David guetta presenting some brand new records in 1992

For those that don't recognise him, he is the dumbass with the charles chaplin hat

​

 

See I won't have that problem because I've always been cool.

I've got one too, Trent Reznor of Nine Inch Nails:

PS the David Guetta video made me want to bludgeon something. *yes*

David Guetta is as much of a talentless hack now as he was then.

 

So... people still find time to dig, post, ridicule and laugh at Guetta? Huhmm, I guess that never gets old.
Meanwhile, Guetta still find time to make another record, play another festival, travel to another country and receive a boat load of cash. I guess that never gets old for him neither.
Well, I sit in a corner watching you laughing at Guetta who's laughing back at you. And that's over 20 years worth of an insane amount of lololololol!!!
Everybody wins!

 

It depends on what you value in life, money is just a tool and I'd rather make quality music and be poor than shell out that crap by the boatload. That's just me, other people can come to their own conclusions. To quote Immortal Technique:

 

if it makes anyone feel better.. his lovely soon to be ex-wife is about to sack his $30,000,000 "fortune".... she took the house the kids the car.....

never heard of him anyway....

 

Catalyst, this is the golden old age argument bro. It is that endless, "going nowhere" debate as to how music should sound. We human in each corner of the world, in each generation past, present and future will have our view, taste and opinion on it.
Bottom line, Immortal Technique's quote doesn't mean nothing, zero to me or anybody who doesn't agree with how he thinks about how music should sound and marketed (and that's while I listen to and like some of Immortal's tracks). On the other end, I could quote somebody I truly feel has the right view on how music should be and put out to the mass, but guess what? It probably wouldn't meant sh*t to you or anybody who have the same mindset as you. It's all about taking sides and believe somehow that my side or your side of how we think of music is best. Well, that's where we all fail and we've been failing since music started to have major influence on society and people as a whole: There's no best or even better! If there were, this post would probably not exist. The million tons of garbage arguments and senseless opinion and fights going under YouTube videos and all over Social Media wouldn't exist. The way an artist choose to go about it in terms of what they play, which genre they stick themselves to are also not a "Produce this type of music or DIE" situation neither. Money or not, an artist do what they feel more comfortable and like best.

An artist create a lane or jump on a lane that is already there and fit is M.O. and it's DONE!!! Everything else doesn't matter. The artist stay focus on what HE considers good music and develop a followers base. Be that followers base is 200, 2,000 or 2 million people, theses are people that the artist can go and play for, feel good with, enjoy great time with. Knowing that his music is reaching ears who values him. Obviously be it that once that artist becomes overtly popular then that same music start to reach ears who thinks his music sound like sh*t. OK! not too cool, I got that. However, shall the artist cave in and start to play or produce what the unwanted ears like? Hell no! there's no law, rules or mandatory fines for that. The unwanted can skip, don't support and literally don't hand over a cent to that artist. One can limit their self to Immortal Technique career and choice to stay underground or one can do what Guetta did: Do shitty gigs on TV with a Charlie Chaplin hat lol!. We can all judge and throw a fit. However, at the end of the day, it's all personal career choices. This has nothing to do with Guetta's ability and talent (as you've mentioned) and as many keep mingling the two.

That notion that if I don't like it then it is sh*t simply is not rational.

Who am I, who are we to dictate an artist's choice to reach as far as he can? I mean who are WE?

You can disagree and slam me all the way back to Audioz, so I can actually check on what I came to check before I clicked on this link
but, but, no matter how far you slam me, I'll keep this in mind about what musician, artists and producers do with their music and career, whether we value them or not: They make a CHOICE!

 

Hey calm down about your ridiculous defense of Guetta.

I posted the Guetta's video just for fun but it could have been another artist or even Santa Claus in pants.

Looks like your love for guetta makes you take things too seriously. You have a skin too thin.

 

I guess that I could write a journal as to why I defend artists in general (not necessarily just Guetta) in post where the O.P. supposedly posted it "for fun" but what good would it make? None really because the O.P. would not find it funny that I'm taking the fun away from his post. *yes*
My skin is quite smooth though

 

Here I'll end this argument in a sec: Miley Cyrus. Ahhh so everyone has their limits on that mindset huh?

Unless you feel Miley is contributing to musical culture in which case I gotta go.

It's not just because I don't like it, I can judge it objectively for it's artistic merits. There's many things I don't like but can appreciate. Guetta just isn't one of them.

 

He was already there in 1991

 

Miley is one fraction of a music generation, where she may not be your/my cup of tea. However, my view of her music can't overtake everybody else.
The point is, such debate/argument will start, end, restart, close, put on hold, reopen, without a clear REAL fact of what this or that music should sound like. There were versions of Miley in the 50's, 60's, 70's and so on... No, they didn't know how to twerk or use giant dildos on stage and all that. However, they were these artists that some consider mediocre, bad or was not up to par with the rest (whichever the harsh criticism were). It always have been, is and will be YOUR taste against that other guy taste, the O.P.'s taste, mine and the rest of the world opinion' bags; I mean, not necessarily in that order, but you get the point. *yes*

Fair and understandable. I am in no way saying you should.

At least we keep it civilized

 

money is time not a tool. And you'll be giving up the majority of your time working for someone else to pay for the little time you're not working. And Guetta's current single Dangerous is fine quality and likely better than anything you'll make in your lifetime. A fool mocks those they should learn from. Seems to be a recurring theme with you.

 

It's easy to say that from where we are...

@clamz: Guetta's songs are definitly well produced, but he didn't do it on his own. He works together with the big names out there, and I'm sure they a big reason why his songs are so well produced.

That's pretty funny coming from you directed at me considering you're utilizing two sites I manage that took tons of my time for which I was paid no money.

And I don't see what being well produced has anything to do with anything. You can put a turd in nice shiny packaging but it will still be a turd no matter how many people like it or how much you were paid. I'm sure Miley Cyrus' last track was well produced too, that doesn't make it art.

Why? I've had tons of opportunities in other fields that I've turned down because they weren't in line with my beliefs or what I wanted my life to be about. Shit I even turned down a lucrative job because I already made a commitment here and I intended to follow through. Money will never change that for me. That video is hilarious by the way.

 

So controversy with a Video shared of a well known artist in his retro/older days just because he is who he is.

wtf



Catalyst
found this Reznor Video which is even worse

 

Some people really have a thing for David Guetta apparently. You'd think I said Brian Eno had no talent or something.

 

Fuck him, he's famous!!
