    Default Newbies: If you had no choice but to bring 25kg's every gig, would you bother ?

    In light of the number of peeps saying that everything is, too big, too heavy, too arkward etc ...

    I hearby ask the question - if you HAD no choice but to bring 25kg+ of gear with you to every gig, would you still be bothered DJing, would you have got started in the first place even ? or would you see it as too much hassle ?

    One day when I got some money and some old geezer like yourself gets pissed off at his crates of records and decides to sell them, I'll take em off his hands and lug a few crates one day. I will also get two turntables.

    I can see where people going around on planes can want portability due to fees and shit but I used to play in a band and lug around equipment, and I've had my midi controller out on a gig too. Its all alike if you ask me. If its not 25kg plus its 25 cables+. There's good and bad to everything.

    I thought you were talking about nose powder :/ only 25kg
    Anyway, a strange hypothetical. I imagine some dude in Brooklyn back in the day not allowing the night's DJ into the warehouse because (the horror!) he has too much weight. :X

    Haha, I'd be happy to donate them someday (apart from a few rarities) havent played a single vinyl in the past 4 years (boooooo) and havent had any turntables for over 10 years (boooooer).

    And OI! Definetly not that old, just started pretty young

    @ Jester.NZ ... good point, less gear, more beer ...


    edit: @ Jester.NZ. You have to bring your own beer ?

    I lug around my coffin case with all my gear to gigs occasionally. Definitely don't mind having to do some lifting in order to get the people dancing!

    pfff, what an enormous presumptuous topic this is. Well, good for you, how cool you are... Wow, so old school and awesome...

    Just because one day people walked the face of the earth to get places, doesn't mean you can't strive for a better car...

    FYI; i've been carrying around vinyl too, so don't go there...
