can you spin on e

i might spin at some club for 30 mins to open for a metal band....

never span at an actual venue before, so i think to take off the edge i should drop an e...bad idea?

Bad idea.

terrible idea. you'll not be able to beat match or concentrate on anything

go for it, cos if ye cant mix at least you'll still enjoy yerself

charlie would be a safer bet tho, would give you more confidence (s?)

wouldnt really agree with that, maybe differs from person to person.
but ive played at some after parties full of pills and been able to
mix fine!

just dont over do it!

First of all...

He has never spun out of his bedroom. So who the hell knows what will happen sober. So why take the chances on a drug? I think it is a bad idea if he has never tried it before.

No.

It can be done, I just wouldn't go for it my first time playing out.

never tried - performing is tough, let alone when you're all whacked out...

who cares? it's a metal show. nobody will notice/care if you fuck up

For a metal band?

Better bring the breaks/big beat records.

I suck when I spin on pills....
Im going to try it this weekend @ home. The last time I did was new years '00. i got all sidetracked to listening to the track in the headphones Id miss my cues....havent done it since. Its only a 1/2 hour set....whats that like 6 tracks ?If you take it before you get on....you will be done before it starts working.

As an aside, there are some people who will contend that the single best show I ever played in my life was while I was mashed out of my skull on molly...

i've span at parties....and i did fine there..but i mean, this is a venue, with you know, employees and beer for $5

The rare occasion where I did coke and spun, it was horrible. I could not listen to two songs at once, my mind would just zone in on one sound coming from my headphones. It was really good stuff

I like a few drinks and some weed to get in the groove. A couple beers do a great job of helping to loosen up, and as they make my head swirl a little, I think my track selection becomes a bit more interesting.

I spun once on E, and I was either dead fucking on (beatmatching and EQing wise) or it was a complete and total wreck. Thankfully the good mixes outweighed the bad by about 5 to 1, but its still not something I would try live

just get drunk lol

I agree. I just got done spinning for 3 hours and it didn't start sounding good until I had about 4 beers in me.

first club set i had to do, i was nervious as fuck, dropped half a biki, i was over the moon, recorded the set, wasnt all that bad...

You can spin on e, just not well, but you can spin.

Eye wiggles pwn knob movement and finding out what track you're on.

tried it, man it was intense - it was fun, yet frustrating! haha, would I ever spin on the influence again? No way!

Dont do drugs

lol best thread ever.

Spinning on E, my experience has been that I got totally lost in the track and started dancing and forgot to mix out. But I was REALLY fucking high. The only other time i've done it was with e, k, coke, and alc. I was high, rolling, k-hole, and drunk. Did pretty well, although I dont' remember much of the night, people were dancing and having a blast. And that's what really matters. I say for the first time though, vodka cranberries and some blow is the best bet

I second that. It might be your first gig, but if you screw that up there won't be a second gig for sure.

dj's in my opinion who are whacked(on anything) are utter dick heads!

but thats their choice!

like you see guys saying their dj's and so forth yet you see them all undersome influence yet they cant perform most times! myself i have a rule i never even touch alcohol LOL. But thats just the way i see things and i treat my djing with a passion without any drug use!

plus rather use money to buy dj/producing realted stuff thats how tight i am with my money but you got to be to get somewhere.

ive done it a few times at house partys and after partys and Ive always been fine, although there is always that risk of getting into the tune in the headphones so much you forget to mix (danny rampling did this once many years ago). I wouldnt do it at a proper gig, id rather have a few beers, time goes by too quickly when ur mashed!!

however

e > weed for djing, i have real problems when mixing stoned, cant tell 2 tunes apart, get paranoid that everyone on the dancefloor is staring at me etc etc

i can never concentrate on coke. it's the devil. i've spun for a few people while on some shitty rolls, and because they were weak, i could beatmatch pretty well. i guess it just depends.

a big WTF for opening for a metal band though

its loads easier than when you're pissed
