I had the unfortunate displeasure of dealing with this guy one night. He is a complete arrogant prick.

As you can see by my join date, I've been in the music business for a while (active since 1995) and deadmau5 is THE worst person I've ever had to deal with in my entire career.

Due to his lack of knowledge about equipment, he threatened to kick the opening dj's ass., literally. This guy was so high on himself I would have sworn he thought he was god himself.

I'm a calm, laid back and passive person. And for the first time in my career, I actually felt like hitting someone.

NEVER EVER book this guy. And if you are playing a show with him, do not show him any respect whatsoever.

deadmau's agent will not allow anything more than 126 bpm played before he takes the stage. another totally daft rule.

Suck. Suck. and Suck.

Do they want you, or not?

Sad to see such insecurity... What an attitude!

I can understand wanting to program a night properly, ie don't put a psytrance act on before a downbeat one, but the attitude stinks! You should be able to get your heads together so you can bring the party, and then bring it to an appropriate level to go into the headliner.

Be careful how you treat people on the way up, Deadrat, cos that's who you'll meet on the way down.

mmm... thought about bidding on the next EvolverKeyboard coming up on ebay...
but ...fuck... a used ....CDJ... signed by dangermouth himself....
at a starting bid of only 1500$?!
I'm having second thoughts... it's a Steal....

being a studio/PA engineer you meet a lot of Ego trippin' douch types...
and having to cater to them professionally and with a smile...and it's part of the job...
and that's ok I guess...(cuz you're getting paid for that)
but this guy is absurd...telling a fellow artist what he can use... fuck that

His little mouse cipher on the side of the cdj there does look suspiciously like the good old toilet wall 'squirty cock'n'balls', just needs the hairy bollocks.
Appropriate for someone who disrespects their peers like that. Good on you for outing this crap.

Who the fuck is deadmau5 anyways?

Anyways, yeah, it sounds like a crock but then again, you entered a contest to play with the guy. Be gald they aren't making you wear his logo shirt when you play...

(or reading this forum)
