This video shows EXACTLY why rock music was outlawed in 1997. Bands were always trying to stage dive and insurance premiums went through the roof for venues.
Here is a DJ performing the illegal act and getting just what he deserved. Mass public shaming.
Biggie Smalls was a really amazing guy because he liked to take DJs who've never performed before and give them their shot at the Big Time. This is how Dave Grohl (lead drummer for the Food Fighters) got his start.
Unfortunately for this poor soul his first gig didn't go so well.
Take this sad video as a lesson not to publicly perform your first gig at a big concert. Try to find something smaller for your debut, like a One Direction show.
Sometimes if you're just starting out as a DJ you have to throw in some extra sweet dance moves and a radio announcer voice to get people pumped up. Especially if you're doing something really boring like a wedding.
This guy not only numbers his songs but he does The Locomotion with grace and style. Hats off to the DJ!
Taylor Momsen has it down. She's just all like, "Fuck it, I don't need headphones to play music." She basically just throws those useless headphones off and turns a knob and you know that guy behind her is basically really impressed. He's smiling like an ex-convict uncle who has your daughter for a weekend camping trip.
Taylor is like, "The party is where?" and just turns her back to everyone like that guitar player from System of a Down, back when "rock" music was still legal.
By the way, the knob she's turning is labeled "GET PARTY STARTED."

See THIS is basically the way for a Celebrity to DJ! You might think he's just doing his math homework at the podium and that someone's just left a particularly loud elevator open during maintenance but then he looks over to his right a few times and you just KNOW he's basically doing something really special. Like he's thinking, "yeah, there's a knob over there I'm gonna touch," or "yeah I can't wait to watch Wilfred's season premiere in three hours."
Elijah is doing people a huge favor because most people play hip hop or dance music and leave poor people to have to DJ all the carnival music and songs from South Pacific, but he's just IN there..doing the dirty work...playing the shit that nobody wants to hear. This is what makes him not just a good DJ but an important DJ.
The only points off I'd give him are for the complete lack of knob turning.
Also, kudus to me for not mentioning Lord of the R....FUCK.

This is an example of sloppy DJing.
Note that the guy's headphones aren't even on.
Note the awkward angle that his body is at.
Note that there are barely even any lights on in that room. How can he see what he's doing? Also, I can't help but note that he doesn't even have a MACBOOK up there. Where is the music coming from?????
DJ AM is so good he's doesn't even know which button he's pressing but I bet you it's the Right One.
His laptop has his name on it for a few reasons 1. People at the show don't know who they came to see 2. When he's chilling at coffee shops people can interrupt him 3. In case his laptop gets switched with someone else who has 14,000 hours of Basement Jaxx / Celine Dion mashups in their Itunes His hand is at his side to show restraint and humility, and because he doesn't need anything Capitalized at the moment.
These people are so famous they don't even have to TOUCH the DJ equipment! Somehow they press play and it just PLAYS. This is somewhat similar to Karaoke but you don't even have to sing.
These celebrities are so famous that I don't know who they are.

This is Elijah Wood using two watches on his right wrist to calculate the BPM of two tracks. I just learned this technical term after watching a bunch of youtube instructional videos. He does it so that his DJ program can automatically make them 190 "Beeps Per Minute." The Beeps Per Minute of must jungle songs (Elijah's favorite kind of music other than Radiohead (who were banned from using real instruments in 1997)) is between 190 and 400.
If you notice, he is looking like he's concentrating really hard on turning TWO knobs at the same time. Basically this is a level of genius, both because he's turning TWO knobs at the same time and because he's employing his acting skills.
Nobody pumps up a crowd like Elijah Wood DJing tracks from other DJs. This technique is called "resampling" or "publicly masturbating."

Paris Hilton's doctor turning her microphone off.
Here is a really special People Turning Knobs post.
We all know about Paris Hilton's battles with autism, dyslexia, tourette's, and alzheimer's disease...so it's a really special thing that she took time out from rehabilitation to show people all over the world that basically ANYbody can DJ!
She tries to sing but her doctor comes up and turns her mic off.
Also, I'm new to DJing and I'm not sure if she's pointing at things because that's what DJs do or if that's part of her condition. Anyway PLEASE DON'T LAUGH while watching this video.

Here is Lindsay Lohan, the girl from Herbie the Love Bug, DJing. Basically she got in trouble with the law for DJing too hard and now she has to show kids in schools around the country the perils of DJing heavily. Basically there are videos of her DJing at parties and Disney didn't like that she was ruining their image.
Penis-shaped castles in Little Mermaid = OK Lindsay Lohan DJing = Not OK
Note: Here you can see her "All Access" probation bracelet
Wow everybody! I I just started getting into DJ music. My mom explained it to me that basically ages ago people played things called instruments. Like the things you use in the game Rock Band only they had strings on them.
But eventually people had created so much music that they didn't know what to do with it all and they needed to hire people to basically sort it out. So basically now there are these courageous individuals called DJs who put aaaalllll that music together on their computers and then they play it back so people can basically get really excited when they hear something they recognize.
There is so much music out there that even people who have never worked a day in their lives have to step up and DJ! You've heard of celebrity charities where famous people raise money from working class people (because their own money is locked in a vault) right? Well basically now that's what they have to do with all that OLD music.
So here is my first entry: Prince Charles DJing some of what my brother calls "electro" music.
Enjoy!

P.S. I think he is being shown how to make music from a Mac Genius or something. I think he's basically doing a great job!
