Okay, Here's why I respect Deadmau5 :

[RichieBees]

He is mixing live using a ton of virtual instruments and custom mix work.

He Really only mixes his own music.


He is putting a new face on what it means to be a DJ (Which scares other DJ)



He has a sick Mouse hat.


He used to be an ex raver and probably did lots of ECSTASY !









And He means Business.



So How Much Ecstasy do you all think it takes before you become a Mau5?

 

you can't be serious. you realize that deadmau5 is playing music he has written himself, right? what he does doesn't compare to what a dj does insofar as it is about 1,000,000x cooler and requires 1,000,000x more talent than djing.

(a little tip for the kids: DJING IS EASY AS FUCK. any idiot can do it with a bit of practice. now sit down and try to write a track that doesn't sound like it was written on a calculator )

that being said, I don't like deadmua5's music either, but I have a ton of respect for an artist that can captivate huge audiences playing exclusively original material.

nincompoop

[th555]

There are loads of artists I have respect for.

[MadameChaos]

 

 

You can totally see his face through that mask the fricking' muppet.

If he used to be an ex-raver, does that mean he's a raver now, or what ?

 

[Alcofribas]

what's up with those gloves? was he an archivist?

[david]

I like him, don't care for his music very much though

[psn]

what's up with those gloves? was he an archivist?

 

He used to wear Mickey Mouse gloves, then switched to Mickey Mouse helmet.

[Alcofribas]

he should try both at the same time.

[user]

It's inevitable, like all porn stars end up doing DP at some point.

 

There's 1 or 2 DM tracks I can appreciate, faxing berlin being one of them. Don't mind the dude so much as the constant arguments surrounding him, it's weird people getting so worked up over someone they see as the sole destroyer of electronic music.

Also I think it's pretty cool he did that panel with Richie Hawtin especially since Richie used to own the domain fucktrance.com which had a pretty great quote about electronic music from his mother on it.

[Guest nene multiple assgasms]

here's why I don't respect deadmaufive: he makes house that isn't funky. unforgiveable.

[Guest Frankie5fingers]

honestly, i couldnt care less that the guy is famous. thats not why i hate his music. i just cant stand it cause to me it sounds like generic electronic music that i hear all the time on Soundcloud. and Richie, if you really think hes the first DJ to write his own music then your an idiot.

[Plarkreluke Banloboh]

I don't know why he didn't call himself |)34|)^^4|_|5? Seems like a wasted opportunity.

[soundwave]

its dance music for people who don't take drugs

[OneToThirtySix]

lol

From what I saw working backstage at LED when he was playing, his fans take plenty of drugs.

 

 

[ambermonk]

Don't think I'd wanna be around him. He's probably one of those twitchy attention whores who's hopped up on energy drinks all the time. And he's shrimpy, like a chihuahua.

[goDel]

He deserves respect for having landed Dita Von Teese. Is that still a thing, btw?

[Adieu]

No he married Kat von D

[goDel]

Lol

 

I'm so confused right now.

 

He deserves respect for landing her too, btw. Maybe a tiny bit less, bit still.

and are prominently teenagers

 

 

try watching this with the sounds muted

then open another tab and play this tune instead (skip the ad quick)

 

 

much better

 

 

 

 

He's only famous because he wears a big silly head so plebs in large crowds can spot him from a distance and say "look its Deadmau5" in that Nigel Tuffnell tone of voice.

 

I couldn't recall a single track if his if I tried.

[awepittance]

 

its dance music for people who take boring drugs

From what I saw working backstage at LED when he was playing, his fans take plenty of drugs.

 

has anyone else in this thread mentioned that looks as if he's dying from late stage aids?

 

I also find it embarrassing but also funny that he acted as if he was dropping some big revelation in that interview where's he like 'hey guys guess what, none of us actually play live we just hit a button on a laptop' or something to that effect. Not only is that totally not true, there are plenty of electronic musicians who know how to play live, but that implies that he doesn't know a single live accomplished electronic musician. If he doesn't have aids i hope someone gives it to him

[goDel]

Thanks man. I'm loving that lifelike track. And that retro future disco vibe that's been in the air for a while now. Good shizz.

[Guest Atom Dowry Firth]

Lol

He proposed to her on Twitter

Maybe keep his statements within his context? The people who turn up at deadmau5 concerts tend to listen to button pressing stage monkeys perhaps? No need to go all " he deserves aids" on his ass. You angry man?

 

Edit @ timothy: yeah, i know the story. I confused names. Kat von D. Dita nov Teese. Nothing too unsimilar, no? Wouldn't be surprised if they had more in common.
