Re: to make up for the mono thread
dammit if i'd of known that i would of flown over and bombed him myself
^^^ BIG TIME!!!
and not only for his music etc, but because I also experienced something with this guy that really put me out of myself:
In 2007, Lebanon was being submitted to a wave of terrorist attacks, like 20 bombs were blown in the city in less than 1 year time, doing all the damages (human & material) you can imagine. During that period, many promoters and radio stations signed up several major world artists for local gigs (Among which Lawler and others of that clibre).
As a result of the situation, most of these gigs were cancelled or failed (coz very few people would take risks of attending big concerts by fear of bombs). Anyway.
And one day, a promoter friend of mine comes along and decides to take this huge risk of signing Fiesto to a concert. This guys simply organized this major event not only during a VERY BAD period, but the gig had also been organized on a MONDAY (ususally ppl party during the weekends, not in the middle of the week).
Usually when I do closings or afterhours gigs, I don't go to the party for the beggining, I just try to get a nap or a small sleep, wake up in the early morning and go do my job. Well that night while sleeping I received a call from my radio station manager (Radio One) asking me to come early to see what was happening in the Fiesto concert: FULLY PACKED, the whole town where he played was totally jammed from traffic and parked cars. So I stood up and went to see that with my own eyes, coz I was expecting the event to be a total flop. When I got there I was simply shocked: how can this guy assemble 23.000 ppl in the middle of a bombing season, in the middle of the week, and create the biggest EDM event in local history. I WAS SHOCKED!!!
And I dont wana even mention how he played and what kinda music he played.
Anyway...lol....I learned that fiesto had come to Lebanon with a bunch of friends, and before going up on stage he had asked the promoter to get him a bottle of black label whisky for his friends, which the promoter refused to do at first. But then Presto threatened him to leave the concert if he doesnt get that bottle, so the promoter had to comply (and with a smile on his face).
To tell you this: This guy did his 3 hours time of work, and got paid.....do you want to know how much?
120.000 Euros = 170.000 US$
for a 3 hours of noise that was killing my ears and brain of pain!!!
So YES, to my eyes Presto is the greatest of Terrorist djs....lol
