[QUOTE=chunky;818730]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.[/QUOTE]

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

[QUOTE=DancingQueen;818755]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. [/QUOTE]

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!

[QUOTE=Steve Graham;818760]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 :)[/QUOTE]

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 ;)

^^^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,

[QUOTE]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 [/QUOTE]

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 :lol:

Guess I just have to use this :)

All DIDI is getting at is that people post threads like this all the time that simply stir the pot and she finds it pointless and boring (as I am sure others do as well)...I could be blind, but I am not seeing how she is attacking you personally

Come on it's GYY, there're heaps of pointless drivel and boring threads, that's the fun. No different from the BT/Oakenfold/Tiesto threads we have, deadmau5 should be pleased he joined their ranks.

We have a bit of lighthearted fun with the others, they certainly don't sink to the depths of Deadmau5 threads . If anyone was doing to them what has been done to DM I would be on that as well. I'm an equal opportunity defender. :lol:

Btw When did pointless drivel and boring threads become fun?? You need to get out more. :lol:

#1314711Post 56 of 93

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

I'm intelligent enough to think everyone is simply overreacting. Spyro's first post didn't even have anything inflammatory in it, it was just one sentence [QUOTE] moment of truth for the mousekid [/QUOTE]that hardly deserves the comments that follow. He didn't begin by bashing the producer. We're just being sensitive cos we frequent GYY and have seen similar deadmau5 threads in the past.

Whether we think deadmau5 has any merit at all, is subjective. However, his behaviour and comments in interviews set himself up as a target.

It's the same with the Tenaglia thread after he whinged like a baby, they cop the fallout for behaving the way they do.

If I walked into a pub and said something offensive regarding some cricket or football player the way deadmau5 or some other EDM tool have behaved, I'm sure I'll suffert more than a few discussion threads or comments.

#1314716Post 57 of 93

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

You're either taking yourself far too seriously , or being disingenuous! :) The poll was most definitely inflammatory, secondly if that didn't convince you, his second second post certainly should have. Not to mention the following ones. On top of that, it was pretty obvious I was aiming at the whole thread.

I believe hate threads speak more to the participants than the targets.

I also believe most of the stuff about him is rumour and innuendo because he has had the nerve to answer back the keyboard warriors. They think calling him names is cool.???

We actually saw what Tenaglia did and we still weren't as harsh :lol:

This is getting to the stage where I have said everything I want to say and I'm not really into debating / arguing for the sake of it at the moment. If anyone chooses to interpret my words to anything else bar what they actually say, that is their problem :D Dancing Queen had it right. :)

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

Really DD, wtf. You're accusing me of taking myself too seriously or being hypocritical?

Seriously? And you wonder why people think you're getting personal in this thread.

I foresee "locked thread" in the very near future..

#1314801Post 60 of 93

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

LOL ... I've purposely stayed away from this.

There were a couple of ticking timebomb threads last year resulting in a heavy dose of banning.

We all need to chill and re-group - this one seems to have spiralled.

[QUOTE=runningman;819847]I foresee "locked thread" in the very near future..[/QUOTE]

This thought actually came to my mind on page 1 already. :lol: But as usual, I hope for self-regulation, especially in GYY aka extended living room.

Seriously? And you wonder why people think you're getting personal in this thread.[/QUOTE]Where did I say anything about being hypocritical?? You like to further the debate :) I believe this is what you were doing here . I think you chose to take offence here, it certainly wasn't meant . I did indeed get personal with you, which I am sorry for, perhaps because of conversations we have had I presumed you wouldn't take offence.

As I said though I really don't like the idea of debating/arguing just for the sake of it.

#1314945Post 64 of 93

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

I didn't choose anything, how does the suggestion that everyone in this thread is overreacting a choice to be offensive?? One-trick rodent is offensive? To who? Saying deadmau5's merit is subjective but his behaviour sets him up as a target, that's offensive??

I could just as well be discussing Charlie Sheen or Tiger Woods for crying out loud.

#1314946Post 65 of 93

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

Are you OK ?? You are definitely answering things I just didn't say . I very obviously meant you took offence at the personal things I said to you . And for those I did say I was sorry. . Perhaps this conversation should be taken to PM .

For the record I thought what you said about Deadmau5 was fair comment or I would have said otherwise at the time. Boring, all been said before, but fair comment. :lol:

#1314952Post 66 of 93

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

Fuck it!

Just close the thread anyway - we can beg to differ and leave it at that, the subject is too unimportant to fall out about imo.

Wasn't it about this time last year when things got very heated here and people got banned?

Please not again, take 5, relax and listen to this, the deadmouse matters little

Re: is deadmau5 a waste of time?

ok so i suppose ill have to apologize now for starting a thread asking for what people think about an artist.. maybe some took it the wrong way but hey, we cant be all on the same wavelength.. i definitely didnt want to offend anyone in this forum, thats for sure! im out of this now too

Who the hell is Deadmau5?

Ok, so im probably a little behind on this one, but who the fuck is this Deadmau5 guy and why the fuck does he have this ridiculous amount of gigs? I mean this guy must play in my area of the world 5 times a year.

I know he produced some shite tracks a couple years ago, but how did he get so popular.
