Jesus Pose vs Ice Cold Walk Off?
From what the “kids” tell me, the top tier players are pulling of these Jesus Poses left, right and center during their big sets. On the other side, my turntablist friends seem to opt for what I call the “Ice Cold Walk Off” - Stop the deck and walk away while looking like they just saw a puppy die and are annoyed that it got in the way of the beats.
So which one’s harder and which one do you do?
Word.
i pretend i’m at a morbid angel concert while mixing. i.e epic goat throwing and head bangage .. also smashing stuff.
I don’t think Jesus would like that very much.
A picture from my last (supper) gig. Am I doing it right?
In all seriousness, I do neither of those. Seems rather douche-y to me, dunno about the “Ice cold walk off”, too much room for the crowd to misinterpret it I think.
I can’t stand the Jesus pose.
Jesus pose only works in 1000+ venues (at capacity, at peak time) ashamed to say I’ve done it once or twice with no ill effects :eek:
The Ice cold walk off hmmmm … I don’t think I’d pull it off, sounds dangerous.
I’m really more a fan of “sprung shoe ceiling painting” while knob twisting.
I kind of just have a dance to myself, get the crowd into it and at the end of the night just turn the music off and laugh at all the drunks (i know the majority of them due to it being my residency)..
Then finish my beer.
LOL
I just usually end it off with some kinda whack way…and then start clapping.
People usually realize that the end of my set.
I like to do the Jesus Pose when I am playing my top track of my set.
When it drops HARD and the crowd roars…I Jesus Pose!
With a mean look on my face and then Pound the fist!
I am usually concentrating…and always have people telling me to smile while I play.
Its become a thing now…“REMEMBER TO SMILE!”
LOL
What if you did an “Ice Cold Jesus Pose”? Jesus pose, stop the decks, and walk off still jesus’in like a champ. 
Word!
That’s how it has always felt to me. Dunno if you joking, but I come from a metal background.
So the pouted mouth…angry eyes…and head banging is pretty much how I do it!
Well since I am no headliner, just a club resident DJ. I can’t really pull off any of these every weekend. But I do perform the occasional fist pump, pointing at the crowd and acting like a total goofball in the DJ booth routine.
rofl
But how can you stop the decks while doing the Jesus Pose? with your feet? Now THAT would be a nice pose
standing on the decks doing the Jesus with nothing but white pars on you then the lights go out for one sec then come back on and youre gone :eek: (after turning the decks off with your feet of course )
I guess that is what Charlie Sheen would do…if he was a DJ.
LOL
fuk’n hilarious!!!
I’m a walk-off man myself. I tell the crowd it’s over, drop a hard-ass song to close the night, slam down my headphones and walk out the booth. Usually right onto the dancefloor to rock out to my closer.
I think you turn those decks “off” pretty well already by standing on them
