David Guetta DJ Tribute Act. I shit you not. 23
Well this is new. A tribute DJ.
I’ll say that again: A tribute DJ.
As in: a nobody who is pretending to be a Famous Disc Jockey, advertising himself as such and actually getting booked.
Before we explore just how bloody ludicrous this concept is let’s for a moment humour ourselves.
If you could pretend to be any DJ in the history of the world, if you could assume their persona, commandeer their record
collection and impart upon the masses the magic conjured by ANY DJ in the world – who might you mimic?
The Paradise Garage legend Larry Levan? Perhaps prog noodling controller chief Sasha? Techno pioneer Jeff Mills?
Or hows about philipino turntablist demi-god Q-bert?
This is tricky. Because not only are the chances slim that you look anything like these DJ’s you probably haven’t quite mastered the craft of DJing at their level.
You’re not going to be able to recreate the magic of Levan, you can’t scratch like Q-bert and you’re not
analy retentive enough to ableton like Sasha. Also the likely hood of having to Black Up to mimic any DJ worth mentioning is quite high and issues of political correctness may come into play.
So. You want to be a DJ but you look like a prick, you can’t mix for shit, your taste in music is appalling and you have no soul. Why not pretend to be David.Fucking.Guetta.
That’s what this preening fucktard has done.
This is just staggering.
A live tribute act would at least have to learn to play songs penned by their idols. They would have to practice. They would have to move, act and sound like the bands they have chosen to mimic and sure enough they will get booked. Some cover bands are really bloody good, in fact there is a whole UK festival of cover bands here in the UK which is a rather neat idea.
But a cover DJ?
He just gets up behind the decks, puts on some massive fucking shades and presses play on the CDJ. And THAT is IT.
What an absolute,cunting,arse-hat of a man.
More to the point this twat just turns up , plays David Guetta tunes and doesn’t even go to the trouble of lieing about it. Indeed that is his unique sales pitch.
“So then you’re a DJ what do you play?
“Well I pretend to be David Guetta and I play all his tunes in the same order, night after night”
“Incredible. You’re hired”

Pretending to be a useless talentless cunt means you really are a cunt I would have thought..

Crazy that there is a market for this. Maybe I should pretend to be the guy pretending to be Guetta!? I would probably make more money from that than my own self penned productions!

This has been going on for quite a while now. Theres the Daft Punk tribute Daft Funk. I think there are Deadmau5 and Afrojack tributes doing the rounds also.

But isn’t that what Guetta does? Turns up, presses play on one CDJ and pretends to mix it live?!

I heard this guy was originally going to impersonate Skrillex, but had to reconsider after realizing the disguise would require: extensive hair extensions, bouts of anorexia, and a vagina.

This is beyond idiotic. He did however set himself up for the easiest possible workflow in the music industry, but Guetta mix CDs, hit play once & pretend to hug the crowd all night. When Paris Hilton announced a DJ tour, I thought that was as low as it could possibly get, but the race to the bottom is more competitive than I thought.

You’ve got it all wrong, unless you’re actually a fan of Guetta?? (Otherwise your sarcasm is failing to come through).
Wow, this guy is a GENIUS. How can you not applaud him for riding on the coat tails of EDM’s biggest turd?

Wow this guy is a serious fucking ass pump.
Also, @Metje and @Chris I think you’re missing the entire point here… You knob wrenches. The issue is that this cock shiner is actually impersonating any DJ AT ALL. I don’t ever recall a Jeff Mills ‘tribute’ or impersonator. And if there was ever one he would have got punched in the fucking face, and rightfully so. Then on TOP of that this assclown has also chosen a talentless fuck like Guetta to impersonate, it just shows he’s a really stupid buttfuck.

It’s so easy to say that you’d rather be Larry Levan, Jeff Mills or whatver, but let’s not forget that this generation don’t even know who they are. And is that bad? No, I don’t think so!!
Every genre has his heroes and Guetta is the hero of a whole generation of kids growing up and clubbing right now!
Of course we should never forget those legendary dj’s, but let’s be hounest; would you go to a show were someone was doing like he’s Levan??? No, you wouldn’t!
If this guy can make money out of impersonating David Guetta, let him. If I was David Guetta I would be hounered, who ever thought people we’re someday looking up to dj’s so much that they are impersonating them.
I think it’s cool, even though it’s not my music. Just let the guy and worry about importing things in life!

Total genius; I mean he’s a dickhead, But he’s pretty much just mugging everyone who hires him off. Not only do they have to listen to fucking Guetta’s shite, but they also get it badly mixed. fair play son.

How pissed off must the other (real) DJs on the bill be?
“You’re pretending to be David Guetta, Oh cool, here, Hold this bare electrical cord for me while I plug you, sorry I mean it, into the mains”
Cunt indeed
