um, more like Pioneer FAIL. fuckin' fragile toys is what that crap is.

anyone able to translate what he said?

Given that the disc failed in two different players, I'm gonna go with the disc being bad, not the players.

Either that or TERRIBLE luck...

But I mean c'mon, are we really expecting David Guetta to roll in and slay some room? Let's get real here.

that shit was funny it shows that technical difficulties can happen to anyone. I have had my share of shit fuking up on me during gigs and man it sucks

Sorry it looked so easy from over there...didnt know Id have to actually work the music....


lol

It could happen to anybody.....lol

and this was in my lovely country :P

epic fail

C'mon guys - if CDJs were really that crap, they wouldn't be used in clubs. Every piece of gear screws up at some point, especially anything running from a computer. My MBP crashed typing words yesterday.

Steve Jobs FAIL!!!

He was cool!

hahahahaha

I really hate it that Jesus pose...you are playing music from a CD player, not splitting the fucking atom.

I really hate that Jesus pose...you are playing music from a CD player, not splitting the fucking atom.

hey said something like :

"SO that's horrible. It'S unbelievable because i made that cd today and it's a super CD and it'S also horrible because i don't know what to play now instead..."

Sorry...my dad used to be a minister.

...and because of my low budget I couldn´t afford a backup cd... too bad guys!

if i was him i would of smashed the CDJ the crowd would of loved it

honestly i feel bad for him he was prob on a ton of drugs n now while being jacked up he now has too think and plan a set on the fly poor bastard haaa

typing words, eh.....

dude! i was thinking he was gonna do that when he picked it up! that would have been AWESOME had he done that. of course he would have "only" gotten 74,000 euro for the gig. LOL

yeah, he really shouldve smashed it Swamp style

lol

....those are the best sets !!!!

haaa ya y drunk sets r way better than my sober ones (say the people i work with).... this is my excuse to stay drinking n i'm sticking to it lol

that blows!!!

Best. Comment. Ever.

whyd he give up?

fuck even i couldnt bring myself to finish that misquote,,,,,damnit i think i may be developing a conscience

proably realised it was mostly BS

wow.... did that just happen!

awkward silence

*****whistling******

which one close to out of line post A or common opinion on this board post B

The gospel is not bs.

*****continues to whistle********

your gospel dosent agree with mine...whos is right

Bro your a funny guy.. But to disrespect the work of a minister is offensive.

i see this thread getting locked
ibtl

Damn who still uses CD's anyway? How much is 75,000 euro in U.S.?

damn...i was gonna keep on this track as its something im kinda passionate about ......but you admitted i was funny so i concede, my bad if you got offended

85000 gs maybe possibly 90 95

he went back to school to become a physician.

Didn't give up on the faith though right?

nope. just change of pace i guess. i think he always wanted to be a physician but didn't have the means to do it when he was younger. actually, being a physician is his 3rd profession. he was a licensed pharmacist with hos own store for mnay years, an ordained christian minister for 15+ years and now a physician for the past 14 years.


anyways... back to the Guetta Fail.

ya was a fail

yes let's..... We almost had a non believer give his opinion and lord knows we can't have that!!!

www.facebook.com

100,001 here

Happens to us all. Just waaaaaay more funny when it happens to a guy making that much a night ;)

yup. thats how the cdj became the industry standard cd player, by being fragile....

I don't believe he gets 75000 euros per 3 hours....

They are the industry standard for a reason, speaking of fragile, don't tell me that the tone arm of your turntable isn't fragile.

€75.000 = $100,000 USD

Sounds about right. He's a recording artist, DJ, producer. Its a real bad failure he had. One of the many reasons I dont trust CDJ's!! We were joking saying that if he was using Serato, He could have gone into Internal Mode instead. LOL

By the way, Here's a Tiesto FAIL.Watchwww.youtube.com Thats what he gets for working with Three 6 Mafia. LOL

hahahahha how funny is the tiesto one

once again.. good ol cd players eh?

yea this stuff happens it dont matter if your good or not :)

saw the same thing happen to steve angello it happens stop hating on djs that busted there ass to make those 75k a set.

For that, There is Viagra. LOL

HAHA! Teisto only charges $30,000.00 USD for a one off DJ Set, mid week.

I highly doubt Guetta commands $100,000.00 for a DJ set.

Personally I think mistakes like this are unacceptable for DJ's at the 'level' of Tiesto and Guetta. Almost every noob DJ has a third CD-player or ipod on standby or has an emergency vinyl ready to recover from equipment crapping out.

The guetta video looks more like the CD is wrecked than the CDJ's.

Even with a third CDJ/ipod whatever...your still going to get the exact same break in the music as in the tiesto clip. Guettas was worse that both didn't work but even with a third CDJ, it wouldn't have made the initial mess up any better.

he mades how much??????

What happened?

wow.....good for him,may be he can invest some of that money on SL

Tiesto actually handled the situation correctly. He swore a bit, but then hit play on the other deck and got going right away. Guetta, on the other hand, was a true failure as he again tried to play the same track on a second deck and had it fail again (as obviously it was the disc that was bad, not the CDJs). He should have done like Tiesto and just immediately went to whatever the next track he had lined up was.

Maybe there was no other track lined up. I guess the mix was premixed since he told the crowd via mic "I don´t know what to play now".

I'd agree with CAW, I think we'd all have the reaction of swearing at the deck a bit but at least he just jumped straight back into the next track.
I'm guessing Guetta had nothing else loaded because he does just eject the disc straight into the left deck, there is the 3rd CDJ but if that was loaded with something you think you would just hit play on that.

I felt bad for the guy. Can't help sympathize for a fellow DJ going thru a crash onstage. I haven't had one since 2007, thank goodness! Never had one twice in a row though. DG is still a great DJ though minus the pose and all.

Does David Guetta only play his tracks or does he play other artists as well?

He plays others as well.

+1 esp. if you are commanding thousands of a dollars a gig.

Come on man it happens, who cares who you are. I had another DJ come up to me once and tell me Damn I'm a fan! I was like thanks but why? (I had gear failure) He was like "dude, you didn't even panic and played it off so well." I just get the mic like it's part of the show.

I was deejaying a school dance where my lights were pulling more electricity then the venue could handle (I had my front lighting go out 3 times) I just got on the mic and said blackout mode baby, WHAT? throw your glow sicks up in the air! (Thank god everyone had them) They just start yelling and doing the damn thing. It's all in fun.

and yeah I'm trying to learn more about power distribution.

+1000

this is a professional show, you're being paid very large sums of money

if you play in a band that gets that kind of $$$, when the guitar string breaks, a roadie is running out with a new guitar right away

I think everyone has a back up but you got to remember if a "guitar string breaks," the rest of the band is still playing. If a player goes out (or whatever happens) on us the music stops completely, you need to consider response time for a DJ. It's always faster to look at the crowd and try to reframe from showing something is wrong.

lol audio 1

i agree, but if you watch that video, he had no plan

i always have an ipod plugged into a spare input for just that scenario, which has happened to me for different reasons over the years

i have a couple audio cds with the bangers on them in case my laptop craps out

i have a USB key with the serato installer, control file and a bunch of mp3s

i make WAY less money than mr. guetta

unlucky, but also unprofessional

haha that's my back up as well, I would do the cd thing but damn CDJs cost to much. I can't justify the price right now. Let go a little off topic, 900 Vs. 2000?

lets*

But reality is, if David Guetta had an Ipod plugged in, everyone would say he was faking the whole set and it was playing off the IPod the whole time.

+1

For the kind of money David is asking for, He needs a fanboy/assistant who should run out and bring him another copy of the track... Maybe not at that moment but for later. Which brings me to another thing, All these sets are planned. In French, David says that he is unsure what he will play next, as this was the song he wanted/desired to play. Whatever happened to being spontaneous? I give Tiesto some credit, He started the next track and kept it moving, instead of making excuses.

acutually if his set was planned wouldnt he already know what the next track to play would be

+1. I think Audio is hating a little ; ) He's not a fan! lol

Not hating, Just stating the obvious. If I hated David Guetta, I wouldnt be playing his tracks at the club. LOL

Point is, regardless of technical diffficulties, Us DJs who arent on the same pay scale as David Guetta are always prepared for anything that may go wrong. If you make $500 a gig or $50,000 a gig, Every DJ should be prepared for the unexpected.

indeed. those french ppl...cant do nothing right :D

Now that wasnt nice.

lol@ those french ppl. . .

it was not his fault. he had a technical raider. the problem was that no one knews the cdjs where broken.. or the cd will be dirty or something. i guess neither him or the promoter did everything for a perfect gig.
and yes. i dont like his DIVA style.

3rd channel ipod just in case

I usually just sing. Here's one of the times I sang last time I had equipment failure.

Watchwww.youtube.com

LOOOOOL

love it

Both guys reaction time was unacceptably slow.
As for 'cheating' with an ipod - is having a huge gap in the music better?
jesus posers... they deserve equipment failure.

best thing ever to be on this forum!!!!!

kinda reminds me of this. damn all those CD's! lol

Watchwww.youtube.com

This reminds of the times we used a CD to swap out laptops one night. I had put a song on , guy goes to put his laptop up with 4 minutes left on the song, and just has he plugs the SL1 in, the battery died. His older Sony laptop normally takes about 4 minutes to boot up. I noticed the song was going into its last section so I looped it on the last verse/chorus... It all worked out. They listened to the last verse one more time and all went well...

4 Minute startup? That would drive me insane.

Bootup + SSL load + Itunes Library... not just boot. It sits FOREVER before the desktop loads..

................tell him he maaaayy wanna .......BUY A MAC

<~~~ LOL... and I bought the pioneer cdj as backup... Maybe I should get back up if back up fails...

Even to load into SSL w/itunes 4 minutes is a very long startup. I've had a lot of times where I've been told to start kind of by suprise (Just finished setting up and the MC tells me to get it going) Even then 30 second startup (for SSL to be ready to go) feels like forever.

He bought a MBP for video sets, but he doesn't have his library transferred over yet (Internal HD stored music rather than external).

My Vista Home laptop is very fast... In fact, mine had shut down, and already booted up just as he got his back online lol.

But the concept is always have a backup plan.

I thought it must just be a backup by your OP wording "his older sony laptop"

omg lol i laughed so hard on that one....

More of a fail how he bit "One" so fucking hard.

this is my favorite david guetta fail... im pretty the subtitles arent fake...

Watchwww.youtube.com

LOLOLOLOL!!!!!!

Oh, that made my day. =D

French is my second language, those subtitles are (almost) accurate :D

shit happends
