"Oh hey there's this really great artist but he sucks compared to my imaginary perfect artist."<br /><br />I was very sad that I stayed through the end of Justice's set at last year's Hard Haunted and missed the beginning of your set. We were tired as hell but had to stay through yours. I love Strobe and Soma and they are nice breaks to let people breath. I am keeping my eyes peeled for your next show near me.BlackholeZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300774077090073043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-76434726246819239062010-09-22T22:53:46.537-07:002010-09-22T22:53:46.537-07:00ANd another FUUUUCK YEAH TO GALTJOHN 2 COMMENTS AB...ANd another FUUUUCK YEAH TO GALTJOHN 2 COMMENTS ABOVE MEUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151133957183037573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-72354544898682571822010-09-22T22:50:37.186-07:002010-09-22T22:50:37.186-07:00HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DUde, what the FUCK is wron...HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DUde, what the FUCK is wrong with them?? I bet almost 100% of your haters dont even know that you correlate your feelings and thoughts and creativeness for something not only into the music but into the name of the song and the show. Take for example the song Cthulhu Sleeps. 1) Most people have a hard time pronouncing Cthulhu along with spelling it. Your haters probably cant do either. 95% of your haters dont even know what Cthulhu is and out of that 95%, 100% dont even know you correlate what Cthulhu is into your set...You know what I'm talking about mr. mau5. If more people truly knew what CREATIVE music and sets were about, our world would be filled with talented geniuses. Instead we have a failing teenage society where everything is so one minded as to "your set sucked." <br />One more thing, TOmmy Lee as a drummer? That shit is dope. Sorry we cant bring Tommy to every god dang set for your fuckin convenience. Either way it doesnt matter what set you do, its about putting heart and soul into each set and thats what you do Joel. Thats what makes it the perfect set.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07151133957183037573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-76531525566117000602010-09-22T21:22:49.174-07:002010-09-22T21:22:49.174-07:00i loved you at EDC, and it was well worth the trou...i loved you at EDC, and it was well worth the trouble going. me, being probably the only kid there who spent the whole time sitting down with a notepad taking notes on the performances, found just a minor li'l bug about your set. kaskade had a crazy light show, then you came on. it was a bit dark at first, so i thought it was going to progress, but it remained pretty much the same through out the rest of the set [except for the occasional fireworks/fire/strobes]. i felt the lack of having an insane light show might've not done justice to the set, but regardless, everything else was flawless.<br /><br />tl;dr: ZOMG U SUK'D BIG TIEM I HAIT u NAO!1!1!11!!1!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00789384843077836602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-61084840943321912802010-09-17T22:01:47.889-07:002010-09-17T22:01:47.889-07:00if i may say so, i think you got so much criticism...if i may say so, i think you got so much criticism (not all of it warranted) because the shows this summer were so tightly choreographed, between setlist/effects/visuals.<br /><br />i know, that's supposed to be a good thing. obviously a SHIT ton of work goes into setting a tracklist that takes the amped-ness of the crowd up and down for 2 hours while keeping the energetic feel going, not to mention having all the lighting effects sync up perfectly. (after all, people come to your shows to dance and let off some steam). but i think the opportunity cost of having a show that is so specifically planned/sequenced is that the natural feel of a DJ set is lost.<br /><br />this leads back to the main point of contention between you and your critics who misunderstand you - that you self-identify as a producer, not a DJ. i remember you once posted that you're not performing to 'match the energy of the crowd' or feed off of them, but rather to get up there and play the music that you've learned to produce over the last however many years. and when people go to these festivals/clubs, a lot of times their expectations are that the DJ will feed off the energy of the crowd, mix & match his song selection to correspond with that energy, and the entire thing has a more organic feel. whereas in your case, with such tightly choreographed setlist/lighting/effects, it's obviously not going to be that way, since the whole thing is rehearsed and you're there to give your music (so to speak) to the crowd. it's like watching a play vs watching improv - the play clearly takes a lot more scripting, homework, and rehearsal, but people enjoy watching improv so much since you really don't know what you're gonna be getting.<br /><br />it's not easy to reconcile this, since the crowd is there not only for audio stimulation, but the light show / visual effects as well. no one can realistically deny that the connection between the audio-visual components of your live shows are unmatched. and obviously it's impossible to have them perfectly in sync if, like most DJ's, it's an extemporaneous/largely improvised set. your sets are truly a performance whereas most other artists out there are putting on a show, if you get my drift. it's unreasonable for the crowd to expect an audio-visual experience that is perfectly balanced and complemented if they also want you to make up the setlist on the go. find me someone who can do that, and i'll show you someone with 4 arms and 2 brains.<br /><br />case in point - your live uStream set a few days ago was by far the best received set amongst my many mau5-addicted friends. why? because instead of structuring the songs to match the scripted light show, it seemed like you were just having fun up there with the music, while (seemingly) implementing a lot more improvisation.<br /><br />i saw you 7 times this summer, each time was mindblowing, but also exactly the same. in my opinion, most of the criticism you've received is because after seeing the same show several times, it gets monotonous, even if it consists of the absolute best tracks from the absolute best producer out there. it's a trade off, i don't particularly care since your music captures my general state of mind so well, but maybe this helps clear up why so many people were attacking the shows this summer that clearly took a lot of work, and were something that you're rightly really proud of.trademau5https://www.blogger.com/profile/02820221122107172060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4494304474791867472.post-51161335767215192232010-09-17T07:59:30.579-07:002010-09-17T07:59:30.579-07:00Well, I've been following your career since 20...Well, I've been following your career since 2007 and have seen 8 shows since. I loved everyone of them. I've never heard anyone saying your show sucks but heard some people being disappointed that some shows are very identical (tracks, order of tracks). I try to argue that of course not every show can be completely different since you're not at all the stereotypical DJ who uses whatever is hot at the moment in his sets. You play your own stuff. This is one of the reasons that has made you such a success. Obviously you can't produce 5 new songs a day for the next show. Those who claim to be disappointed have to understand that. Deadmau5 is a different electronic music artist than all the others.

I love the cube and all the visuals you had. You played lots of new stuff, but I do love your older stuff as well. Songs like clockwork and brazil. I'm going to the cypress hill smokeout and I'm excited to see you play again.(if you played clockwork there I would be thrilled.) Truth is, there's always going to be those random people who will say whatever they want through the internet. You just have to know that your doing what you love and your fans will love your music regardless. Your fame was brought on by the great work that you have done, so forget the people that are criticizing you for your new found fame, you earned it!

The guitarist stumbled around the whole time wasted, they were all out of synch, and at the end a flying bass guitar came inches from nailing the drummer (pretty sure it was thrown with the intent to decapitate) which then ended the gig twenty minutes early.

You do unfortunately have a tendency to play VERY different sets. Your two best were easily Coachella and Lovevolution this past year. They were high energy sets that were bad-ass. But you know very well you played mellow sets at both EDC and HHM. I go to shows to dance, so obviously those two were a big let-down for me.<br /><br />Compared to what I know you are capable of, those two shows really were extremely disappointing.
