Now you know these outdoor creatures, they like it full one psy all the way. Suzuki came and puched his new style banging trance (hard trance) and massive build ups. At the end of his set, the crowd was moaning that he was playing too much house. I was off my nelly and really enjoyed his set, so I went up behind the stage to catch a glimpse of this jap hero, and low and behold, some spaced out psy freak, plants a cream pie smack into tsuyoshis face! pooof!!...and then handed him a towel!! Needless to say, I guess its the last time I will see him in my town. Pitty, as he rocks...trance or house, whatever, the guy can mix. |

| Originally posted by Skaya The thing that pains me the most to think about when these big DJ's do things like that is how much they got payed, when I'd play at any of these clubs for free on shitty equipment :/ |
One of the bigger considerations of a DJ in a position of having to deal with lousy equipment is that if the crowd is less than pleased with his or her performance, the DJ will have suffered a recognizable hit to the reputation and that does count for something while you're trying to build rapport and consistency. If there are interviews afterwards, it is likely an explanation will be given for why the sound quality was poor.
After all, if you were hyped up for a great show, wouldn't you want a great show? And for legal reasons as has been previously stated on TA, if a DJ is contractually guaranteed a specific set of equipment in excellent working condition, than the performer should receive nothing less than the spec.
There have been exceptions when the DJ turned the crappy situation around and did something like smash a record to pieces and then aced a scratch routine using the itty bitty pieces a la DJ Swamp (not to be confused with DJ Swamper 
) and got the primal energy soaring. Those kind of "saves", not unlike a drummer thrashing a set of sticks, are amazing.
Like Vladimir Horowitz on an old, detuned upright . . .
maybe the have trots.

| Originally posted by isoterra Where did you hear that from? It certainly looked pretty busy by that time... we had to queue to get in the main arena! I thought he'd just been delayed (stuck in 'traffic', ho ho ho)... something must have gone wrong at some point though because they were very behind schedule and Armin only ended up playing for ~40 minutes or so. |

| Originally posted by isoterra Did he tell you that personally or something? And even if that was the reason then well, lets be honest, it was Scott Bond's timeslot he swapped with... how many of all the people there travelled just to see Scott Bond; the mediocre b-list DJ who only got to play because he was co-owner of crasher at that time? Compare that to how many Tiesto fans were stuck outside in the freezing cold come the start of his original timeslot (I got in just before Scott came on and there were still SHITLOADS of people behind me... thanks to the retarded NEC door staff)... I'd say asking to swap times would have been a curteous thing to do for all the people outside, even if it did mess the times up overall (I *think* G&D ended up extending their set until Scott was Ready). |

| Originally posted by dj_lane Nickleback (not a DJ, but a performing artist nonetheless) were in portugal and they were on their second song and they kept on getting rocks and food thrown at them. then the lead singer got on the mic "are there any Nickleback fans in portugal?" then he throws his glass of water in the crowd and walks off the stage showing the finger. i saw this video on the net and laughed continously for a long time, if i find it ill post it |

| Originally posted by Mr.Mystery A finnish rock band, The Rasmus, had a knife thrown at them from the audience. It hit the singer on the neck, luckily it wasn't the sharp end. Also, one of the finnish Idols was performing at a freebie outdoor festival and had broken bottles thrown at him. One of them hit a dancer in the arm and she was hurt pretty badly. Needless to say the band(s) walked out of stage on both accounts. |

| Originally posted by cybertranceJPK Yoji was awesome in Osaka last weekend 8/20. no technical problems, played dumonde - cold... i was a happy camper. the velfarre story is funny to me for several reasons... 1. velfarre gets alot of hype as having the best equipment in japan. 2. velfarre is owned by yojis record label. you would think that they would have fixed it, or switched him to the main dj booth at the back of the dance floor.... he had every right to walk off. |

| Originally posted by Laushinameee tiesto once walked off stage for about ten minutes & left a really shit loop track on, during the time he was off there was loads of sound guys trying to fix whatever problem he had pointed out... he still never looked to0 happy & couldnt mix all the way through the rest of his really crap set... kept pointing to the monitors but the djs before & after him had absolutely no problems |
I spinned into this hallway once, well, not a hallway, it was an old metro station (closed), you know what shape I'm talking about now right ? It had terrible echo I couldn't make sence of what was mixing and what was in beat or not. If I heared a kick in my headphones, I would hear it back a second later from the echo lol, insane. Moved the monitors closer and didn't have any trouble anymore.
