i thought i read somewhere that Paul Van Dyk punched a promoter when he pulled the power on PvD's tables.
actually found it
here on this old thread
Just remembered few things:
From Guinness Book of World records:
1. Youngest DJ
DJ Llewellyn Owen, from London, UK, (aka DJ Welly) headlined at The Warp club in London, UK on May 1, 2000, when he was eight years and 70 days old. He was paid �125 (US$180) per hour - the standard rate for headlining. Before he was five years old, DJ Welly began experimenting with record decks, as his father was involved in the free party scene in the Northants area in England. People started giving Llewellyn their old records and he soon began to DJ to earn pocket money until he later turned professional. His family is baffled as to where Llewellyn gets his talent from as they are not involved in music. Llewellyn has four sisters and is home educated. He also attends drama school and is very creative. He has recently started composing music with two older girls and his father feels that fame and fortune beckons. Having headlined famous clubs such as The Ministry of Sound in London and played on national TV and radio, it is easy to see why!
2. Best-Selling Drum 'n' Bass Album
The best selling drum 'n' bass album is New Forms by Reprazent, which has sold a total of 763,910 albums around the world. They sold 250,000 within the UK and 513,910 worldwide. Reprazent, based in Bristol, England, is made up of Roni Size, Krust, DJ Die, Suv, MC Dynamite, and vocalist Onallee. They were formed in 1992, when Roni and Krust joined forces, having met previously when Krust had booked a hall for a club night and hired Roni's sound system. Although they formed their own label, Full Cycle, in 1993, they also released records on V Recordings, including the early classic Music Box. In June, 1997, Reprazent released their album New Forms on the Talkin Loud label, gaining instant success and recognition.
3. Oakie made it into Guinness as well as the highest paid DJ (that was before he started giving interviews about his personal nutritionist, masseuse, yoga instructor, and posh lifestile that turned off most of his british fans and gained him a twatted rep in UK)
4. Tiesto claims to have started spinning at the age of 8 years old?
5. Carl Cox allegedly has a contract stating how many pillz and coke he is supposed to get, his preference for hookers, hotel accomodations, etc. I'll try to find it, so dont' flame me.
6. JP (jonathan peters) sometimes gets mashed during his sets. (allegedly)
7. The guy from Jane's addiction is a DJ now (can't remember his name)
8. BT calls Peter Gabriel his "musical dad"
9. Dido is Rollo's sister and part of Faithless (duh?)
10. I'm going to be a famous producer one day and you'll get to make up stories about me! 
... Now, if I only knew how to play my harmonica well enough to "make it"....

1. ATB - was a construction worker before he succeded
2. Tiesto was giving his dj sets to fashion shops in order them to out them as a backgound music.
3. When Tiesto was last time in Israel he made a move on some hot female reporter... She told him , she is not interested!!!!
4. Superstar DJ Sasha has hospitalised a girl after throwing a record into a crowd at a recent gig in Cardiff. The freak accident occurred at long running club night Time Flies in the middle of a four-hour set.
Witnesses reported seeing the DJ become so frustrated with a skipping record that he threw it into the air, only for it to bounce off the roof before hitting the girl in the face. His set had to be cut short by an hour because Sasha was so distraught about the accident. However there were unconfirmed rumours that bouncers physically removed Sasha from the DJ booth after the incident.
A grave apology posted by Sasha on his website said: "I am writing to say how sorry I am about the accident that happened at my Cardiff gig on Saturday. As you have probably heard, the record I was playing kept sticking, and the third time it happened I just picked up the record and threw it up in the air. I think it must have hit the overhead bar canopy and gone forward into the crowd, where it unfortunately hit the girl."
He continued: "As soon as I realised what had happened I was completely freaked out and couldn�t continue playing. I apologise to the rest of the crowd for cutting my set short, but I was too shaken. I just want to reiterate that it definitely wasn�t thrown at the crowd with any kind of malice. I deeply regret causing any injury, and am desperately trying to get in touch with the girl to she how she is doing."
Henry Blunt, promoter of Time Flies said the accident was tragic because after Sasha left, so did the crowd. He had been trying to book the DJ for ten years: "This was an accident, and there was no intent. The girl required stitches, but it wasn�t that serious."
"Unfortunately, when Sasha left he took the magic with him, and the night came to an end prematurely, right at the peak of his set. We are all hoping for a swift return by Sasha to Cardiff sometime soon."
Read somewhere that Tommy Lee is a Dj. Apparently he refused to play Hip-pop at a lounge gig so he had to be thrown off stage..not sure if this is a good or bad thing
Deepsky (J. Scott and Jason Blum) are both bald headed
Or do they just shave it off?
Paul Van Dyk is a robot from the future, and thats why he never smiles.
Judge Jules Uncle is a famous TV Chef.
I wonder now that Armin has completed his law course he will change his name to Judge Armin...LOL
Is paul van dyks real name Matthias Paul ??? 
Why would he choose Paul Van Dyk as a nickname than??? Armin did finish law school( I talked about with him in chicago after his gig), PVd was a carpenter ( listed in many interviews on his website) and was exiled out of East Berlin with his mother for their anti-communist views ( PVD's father left them at a very early age ( bastard). Bad Boy Bill in 1998-1999 spun cheesy Euro dance on Chicago Dance radio station B96( this was when the infamous DJ Markski from chicago help paved the way for something other than house music on the radio)
Read that Paul Coketenfold showed up to a gig to realize there was only one Turntable. He still rock the party apperebntly ; he just put one records one then stopped and put then next record on.
I heard Tiesto shit in his pants at a show in Detroit because of all the beer he was drinking. Apperently he had to end the show a lil early
Last one was a joke

Oakenfold once turned up for a gig in China just to be given one turntable
and one cassetteplayer, he was able to get another turntable before
the gig started tho.
Once a turntable broke on Oakenfold during a gig which forced him to
play one record, lift it off and place the next one on the table.
Oakenfold once fell off stage while "rocking out".
All according to Mr Oakenfold himself in a Radio 1 interview.
Paul Oakenfold once hurled abuse at various patrons of the Monkey Bar in Glasgow (none of whom he knew) during a drinking session previous to performing a gig whilst sitting behind several burly minders. His security had previously called the Monkey Bar to ask about "their security".
In my opinion he's a TWAT with a capital TWAT!!! which may or may not be a secret according to your taste musical or otherwise.
I know this because I had friends working there at the time who told me.
