But bands convey their music in one way, by playing their instruments.
DJ's convey the music by playing it and mix it and whatnot. It's just a really different thing and probably ALOT easier than actually playing the instruments, I don't know... I've never DJed before.

Well, either one can be easy or hard depending how much effort one puts to it, really. It's not really about skills anyway, I don't think neither is "harder" than the other, just completely different

Well no wonder you think DJs have no skill - you don't know how to reconize it in the first place.

You pick up this working girl who's hooked on smack, who hussles and scores. "That's all I do" she says, she says "Ten bucks for head, fifteen for half-and-half". She says "Three hits a day at 35 per", you say "That's seven tricks a day at least", but she says "Sometimes I get lucky. Once this guy gives me a bill-and-half just to eat me, only time I ever came".
You figure you can save her. You sell your color tv, that keeps her off the streets a whole day. You hawk your typewriter for one jolt. Then your shotgun, your watch. A week later you say "Listen I'm a little short", but she says "No scratch, no snatch". You say "Look it is better to give", but she says "Beat off creep".
One night they spot you on the street in your skibbies trying to sell your shoes. You tell them who you are, but they nail you. Then she happens by and she says "Christ you look fucked", she says "Hang tough!". But you don't say anything, you just think "what a bum rap for a nice, sensitive guy like me".

Bullshit thread. Something easy can be good and something hard can be bad. I can make a lovely sandwich in 2 minutes, and i can make an advanced dish in 2 hours that tastes like shit. There is no direct relation between (level of) skill or effort needed and how the result is interpreted.

Then DJing and making music are two different things. There is a demand for guys who play records in a continous mix because ppl like it. A pianist with 30 years of training who can play blindfolded will not satisfy the needs of those ppl. In that context he sucks, but that does of course not mean that being good at playing piano is shit, it's just a different thing.

Doesn't matter. The two things should always be segregated.

To those who think that learning to DJ is easy: you will be surprised how many dj's there are who have been doing what they do for 8+ years and still cannot go through playing a 1 hour set without trainwrecking at least once.

Examples: Tiesto, Pete Tong ..... Pulsedriver, Blank & Jones
