Just got back from seeing PVD!!!

PVD stopped in Tempe on his Rock the Vote tour. 1st time he's ever been to Arizona for all I know. AWESOME set!! The whole place went mad screaming for encore sets. Does anyone know PVD personally? He was a lot different than I expected. He was very serious and mild in his mannerisms. It was like he never stepped out of his "For An Angel" music video. I also saw him wearing a ring - is he married??

I got his autograph and shook hands with him afterwards. PICTURES WILL COME SOON! Make sure to check back and see them!

Cheers!

PvD seems to be a laid back kinda guy. It's cool to see when he does get into his sets, cause he'll jump up and clap his hands above his head. He's married, his wife is Natascha van Dyk. If you own the Gobal CD/DVD Combo, you can see her on the DVD performing the vocals to the song "Together We Will Conquer." I just found out PvD will be in Miami on July 4th performing at a free concert. So I'm psyched about that. Can't wait to see pics from Tempe.

I love reading posts like yours. I'm glad that you had so much fun and that you were able to meet him! Be sure to post pics when you can. I met and hung out with Paul a couple of years ago and he was as laid back and quiet as he comes across when he spins or in one of his videos. Don't get me wrong...he was fun to hang out with, but he definitely seemed like the quiet type. PvD will always be one of my favorite DJ's simply because of the way that he treated me as a person.

Yea, I know. Especially Tiesto. Sometimes I wonder if he had his face altered just so that he's smiling all the freaking time. Like The Joker from "Batman"

It's all about the music, not the dj's personality

Posted by latebloomer on Apr-27-2004 01:27:

I do agree that it is all about the music, but my own opinion is that the DJ's aura does add something to the show. I saw Armin and Ferry a couple of months ago, and there is nothing like wathching THEM jump around for 3 or more hours. We were glued to watching the DJ booth for those 2 shows...then, last weekend we saw PVD in Chicago. We LOVED the tunes, and the crowd, and the experience, but watching him is a real buzz kill! We did our own thing and avoided watching him until the last 2 songs. Even then he looked like he didn't he was having much fun . But hey, I don't know what is in his brilliant little mind...all I know is I prefer a DJ with some life! YAY! So, leave the jumpin' to Tiesto, AVB, and others...and just love PVD for what he is

*roofles* Yeah I hate it when DJs look like they're enjoying themselves.

I thought the same thing when I saw that. I could care less either way, but it is nice to see a DJ so into his set. You can't help but get into the set with him. Fan interaction is always nice. It doesn't mean that I like PvD any less. He's just more reserved than some others. Some people are that way. Ferry on the other hand...

this is probably the nicest thread I have read on this subject manner I know a dj who seems to be similar to PvD in personality, so I see PvD differently. I have always enjoyed watching him spin, reminds me of my best friend and so I see him (PvD) having a great time. Maybe not jumping around as much as others, which is fun too, but very in tune with the music and crowd, and so genuine... different personalities connect with the crowd in there own unique way... so maybe it is the similar personality types...and I know how much fun my best friend has....

anyway, I think it is his passion, and that it is always fun to watch someone doing what they love... no matter how they express it

Posted by h0tsweetbabyd0l on Apr-27-2004 05:53:

totally agree with u

Exactly. Not everyone is outgoing...some people are quiet and stand offish. Why should it be surprising that a DJ be that way? After all...he's still a person first. As long as they smile from time to time and make eye contact I'm happy.
