jealously... Kills..!!!!
you guys are acting like lil babies on their period!! j/k.. jesus ing christ.. seriously come on now...
I don't see any of you producing or having such a busy schedule like oakie. give the guy some break.
and who cares if he looks like a monkey... i think monkeys are adorable!!! :p :p
everytime i see him which is hasnt been just one or two times.. i've seen this guy like over 8 times... and all those times were wonderful.. u guys have no idea how many ppl respect him for what he does, and NO he is not doing for the ing money...he can't help but being that one Dj who makes more money than any other for the past 4 years in a roll...
he enjoys what he does.. have u ever seen him spin in front of a crowd.. and how whenever he plays a song that he really enjoys.. he closes his eyes.. and pretend like he is in a different dimension or something.. and he smiles and puts his hands up and starts dancing.. I mean jesus....i think we already know how many ppl in here hate him.. but bashing his work all over the internet is not taking you guys anywhere ,to me this is just a waste of ur time.. get over the fact that you think he sucks.. cause he is been in the top of the world .
oh and just for the record.. he is not my favorite DJ either... yet you dont see me complaining about his every moves.. if you guys dont like him at all.. THEN ing dont follow his every step.!!
jesus

right,
this is ecxactly how I feel about the Djs I dont enjoy as much as the ones I do. It is common sense people. If you don't like him then stop going to his website, stop reading his interviews, stop going to the events his is in, I mean does it really get you guys anywhere??
I don't know if it is just me, but I seriously have a lot of respect and although I hate PVD, or George Acosta I don't go to message boards for that, I go for what I like. And that doesnt keep them from playing at my club either.
life goes on, and when you all get older you tell me if bashing oakie got you any trophie. |

Yup. Girls are always right. :)
Oaky has had som great sets, Tranceport being one of the best, and the mix that got many people into trance. He's also had some great productions.
Now, he has changed his style, i say good for him. he needed a change. I hate his new stuff, but what would be the point of bashing him? nothing at all, unless you think he is coming here to read this stuff! :rolleyes:
anyway, i like a lot of oaky, especially his old essential mixes, his track selection rock. but honestly though, i must say, for the "worlds greatest dj" he sure can't mix well! |

how is he a sell out? because he switched up his music style a bit? because hes world renowned instead of just known in europe...because hes the highest paid dj in thw world? is that why he sold out? no u guys have no clue...he worked his ass off to get where he is and to make top buck he proved himself countless times...if i ever hear another comment abt him "selling out" im gonna make personal comments abt that persons mama |
wurd.. :)
whatever you guys think, he is still a in wicked DJ. he is still one of the best in the world.
he has broadened his music horizons... is this a crime..? maybe he is sick of making the same old thing over and over.
although.. he needs a bullet to the head for southern sun.. its poooooo :p:) |

THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH WANTING MONEY!!!!
It's sacraficing talent for money that should be frowned apon, Oakey is not doing this, he's just changing genres.
Of course, he's not just doing it for money, there's lots of other reasons, but ya know that's probably a core reason... :D
No, if Oakenfold started spinning Castles in the Sky, then yes, he would be selling out. But exploring new genres for whatever reason is not.
THAT'S THAT. |

N'Sync are hardly a band, they don't play they're own instruments and mime on stage :p
Talent - Collectively U2 have consistently produced some of the most wonderfully written songs from the past 20 years, and they're STILL as popular now as ever (are boyz 2 men :p).
Sales - U2 sell an enourmous amount of albums compared to other "pop bands", as groups like N'Sync and Westlife make most of they're money thru singles, NOT albums, they're albums may go straight to number one, but they're staying power in the charts is minimal, and will drop out of the top 20 within a few weeks of release, whilst U2 consistently stay in the top 20 for anything between 4-6 months, and have a heavy selling patch when they release a new single, something which rarely happens with other bands.
Oh and NME and Q have voted them biggest band in the world every other year since god knows when...so there :p |

hmmmm i wonder if trance/electronic music would have advanced this far if there was no oakie... the truth is that oakie is one of the few pioneers of "electronic music". so i think we should be really thanking him instead of bashing him =) so, who cares if he cant beatmatch that well, he is a ing awsome producer!!! oh and about the whole mainstream thing..... i think every style of music goes from underground to mainstream... there is no way around it. if themusic is catchy and appealing.. it will always become mainstream. rap was once underground.. so was new wave.... hell, how do you expect these artisit to make a living???? =)
oh and by the way.... shame on those that are compareing U2 to nsync, boys2men, and other pop bands!!! U2 is legendary!!!! hmmm i guess there are alot of youngsters in this forum. |

I watched an Interview with Oakie the other day on Uk Play (british cable channel), and the subject of money came up. Basically he gets a lot of offers to DJ all around the world, and if all the offers were put together he could DJ in 8/9 venues every saturday night. This just isn't possible, so he checks things out, asks other DJ's what the atmosphere and things are like, and then makes a decision, and often goes for the Venue which is offering less money. He plays lots of venues for next to nothing (the one in the desert, can't remember what it's called, he did that for free), and he played in a small town in the US for $800, because one of his fans wrote to him cos he never plays anywhere near, so he went and played in the local club, and he'd been offered a 100 times that amount to play somewhere else in the US. He's making a living, doing what he loves, making a hell of a lot of money, but he's making his fans happy. So less of the bashing :p |
