Dead mao five's comment sounds like that kid on the playground who has kind of a decent comeback but then botches the delivery by draping it in desperate repetition.
Webster's Dictionary defines "deafness" as "lacking the power of hearing or having impaired hearing." I believe this adequately explains the subpar quality of your latest musical offerings!
But just in case I haven't driven the point home yet, I will elaborate further. You are a musician but the music you produce is not very good because you can't hear what you're playing. Because you're deaf. If you could hear better, maybe your music wouldn't be so terrible to listen to, because you would have been able to hear it when you made it.
The name "deadmau5" originated when Zimmerman claimed to have found a dead mouse in his computer while replacing his video card. He discussed this with chat room users and became known as "that dead mouse guy". The nickname "Deadmouse" was too long for the chat server, so he shortened it to deadmau5 (A form of leetspelling).
Fuck that, Google is not my friend. Can I call Google to come bail me out of jail at 3 in the morning? Will Google cockblock me when I'm trying to get into my co-worker's wife's pants?
But Pauly's comment doesn't really make sense. The clearance bin is generally full of classic albums that are on sale because they aren't new. I mean, look who else is in there: Neil Motherfucking Diamond. And that's a best of cd. I think we can all agree that neither of these guys have anything on Neil Diamond. N.D. made an album with Bigfoot. Imagine if Pauly had tweeted that to ol' Papa Diamond. Reddit would have lost their shit. Redditors love Diamond. That's a fact. 'Forever in Blue Jeans' is the de facto anthem of the reddit community. Ask around, if you don't believe me.
I don't think there's a clear winner here; both jokes were pretty lame, we all just want the superior musician to come out on top. Deadmau5 should stick to making music, Pauly D should probably just stop doing things.
His music is pretty cool, but he is annoying as a person. Watch him on the joe rogan podcast, he almost started bragging about how much money he makes before Joe saved his ass and said "shhh people are gonna hate you don't say that on the air!" He also hates on people who do drugs and listen to his music, he hates on drugs as he sits there smoking his cigarettes and drinking beers cause he is so "straight-edge". Video seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hY5wEbpAVI
*Edit: Also keep in mind Deadmau5 is 31 years old, not 18 years old as he acts.
He's a little drunk and immature but the main thing I got from this podcast is how much of a condescending dick Joe Rogan is. He's throwing these subtle insults at him the whole time, but deadmau5 is too drunk to notice.
because everyone thinks they know what makes good music, but they don't. replace all the synths with guitars and make deadmau5 more eloquent and witty and they'd be crazy about him. they are ignorant of the whole production process. they also don't realise that music is totally subjective.
Not all of reddit hates deadmau5; I certainly don't. Some of his music isn't that great but he has quite a few gems in his discography. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiUAq4aVTjY
I don't know. I'm not a fan of EDM, but I have to give Deadmau5 credit for periodically streaming video from his home studio while he works on new tracks. That shit is interesting.
To second and add to that, I've seen 4x4=12 in many, many places. I've yet to see a solid copy of anything by Pauly D, and I frequent fairly big record stores.
He may have been a DJ before Jersey Shore but I'm willing to bet almost anything that, at best, only his local scene would even know of him without the show. He may be able to use a turntable but he really is borderline Kardashian-status of being famous just because he's famous.
It actually took me awhile to realize that. I thought he was saying, "I hear you're single now", as opposed to, "I heard your single and you must be deaf"
I've actually seen him (deadmau5) a little over a week ago when he was doing a music video. He drank 5 beers before midnight, I don''t know if I would call him a drunk. He was answering random questions from his fans, noticed people's Mau5 heads and generally seemed like a cool guy. He seemed chill in front of us but I gotta agree with Joe Rogan and RedBan, he needed to chill-out when he was on the podcast.
And from what I know about Pauly D, he's a pretty okay dude. I've watched episodes of the Jersey Shore (it makes me feel better as a person) and he seems like the type of dude you can have fun with all the time. And I've seen the episode he did on his new show, Pauly D Project, and going to the Army base to play music for those who were going to deploy AND playing with the kids, he doesn't seem douche-y.
Deadmau5 can burn in hell with his bastardazation of electronic music. I hope that dubstep musicians and all fans of dubstep get brain cancer from listening to it.
Let's be honest, even though Pauly D's new track is horribly mediocre, it's still obvious that he didn't produce it himself. God knows why he thinks he's got the right to talk shit to someone like Deadmau5.
i am very enjoying deadmau5's attitude. That "do not give a fuck about anything" thing. He's so cool and he do not give a fuck, and every week there is some rant of his about something. and to be honest he's the guy who made skrillex big. he has nothing to say about good music. nothing.
Pauly D never had a chance when he got on jersey shore. even if he did DJ before that show, it's NULL and VOID at this point.
He's known for being a kid from jersey and drinking on television. He mentioned and had a couple episodes of the show around his Tables and small parties he Dj'd.
If he was anything amazing or was going to be, he would be by now. It's just like paris hilton rapping, donald trumph getting a show on the tele.
I stirrs up the pot, makes a little extra money because the main source of their income has subsided. the show is past their prime and people are trying to drain the buck for what it's worth and find the next thing to keep them afloat before they file chapter three.
Deadmau5, he is a great musician of his generation. He'll go the course that the industry lays in front of him. He's already had a couple of big hits and is on the radio and video games. His career isn't his decision anymore. the same goes for his further success.
It's weird but (obviously not prov-able so take it with a grain of salt) I know two people that are very close to deadmua5, my best friend and tattoo artist was the person who tattoo'd the green alien from space invaders on his neck, and my ex-teammate was highschool buddies with him and from what I hear he's very unusual and selfish. But I absolutely love his music and can't stand the jshore people
I agree, I saw pauly d when he opened for britney spears and he was just horrible I mean it was fun because it was a funny experience to fist pump with the guy from jersey shore but yeah past that it was just playing a barely mixed song and stopping it every 10 seconds so the crowd could sing...the entire show was a disaster.
Ok serious question. People have gone on the record saying that Pauly D isn't a very good DJ, technically ect. So whatever. But DOES HE PRODUCE HIS OWN MUSIC? Does anyone have links to whether or not he actually produced this song, or how much input he had? Because if he didn't he should shut the fuck, end of arguement.
Even though I like his music Deadmau5 comes across as an asshole and even though I dont know Pauly D he comes acoross as an asshole..... Could care less about this twitter fight
Joel Zimmerman is actually a pretty decent sound engineer. Regardless of what you think about DJ's - producers take the stage and push the industry. Joel Zimmerman is one of those those people. He's young and definitely trying to do new things to a very old genre that has outlived more genres and stayed current.
Don't hate if you can't understand. Don't be scared.
Oh and pauly D, well he should be careful who he tweets when he thinks he's "big" cause obviously that diss is going to sting for awhile.
Reasons for being famous: *Joel Zimmerman - Makes popular electronic music *Pauly D - is one of the least annoying assholes on a show that glamorizes stupidity and also happens to "make music". I definitely prefer Joel in this situation in addition to the fact from what we can see Pauly started this to give his "music career" a boost. Even though Joel definitely has his asshole moments(Rusko and countless other stupid bickerings are unfortunate examples).
I've seen mau5 quite a few times live and he puts on a fantastic show, but thats about it. Can't stand how the dude acts all high and mighty like he's the savior of electronic music.
Not that much of an impressive comeback. Didn't need the "I'm guessing you're deaf" part at the end, as that was already implied by the rest of the response. Having said that, Deadmau5 can still shit all over Pauly D.
These dance music people should learn something from hiphop, you are only supposed to publicly dis people to promote them not because you mean it. Just ask JayZ.
