| My Dream is to meet PVD. & I will meet him on 4-13 after he finishes his set at Twilo. I wanna tell him how much his muzik means to me & how it makes me feel. I'd love to schmooze w/him over dinner or drinks & then I'd him 40 ways from sunday. hehe ;) I'm not a slut, just an passionately obessed fanatical groupie. |

well since a large majority of the people didnt understand - or respond possibly - to what i said...its not that i was saying PVD was arrogant. in that circumstance he seemed quite arrogant.
i was just relating this to the oakie experience related originally. somebody did talk about the work aspect tho...neways. peace |

Hmmm .... Well maybe we are being too harsh on Oakie here... Even cool people get tired and irritated.. Its not like we know what its like to be famous, it must get difficult sometimes being in the public eye so much, and of course having a hectic schedule like he does... Can you imagine how often he gets asked for autographs, pictures, etc...
For all we know he got into an argument right before he walked out. We'll never know, but for that one moment you all think he's rude, doesn't appreciate his fans, etc.. That seems a little unfair, he's human and he will have his good days and bad.... I'm sure he loves the music, I'm sure he loves the money (who wouldn't!).. But for us to be so harsh as to say he ONLY does it for money is pretty damn harsh.. Especially when none of us know him and are basing our opninions on random acts, and media... I say give him the benefit of the doubt... thats all..
I've never met him, so I'll hold my judgement until he storms past me and refuses to sign an autograph :D |
there you go. thats what i meant. i will stop posting 800 times in this post. peace. |

Give it some time for PVD to start making BIG bucks and you people will rag on PVD also. "PVD is too commercial! He only plays for newbies! PVD is too popular!" It's what you people like to do. 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. |

| hm, pvd doesn't seem arrogent to me nor does paul oakenfold. what pisses me off is those gay boy bands, 1 million dollars to host a party, big time sell-outs. |

yep. and airbryant i'm not a trance newbie. you know all the personal experiences i've heard from TAs and friends that have told me how arrogant oakie is? i'm not saying he's a BAD dj. i respect almost all his work that he's done. and he spins well too. but personality wise, the dude can really use an attitude adjustment. telling someone that mann this crowd sucks is not cool. dismissing a small little group of 5 fans waiting out in the cold foryou for 4 hours is not cool. get my drift? good. i made no comment on his actual music. only that his djing went downhill for a while because of his attitude towards the crowd. that's it. i never said oakie SUCKS.

Well, I guess if I was in a bad mood I'd flame your ass for saying this. Oakenfold SUCKS. Yeah. There you go. Have you ever had the chance of listening to one of his sets LIVE, not that studio engineered crap. Have you ever seen him play premixed vinyl ? Have you ever heard him let a track play out before putting on a new one ? I have - and all that during a 2hrs set. Even the local warm-up DJs put on a better show than he did - and that for less than 0.1% of the price. Well, if that doesn't sound like a bad DJ then I don't know what does.
Mr "I am a leet raver now" Airbryant.
And I know I'll step on a lot of people's toes now but I have to say that PvD too is very commercial ... for a few years now, along with Tiesto, van Buuren and most other trance DJs. Do you think that they would be where they are now without commercialization ? I doubt that. No true underground artist would EVER demand the ammounts of money Oakenfold, van Dyk and co. demand for a gig. What happened to playing for the love of it ? Think about it. |
