Re: Oakie's awesome!...right?

Re: Oakie's awesome!...right?
Cool, yeah, was trying to say that as nice as possible...Just thinking, with some of the releases that you already have out, and for the success of future releases...Best if you let people/fans of your music base their opinions of "NID" off of your music and not personal opinions about others in the industry and elsewhere.
Prime example: Dixie Chicks.
Besides, you never know, some of your biggest fans just might be the biggest fans of Oakie...Don't want to lose them over something said in an internet forum..
If you need a manager, let me know.

Never seen him but have heard plenty of live Oakie mixes prior to '99 that I enjoyed. I think he lost touch with the music after his acquisition of the alien hairpiece he wears, kind of like spiderman's black costume.Comment

Re: Oakie's awesome!...right?
I think Steve's comparison of Oakey to Sasha and JD isn't a realistic one.
They're audiences are poles apart! Oakenfold's theatrics behind the decks are born out of his eccentricity and also his "act"!! Much in the same way heavy metal bands have had a "stage show"for years! Is Oakey's antics live a million miles away from someone like Ozzy Osbourne??
I believe Oakey act's the way he does because he thinks that's what his audience wants from him and they lap it up!
I used to go to see Oakey year's back and my Bro Simon R will confirm this, with a nutter by the name of "flicker"! Lovely guy by the way, built like a brick shit house!! This guy worshipped Oakey and used to Mimic all his stage Theatrics in the club in front of people!! To me it was all part of the Oakenfold show!!
I think what is disrespectful is people forget just what Oakenfold has achieved in his career.
He's a very shrewd individual and a clever business man!
His place in history is assured in maybe a way Sasha and JD's aren't! Yes they are cult hero's
on the club scene but they've not gone beyond that.
Whether it's his Scores on The Matrix Reloaded, The Bourne Identity, Collateral, Die Another Day.
Supporting and touring with U2 or Madonna. His entry in the Guinness Book of Records or playing
at the Great Wall of China.
Yet he's ridiculed like Tiesto. A guy who performed live at the opening ceremony in Athens, Greece, becoming the first DJ to play live on stage at an Olympics!!
I put too you would either Sasha or JD turn down any of these opportunities if asked?
I seem to remember Sasha was pretty stoked at having the opportunity to contribute music to an
episode of CSI!
I think Nomad needs to remember that to have a successful career in the industry you need to stand on your own two feet! As Matthew Dekay found out it was all over when Sasha and Digweed got out of bed one morning and decided to start playing intelligent techno/ minimal so as to preserve they're own careers! You can be in favour one day and out in the cold the next in this life!Comment

Re: Oakie's awesome!...right?

He's punctual and he's never too twatted to play either!!!!Comment
