If Aphex Twin came to your studio....

If Aphex Twin came to your studio and slapped you across the face yelling "All your music fucking sucks!", would you take his word for it?

(ie, is he over rated or is he the genius we deserve?)

id kick him in the face.

I'd tell him to go back to pelvic thrusting an umbrella and using his face to make tracks.

...Because doing that is awesome.

No. Everybody likes different things and I know people who think his work sucks, so...

I don't think he's over rated, just personally never really liked his tracks. But that's just taste, he for sure is a great producer.

If God came to your studio and slapped you across the face yelling "All your music fucking sucks!", would you take his word for it?

I think he's somewhat overrated, but I'd take his word as he's still a much better musician than I could dream of being. I'd then sell all the equipment in my new-found studio.

You'd really give up a hobby you love because something someone said?

I would listen to him because I think he is a fantastic producer, although not all his works appeal to me. But I would then slap him across the face, say 'everyone has different fucking tastes', kick him out of my studio and continue to make my music.

Firstly, I don't see how agreeing that my music sucks = giving up a hobby. Secondly, I don't consider producing to be a hobby, just something I've played around with and suck at. Thirdly, I'm obviously being facetious about owning a studio.

If a stranger (essentially) came into my pad and slapped me in the face, I'd probably flip out and knee him in the junk.

Then, while he was doubled over in pain, I'd straddle his chest and start enthusiastically licking his face. I'd then record the moist, undulous sounds of my furious licking coupled with his subsequent groans of pain, confusion, and terror. Next, I'd take the recording, split it up into 3 second samples, loop it with a kick drum, add some sweet flanger and reverb effects, and name the resulting track Facelicker. I'd record it again in reverse for a B-side called Ballkicker. Shit would be tight.

If someone came to my house and slapped me on the face, I'd throw them out immediately, even if it were Oliver Lieb.

But if the dude would be nonviolent and tell meh that my productions suck ass, I'd tell him he's sadly mistaken as I've never produced anything in my life.

Imagine Richard D. James, L-Vee, Oliver Lieb and Thomas Banghaltar all came to your house, slapped you and yelled "Your music fucking sucks"

No, it really isn't.

This guy is so good. If he came to my house and slapped me in the face, I'd lick his sandals and beg for forgiveness.
