Nassir, you need to listen to more music if you honestly believe this.

Oh yes he would just press play. A man who charges bujillions of dollars for a single show can't fuck it up, so he lays out 98% of everything in advance. That way it's flawless. Mindless punters don't care about how difficult a performance is (there is no respect for virtousity when they're stoned out of their brains). They're more interested in big showy builds and the intricate perfection of the song structure and how it makes them mentally ejaculate when they drug themselves retarded.
Unlike Sasha, who spends his time perfecting his set(s) (and his setup) down to the last detail beforehand, I spend most of my time PRACTICING my instrument - live and midi controllers. I don't want to sound arrogant, but Sasha is eating my fucking dust when it comes to being on the cutting edge of music...
And I'm nodoby special. He's eating the dust of kids in their bedrooms all across the world. There are dudes who are WAAAAY out there ahead of me that I can't even concieve of.
I sit down to work with a mostly empty pallate on stage and then create on the fly. That screenshot doesn't look like Sasha does that.
My point is that Sasha is so careful, so tame, so mainstream that he pisses skim milk and shits white bread.
