[Sobriquet]

No, but a friend did. To be fair, this was before he was famous.

Also deadmou5 is good people.

He can be. Sometimes.

 

[Fenderputty]

..that's a bit excessive, don't you think?

He should of left out the "talentless" part.

Gotye = GOAT YAY

 

[Extra Sauce]

not as good as a skillrex

They're both awful and I say that as a fan of electronic music.

 

[Horse Detective]

Right, at the risk of being flamed myself... what's with all the Deadmau5 hate up in here?

I gave birth to this thread to discuss names, but it appears that I have been handed something entirely different.

What have you done, GAF.

A half-decent detective would have seen this coming.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Ha, never had that particular problem as i heard about him by word of mouth.

I find most of his albums to be rather drab with some spurts of genius that i think you to have an ear for. However, i had a chance to see him live and it was mind-numbingly awesome. Like, different level cool. If you're still a naysayer after seeing one of his shows, only then do I count your negativity toward deadmau5 valid.

See. Him. Live.

You need to be more aware of your surroundings.

welcome to parenthood

 

[billy beane]

I used to pronounce The Notorious B.I.G. "The Notorious Big".

 

[wenis]

No, because I am young and awesome.

 

[Kyzon]

I checked his wiki when I first heard about him so no...

This thread is lacking 8bit music.

Spoiler

I wish I had his moneysynths

If he did a bunch of classic game music, I'd be a fan.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

If he did a bunch of classic game music, I'd be a fan.

On his last tour he did tons of classic game themed stuff at the show, at least visually. It was bananas. I think he uses sound bites from them sometimes too.

Damn, this is wrong?

That sounds like the business! I'll have to check it out.

 

[dhonk]

Man, people sure dont remember leetspeek do they?

 

[Nafai1123]

I'm surprised a games forum has so much hatred for someone that loves games so much.

 

[Grakl]

Man, people sure dont remember leetspeek do they?

I speak leet.

Gotye = GOAT YAY

That's pretty much what it is

Go T Yay

 

[Sobriquet]

Not quite.

 

[i-Lo]

Of course.

 

[Nuklear]

Why do people call him talentless? I like a "Album Title Goes Here" a lot and have no problems with it. I'm new to his music though so I don't get the hater syndrome he gets.

His music isn't any worse than this gem: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ktvTqknDobU

 

[Darryl]

i still call it deadmau five even though i now know better

 

[Nuklear]

I've called him Deadmaus.

 

[subrock]

I used to say The Deadmau Five as if it took a quintet to make his horrible boring music, but I never actually had a problem reading the leet speak, no.

 

[Chie Satonaka]

I was listening to my local classic rock station maybe three months ago, and they were promoting a show with him there.

And he said Deadmau Five.

And I laughed.

 

[Eidan]

No. Never.

 

[Village]

I did.

Deadmau5 sucks anyway.

This

are you just trolling or are you seriously using Imagine Dragons as a bar for quality music

 

[Dice]

I always think of this guy

 

[gdt]

I can't believe I'm gonna sit here and defend Deadmau5 but here we go

Strobe

There Might Be Coffee

Stereo Fidelity

 

[injurai]

I never had to pronounce it because none of my friends are 16 year olds and as such never listen to him.

oh, so your friends are neogaf

 

[Quackula]

Wait you mean that's not how its supposed to be pronounced?

 

[freshair]

Not quite.

I know. I meant it in a way as how I thought it was pronounced before hearing the actual way.

 

[Ominym]

Nah I didn't, but that's probably because I'm on the younger side of things.

Also, I guess I'm in the minority, but I like his music. Is he a douche? Absolutely. But like many musicians I follow, I don't pay attention to their personality.

 

[Sobriquet]

I know. I meant it in a way as how I thought it was pronounced before hearing the actual way.

Ah, gotcha.

 

[Lamel]

shit.

Skillrex

lmao..

 

[thesuperfunk]

Can't abide his music but his production skills rock.

 

[ThanksVision]

why would I every say this dude's name

 

[sixteen-bit]

so it's a "1337"-style S?

 

[Shortt Sirket]

Better question, how do you pronounce "Da5id?"

 

[beato_angelico]

He should of left out the "talentless" part.

if he has some talent he hides it pretty well.

 

[TheExodu5]

People always call me The Exodu Five.

 

[TheBahaBlast]

I know it's Deadmouse but chalk me up to Deadmau five because I like to be facetious concerning leet speak. But now I know people actually never knew leet speak and this makes me sad.

 

[jstripes]

No, I was on the internet in 1999.

Memories of IRC, and people who would type in nothing but leetspeak.

I know it's Deadmouse but chalk me up to Deadmau five because I like to be facetious concerning leet speak. But now I know people actually never knew leet speak and this makes me sad.

It's funny how it came and went.

 

[dewdrop]

I always call him that. Makes me feel like I'm stickin' it to him.

Also some kid from my school performs/DJs/whatever as 3lau ("blau") and I always call him thr'lau.

 

[ZeroRay]

I do it intentionally.

.

 

[Dyno]

He's performing this weekend at the Veld Festival at Downsview Park (Toronto).

He wears a giant mouse head. That's when I knew it was pronounced 'Deadmouse.'

 

[corn_fest]

Haha, I always do this, much to the chagrin of my friends who are fans of his.
I had no idea it was a such a common thing.

 

[NinjaFridge]

Dead-mau-5 sounds better than Deadmouse.
