Ok, Pyro..here you go:
On Thanksgiving Eve Z100 had Oakenfold on the radio for a couple of hours talking about his upcoming show at EXIT and how successful and amazing he is.
He took a few calls from some people who told him how much they adored him and they had all of his CDs. Then my big mouth was on the scene. I called up and they put me through to Paul..the first words out of my mouth were "Hi Paul, I love you!!" (I couldn't help it!) but then I said: "I want to know what you think of the rumors that you have SOLD OUT??" Both he and the DJ were surprised and Oakie said he was totally unaware of these rumors! I said "Well, I HATE to be the one to break it to you, but many people think you play harder and longer for the UK then for the US." He said he tried to play hard for everyone and the DJ asked if I meant SUCCESS and not SELL OUT? I said "No, I don't deny your success, Paul, but come ON!" Well, the call pretty much ended after that..heehee.
I have to admit, it was great to be able to say that to Oakenfold. I am NOT an Oakie-hater...Oakenfold was my first love, he is the first DJ I ever saw live... But the Paul who OWNED me in 98-00 seems to have been replaced by this MTV, Z100 personality who doesn't seem to care about his true fans anymore. I had hoped that our brief conversation would piss him off enough to play extra hard at EXIT just to prove me wrong. I guess not, though, from what I have heard.
Anyway, just wanted to share that with you guys, as my non-addict friends have no idea who "Paul SomethingorOther" is. Oh, and P.S. - sell out or not, that accent rocks! LOL :crazy: |

Yeah...I did not actually believe that he was not aware of the rumors..but he could not admit to them, I guess. So what DID he say to you? |

sold out, played out, hated on...whatever u wanna call it...what it really comes down to is that he doesnt want to "retire" lols he's out of the limelight now and he cant take it so he's making all moves to get back the popularity that he had...granted he did do alot for the scene, but please man, just put the headphones down. hang them up already. he's hurting the scene more by going mainstream then he would if he just retired. i guess thats what happens when greed and money get to you and you see it slowly decline...you grasp for any plug you can get, any income for him. but this z100 , eH...bullocks...
this is just my word... |

actually when I talked to him, I told him Ibiza was kind of sketchy. I was scratching my head trying to figure it out. So he was like, "Don't worry, my next CD (Bunkka) is going to have some whicked choons.":nervous: If I ever see him again I'm gonna throw the cd at him while he's doing his god pose :stongue: :stongue: :stongue:
I only got to talk to him for like 30 seconds, btw that man is ing hairy!!! I have never seen anyone with more hair, my god!! :eyespop: |
