anyways.... i dont really see the point of having skrillex on gdtv... yes i can understand wanting to get more exposure, but in saying that it would make more sense to have MT Eden on there tbh (not that i like them, but atleast they can put a set together)
so you prefer bullshit to dogshit?

Bon Jovi are terrible. So fucking terrible. The only people who think they're awesome are kind of weird looking drunk white girls who love singing along to living on a prayer.

Whatever we all think about Bon Jovi, I think we can all agree that they're better than Skrillex.

i prefer neither...

what im getting at is, if this is purely for exposure, would it not make more sense for the 'producers' who have 70 million views on the tube to be getting on there, as opposed to getting the most overly hyped twat...

i dunno, all this thinking about shit music is giving me a headache

Yeah better than Skrillex

But Aerosmith were better than Bon Jovi (back in the day, not all that crap like don't want to miss a thing, pink, etc.)

Dunno why I always compare those two. But nevermind.

Does anyone think this could actually damage Getdarker? By being the middle it could mean that both sides are not completely happy with it and hence choose to go to other sites that cater better for their needs?

never really gave GD too much time. watched the videocasts when people i know have been on, or there's been nothing else going on in my life for the night.

suppose they are a business after all, its all good keeping the chin strokers happy for a few years but eventually you want to get paid! appealling to the masses is a good way and skrillex certainly seems to appeal to the masses.

as someone who's not really too into gd i would say that it makes me less likely to go back to it. though at least they havent got him on to do a mix!

To be fair, GetDarker have the whole Dubstep TV thing on lock-down. I dunno if anybody is in a position to rival them yet.
Also, they've had loads of shit people on there already. Skrillex will just be another one.

Guarunteed to get skrillex on there very soon. Saw that he is touring UK soon enough so its the logical thing for GDTV to do. Promote an exlcusive song 'for him' and then when he comes to london pull him into the studios to play on GDTV and pull in a million bros.

I would rather see a recording of the chatroom than him playing to be honest going to be bare hate going down bet he doesn't look up at the screen after he sees the amount of abuse he will be copping. Going to make the modestep set seem like disneyland

You speak the truth, it's just that...nothing about Skrillex is "Dark." Except maybe the overtones of pedophilia in this ridiculous music video. :corncry:

when is the skrillex remix of bon jovi dropping on swamp81? I heard it's all done on an 808 and acoustic 12 string.

They've always been pretty much all over the spectrum and if having some Skrillex on the front page means that just one in 100 bro fans find, and like, some of the good stuff I would see that as a success.

So it's a good thing, as it's directing viewers who are there because of Skrillex onto some alternative sounds, that they may not have usually listened to?
This. I admittedly started off on the cheesier (albeit darker) sounds, however related youtube vids and a couple blogs led me into things like pinch, loefah, burial, l-wiz, d1, silkie, etc. etc. and here I am now blasting garage and deep house in my car spinning future garage at home on the daily, all on physical. Eternally grateful for that and will always appreciate that sound for what it is. Had I not eaten up datsik, excision, vaski, sukh knight, cookie monsta, etc. I would never have heard of bonobo, El-B, Untold, Mount Kimbie, Julio Bashmore, jack sparrow, falty dl, the list goes on and on. It's a bit disheartening when people assume that because you like skrillex means you can't appreciate something with more depth, and vice-versa.
exactly. just because someone loves rape, doesn't mean they can't appreciate romance.
yea this :lol:

gotta say it was the same route for me tho...rottun recs---->rinse fm clips on youtube
