Locally I'm starting to notice this, and I just saw this being discussed on Harmony Central. Topic: "Why do you guys HATE DJs so much???" I only posted it cuz I noticed that when I post a new thread it would GO OFF SUBJECT and start to get negative in how the concept of djing is bullshit! I probably shouldn't have started it cuz it seems I got alot of people angry. For that I apologize!!!But, if any DJs out there have an opinion on this I can sure use your help???"This is what I had to say about it:To me a part of being a DJ is to respect the artist and the craft. I can show you alot of DJ's who will agree with me in this. The act of Collecting records will inherintly reveal alot about music as a whole. It's existence, and it's necessity. Truly knowing alot about many different forms of music will expand your acceptance and tastes of music. It also reflects how short lived the careers are of most musicians. To me a part of being a Guitarist is having alot of Ego. It is something most guitarist feel once they feel theyre ability level is above someone elses. Just like an Athlete, or dancer. Why guitarists are so disrespectful towards other musicians, is because of ego. A guitarist feels they're more worthy of respect then a keyboard player, because keyboards are probably an easier to understand instrument. The fact that guitar players are not only understanding but also CREATING and expanding the musical landscape. As long as they stay ignorant to the process of expressing themselves with other instruments. This ignorance gives guitarists power, and respect. So, it is easy to understand why modern guitar driven music doesn't expand. It is easy to understand why DJ's are becoming more and more popular. It is easy to understand why a DJ will respect a guitar player, but a Guitar player will never respect a DJ. The guitarist will only feel that the DJ will never CREATE, but can only re-create.- spidey*Chopped in half.

Wrong one, this isn't the "CAPRI" thread.
plaese to report to the CAPRI thread.
Show some respect, Young Phonics.
But what about the DJ's that got no skill and dig? Well there not a DJ they Record Collectors! Like me... & even then I have issues...
Pretty much. You would think people would feel self conscious about jocking dude.
"Not now mom!"
"You're not even my real mom--I don't have to listen to crink's mom!"
This is how I kinda pictured Young_Rillz as a flipant teenager in the A.T.L. Bud Bundy with a sour-puss.
really ?
as a (bad) guitar player, i always thought keyboards were way harder to play than guitar ...

Alright, I can agree with you there.

believe it or not, for every shitty "DJ" there are 10 shitty "bands" so yeah, most small venues can make more money off a DJ.
somehow I can't stop laughing about teeny hipsters reworking those same tired ass three chords and getting up in some DJ's nuts because he's taking "gigs"
who is that cakelord?
