Truthfully, no. Of course I will watch them much of the time, but sometimes find that not looking sounds better. It depends on what visuals are going on, too.
Sometimes they'll blend, other times not. Aural and visual synaptic cross-reference and all that blah blah blah..

Fair enough -- and I'll agree that the sound is paramount -- but when Killing Joke assume the stage, I imagine your eyes remain firmly fixed on them, no?

That depends on whether the Dj is a Dj, or someone who just 'spins'. Sadly the latter is more common place nowadays. Often, I didn't necessarily go to 'watch' the DJ, it was the sound that was more important.

Regardless if one's a fan of the music or not, the fact remains that a d.j. on a stage is not much to *watch*. It kinda begins and ends there, as far as I'm concerned,.

Fair go, DJ culture did get somewhat out of control during the 90s, but I have been to many an 'event' where the main attraction is the DJ. Also been to many events where you know that the DJ is 'somewhere' around ;)
I am a technohead, and the witnessing of producers like Jeff Mills have been some of the best experiences of my life :)

..i like seeing bands! not some self important noddy twiddling knobs grooving away to himself behind a desk with big ears (headphones).


overly critical and simplistic, but i've never gone to a club to see a dj 'play' and dont intend to - thats for other people. when i go out to see live music i look fwd to one or two opening bands before the main band, its just more kosher... =)

What's wrong with DJs opening?
Just curious why you think so :)
