Learn to play instrument? Here's some zedd on drums

I can't stand any of that EDM shit...

sounding like an old man, but I remember when people actually had to learn an instrument.

and pah-lease ...I had artist passes for 3 years and stood on stage at some EDM sets to check them out...and all they ever did was press play on their Mac Books then act like they were pressing buttons and moving shit around....they didn't do anything, but the crowd bought it and that's what they all do. If you are ever back stage you'll see them setting up and most have a backup Mac Book in case they have any issues.

Watch it next time they are 'moving their hands' notice nothing in the music changes.

They make their 'tracks' ahead of time so they can press play and let the track play...they are like Milli Vanili....all look no substance...but you fools love the shit.

keep eating it up...but if you turn your brain on and actually watch them...they don't do shit.

Defend your love for the music if you like, but don't be so stupid as to think any of them are doing anything on stage other than acting.

Watch a Dj shadow set without any laptop and tell me he isn't a musician.

Also booka shade and simian mobile disco last year were not press play.Learn something you ignorant fuck.

Figured I'd post my response to the thread.
Seeing how people have replied to these artist, I can already assume the responses.
But in no way am I an edm connoisseur I'm just the average listener as I listen to other stuff

I'm most excited for dillon francis, deorro, galantis, zedd, krewella, and mako
The reason why I chose these is I'm hoping real good crowd energy,

On the other end I'm excited for flight facilities, netsky, disclosure, classixx, Holy Ghost, disclosure, flume, maceo plex, scuba


I will though, not miss a full band that I like for most of these (some I will)

But that's it, if there's nothing else interesting to me, I'll catch martin garrix as I do like bfam, torrent, error 404 and keygen, I'm not a fan of anything after animals, and I'm tired af of animals.

I have no plans to catch skrillex but if in a similar way as garrix If I'm not doing anything I'll go eat my spicy pie near his set, and see how an artist with that much fame handles himself and the audience.

[roboto]

You had me at spicy pie .

[AcidBanana]

Netsky is playing with a live band and @baily go watch Duck Sauce and then tell us A-trak doesn't do anything

[M0D3Z]

WE NEED MORE GOATS!!

Music should be about how you feel regardless of how it's presented. I've loved DJ/EDM/EBM since as long as I can remember and I always hear the debate of "they don't play instruments, yada, yada, yada". Well, there is definitely craftsmanship/skill required to put harmonies/melodies together whether it's done on a computer or a banjo. Sure, some people would prefer the former than the latter and that's fine. Heck, if everyone liked the same stuff it would make for a boring world. Anyway....

If you want to see DJs away from their computer "unplugged" then check out Above and Beyond's appropriately titled "Acoustic". I think it's great (again, my opinion) and they have the whole set on youtube. Check it.

[itsjustjj86]

netsky, kraddy, kill paris, gorgon city, glitch mob

[homersexual]

The Pet Shop Bro's

[mau5trap]

Deadmau5

[baily]

Watch a Dj shadow set without any laptop and tell me he isn't a musician.

I'll check it out....

[kroqken]

I go to see BANDS, not DJs, so you EDM fans have fun without me. The last time I voluntarily went into the Sahara dance tent was in 2007 to see the Happy Mondays, and it was not a good set.

[GuyInTucson]

Only BANDS? What about SOLO ARTISTS WHO PLAY INSTRUMENTS?

You are "correct sir", as that Saturday Night Live parody of Ed McMahon used to go. I do see solo artists also.

Man these last couple of nights have been entertaining on here.

[SepaGroove]

"The Sahara Dance Tent"

[kroqken]

"The Sahara Dance Tent"

If I had an inclination to meet tourists from the Dominican Republic, I might BRIEFLY visit the Sahara. I always have wondered why Dominicans and Puerto Ricans don't get along. It is similar to the annual "Armenians verses Mexicans" fight that takes place every year at Grant high School, in Valley Glen California.

I'll check it out....

DJ Shadow is amazing!

[Bchang89]

netsky, hot since 82, skrillex, TJR

FYI, Zedd was trained as a classical concert pianist for 16 years before making it as a DJ (around age 20). Not to mention he is an excellent drummer. See whatever musical performances you want (and by all means opine on them) but to believe these guys aren't musicians is a really ignorant opinion to hold.

[Doug Funnie]

The Glitch Mob is going to be insane.

[Lithium]

Martin Garrix

I've been following your gimmick about Garrix ever since the lineup was announced and can't understand why anyone would be MOST excited to see this clown. There is quality music all around this joke and yet you still vouch for this guy as the "artist of the century." He's just another rich white kid with expensive equipment. Fuck Martin Garrix and fuck his parents.

[Relic]

Elton John. Did I win anything?

[david.sound]

Guy Gerber.

Since we're talking about EDM, read this it's funny:

Elton John. Did I win anything?

A bottle of astroglide poured onto a glove .The glove is on kvnty"s left hand. He's naturally right handed so this might not end well as well as you had hoped.
