Yeah, can't imagine how stressful it must be to press play.

Don't forget he does fist pumps during shows too!!!

I don't exactly think he's a great artist, but his music is definitely fun to listen to and I admit I can enjoy it quite a bit. If I want electronic music to actually dazzle me, I look to other artists.

Slowly but surely falling in love with Skrillex, I watched a live set on youtube and he was dynamite! I think I appreciate his music more because I'm moving away from trance again to some more stuff like Fake Blood.

Yes Ki, all he does is press play. I would like to see you cope under those minor stresses of single handedly creating a whole electronica album.

NAAAAAAAY.

I'm sorry but as popular and as much of a fan-base this dude has, I can't stand his music.

It is for some people, I can totally agree. I never used to like his stuff but I'm slowly getting there.

Meh. I went through a period of liking some of his tracks but don't think he's done anything that impressive.

I think his stuff is impressive because I hold him on the same platform as Boys Noize, Fake Blood and the like. I don't know about how good he is at 'mixing' but it is undeniable that he is a damn good producer.

My problem with him is that he's not really a musician to me but an entertainer. Surely he delivers an energetic show with lots of lightshows and all, but so does Radiohead (and Radiohead makes good music). Skrillex' music just doesn't work for me, and his general audience isn't really helping. (Anybody who knows these Call of Duty-montages with Skrillex music on Youtube knows what I'm talking about)

How can he be a ****ing entertainer if he PRODUCES everything on his own. Is there something I'm not grasping here? I mean I don't even like the guy that much but c'mon man.
