DJ Yoshi

[zappaa]

Stinks, he's awful.
He ruining my decades old ritual of watching warmups starting exactly one hour before every game.
Get off my lawn...lol

 

[imoapie]

Didn't he say last week he plays what the players/coaches request?

 

[Ru2bnj]

Bring headphones and listen to your own stuff. I'm not a fan of DJs generally speaking.

 

[RUfan121]

He is God awful. It's low budget.

 

[Knight Shift]

I must be growing young at heart as I grow older because I did not mind it. I am also starting to like EDM. I am just looking for the right people to invite to my pool party to ride in on elephants and have Charlie Sheen crash the party. But I don't know anybody who looks like the people in that video for The Hum. :(

 

[MrsScrew]

He said in another thread that he only does the pre-game music. The rest comes out of the booth. He invited people to email him suggestions & he would take them to the production people.

 

[Ruthinking]

My only complaint about the pre-game music is that's it's a bit too loud. Other than that I assume that he's playing music that a college kid would like so I'm ok with it/him.

 

[rutgersdave]

It would only make sense he's getting the music from the players.

Stadium needs new speakers. It is pricey and unfortunately they have to blast the sound from the videoboard until there is $ to upgrade with speakers throughout the stadium.

 

[HeavenUniv.]

I do wish it was not quite so loud and that we would hear more New Jersey bands--Springsteen, Southside Johnny and The Asbury Jukes,John Eddie,Red House,Eddie Rabbitt,After The Reign,etc.

 

[Caliknight]

What DJ do you want to come in? It will cost about $2.5M to have someone like Tiesto do games.

 

[RUbanks]

It seems like some people are complaining more about the music than the DJ, but he just plays the music that the players and students like.

I regret to inform you that you, me and about 50 others would be happy with those choices.

 

[knightfan7]

Ear plugs Zap. I'm getting them for OSU after having my ear drums blasted the past few years.

I'm kind of shocked it'd bother you. You've had to concentrate on one thing a hell of a lot lot harder with 40-50,000 screaming fans surrounding you. Warm ups should be a walk in the park:smiley:

These guys are getting ready to go knock the crap out of someone, they can't be listening to our old man music. It's not my thing, but that's just the way it is. I also think a blackout is lame as it makes the stadium look empty at night, but when in Rome...:sunglasses:

I thought the students were in the seats on time in comparison with other sections. I would think the students and players are his audience pre game

 

[RUforJERSEY]

Get some headphones and an I something(pad,pod, etc) so you can listen to We Are Family over and over on an endless loop for 3.5 hours. :smiley:

 

[miketd1]

The previous generation's parents hated Elvis & The Beatles too.

 

[Leonard23]

Yoshi is good & the volume is fine. Even with a distributed speaker system, you'd need it loud for the players on the field. I really have to wonder whether any of the complainers have gone to another college stadium (pro too). You would've died at TTFP as the pregame music was similar hip hop & EDM (without mixing) & louder. Our in game music was good for MSU. Let it go already.

 

[RUSONIC]

We need to sit DJ Yoshi down and let Rettig spin some tunes.

 

[StyleKnight]

DJ Yoshi was on point last game.

 

[fg7321]

Ha HA had to ask my son what EDM was?

 

[REDRICH65]

Just stay outside and drink until te coin toss !

 

[RU205]

Play the music you want at your tailgate. You can play it as loud or soft as you want. In the stadium I want the players to hear what they want.

 

[BleedinRutgersRed]

Does he still play that song where they sing 'work hard play hard' over and over?

 

[RUinCANADA]

Music was absolutely solid for the under 30 crowd.

 

[Greene Rice FIG]

I think this is it.

admit it. You thought it was Erectile Dysfunction Medicine. :boxing:

 

[KT71]

I think others have stated here before that it is generally not the under 30 crowd that make the donations large enough to buy those new speakers that some have mentioned above. Just lower the volume some and make everyone happy. It's not a concert it's a football game. .At least he has stopped his annoying hollering into the mike.
Example: Why make a long time fan uncomfortable doing something he has done for years, and enjoys, just to blare some dopey music no one can make out anyhow?

Because the current big time donors are probably not going to withdraw their donations over the pregame music, but potential future donors might be more likely to become fans and therefore actual future donors if you make the game more attractive for them to attend.

 

[RU86]

Probably a few 50/50 raffles could afford the stadium new speakers

Need to make the 30some crowd become life long RU fans and hopefully start donating more and more as their income increases..
If you don't try to make going to RU games enjoyable to the younger crowd now, when their older they might have stopped going to RU FB games .

Building a solid fan-base and hopefully making RU FB games the place to be means catering to the younger crowd.
But RU also has to keep the long time season ticket holders happy as well.

Somehow RU has to find a way to make going to RU FB games a great experience for both the younger fans and those who are moving out of the young category, but refuse to be called the oldies . :zzz:

Negative ghost rider, the pattern is full. Distributed speaker/sound systems cost millions of dollars (everyone should read this article about stadium sound systems): http://www.athleticbusiness.com/designing-sound-systems-to-meet-stadium-audio-challenges.html

I don't wear head phones to a football game,
How does he play what the players want, when he doesn't play the actual song, he plays some dumb ass mix, minus instruments at times.
He blows.
I like a lot of the songs he plays but he makes his own versions up that suck.
I'm there, I see players get excited when he plays an intro to a song they like, they start moving and he sabotages it by changing it before it gets going, players look up at him wondering what the hell he's doing.
I see it, I'm right there.
I think the game music is excellent, the choice of songs the dance team performs to are great because they play the actually song.

By the way, if you're one of the great majority that doesn't enter the stadium before the band comes on the field, you've never heard him and you have no idea what I'm talking about.

Liked just for the Top Gun reference.

This is the real issue you should focus on. People need to be in their seats much earlier.

 

[zappaa]

The way he butchers "watch me" it wouldn't matter if he had the greatest speakers in the world.
And don't tell me the players like it, they get pissed at him, I'm ten feet from them, I hear.

Yeah, so what exactly are you trying to accomplish, but the obvious.
