Eddie Halliwell is a bit like Eyeball paul in that Kevin and Perry film. The moment people stop chanting his name and relying on hype alone for a good night out - is the day people stand quietly scratching their heads in front of an embarrased DJ wondering why people dont find him standing on the decks or beating his fists into the air, actually very entertaining anymore. I think he just needs to tone it down a bit and keep the theatrics as something to enhance a set of well selected tunes..... rather than relying on them? My take anyhow - If people still enjoy seeing him then thats brilliant... Its just that you seem to see alot of former eddie fans now wondering what the heck they ever saw in him, just like Tiesto ...................................... Do Sasha fans, former or present do the same?
whether people choose to go along with it is a different matter my mate stuided psychology its a well researched fact
Your full of shit mate. 15% of the population like Eddie. Does that include the millions of people starving in Africa...do they stand in line waiting for their rice shouting EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE...
obv people who havent heard of him dont come into the equation it should have said 15% of the people that know who eddie is.. but then i couldnt have made a generalised statement
i do agree with this post. ive met eddie and hes cushty (lol @ cushty) so i'll carry on chanting "eddie eddie eddie" for a long time, so what if hes random in genre or does the same tricks every time, he's got a massive crowd following and is a massive inspiration to alot of people...long live the cdj loop function and scratch samples...one more thing..........EDDIE EDDIE EDDIE......lol
sweeping generalisation. you cant possibly know that without sampling a representative proportion of people, even then you cant compare one sample based on one thing to another unrelated one. anyone should know that statistics can almost always be manipulated to show the desired outcome... ask any politician in the eddie case where was the sample conducted? is it a representative sample? what techniques were employed? or is that you were talking tripe? on eddie... he doesnt do it for me, there are many dj's i prefer and i wouldnt go outta my way to see him. fair do's to anyone who would tho... each to their own
generalisation sweeping and politics and representative proportions and stuff???? im in the wrong thread cos i havnt a frucking clue what ur on abaout...lol...ur right though, each to their own
i used to love sasha but then i decided as good he is at mixing etc he is so fucking boring its unreal
But your not playing in front of all those people and he is... fair does...he play random sets/fucks up sometimes/is generally off his tits when he plays...But his sets entertain people and nobody makes a club go up like eddie halliwell (nobody i've so far seen)...The easiest thing to do if you dont like a dj is not go and see them.
gotta disagree with that, depends what your after in music tho i suppose, his musics very intelligent and some of the stuff he does is amazing, which is far more than i can say about hallibob
its all opinions mate theres no rules to DJ'ing end of the day...well beat matching is always good but other than that just do what ya want...the pros will feel the same
as ive said before the statement was a generalised statement which can be applied to many different situations, looks at jules, eddie, etc etc people find it un cool to like them even though they may not have heard them the "15%" figure was found out by some1 who obviously researched this topic quite thouroughly, obviously it isnt gonna be exact and doesnt apply to everything it is one persosn opinion on something backed up with evidence, but that is what most of science & psychology etc is about
eddies not that bad man, people always slag him but look were he is,. then take a look at ya self and see were you are in the djing world he's much higher up the ladder than any off you and ME so he cant be all bad, still could go to watch him and enjoy it even though techno is #1 and theres a good few techno djs that,ll wipe the floor with him
