Some people might be oblivious to the fact that these threads lead users into checking out your music and possibly buying a track or two. Personally, I'd like to hear some more stuff like 'Fifths', 'Finished Symphony', 'Everything Before' and 'HR 8938'. Ace tracks! If you were to produce more tracks like this, or spin some sets with more 'meaningful' tunes, you'll probably appeal more to this type of crowd. Maybe get some remixes going on with producers that are respected in the underground scene.

wasnt complaining about my finances. it was a breakdown of how it goes around here. people asked, i answered. who the fucks complaining? can any of you read? If its complaints you're after read pages 1-13 of this thread.

i just sit here and work away on all sorts of fun projects, and when im done those, i sit back and take enjoyment from putting a smile on someones face, or a tune in their head. Dont think for a second "isnt cool like..." or "sucks because" actually contributes to anything other than making yourself look like a complete fuckin idiot who lacks the means to do it the way they see fit.

and whats the deal with all this "scene" shit? fuck "the scene" dude. What the fuck is "the scene" anyway? this shit? can someone clear this up for me? because all i get is, "the scene" is a buncha forum kids, each claiming to know more about EDM, the music business, and everything else in life, than the next.

if ive learned one awesome fucking thing in a short time in my little rollercoaster ride is that when im doing my thing up there in front of a fuckton of people... im not looking at a fuckin "scene". Im looking at a buncha normal, decent people all sharing a positive experience listening to music and being part of the whole, DESPITE their own personal tastes or opinions on electronic music.

and of course everyones entitled to have their own tastes, i wont deny anyone of that... thats what mixes shit up thank god, otherwise we'd all still be listening to House Nation.

so if im not part of "your personal scene" then why the need to dredge my posts, articles, or anything else for that matter and regurgitate it back into this shit like it actually does anything positive for anyone?

TA is nothing near the representation of eventgoers, local or abroad, who enjoy music and good times, its just another scene im not a part of, im just here because the weight of the stupidity in here obviously has some sort of gravitational pull, and i do like to defend a claim or two when given the opportunnity.

Take the bad mouthing that you get as a celebrity with the fact that you're a successful celebrity....

It's your attitude that makes people turn on you...

You want to be a diva, ppl are gonna talk shit...

You should've kept your mouth shut and just laughed at members complaints...

Btw it's Thursday...

Time to take a money bath...

That's bullshit and you know it. Joel used to come on here and was quite plesant before the success. As his success grew so did the amount of trash talking on here. The EDM world is just like the punk world and any other sub-culture in that it supports people up until the point that the wider world starts to take notice of them then the "real" fans turn on them. Why? Because we all like to think of ourselves as special and "underground" so the second someone hits mainstream success it's no longer special to know them since everyone does. It happens in every genre of music that isn't pop. Joel could come on here being the most humble and conciliatory poster to ever grace these boards and he'd still get ripped. It's what we do... it's what we're all about.

No Craig, not really..

Sure what you said is true in part but I personally know quite a few ppl who were fans and supporters until they actually stood in front of mr mouse and were not given the time of day...

If I'm a celeb, and I'm standing in public, and a fan comes up to me, you're damn skippy that I'll at least put my bb away and listen to them for 30 seconds...

If I don't want to deal with the public, I'll find somewhere to get away...

And then there was the whole anti DJ thing...

Deadmou5 may be a good producer and showman, but Joel Zimmerman is just not a nice guy. And a lot of people just don't differentiate...

I've always said that I was happy that a local was making it big. I've even gone as far as to say that I enjoyed watching him work. I just wish he wasn't such a dick...

i think people bash him on here because they want to be cool. doesn't make them cool tho. makes them look bitter and jealous.

also the funny thing is, i would say close to half the people on TA are social inept because they sit behind a screen and do not know how to interact with real people in real situations.

really? cuz i don't like people coming and talking to me when i am on my blackberry. can't you see i am busy or trying to avoid talking? would you interrupt someone if they were actually talking on the phone?

also, i can imagine, 30 seconds always turns to 30 minutes especially in a club. so imagine how awesome it is when you have hundreds of saucer size pupil people trying to talk to you. frig, i'd be on my blackberry too.

I think you missed my point... the flaming of him started before his colourful (to be charitable) responses. Ripping him a new asshole on these boards has less to do with him as a person then him as a success. It's a pretty well established pattern. If someone wants to flame him because he doesn't sufficiently ingratiating himself to his fans that's fine; however, most of what I see are flame posts seemingly born out of our pathalogical need to tear down anyone from our special little underground that gets any measure of mainstream success. It wouldn't matter if Joel gave a blow-job and potted plant to everyone on TA, we'd still hate on him.


(yeah, I don't know why a potted plant either)
