......and it worked. You guys fell for the whole stunt. You gave it attention. Good job.

Same, can't believe anyone made something so bad.

You don't recognize it?

yeah but most normal people will forget about it tomorrow.

This is true. I had no idea what a VITA or the Dead Mouse was until this thread.

 

[Lord Error]

Yoshida's comment was the best part of the whole ordeal. He's a man who's funny without trying too hard to be funny.

Ha ha, I love how someone playing records is "famous". Add to that a silly kids name which to me is deadmau 5 as though he was the 5th idiot.

 

[Fusebox]

But he doesn't play re...

Bah, never mind.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Someone give me a link to what you think is Deadmau5's best song. I want to hear how good this guy is.

This is his best IMO :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJXj-qcfJWI
Strobe.

That's his best?

FML is still one of my faves but if you're the kind of person who's managed to go this long without ever hearing a Deadmau5 song I don't expect you'd enjoy it anyway:

Why am I not surprised a 4chan /mu/ poster would post something this unfunny.

At least I like it the most. Credits to FML and Ghosts N Stuff.

I first heard of him when he was the DJ at the MTV VMAs a year or two ago. He was the only decent thing about that night, but I never followed up on his work.

 

[fernoca]

Still love him and his music, so awesome. XD

 

[Mohonky]

http://www.inthemix.com.au/news/aust/49953/Brisbane_DJ_punches_Deadmau5

He's popular on Australia's biggest dance music forum.

 

[def sim]

dude is also kind of a jerk in general iirc but he still makes good music so whatevs

 

[mescalineeyes]

Oh, deadmau5, you're so random.

As for his best song:
Morgan Page ft. Lissie - The Longest Road (deadmau5 remix)

 

[Togglesworlh]

someone playing records

And thus your ignorance shines through.

 

[Evoga]

And thus your ignorance shines through.

It said in the OP he was a DJ which stands for disc jockey. Someone who plays records, hardly brain science as anyone can do it. I prefer Howard Stern or O&A as my DJ.

 

[FStop7]

Ha ha, I love how someone playing records is "famous". Add to that a silly kids name which to me is deadmau 5 as though he was the 5th idiot.

In fairness he does a lot more than just mix, he creates/produces quite a lot of music.

Joke reply?

 

[Poimandres]

when deadmaufive last played in my City, a local DJ punched him in the face. This fills me with pride.

 

[Castor Krieg]

No offense to the OP but what a horrible article... A disc jockey wants some attention and behaves like that of a 7 year old child... More jaw dropping news @ 7:00.

Ehem....

That's his best?

You expect anything else from modern disco than looping and autotunes?

 

[Sickboy007]

I think Deadmau5's official photographer/buddy posts here on GAF.

 

[MarkMclovin]

Fixed that up.


His remixes are great though.

 

[Grampasso]

So he really wanted to be sure we know he's an idiot?

 

[BoobPhysics101]

This guy is a fucking idiot. Typical of what happens when you separate the 'artist' from the 'art' - not that his shit is art, more like overblown hyped electronic garbage.

 

[TUROK]

"Trolololol"? Jesus Goddamn Christ, I knew this fuckhead was a total tool.

 

[BoobPhysics101]

Truth. I bet his retard fanbase ate it up too. 'MAN HE's SO FUNNY. SO CLEVER. DAMN YO, DEADMAU5 IS THE MAN!!! LOL BEST DJ OF ALL TIME BRO!!!!!!!'

 

[Dirtie]

Don't like the guy at all, he really is a jerk (a pale weedy one at that), and this stunt just kinda confirms it again. Although a lot of his tracks (especially his more recent ones) sound like garbage noise to me, his better stuff (which is unfortunately few and far between) is pretty awesome. I understand it's not gonna be everybody's cup of tea, but it's the type of music you just can just kinda chill out to or kinda get lost in, that type of progressive house is really a sensory thing much like proper trance. It's good background music when you're doing other things too (online games, browsing, etc) because it's unassuming/not up in your face.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vqt8X1jRrg4

you gotta admit the whole mousehead thing is pretty iconic too, it was a smart move coming up with that (even if it's not entirely original)

 

[mescalineeyes]

You expect anything else from modern disco than looping and autotunes?

I don't think we can fault the modern tools at use here for the lack of good contemporary songwriting.

Also, where in the world did you find any autotune in Strobe? Old Man yelling at Cloud much?

You're so angry! Cheer up!

Another hoax?

Deadmaus dead?

[Opus Angelorum]

It wouldn't surprise me is Sony has paid him to 'stealth advertise' the PSVita.

 

[gdt]

To me, his last album (4x4=12) was his best one. I really like his more amped up stuff.

Though Strobe might be his best song, it's classic.

Edit: A City in Florida and Chutlu Sleeps are up there too. Really, really awesome stuff.

Based on a brief Wiki page edit that has since been deleted...

don't insult disco

lol, the article uses Wiki as a source, when it was probably some sony fanboy who said he was dead.

 

[Danielsan]

This is his best IMO :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJXj-qcfJWI
Strobe.

Never really bothered to listen to Deadmau5. Not my genre and his popularity always seemed questionable to me. This Strobe track is pretty cool though.

 

[tass0]

http://youtu.be/QV8eiSA4vqc

25 million views on one video, DJs all over Europe, gets paid by Spike to DJ at VGAs.

I'd that qualifies as "famous".

 

[panty]

Danger wipes the floor with this prick.

Also some of you believe Sony was behind this? Smh.

 

[radioheadrule83]

He got Miyamoto's signature tattoo'd onto his arm after the VGAs apparently

[POWERSPHERE]

what a jerk. who has cool music.

👎 wrong

 

[shuri]

Can he really mix at live shows with that mouse head on or does he just pretend to?

I believe he uses ableton; which can be hilariously automated to death. It's just a matter of pressing buttons at the right time and every thing is synced perfectly

 

[Broder Salsa]

I don't care for him or what he does but that was pretty funny.

 

[Damon Bennet]

Still love him and his music, so awesome. XD

so what about his music or the fact that you like it is funny? and why XD
XD XD XD
XD XD DDDDD

XD XD XD XD

Since :lol is gone this travesty of an emoticon is slowly taking over gaf. i hate it with a passion. makes everyone look 13
