David Guetta ought to know, don’t let Lil Jon near the DJ booth

There’s no doubt in my mind David Guetta wanted the first stop in his US tour to be Atlanta. Last night’s show at Opera had a number of surprises, including a two-song cameo by Atlanta-based singer Chris Willis, who’s worked with the Parisian DJ on a handful of his better known anthems. But the crowd, packed nice and tight into the main room, didn’t quite expect the crunkmaster himself, Lil Jon, to make an appearance. Again. And again. And once more towards the end. And finally, when the lights came on, and the security guard was ushering the Guettablaster from the booth, to chants of “one more song.”
Succumbing to the massive peer pressure, the headphones where unpacked, the cables were plugged back, and Guetta’s “Sexy Bitch ” came back on the sounds. Only this time, it’s the remix. The Chuckie Remix, with who else but Atlanta’s own Lil Jon.
Of course, the man jumps in the booth along with DG, except the juice got the best of dude, prompting him to get in the way of the housemaster and his tools, spinning the record back (twice!) for the frenzied crowd.
Too bad it was 3 a.m. and this is Georgia. Security shut it down right as the track was in mid build up!
So now you know, beware of dreads and gold teeth near the DJ booth, ’cause Lil Jon may mess up your encore.
