while we are on teh subject of people behaving badly, radio 1 has put up a stream of Oasis's famous interview, where they made fun of everything, cursed like sailors and wanted to beat up the interviewers.

poor okey. Sounds like he lost the plot all right. I went to see Tsuyoshi Suzuki at a Vortex outdoor trance bash in 2001. Now you know these outdoor creatures, they like it full one psy all the way. Suzuki came and puched his new style banging trance (hard trance) and massive build ups. At the end of his set, the crowd was moaning that he was playing too much house. I was off my nelly and really enjoyed his set, so I went up behind the stage to catch a glimpse of this jap hero, and low and behold, some spaced out psy freak, plants a cream pie smack into tsuyoshis face! pooof!!...and then handed him a towel!! Needless to say, I guess its the last time I will see him in my town. Pitty, as he rocks...trance or house, whatever, the guy can mix.

Originally posted by Trance Nutter I heard about this. What happened is that the next DJ (a local resident) was pissed as a mutha, came on and was trying to cue up his record while Tiesto was apparently blowing the roof off with Adagio. Tiesto got pissed at the drunk DJ who was getting in his way, just ripped Adagio off the TT, pointed at the drunk DJ and left. The DJ didn't even realise! I don't blame Tiesto in this example - I probably woulda punched the wanker out.

Haha wasn't that Noel Sanger?

Yoji is always moaning about the speakers!

Um... A water bottle and a rock thrown at me would get me pissed off too.

Those are some pretty rude fans.

couldn't agree more (though i dont dj yet, soon)

One of the bigger considerations of a DJ in a position of having to deal with lousy equipment is that if the crowd is less than pleased with his or her performance, the DJ will have suffered a recognizable hit to the reputation and that does count for something while you're trying to build rapport and consistency. If there are interviews afterwards, it is likely an explanation will be given for why the sound quality was poor.

After all, if you were hyped up for a great show, wouldn't you want a great show? And for legal reasons as has been previously stated on TA, if a DJ is contractually guaranteed a specific set of equipment in excellent working condition, than the performer should receive nothing less than the spec.

There have been exceptions when the DJ turned the crappy situation around and did something like smash a record to pieces and then aced a scratch routine using the itty bitty pieces a la DJ Swamp (not to be confused with DJ Swamper ) and got the primal energy soaring. Those kind of "saves", not unlike a drummer thrashing a set of sticks, are amazing.

Like Vladimir Horowitz on an old, detuned upright . . .
