Giorgio Moroder - as bad as Paris Hilton?

Giorgio Moroder - as bad as Paris Hilton?
Posted on: 23.05.2013 by Lawana Spratlen
Moroder doing a DJ Set, have not listened to it yet but do you believe that this is any different to Paris Hilton 'jumping on the band wagon'?

Im looking forward to listening to it, and especially his mixing and track selection.

Yep the world should be full of ass kissing brown nosers, who "like everything" and have absolutely no dislike for anything.. That would make it magical.

What part of that was his own music? He triggered a hat and a vocal sample on the launchpad... they played 2 1/2 songs... with standard transitions. People are easily impressed now a days arent they?

I'd primarily like to laud you for asking a very honest question (because you'd just like to know what the big deal with an old man behind a DJ booth in probably the most amazing evening club in NYC doing with a bit of help)...

Here's the big deal (and if it wasn't for that old man, we wouldn't be dancing)...

A: Giorgio Moroder is a freaking god! (He pretty much spells it out in his song Giorgio by Giorgio on Daft Punk's new Album) He redefined (along with Cerrone and multitudes of others) a different genre of music back in the day... some have classified it as Ital-Disco- yet once upon a time, the entire world were enthralled with a new kind of sound Internationally... that's where Niles Rodgers (producing credits on Random Access Memories- super producer of so many genres of music- just Google him) came into play. Think about how 'new music genres' become popular and scale what we know decreased by a billion times...

B: In that aforementioned song, Mr. Moroder stated that he didn't know and didn't care about technological limitations in song theories... he just wanted to be free... At the moment, we are all trying to physically quantize an aural feeling (mostly to our peers-)...

C: Musical technology has come so far in such a short span of time that it is difficult for us, right now, to keep up with whatever computer programs (be it music production, DJ mixing, actual mixers, monitors, the computers that we run them on, headphones, and turntable needle styluses) from year to year... Could you imagine a master craftsman, who at one time, was very instrumental in changing the entire world's scope of living life via music by simply listening to and believing his heart?

D: The mere fact that his appearance at Output (which I sadly missed) was, I believe, his personal tribute to us- the kids... I feel as if he wanted to see the legacy that he left.... and hopefully aren't squandering.

E: Also, coming from the time that people like Cerrone, Chic (which Niles Rodgers was a part of), and Bohannon are still inspiring those in the recent, and so called nu-disco eras... respect...

ARE YOU SERIOUS????!!!! (to the OP) -

Giorgio Moroder is a living legend. Let's see how much any of us have to say for ourselves at 73 years old. Look at his resume - and then compare him to Paris Hilton.

who gives a sh#t if he can't beat match or whatever, he's a huge part of the reason why this culture exists at all. I was at the show in Brooklyn this past monday. one of the best evening s i've been to in a while - and maybe the most inspiring for me ever. Even the NYC crowd was going nuts - and that doesn't happen easily. The room was filled with electricity, love, and amazing music that most people can only dream of making.

it was all his own music, so yeah - its absolutely justified if he wants to experience this side of things. i'm very happy for him.

If you're making music for people to go out to dance to, you ought to know a little bit more about GM. learn your roots man, it will do you and your music some good.

To be honest, collaborating with Daft Punk, then watching their live sets, you're going to want to DJ.

you know whats sucks? is that you are talking shit without even listening to it at all. Who cares if it is bandwagon or not, if its amazing shouldn't that be enough?

besides give the guy a break he's almost 80, you believe he understands these fancy new button pushing music making computers?

The set was pretty freaking good if you ask me
If the man wanted to DJ im sure he would have done it before he was 80. It smacks of paypacket djing.

I've got mixed feelings about this one... he's clearly got an actual DJ next to him doing some of the work, BUT he's playing stuff live (admittedly just a once-a-bar hi-hat/crash in this video) on a Launchpad or something similar, so I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. Certainly does seem to be a bit of a gimmick though.
