David Guetta Talks Party Drugs, Gives Advice To New DJs

[@YouTubeKnight]

Despite all his success, David Guetta will always be known as the guy that ended racism.

[@MMAoracle]

What?

[@nextari]

how did he do it?

[@FreeEnergyMechanic]

God dammit that's so funny

[@MegatheMuh]

sure, no drugs yeah

[@alexjanaqi]

lol

[@kenmasters916]

just the party drugs ..

[@SupaHans04]

he's just saying that not everyone that's into electronic music is on drugs, cause literally everyone listens to it

[@bibbob395]

That is not what he is saying

this guy did drugs at that tomorrow land set 11100000000% lmao still not over it

MDMA will forever be linked to electronic dance music because as soon as somebody tries it, it’s never the same without it

[@jtb52]

Indeed 50 years old are listening to it, going to those concerts, festivals and having the best time.

[@gregorcerjak7607]

When Guetta said "... and 50-year-olds are listening to it", Larry must have thought "I get it, you already said children".

[@MotownShaker]

The rave scene in America is *far* softer than Europe. In places like Berlin and Holland, it's regular for both DJ's and ravers to go clubbing Friday night until Sunday (clubs open Friday midnight, close Monday morning 11 am), openly participating in sex and drugs in the clubs. Dj's like Sven Vath were known for mammoth 12+ hour sets

[@conservativefather5446]

Roger Sanchez also did 10+ hour sets

[@OperculumAudio]

My take away from this is: Thank you MDMA for spreading Electronic Dance Music to the masses Lol, in all seriousness, I like David's perspective on things. He knows how to put electronic music in the right light.

[@wally139]

Because of mdma I got really into techno, I used to never like it but when I was tripping balls in a festival and vibing out with the boys to techno it was the best time of my life lmao

[@jayhome2715]

If you listen he almost sounds like he's from the Bronx ahahahah lol

[@fraziierr]

LOL this dudes accent isnt just because hes foreign, I think the ecstasy and ketamine is catching up.

he has the accent of a french who try to have a good accent

[@brandonbethman1478]

Not sure about that. But he looks pretty decent for age 47 in NY opinion. which is how old he was in this video.

[@charliervrs]

He IS the definition of a crowd pleaser!

[@FreeEnergyMechanic]

He's definitely one of them

[@mrtandemslidessbtt]

Isn’t this around the time when Homie main staged Tomorrowland absolutely minced on acid and almost had an existential crises towards the end of the set?

[@reignz6968]

David always had that genuine light in his eyes

[@enlightenedsoul8897]

Say whatever you want, but this guy is speaking the truth about what makes a superstar DJ. Look at Calvin Harris, Avicii RIP :(, Martin Garrix, Skrillex, Diplo, etc. They are all music producers, and some are mainly just producers, like Calvin Harris and Avicii, etc. Who got into DJing because of producing, for others it is different but the reason these guys are so big is that they have made tracks which have been heard by billions of people around the world. Sure the House and Techno Gatekeepers can cry and complain all you want, but the fact is that this is EDM Today, EDM is very mainstream. These Slap House tracks get millions of views on youtube and EDM has been and will continue to be placed in the charts for years to come, maybe not in one country but in another, it will be huge. I am not sure about the part he said about drugs but he was telling the truth about everything else.

[@mistereighttt]

and I didnt even mention diplo is doing house and tech house, skrillex too but he is planning to do his original stuff for the new album

[@evanmassimino3416]

Skrillex and Diplo are terrible DJ's jus sayin

He says a good dj has to work the crowd... id put money that his sets are worked out and not on the fly. Djs like him cant "afford" mistakes or "risks/deviation" when intertwined heavily with business just like the film industry.

[@locinf92]

Notice at 1:10 Guetta now thinks the question was "how do you become a famous DJ?" rather than a "good" DJ. That's Guetta's subconscious defense mechanism kicking in.

[@davidbaca1856]

No, he answered the question at the beggining, he said that if you want to be a good DJ you have to be able to rock the crowd with your own style, your own music, if you can do that, you are a good DJ, and then he explained what is the difference between the famous djs and the resident djs in the nightclubs of your city who only plays music.

[@freshprince69]

David Guetta is still a great DJ, I don't know why people are angry at him just because of his mistakes.

[@ljp9402]

he used to be original, now def a crowd pleaser

[@ryviemusic]

drugs were and still are everywhere. I agree that not everybody who listens to EDM does drugs (I don't), but there will always be people that take drugs and go to rave parties just for this cause. Also even 15 year-olds do drugs nowadays Note: I know the interview is 3 years ago I just needed to say that

"it was at the beginning, i dont think it is anymore" ... Yea right 😂😂

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

Well meanwhile almost everyone at Psytrance festivals is high. Man being on psychdelics with the everyone else on the floor is magic. And I bet same goes for other genres, truth is people do shit ton of psychedelics and stimulants. And that's the better scenario, then you have worse stuff like alcohol and hard drugs.

Wow... Irony is strong. David Guetta talks about drugs to other DJ's. Wow....

[@ferdilorejo3888]

he takes DRUGS

[@nothanks6671]

It’s so funny to see someone transcend the theatre of journalistic question and answer time and start talking like there friends with the other person. It makes it awkward by default.

[@RobstarG]

How would David Guetta know how to be a good DJ? He's hardly a producer and he is in no way a DJ. He only plays pre-mixed sets on stage because he is too afraid to fuck up live. And people pay 80 bucks a night to see him press play on Soundcloud basically.

[@onlytiesto1]

Rob Ztar you should look his umf set 2015, several times camera focus on the mixer and if you see the faders on the mixers are left or right, never more on 1 fader. i think his pre-mixed are overs now and if that is not enough then check this "martin garrix & david guetta mixing mambo ibiza" cameras even closer, you would see the mixers faders and some skills, you should get more info and stop bashing because of ignorance..

[@RobstarG]

He admitted in an interview with Noisey and later in an Interview on TV that he does not mix sets live. My statement was not based on ignorance, but on his own statement. And moving a fucking fader wen you know the camera is there filming you, is not a big deal. And even if the fader is moved, you dont know if the mixer is plugged in at all. I prefer The Glitz, Sound Nomaden, Umami, Systemfeind, A.N.A.L. and a lot of others over David Guetta a million times. Not only do they play their sets live with actual DJing skill, but they also play way better music. Not this americanized EDM crap. Go to Soundcloud and listen to sets of the DJs I just mentioned. Get your mind blown! ;)

[@AizwellOfficial]

Rob Ztar Shut the actual fuck up already, David Guetta is a pioneer in EDM....

[@RobstarG]

And EDM is garbage...

[@micksheen27]

[@tobinharrison7787]

To be a good dj just pretend to dj,use a pre mixed cd,and stand there ,or alternatively you can get a laptop and press the sync button... Now lets see all these djs roll out on a set of 121os ,the real art of turntablism

[@sej-6047]

damn guys chill, he makes with that answer everything better so people won't think like:" omg my child is going to take drugs there" if their kid goes to a techno concert. Sure his music is whack, but I think that answer was very good and true. What he's doing on his own is his privacy. So he protected the festival/concert people who are not taking drugs there and that's a lot. But If there's also a lot people taking drugs was not the question and why does he/we have to mention that? lmao

I think David's comment on party drugs may apply to EU, but not necessarily true in US at the moment, especially festivals. But I would be really interested in knowing, what % of people go to festival sober by country & festival.

[@StraightUpSAD]

TripleLinde Agreed.

[@RobstarG]

Joe Bieker You cannot go to a Festival dedicated to House/Techno in Europe without having at least 70% of the crowd at least a little whipped on Speed, MDMA, XTC or cocaine, in some cases also ketamine or Crystal Meth. Also we don't say EDM in Europe, because EDM is basically what David Guetta does and that's utterly awful mainstream bullshit with no sense of quality or originality. In Europe there is House (lots of different segemnt styles) and there's Techno (also a lot of different segment styles). EDM in Europe (at least in Germany and the UK, that's what I know) is basically what will be played in big mainstream party temples, which aren't even referred to as clubs by the Techno and House crowd I've met and partied with over the past 10 years now. There is a very strict seperation. The usual techno crowd is also dressed in a way they would not even gain access to a mainstream Disco palace. Our Techno clubs are rugged, mostly a bit dirty and you better don't go there in high heels and a mini skirt or as a male in nice leather shoes, a white shirt and a suit vest. Not only will you be laughed at and stick out like a sore thumb, you will also not have fun. I can see where the success of David Guetta and the likes comes from with the laziness on lack of perception of quality that goes along with the consumption of radio and so on, but I never really listened to radio and when i have to, I suffer. Music played on most radio stations today is so generic and lackluster, I'd kill myself if had to party to that shit. That includes Mr. Playback David Guetta. He never plays live, he just makes move on stage while a pre-mixed set is playing. That's not a DJ...

[@711dylan12345]
