出身瑞典的DJ,同時以演唱「Now You’re Gone」與「All I Ever Wanted」等曲走紅歐美的Basshunter,2/22在紐約演出時闖了禍。當日他因美國宣傳巡迴演出,與Luminox、 Ookay、 ZAXX等人同台。具當天目擊者提供的影像,他顯然是喝大了。結果他不但演出嚴重失常,在短短三十分鐘內放了同一首歌四次,更在台上與人發生激烈爭執。
由於他走鐘走得太離譜,甚至疑似出拳打人,導致最後被人請下台。和他同台的DJ顯然也沒打算幫他的離譜行徑說話…
So apparently Basshunter train wrecked his set ///: Can't believe it. He's a mad nice guy and shit.

I'm going to stay professional and not say anything rude about other artists even if they deserve it. That's not what the music is about.

在持續幾天「不回應」狀態後,2/25 Basshunter在臉書發文,對自己的脫序行為做出解釋。他提到當天場地的麥克風與監聽系統都有問題,這點Luminox也有提到。當天觀眾對於這個問題也很諒解,當他放自己的歌時,台下都會跟著唱。他當天確實喝了點酒,事實上他八年來每次上台必喝,所以這不是問題。當天他放到後來確實脾氣差了點,但他沒有打人,他認為自己只需要對經紀人咆嘯這點道歉(而他也和經紀人講和了)。
所以…觀眾怎麼想呢?
I think Basshunter tonight may have topped Krewellas ultra set for worst performances in the history of the United States.

貼心小叮嚀:為了您的事業著想,耳朵蟲建議您,放歌不嗨掛,嗨掛不放歌(可以這樣嗎?)。總之上台少喝點啦。
