    This guy singlehandedly, in the span of a weekend, made me want to buy like $3,000 worth of EDM/MIDI equipment. Freaking Robert DeGod

    An electronic musician who actually does something besides hit play when performing live, brilliant. This is one of the most amazing performances I've ever seen, totally mind-boggling.

      If you are talking performance wise, I have to disagree and say it depends. Some musicians can drain dozens of hours into making their music perfect. And they might not be able to exactly perform dozens of hours of work into a single 5 minute song like some people are lucky enough to do.

      Tristan Saunders You have to disagree that this is one of the most amazing performances HE has seen? How can you disagree with that without knowing every single performance he has seen?

      +grumfeld van der spooijwanker he's disagreeing with the statement that a lot of electronic musicians only hit play

    Well alright, then. I'm an old dog (56), and I've played with great bands, toured; I thought I'd seen it all. This guy is AMAZING.

    The term "genius" is thrown around a lot these days, but this guy is a hell of a musician.

  • @MisterF_1984
    @MisterF_1984 10 лет назад +43

    While some of his songwriting isn't the best, his performance style, incorporating technology and musicianship, is the way in which music will be taken to the next level over the next 50 years.

    • @lunaisnotcool8424
      @lunaisnotcool8424 9 лет назад +5

      Man his lyrics are so moving! Thought provoking.... In fact I like his lyrics so much I am going to get 'be not afraid it's just a game' tattooed on my ribs

      are you daft?! i know you wrote this comment 3 years ago, but i felt inclined to mention how moronic your comment is. songwriting isn't the best? he played the melody of the song on a fxxkin xbox controller you turd

      these lyrics have meaning to certain people. a deep and powerful meaning. just because you don’t understand them or you can’t relate to them doesn’t mean they’re bad. this person wants to get a tattoo of his lyrics and probably has honestly gotten it already, because they found meaning in it. it’s their decision.

    Saw him live yesterday. Fuckin' awesome. I'm guessing DeLong is a gamer as he uses a PC joystick, a gaming steering wheel, Wii-Mote & a gamepad in his music mixes.
