is deadmau5 a waste of time?

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

imo if there's people out there who enjoy his music & productions then he's not a waste of time.

I've got no love for Ragga, Happy Hardcore, Speed Garage etc but I don't feel the need to start threads telling everyone. I think a lot of these threads are more to do with resentment of other DJ's success.

^ think that's about it really

My gut feeling is that the bloke is a cock, but he's not alone there in the music business is he? I don't resent his success, good luck to him..

And as for his fans, when it boils down to it the difference between the people who go and see him and the people who go and see sasha et all is only very slight really.

You'll probably find you have much more in common with those people than you let yourself admit, and i'll put money on it a lot of you will have been out and danced to his productions whether knowingly or not..

Or do you leave the dancefloor/stop having a good time when one of his tunes comes on for no other reason than it was made by him?

^ If you do then that is way fuckin weirder than playing records in a mouse head

Exactly. He is hardly a waste of time IMO. I happen to like several of his tracks and I am sure he will continue to put out tracks that people like. He can't please everyone (nor can any DJ), but there are people out there that enjoy his music.

As DIDI has pointed out, we have threads like this bashing other DJ's and other styles all the time and they definitely always seem to appear in and around the time of the DJ Mag polls.

he is a cunt.

he is taking everyones money and laughing at them while he does it. dont give him more money. let him go back to failing at making d&b

If you don't like someones music, simply don't listen to it. I feel like I've said these words a million times.....I just don't get the point of bashing other DJ's....just because you don't like their music, doesn't mean they aren't talented...just listen to what you enjoy and carry on about your day....why people have to be so negative all the time is beyond me....life is too short for drama

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

i dont care for him, never did even before his incident, but that being said when he was in Tampa he packed the place and i've heard nothing but good reviews.. if you dig his choons there's no reason to not go see him..

having said that, i really dont see the point in starting these threads about any artist as its always going be split 50/50 for the most part

You don't want to know.

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

It´s almost hard to believe that some people actually enjoy that noise..

Happy Hardcore. LOL!! There was a massive Happy Hardcore scene in N. Ireland in mid - late Nineties. Quite unavoidable at times!!

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

This whole you dont have to click on it is complete nonsense. Do you only want people to click on the thread who are people who agree with your statement.

People write things that aren't very nice about most people, it doesn't mean they are accurate. Everyone has their fans & their critics its all just down to opinion.

yeah man youre so right about the opinions. of course people can click on them and disagree with the statement thats the point of the poll anyway. criticizing the thread is another thing tho. there goes the "click on the next one" thing

Exactly. He is hardly a waste of time IMO. I happen to like several of his tracks and I am sure he will continue to put out tracks that people like. He can't please everyone (nor can any DJ), but there are people out there that enjoy his music.

As DIDI has pointed out, we have threads like this bashing other DJ's and other styles all the time and they definitely always seem to appear in and around the time of the DJ Mag polls.

apparently i like some of his tunes, but he still is a waste of time for me. when you represent a music scene made of love, peace and respect for each other, you have to support these things as well and not be an asshole who dont care about your fans or other fellow djs, actually dont care about nothing except yourself and your success.. i remember in another forum kosmas epsilon tried once to get in touch with joel about remixing some tunes of kosmas and the result was not only the job to be cancelled but joel left kosmas with the worst impressions apparently and this was something that took place even before joels first incident with the paper... its just his attitude i think and the young of his age, that make him so shithead!!! as for the dj mag poll, honest to god, nothing to do with that, i didnt even know what his position was, but being so high as you said, it means that hes got some serious fans out there! at least im not one of them!

i dont care for him, never did even before his incident, but that being said when he was in Tampa he packed the place and i've heard nothing but good reviews.. if you dig his choons there's no reason to not go see him..

having said that, i really dont see the point in starting these threads about any artist as its always going be split 50/50 for the most part

i think its because we are just so curious to see what others here think about a particular artist. [ms] is a place with people who have a big knowledge about the music we love and hearing different opinions is always educative

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

^^^Sigh, you just can't help yourself, can you?? You say he is a waste of time , but how long have you spent on this thread??

You say this,

i think its because we are just so curious to see what others here think about a particular artist. [ms] is a place with people who have a big knowledge about the music we love and hearing different opinions is always educative

Right after you have made an incredible personal attack , based on stuff you read in forums???? Nothing to do with music at all. !! As I keep saying we have heard it all before with various embellishments, so it is BORING!!! . I think most of us are capable of forming an opinion without you shoving yours down our throat continually. !!!

Btw if there was ever any doubt that you only wanted to people to agree with you. They were well and truly dispelled by your last post

Guess I just have to use this
