That's why you gotta make sure the gig isn't being recorded :p |

| the argument that dj's don't have time to search for music or whatever is a weak defense. all serious dj's have busy schedule's...and yet not all of them whore themselves 24/7...it's just about the effort you put into it. |

I don't know if you understood my post, though. I was pointing out that yes, he has time to find "obscure" tracks. |
I'm not retarded... Perhaps you should read mine again :p
I'm in no way defending these guys from critique, but people should really take a step back and actually observe the time that goes into this business and quit whining. |

I'm not whining. They still get gigs, they still rock crowds. Its just a different way of doing it. I'm not into those kinds of DJs. |

No musician that actually creates their own music makes a tonne of money. |
like The Beatles for example?

Beside, the only reason (yeah, the only reason) they make money in the first place is because they promote their own work by 'whoring'. So, yeah, they would either starve or get a day job if they didn't 'whore'. |
that's partly true, musicians sell their music thanks to their music being promoted in whatever ways.
what i'm saying is - we're not talking about 'musicians' in the usual sense, so what's your point? :o |

Yes, like the beat..... No, I was mostly just bashing. I know it ain't true.
But, DJ's are musicians in the usual sense. My point is that it's a job, like any other job, and part of that job is promoting. There is no artist, EVER, that does not promote their music. That's what concerts are for. |

DJs are musicians in the same way as someone who cuts out different parts of paintings and pastes them all onto a blank canvas is a painter. |

Well, ok... I can give you that. However, we're talking about DJs who are also producers. They are musicians. |

When you DJ you're being a DJ. When you Produce you're being a Producer. When you write music, you're being a musician.
Don't confuse what they are or what they do. |

So guitar players aren't musicians until they write the music by themselves?
Jimi Hendrix was a musician but the guitarist in Slip Knot isn't?
(hopefully my example suffices, I haven't got a clue as to who writes the music in Slip Knot)
Musicians are involved in music (with the exception being critics and iPod-retailers). It's as simple as that. |
