What Are The DJ's Like In Real Life?

What are these guys like in real life? I've heard Tiesto is a cool guy and that one DJ refused to go on stage unless he got to go on right then and couldn't wait another 15 minutes for the finishing DJ that was allready on there so they send him off .

What have you heard about them or what do you know from personal experience?

that dj you are talking about is marco v i think
but the only dj i have ever met was dj ganesh, a local dj in los angeles, he was really cool, and when i told him i loved his mixing, he was like very thankful and shit, usually if they arent big headed because of their popularity, they are cool, i would say

tiesto is a wanker, he completly ignored me at SSS and all i did was say hello! grrr!

some of the soundest ive experienced are dumonde, ferry, giotto, reverb. also armin that one time we saw him at crasher but didnt get to see him much coz eventually everyone was startin to swamp the dj box! but the others i have seen/spoke to quite a lot and they are the best by far!!! in fact i cant decide between they are all so friendly!

I heard a story about Tiesto. I don't know exactly how it goes so someone please correct me where I'm wrong. There was a couple and they met Tiesto before his show. They said it was their aniversary and during the show he pointed at them and smiled or something. It sounded better in the original story so someone please post it up lol or I'll have to find it on his site again.

Johan Gielen is supposed to be really nice.
The DJ where there was the whole time thing was Marco V.

Marc Romboy (Marc Et Claude) is also a really nice guy.
Errr, who else....

lots of them point and smile, i think loads of them were doin it at SSS, like fergie and picotto.

the guys ive been talking to ive actually talked to quite a lot, so you get a good impression of what they are like, and they are great. i was just annoyed with tiesto coz he didnt sya hello or anything, i think that leaves a bad impression. i mean he even heard me and looked aroudn then turned back (this was outside).

anyway did any of you hear about ferry? he went down to sss to go and enjoy the party (i told him the night before he should come ) and the staff wouldnt let him in so he had to go home! i couldnt belive it when i heard it! although dumonde did go up on stage to say hello to armin for a few minutes, hehe. they wernt playing though

What a prick. I guess popularity can do that too you or maybe he was having a bad day or something. You really can't beleive everything you hear all the time.

yeh the whole marco V at crasher saga, they ended up replacing him with les hemstock who was there at the time because hes a good friend of matt hardwick, who was the dj marco V wanted to replace!

the only "big" dj (in Belgium he is ) i ever talked to was jan vervloet. he seemed a nice guy, before he started his set we were talking about how big the crowd was, about the city i live in, etc.

dj's are human, that's for sure

I'm at least glad that they wouldn't stand for it and when he said now or never they said bye bye we have a replacement lol.

Tiesto threw his headphones into the crowd, when he spun at the gov. in toronto.

Ferry's the nicest dj I've ever met. Really down to earth, always talks with a smile, takes time to talk to you... acts like a long time friend

PvD's a nice guy too. He'll talk to you for a bit (especially if you talk to him in German, hehe) and offer to shake your hand before rushing off to his next gig half way a round the world.

Tiesto's alright. Doesn't seem very friendly but I'm sure I just caught him on a bad day...

DJ Giotto is a very friendly and kind person, it's very fun to talk to him.

Nic Chagall and DJ Bossi seem to be nice too, talked to them once yet, to both of them, they are always nice for a conversation.

DJ Lee aka Megara is cool too, always shows you the tunes you asked for. He's fun too.

After all, they're just humans, and not gods though

Hybrid (Mike Truman and Chris Healings) were really nice to talk to when I saw them.

Sandra Collins is a bitch.

ferry corsten

I met ferry corsten at GLOW in washington DC.... during the show i put my cell phone to the window making a request, and he actually played it (though i think it was a coincidence) he stayed after the show and was such a chill guy... he shook my hand and talked for a few minutes.. he got so into his set and spun some really nice tracks he is a good guy and also my fav DJ


Posted by Spad on Jun-26-2002 20:43:

Of the ones I've met

Picotto = sound as they come
Dumonde = Sound
Tiesto = Ignored me
Ferry = Unfortunatly he actually bothered speaking to me. Complete twat.
Rank 1 = Both as sound as they come
