet Peel`s uncompromising encouragement of new talent transformed the face of music all the way from hippy to house.
His Radio 1 show ran three nights a week and in 1998 he became the presenter of Radio 4`s Home Truths, which won four Sony Radio awards in 1999.
He also presented a programme on the BBC World Service, taking his passion for new music to the wider world.
He was born John Robert Parker Ravenscroft in Heswall, near Liverpool, in 1939. The son of the owner of a cotton mill, his childhood was blighted by his distant parents and he was brought up mostly by a nanny.
He attended Shrewsbury public school, which he hated, an ordeal which was offset by the moment he first heard Elvis Presley singing Heartbreak Hotel.
David Bowie was one of his earliest proteges
"Everything changed when I heard Elvis," he later reflected. "Where there had been nothing there was suddenly something."
After National Service between 1957 and 1959 he went to America. With Beatlemania in full swing, John Peel and his Liverpudlian connections proved irresistible and he soon became a DJ for WRR radio in Dallas.
He once said: "They`d got this idea that if you lived in the UK there were probably only a couple of hundred people and they were all bound to know each other."
Returning to England in 1967, he joined the pirate station, Radio London, before transferring to the BBC`s new national pop channel, Radio 1. He was to remain there for the rest of his life, the only survivor of Radio 1`s first line-up.
Changing styles
Right from the outset, Peel changed the rules. He played every track without interruption, to the delight of those wishing to tape his show, while providing a witty and knowledgeable running commentary, seemingly a million miles away from the transatlantic platitudes of many of his colleagues.
In the early days Peel championed acts like Marc Bolan, David Bowie and Captain Beefheart, as he did throughout his career, by giving them studio-time to record legendary "Peel sessions".
The Sex Pistols: Peel championed punk rock
But, in the mid-1970s, John Peel moved away from the mainstream rock of Jimi Hendrix and The Who to a new and radical sound, punk.
Bands like the Sex Pistols and the Clash paved the way for new Peel discoveries like Joy Division and the Undertones, whose Teenage Kicks was his all-time favourite single.
The 1980s brought further joy, most notably in the form of The Fall and The Smiths, both refreshing counterblasts to the increasingly bland fare of the charts.
More recently, Peel had branched-out, presenting Home Truths, an eclectic programme about family life, and provided typically droll interjections for BBC TV`s Grumpy Old Men.
He received an OBE in 1998 and earned a place in the Radio Academy Hall of Fame.
Three years ago he was diagnosed with diabetes.
He continued to remain at the cutting-edge of popular taste, featuring `world` music and rap alongside good old-fashioned rock `n` roll.
A lifelong fan of the Archers and a dedicated follower of Liverpool football club, he lived in Suffolk with his wife Sheila, affectionately known as The Pig.

John Peel`s Music war immer ein highlight, unabhängig von der Musikindustrie. Er hat auch meinen Musikgeschmack wesentlich beeinflusst. Wirklich schade, zuletzt hatte ich dieses Bedauern beim Tod von Beil Postman.
John Peel
Der Pate des globalen Pop-Untergrundes
"Geben Sie mir ein Mikrophon, zwei Plattenspieler, ein rudimentäres Mischpult, etwas Sendezeit und ich bin glücklich!" Würde man diesen Satz von einem jungen Menschen hören, man wäre kaum erstaunt. Der Mann aber, der das sagt, ist 65 Jahre alt, heisst John Peel und ist der beste Radio-DJ der Welt. John Peel gilt als eine der wichtigsten Personen der britischen Popgeschichte und nicht wenige Musikexperten schätzen den Einfluß, den Peel auf die Entwicklung des Pop hat, grösser ein als den der Beatles.
Geboren am 30. August 1939 in Heswall bei Chester, hatte John mit 14 Jahren die erste Begegnung im Radio mit Elvis` "Heartbreak Hotel", für Peel eine Erfahrung mit "geradezu biblischem Charakter", die ihn nicht mehr losließ. Nach seiner Zeit bei der Army in den Staaten gelangte er Anfang der Sechziger, dank seines Liverpooler Akzentes, während der Beatlemania als Beatles-Experte ins lokale US Radio, ehe er über einen Schiffspiratensender in London 1967 zur BBC geriet. Dort hatte Peel mit "Top Gear" sein erstes eigenes Format. Schon damals zeichnete seine Sendungen eine musikalische Qualität aus, die frei war von jeglicher Angst, sich neuer Ideen und Formen jenseits des Massengeschmacks anzunehmen. Lange bevor sie bekannt wurden spielte Peel Bands wie Velvet Underground, Grateful Dead oder Pink Floyd. Er entdeckte und förderte zahlreiche Gruppen, und als Ende der Siebziger Jahre Punk die Musikszene revolutionierte, waren es Peels Sendungen, die dieser Revolte mit den Weg ebneten.
Im Mai 1977 spielten The Damned ihre Musik live in den BBC Studios ein, die legendären Peel Sessions waren geboren. Einzige Bedingung bei diesen Sessions war, an einem Tag die Musik in den Radiostudios live einzuspielen und abzumischen. The Clash, The Fall, The Buzzcocks, New Order, The Smiths, sie alle traten bei John Peel an, um ihre Songs zu präsentieren.
Der fanatische FC Liverpool Fan Peel, der Reporter schon mal aus dem Haus weist, sollten sie Arsenal- oder Manchester-Fans sein, lebt heute zurückgezogen mit seiner Familie auf einem Landhaus nördlich von London. Inmitten seiner immensen Plattensammlung (Peel besitzt alleine 30.000 Vinylsingles) produziert er mittlerweile in seinem eigenen Ministudio drei seiner wöchentlichen Radioshows und die Peel Sessions. Noch immer versucht Peel sein Publikum mit Musik zu konfrontieren, die es noch nie gehört hat. "Etwa 85 % meiner Stücke wurden vorher noch nie im Radio gespielt", sagt Peel, "aber ich würde mich nie als elitär bezeichnen. Wenn die Leute in unsicheren Zeiten ihre Stabilität im Mainstream der Popkultur finden, ist das besser als nichts. Das Resultat ist allerdings eine ziemlich statische Kultur." Ein Satz, den man all diesen gesichtslosen Radiosendern mit ihrem "der beste Mix, die beste Musik"-Geschwafel täglich um die Ohren hauen sollte. Dass die immer wieder verwendete Ausrede "das Publikum will diese Massenware" nicht stimmt, zeigt die Tatsache, dass Peels kompromisslose Art erfolgreich ist. Von allen BBC-Programmen hat sie den höchsten Anteil an unter 16-jährigen Hörern; seine Sendungen sind global über den ganzen Erdball zu empfangen.
Am 30. August 2004 wurde John Peel 65 Jahre alt. Auf seinem Grabstein soll einmal eine Songzeile aus dem Stück "Teenage Kicks" seiner Lieblingsband, den Undertones, stehen: "Teenage dreams, so hard to beat."
(Text: Papa Chico)
Seit einigen Jahren produziert John für das (ähnlich RDL) Freie Hamburger Radio FSK (Freies Sender Kombinat) Sendungen, in denen keine Musikrichtung ausgelassen wird - Drum + Bass, Reggae, Metal, Rock, Blues, afrikanische Musik, um nur ein paar wenige zu nennen.
Grundidee dieser (bei ihm zu Hause aufgenommenen!) Produktionen ist, dass auch andere Freie Radios in Deutschland in den Genuss der Sendungen kommen - eines davon ist Radio Dreyeckland. Die jeweils neueste Show könnt ihr hören
am ersten Sonntag des Monats von 18 - 20 Uhr.
Die BBC hat John Peel eine eigene Homepage eingerichtet, mit einer Biografie, einer Liste seiner derzeitigen Lieblingsplatten und vielen anderen interessanten Infos: www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/alt/johnpeel

John Peel war und ist Kult. Alle Pappnasen die ihn nicht kennen, sind sowieso musikalisch unterbelichtet und sollten sich besser auf ihre Travestie-Raves zurückziehen und den Göttern des Mainstreams fröhnen...Armes Deutschland.

John Peel war ein wichtiger mensch - seine "Rock Today" sendung im British Forces Broadcasting Service mit der legendären eröffnungsmusik von Pink Floyds "Interstellar Overdrive" war DIE MACHT... bei ihm hörte ich die Undertones - Skidds - Jam - Syph - Motörhead - The Lurkers - Stiff Little Fingers - The Damned - The Adverts und und und zum ersten mal... da hatte nur noch Alan Bangs mit seinem "Nightflight" (da lief zum ersten mal Wire und Dire Straits in deutschland) und Winfried Trenkler mit "Rock In" (der mir zum beispiel Pavlovs Dog brachte) eine ähnlich elementare bedeutung für meine musikalische entwicklung über jahre...
...und es gab keinen liveauftritt meiner band ohne John Peels lieblingslied... mit "Teenage Kicks" in der zugabe ging es sowas von ab - wer da still steht hat kein blut in den adern - ein jahrhundertsong...
