Agree with the Brazilian LadyMan, all I'm seeing there is "Cuntmaster" too. :lol:

Thanks Bournemouth.

Swift is a legend, I was there at the Albert Hall when he won the world title in 1989.

DJing is not as easy as it looks to some.

DB10Gooner hates it because it involves a sense of rhythm and timing.

As opposed to setting an amp to full volume and wantonly strumming a guitar fantasising about being Jimmy Page.

Motherfucker... :box:
:lol: :wink:

Cannot accept that ANY single DJ has anything beyond the most basic sense of timing in 4/4. I can play in 3/4, 7/4, 4/4, 5/4. You name it, DJ JazzyQuartz, I can play in it.

For the record, Jimmy Page was good at what he did. But what he did was at the "basic" end of the guitar playing spectrum. He was quite limited technically and really just a riff writer at best. Not an insult to Page, they were great riffs and formed the basis of great songs, but he doesn't come near the likes of Randy Rhoads, EVH, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai, John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert, Richie Blackmore and Joe Satriani (to name but a few!) for technical playing and mastering the instrument.

Your average 14 year old shredder could blow Page out of the water now days! 8)

This is the clip I always show people. Different time signatures? No problem! It's different tools from "traditional" music but turntablism is the live remixing & creation of new music from existing beats, breaks & samples in front of your eyes. That clip is taken from the movie "Scratch" and there's a great quote just before this scene, something like "a turntable is a musical instrument as long as you can see it to be one. You're dealing with notes, measures, rhythm, timing... It's just different tools."

My favourite routine of all time is this by the way; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0SEAfl_Fh04 ;)

Dan. Can I call you Dan? You are dead to me. DEAD. TO. ME. :x :(



:-P :wink:

Sorry, no mate - it just does not compare to playing a real instrument. It would be like comparing kids playing FIFA 13 on their PS3 to Messi playing on an actual pitch for an actual team.

Dead to me, Dan. :cry:

Dj craze is so so good, the way he's pioneered the use of traktor has taken turntablism to a new level.

I do see DB10's point, but I grew up idolising dj's not rock bands or guitarists ect. The skill and technique is unreal and ultimately it's all about hyping the crowd, creating 'those' special moments at a club or gig much the same way a band does when it all comes together perfectly.

I love bands and dance music and everything in between, I have guitars and decks but if I could choose either to be famous for it would always be the decks.

One day...... :lol: :barscarf:

I am not a DJ though, as a Hip Hop fan I am just speaking up for them.
I checked out some of those guitarists you mention, having only heard of Blackmore off the top of my head.
It is all very technically excellent, but a bit "Hlebbish".
What is the end result?
Some good tunes for sure, but quite a lot of noise too.

DJs these days are akin to producers; they cut n scratch and transform and juggle and sample other tunes live and play drums machines live and synths too.

I would though take a good pianist, drummer or bassist over a good DJ or Axeman any day.
