ego and bad attitude

[rhythmtech]

put a house party on last night for some good mates. about 50 of us there. couple of djs & a couple of live sets.
this guy, that i'd never met, arrived with some mates with a laptop and asked could he play. told him sure, no problem. gave him a nice time to play at (2am) which was just after my set.
i finish up @ 2:10 and he hits play on his laptop. NOTHING. no sound at all. he flips out, tells me i sabotaged his laptop and that it would've worked fine if i'd finished when i was supposed to! at this stage i'm like you come into someones house and start disrespecting someone like that?
anyway, i figured he was just on a bad one so i tried talking to him and looking for a solution for having no sound but he just keeps hurling abuse and saying "this is bullshit - i was doing this for free. next time i'll charge you". in the end i asked one of the lads he arrived with to take him home. then he comes over and throws a fist at me!!!!

WTF are people turning into? i know when i was starting out i probably pissed a few people off with over enthusiasm but i never got aggro and certainly never threw a punch!

anyway my point is - what is this ego thing all about? it was only a small house party!

I see your problem..... It seems you took your house party a little seriously!!! Did you have posters up in your front room with set times on?? :lol:

[rhythmtech]

Ego is beast and ego is evil.
But ego knows best, at least he says so.
I am one and I am all.
But sometimes I am nothing at all.
And you know, you know my little insecurities.
Like someday I may fade away.

i have a particular rule regarding ego, especially involving well-known djs/artists.

if i meet them, and they are assholes, i never buy their records again.

if they are some nobody with an attitude playing a house party, i do my best to make sure they never play anywhere in the city again.

does that make me mean?

*shrug*

[RDR]

Not at all.

See my rant on the immersion thread. I say the same shiva.

A little politeness goes a long way.

BTW - rtech, likely he's coked up mate. that aint attitude its beer/drugs talking.

Thats funny because when I went to Dublin I found the people very welcoming, maybe because didnt understand a word they said but still :lol:

Don't worry about it mate.
He just sounds like a cock, and couldn't deal with the fact that he ended up looking like a dick when his laptop failed so he tried to blame it on you in an attempt to save face.

We used to hold big parties 150+ in houses we would clear out for the weekend, and on one occassion some angry bint pulled a knife on some girl for no reason, then started throwing cups and glasses about. None of her "friends" would take any responsibility for her, so we bundled her out the house and drove her downstairs, with her screaming all the way.

It was pretty disturbing at the time., just couldn't figure out what her problem was. Put it down to drugs and bad attitude at the end of the day. Never saw her again, no idea what was going on in her head.

Sounds like he's a tosser and you were unlucky he turned up at your party.

[MARKEG]

i agree. this guy sounds like he was a general asshole anyway - nothing to do with superstardom.

though whilst we're on the subject of it all, it's funny how many dj's you meet along the way who you were told were complete pricks and when you really get down to some good conversation they're actually ok. on the other hand i've seen some right assholes in this industry, especially at hotel room after parties. i've learnt a golden few rules about this:

1) if the room is over 50% blokes, leave. any male dj that attracts more men that women, usually is either gay or an idiot.
2) if 90% of the girls are blonde bimbo types then about turn. you'll get better conversation in an oap home.
3) if 50% or more of the men have top's off - be prepared for some intense gay action at some point during the night ie leave IMMEDIATELY ;)
4) BEWARY of ppl in shades - especially those oversized 70's style ones. a) It's not sunny and b) If you're prepared to look like a twat then you must be one.

Simple rules I know, but I find them particularly effective when your pissed. Simply leave the room, rally together a good group of sound ppl from reception and party back at yours

the guy sounds like a real tool...jokes on him in the end...i bet most people there thought he was just as stupid as you did...
