What happened to playing for the love of it ? Think about it.




Eventually everyone has to start working for the cash. I am sure they start out playing for the love of it, but as it becomes their full time job then the money becomes important also. We hear all the time that teachers are underpaid, but shouldn't they just be teaching for the love of teaching? No, and unfortunately that is no longer the case with DJing at the top levels. If someone is willing to pay the high fees, I can't see a DJ declining to take the money, whether it be Oakie, Sasha, or DJ Newguy.

I apologize if I came off sounding like an EL33T idiot. I am far from EL33T (but may be an idiot). I just think the whole Oakenfold sux thing is so played out and there is nothing to say that hasn't been said over and over. We should be talking about how great this new up and coming DJ is instead of talking about how much we hate somebody.

You're so anti-conformist that you become conformists. The way I can tell a trance newbie is when they jump on the "Oakie Sucks" bandwagon. Anybody whose been around long enough is already talked out about it, and now so am I.

BTW, I think PVD is great also.

U got it all wrong the Newbies LOVE Oakie. A lot of ppl go into trance after hearing tranceport. Oakie is easy to ingest...he dumbs down the muzik.

DJ's have bills....it is their job. Pvd doesn't demand 23G's for 2 hours.

Skywarp, Back up what u say. Sayin Tiesto, AVB, & Tiesto are commerical w/no support or reasons isn't substancial.

Wink tiesto was a damn nice dj :)

speaking of nice djs.. when tiesto was in toronto for wintergalactic, i got the pleasure of meeting him. he was a very nice guy, took alot of pictures with us, and anyone that wanted them. you could just see that he was genuinely excited to be there. i am guessing he was just as excited about spinning for everyone, as everyone was excited to see him.

we were staying in the same hotel as him, and some of the people in our room said he was down in the lobby chilling after the party, and he was cool about taking even more pictures.

now this story takes the cake at wintergalactic 1, a friend had a tiesto record he wanted autographed. so he handed it to him on stage. not only did he autograph it, he dropped it on the decks and spun it for the kid. now thats what i call class

So what does everyone that says Oakey only plays Ubik, Silnce, Bullit in a Gun think about that WMC vid? I heard none of those songs, yet thats all he plays? That doesn't quite make sense.

-Just adding fuel to the fire!- hehe its fun. peace.

Funny, but I noticed a lot of newbies LOVE PVD right away.. So what does that say, nothing, they are popular and those names get mentioned a lot.. thus Newbies download their stuff and sing their praises

I just don't get the money thing, if PVD got paid exactly what Oakie gets it doesn't bother me a bit... If you are in high demand you get paid more money, does that make PVD bad when that does happen to him, NO!... I would pay $60 to see PVD spin, I doubt however I would do the same for Oakie.. But thats my personal preference, doesn't mean lots of other people will...

This is his CAREER, would any of you turn down a raise because you love your job so much... HELL NO... hahahaha... Crazy stuff, you idealists are wacko, if you become famous you'll jump at the oppertunity to make money just like the big DJ's do..

Cheers,

Thor.....
