Deadmau5 on Studio Q - Video Interview
Man....I used to feel that Joel was a bit of a tool and that he had a loud mouth etc.
But after watching this interview, I must say that my mind has been changed.
I found myself agreeing and identifying with ALL the points he made and could not fault it.
Respect Joel..... |

Fact. It's like he said, it seems like the media has nothing else to do than dramatise such little & trivial matters. Especially simple Twitter / Facebook comments. The big downside of 'social' media.

It was quite cool how he admitted he sold out to dubstep just because it was popular. Don't believe much other people would have done that.
Same here! Would rather be surrounded by honest twats than backstabbing liars. And can't agree even more on the statement where he admits selling out. |

Hahahaha I will completely agree with you there. I cant stress enough how much I would rather be stuck on an island with somebody who speaks their mind and is a lil crazy then somebody who is very dull and boring. Imagine the fun you would have with mau5 on a island!!!!! |

That would put me off too, to be honest. What strikes me....is that he stands for his beliefs.
Solidly too!
No matter who it is....
Definitely, i was pretty taken back when he started speaking about the people getting out their faces at gigs etc. Also i believe quite a few people would have crumbled when the whole Madge believe kicked off simply because it's.. Madge. But he stuck by his guns.

There are and always have been those average "townie" DJ's. When it comes to him, he was a DJ before any of that Jersey Shore stuff. How can you fault a guy for capitalizing on fame? I guess if I didn't find it so hypocritical, I'd have no problem with bashing him. At the end of the day though, I know every single person who talks down on the guy would do the same thing in his position.
Yeah, i guess you are right. Lets not play the popularity game and give him his dues for doing what he can to get where he can.
Reading that again, it was a bad analogy. I blame the red wine...and PaulyD's hair. heheheheh
But yes, I agree with you. I take it back. |

Kanesha Bredin
30.10.2012 | I generally don't like the Mau5, but that was a great interview, and he really made a lot of great points regarding the context within which many of his comments are made versus the way that they are interpreted or blown way out of proportion. All in all, interesting. Maybe I'll put a song or two of his back in the rotation... |
Ciara Cuttill
30.10.2012 | media will always overhype drama for the masses. he has real talent. i miss the BSOD days. |
Bunny Sockel
30.10.2012 | I watch a few of his livestreams and he is an amazing guy to watch and listen too. His knowledge about production is just unreal. A lot of people believe he's a dick but he's actually not |
Lilliana Perris
30.10.2012 | Check out the video...its worth it....
Nice to hear HIS side to the whole 'story'. |
Lilliana Perris
30.10.2012 | YAY!
I am stoked that it is being well received. Kinda made me believe straight for a bit and go...You know, I need to not listen to hype and believe every post..twitter...facebook status..I read.
He seems fucking genuine and just like me or one of my mates.
His business is taking off and its looking good. However he is not RICH...but getting there...
Any publicity is good publicity i guess, but PaulyD for instance, has a lot of shit talk around hit...but its not doing him any good in the long run...as most of it is true. But the shit spoken about Joel...now seems BS to me. Not that i am believing all he is saying, but because this is the first time I have seen him talk for more than 2 mins and be able to express himself.
Cool man....I liked it. |
Lang Abriel
31.10.2012 | I didn't watch this video but deadmau5 has been business minded since day 1 with music. Hes gonna be a mogul for sure, his ideas on branding are spot on and you can tell hes done some reading about building a business.
All in all hes just a really smart guy...still don't know about his personality but whatevs |
Estrella Rozzo
31.10.2012 | Nice, nice. Saw/read many other interviews from Deadmau5, although his music isn't my thing. He's such an interesting guy actually. But in this interview it seems like the most honest I've seen Joel. Respect +1, again. |
Elizabet Sledz
30.10.2012 | Nice find! I never actually realised how well spoken he could be in interviews. I suppose alot of my views of him probably came out of quotes with no context.
I thought it was incredibly interesting to listen to his justification for his live streams, and his views of money in - money out. He's trying to achieve a level of transparency in his music production that is hard to find outside of smaller indie artists. |
Lilliana Perris
30.10.2012 | Yeah, it was good huh? |
Ruthanne Heiman
30.10.2012 | really enjoyed that interview. |
