Alright so i was playing out on a wednesday night. and the dj before was playing a record..i didnt care for it much..it was old..and not that good..but to each his own. during the second break down..i killed it..but tastefully..and a reason. The track i was bringing in startd breaks..and changes tempo..by like 4 bpm when it turns into the trance..and he got all pissed..saying that could sctrach his record..and blah
i told him there was no disrepect in it..but could it have scracthed his record..i dont think so

You just switched off the turntable?

That won't scratch a record... I did thousands of times here in my bedroom, and all of my records are still in mint condition...

The only thing that could scratch a record, is moving the needle over the record in a way it shouldn't be going, like from the label to the outside...

yeah..i know this to..but the guy was freaking out...it was so hard to be nice though..i wanted to tell him so bad..his set sucked..but i just didnt have it in me :(
oh well
the club invited me to come back next week..and not him ;)
RAR!

hey cheggy
What a fool. Using his theory, all of his records would be scratched to all from cueing. It's the same thing, just doing it faster, although from his point, maybe you shouldn't have done anything to his track, but rather just waited for it to play out
migitymike
it was during the 2nd break down..!
i think i let it play out enough

spinning down doesn't scratch the record. it's just like playing a record, except at a slower speed (that keeps on decreasing)....

that guy was a moron. if i was in your position migitymike, i would have punched him. :toothless j/k

but seriously, it was good you kept your cool. the worst thing would have been to start arguing with him..

i would have wound up and bitch slapped him

powering down... scratch his record!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
then by his theory, his records would be scratched to hell and back :)

You should have said... look man.. see no scratches...

It only scratches when you do this....

LMFAO!
