Well I don't really know, but the fact that marihuana is legal here also means (for me anyway) that it really isn't all that special to smoke weed.. It is kind of funny though: when you listen to American rappers, they always brag and act tough about smoking weed everyday and such, while in Holland youngsters often go for a joint in their lunch break @ school....

So i'm gonna post some then next week, i'll post even more and you get the picture. if you've heard one or all of them, sorry i'll put up more next week. 1.DJ Taucher gets beated by bouncers A while ago, Taucher was playing in a UK Club. So he sat in on the bar and the bouncers started to yell at Taucher to get down but the problem is that Taucher cannot speak english or understand it very well. The bouncers rip him off the bar and throw him to the floor and start kicking the shit outta him till the promoter saves his ass and tells the bouncers, he is the deejay.

Umm...When I met Ralph aka DJ Taucher back in 2001 he spoke English to me and quite well from what I remember

similar to the history of techno thing, I find this very hard to believe

so much fun - keep the stories coming...

This is exactly like a thread in music discussion too lazy to post link =)

National headliner, Micro, plays in Colorado a lot. It seems like he gets wasted every time. I've spent many occasions talking to him where I can't even tell if he's listening. His eyes are hardly open and he just kind of sits there. One show he was wasted and it was around 5 or 6 in the morning. My friend, a local here, had a bottle of the Goose and Micro was running around after him, trying to pry the bottle out of his hand.

Joshua Ryan and Mark Pappas, from Phili, came out to play for a friend of mine a couple of years ago. After their sets, Josh went back to the hotel, but Mark wanted to hit the afterhours. So we go, and he tells me that he's too wasted to go meet girls, but he wants me to do it for him. So I run into this girl I had met once, and introduced her to him. They are still friends to this day.

These are kind of bland, but I'll try to think of some better ones, if possible.

Another story I heard last night... This is hilarious.

So Tall Paul was playing a local club, here in Denver. This guy goes up to his agent or PR lady, something of that sort, and says, pointing at Tall Paul, "So that's Tall Paul Oakenfold, right? Can I get his autograph."

She replied, "No, Tall Paul."

He says, "Tall Paul Oakenfold, right?"
He did it to her like four times, with a confused look on his face. Cracks me up.

i read somewhere that Oakenfold once was a serious coke head but that he cleaned it up a bit

Originally posted by dj alonzo Paul Van Dyk played at a party, and one man from the crowd went up on the roof and started doing shit.. so PVD stopped the music and as soon as the man came down PVD punched him in the face, and then started spinning again.

ya and it was in the middle of when he was playing the rare remix for Robbie Williams PvD did.

there was a story where they found sasha passed out in a ditch about an hour before he had to spin. they woke him up, took him to the club, and he played a wicked set.

another one with sasha, he was spinning somwhere, and he was kicking ass, so he asked the club manager if he could have a copy of the set when it was over, guy said no..so he got pissed and flipped the tables into a pool and left.

i'm sure most of you have heard about the story when sasha cut the girls head open with a cd when he tossed it in the crowed cause it was skipping

Paul Oakenfold used his wang to change the EQ on a mixer one time. True story.

Yea Sasha is a huge cokehead... i thought that was common knowledge

When he played @ the Guvernment in Toronto in 2002, he was such shiet. Probably the worst set i've ever heard in my life.

You probably read this on the GU13 insert. It was in Ibiza. They found him passed out on the beach with a bottle of Jaeger in his hand.

Apparantly some of his "close friends" have said he isnt a coke head, he's just a heavy drinker (holic) Probably bullshit though.

That Sasha is quite the character

being passed out in a ditch, asleep, is a highly unlikely side effect of cocaine.

You are right.. he wasn't necessarilty doing coke that night, however.

EDIT: or he was just really high on coke and it appeared that he was sleeping b/c he was just lying there in a euphoric state (when I do coke, I prefer to lie down and enjoy it). Could explain why he got up so quickly and was able to spin a set (would've been hard if he was super-drunk).

well i like how this has turned into the several millionth DJ drug thread...but ill get out some stories ive collected - mostly due to class DJs and my stupidly hilarious friends...

FIrst story arc begins with Max Graham in the summer of 2k1 i believe...(yes some of these stories have similar characters and themes)

He was scheduled to play in Denver and at Red Rocks Ampetheatre within perhaps a month of each other. Coincidences short, we all knew we had to go see him at the club since seeing him at RR would be completely different - and since Maxy wasnt the biggest name back then we knew hed throw down and the place wouldnt be uber crowded. Now this club (at the time had their DJ booth elevated perhaps only 1m off the ground, so you could chat with the DJs in the down time and whatnot. Needless to say my friend Bahnsand isnt much for 'downtime'. We were reasonably tipsy when he first went up to mg to say whats up. He went back several more times and I went with him once - perhaps to Grahams chagrin. He was amicable throughout the whole ordeal luckily...we harassed him about his badass beats and made sure he would be back for the RR show - but thats just the beginning...

about 3 mos later I hear that he will be back in Denver again, even though I am now back in school, outside of Colorado. I hear from the party report that Bahnsand was haranguing Maxy again, to not so amicable results. Apparently - in a quest to hear the Live Mix of the Hybrid track on transport 4 my friend had repeatedly harassed the DJ to the effect of 'HEYYY MAXZ! YOO ROCK!! CAN YOU PLAYT THAT ONE HYBRID SONG!!!@' To which Max can only ask - 'Which Hybrid song?'

'YOUO KNOW!! THAT ONE!!'

This all in all leads up to perhaps Dave Bahnsands greatest escapade, yet in a positive light.

Needless to say the club in Denver moved the Dj booth to an upper balcony shortly after this summer, but directly after we went to see Sander K. They had recently remodeled - but had left a rickety ladder in place so the DJs could change, pee and whatnot - for the entire show...

The problem was, they only guarded the ladder during the main change and at the end...therefore Dave had the opportunity of harassing Sander...

I am not one to avow that harassing DJs during their set is a great idea, most respond positively - or wait until they have the opportunity to chat (as SK and MG had usually done) But the sight of my drunk ass friend scaling a POS ladder in the middle of a packed club with no staff doing anything to stop him was a sight. And when he shouted 'HEYY SANDERR!' Sander simply set up his mixes for the next couple of songs and then ended up chatting with him - teetering on top of the ladder. It was totally ace as while this story ended happily as after chatting Sander asked if he had a request. Luckily Dave had gotten Hybrid out of his system, and while I had been coaching him to ask for My Lexicon if he went up he simply shouted 'PLAY SOMTHINE YOO WROTE! SOME OF YOUR SHIT!'

Luckily enough about 6 songs later the into to Lexi came on and it was sublime. Perhaps this isnt a hilarious story of coke binges and puking DJs, but it does show off a couple of my faves and some decently silly situations|

Nice. Gotta love the Church's ladder guarding policy! Do you know Max well, Colin? We tried to book him through his agency and they didn't even respond. The offer may have been low, but it seems interesting that they didn't even respond. They might be screwin him over a bit.

I remember hearing this someplace on TA a while back...

Sasha was playing a gig in '88 I think and he gets into this record, and he is so into it he jumps down from the booth and starts dancing with the crowd... except he forgets he is the DJ and just keeps dancing... then the record ends and starts spinning around the inner groove and Sasha starts yelling that the DJ sucks and stuff, and everyone is looking at him when he realizes he is the DJ and quickly ascends to the decks and puts on another record.


WTF.... lol

Oh and good on the TiT's bringin up old threads.... except for the fact that the posts always seem to be kinda random and they are replying to something that happend along time ago.

What a great publicity stunt. I am sooo doing that at a show sometime. If you pull it off right, it would be awesome.

there's another sasha story. i believe a while back, sasha was pretty drunk in the booth when he got sick and vomited all over the decks and kinda slumped in the booth or something. got up after such a sorry state and mixed in something cleanly before falling down again. i have to get the exact story from my friend.

*edit*

"Fair play but was it as good as when he played @ Universe in newport
1992. Watching Sasha puke on the decks and stop the set. The set was
great and some of the best mixes i have ever heard to this day. Even
when he couldnt stand he managed to mix a Siedeth Garret accapela over
bomb the bass. Respect."
