When DJ's storm off stage

Hey all!

Im wondering if anyone has any stories regarding times when a DJ has stormed off stage and the (possible) reasons why he/she did so.

I heard about Sasha and Digweed when Sasha dumped the equip in a swimming pool...and someone mentioned Tiesto storming off at one point.

Anyone want to elaborate on some stories???

Thanks

Sasha dumped the equipment in the pool because the guy that hosted the party wouldn't give him the minidiscs of the show. Sasha was pretty ..messed up.. and mixed really really really well as a result. He wanted the minidiscs so he could recreate some of the stuff for a GU release.

Ti�sto was really, really close to picking up the turntables and throwing them at one of the Gatecrasher's last year; he said it himself.

Here's what Tijs said about it...

quote:

Yeah, the Gatecrasher NEC experience was quite rough for me. When I started playing a lot of things weren�t plugged in right. So the sound was really bad in the beginning and the turntable didn�t work and my two CD players didn�t work either. It took half an hour before it started to work. And even then I only had one CD player and one turntable, so I didn�t even have 2 turntables when I was playing. So I was a bit focusing on everything to keep going and of course a bit pissed off, but for the rest I played real good and I think everybody had a great time that night. It was such a shame, because I was really looking forward to it. That same night I played in Ireland as well in the beginning of the evening and my plane was delayed for two hours. I was supposed to play at 23.00h, but I only arrived at 01.30h at the venue, so I only had half an hour to get on stage again. It was all together one of those nights that everything that could go wrong went wrong, but yeah � shit happens.

Reports from people who work with Ti�sto said that that the fireworks didn't go off at Traffic, and mentioned a couple of other things. Folks in the audience said that Ti�sto looked extremely pissed.

I think Sasha threw the turntables into a lake/swamp at Homelands one year because they were absolute shite and were making his and Digweed's mixes trainwrecks... not exactly sure but I think I remember reading this somewhere.

yeah, poor old vestax decks......

When Tiesto was last in Sydney, he hit stop and stormed off stage right in the middle of Adagio for Strings

The local DJ playing after him unplugged Tiesto's headphones and plugged his own in, apparently this is enough of an affront to make him storm offstage

Don't even get started on that one
There was an argument for about 6 pages on inthemix about that.

We would've had that argument, but we were too busy arguing about Afterburn - Fratty Boy vs Afterburn - North Pole

Ditto.

Think it meant that the local DJ unplugged Tiesto's while Adagio For Strings was on.

Presumably to cue up his next track.

Maybe Tiesto has to unplug his own headphones.

wowww i would do anything for decks (and when i do get some, i would not ruin them), and they just throw there stuff in pools/swamps/wherever like they cost nothing. then again, they got money

i heard a story bout judge jules once
some one was at the front of the crowd while jules was playing and he was shouting stuff like jules is crap judge jules came round the decks walked up to the bloke and smacked him one

Sandra Collins played in my town in March. The opening dj's both played great sets without any problems. The sound did however go out once or twice. Sandra came on and mixed 2 records. She seemed to have difficulty with the setup for some reason, but the locals did not. She walked off after 3 records, because she couldn't figure out how to use the equipiment. She did however play at a diffrent venue for free.

tonight, on Fox... don't miss the startling new show, When Good DJs Go Bad

Whooaa!

When Good DJ's go Bad....They Trainwreck!

cheers.

I don't think any DJ would do that... that seems extremely excessive. If he did do that, it must have been for a different reason, I would think. I think I remember Jules did clock someone for grabbing at his wife, Amanda... gotta say, I can't blame the poor guy for trying... AMANDA IS HAWT!!

eek: Tiesto rules...anyway that sucks about tiesto storming off, but i wouldve too..no one messes with me while im spinnnig,,LEAVE ME ALONE!!!:

*sings*
Why start to worry
About the hands of fate
When right before your eyes
It becomes to late

I've learnt to ignore them
When they bring me down
I won't let vicious people
Fool around

It's my turn
It's my turn

It's my turn
It's my turn (It's my turn)

Tiesto was supposed to finish playing at 6am. 6:30 and he's still going, so the guy who was playing the closing set understandably had the shits.

Adagio for Strings was clearly going to be Tiesto's last track, he wasn't beatmatching or anything and hadn't selected another track to play.

So to start cueing up his first track, the guy playing after Tiesto unplugged Tiesto's headphones and plugged his own headphones in.

Tiesto glared at him for a few seconds, tossed his headphones into the crowd (a TA caught them ), hit stop on the CD-J and stormed off the stage.

hehe - seems tiesto has some atitude - perhaps he sould remember who he's playing for (hint: it's the people who are paying his wages and going to see him week in week out)

Tiesto went mad in december 2002 at the koolhaus. It was the worst set in recent memory, just fader slams, no real mixing, no real effort, anyway 3 hrs into his supposed 4 hrs (he was late starting, go figure), the cdj overheats (just one of them, not the other) and I'm sure this has happened before and Tijs just blows a gasket completely, storms off stage like the arrogant asshole he is (Venue had been sold out for weeks before the gig) and talks to his manager or something and cries foul and the deejay that was after him, started going. I mean a cdj overheats, so what, play vinyl, I mean he got paid more that night than some people do in a year. The other deejay had no problem playing vinyl on the turntables that worked.

wow...came home from work, and there's all these stories posted! awesome! thanks guys, keep em coming...

One time at my friends college some dude was playing awful awful music...like pop style US mainstream radio "trance" and the crowd started booing. He stormed off stage, and I came up on stage (randomly to fill the space for a DJ) with some CD's I had in the car and played Dreas - Havannah, Robert Nickson - Spiral, Autumn Falls(John/Locust mix) Astura - Orion's Belt, and finished off with Calibro(Sonicvibe Remix)...everyone was having a good time, and I was kinda worried about getting jacked by the other dude since I completely slapped him in the face DJ wise. It was a fun weekend to say the least.

Why wasn't I there? Probably worth hundreds of dollars, those headphones.
