Skream & Benga live.. Worth it?

[avoidpi]

Is it worth seeing Skream & Benga live nowadays? I was thinking I should just go because it's probably the closest thing to Dubstep I'm going to get in Canada (brostep infested man, it's crazy up here). I just don't want to hear Skrillex being dropped, it's going to kill me if I see Skream do that to me. :/

this will prob be locked, but yeah he plays brostep

I'll let you know tomorrow....goin to see them and Joker, really goin for the purple god

[Bloodstream]

i can only say: dont miss both

[avoidpi]

Distance might actually be coming soon so I guess I have that to look forward to! =D

mhm... i didn't enjoy their show tbh.
ad i will never go again to see them - unless they play very different.

i wish back the early dubplates of skream. deep dark and minimalistic... used to be...

Just out of interest, what sort of stuff does Benga play now?
Last time i heard him he was playing some sort of techno sounding tunes

[NickUndercover]

Last time I went to see Skream it was shit. Inb4 lock


Edit: it WAS a big show and a brocrowd though

Skream
Chicago was SICK! They actually danced to tracks with just a sub! lol
'Left Leg Out" by Mala sounded sick! So did 'Infidel' by Actraiser... Massive shouts everyone who was at the Mid!

?!?!

[stranger_sounds]

i think it depends on the night/venue/crowd

last time i saw skream and benga they did play atleast one skrillex song that i remember

[scattybeanhead]

i've seen them 3 times in the last year, once they were shite and played broey shit/skrillex etc - but that was glasto.

the other two times were sick. some of it a bit more tearout than you might like but still an awesome show, great night, great vibes etc.

however if the promoters generally put on excision/filth crap for their other then chances are you'll probably hate it - catering to the crowd and that

these threads are full of attitude for no fucking reason. go to youtube, and type in " skream benga live " . there's probably 250 live videos that give you your answer, faster than some hype thread title. we wouldn't be here discussing anything without skream.

[belalala]

no arguing about how formative skream's work has been in the history of dubstep, but OP's question was asking about what kind of set you might expect to see from him & benga in north america, 2011. also a new member of the board so perhaps he isn't as versed in these kinds of threads that have already popped up.

ANYWAY- i'd say go. you may very well hear skrillex get dropped but, as you mentioned, the number of UK dubstep artists touring north america is fairly limited and the worst that will happen is you'll have seen them but been disappointed. at best you'll come away realizing chatting shit on dubstepforum means nothing and they still slammed their set with tunes like the ones mentioned above

whether or not that is the case i really didnt enjoy their set at DMZ (and it was not just me who thought that), obviously he's a legend in the scene and has put out some game-changing tunes that i still love. i just didnt enjoy his set at DMZ, OP asked for opinions and i gave mine, i fail to see why this is so problematic, this is a discussion board after all

I Just Called (To Say I Love You) is a fucking shit song.

Do I disregard all of Stevie Wonder's back catalogue and called him a blind cunt? Of course not.

Doesn't stop me thinking that's a shit song though.
