  1. Damn. I don’t follow this dude, but does he have a pattern of behavior like this?

    To pass out drunk during a set at a fest like Coachella has to be a real as fuck wake up call.

    How embarrassing.

  2. Maybe we will see Deadmau5 over in r/stopdrinking

    Hope he takes a beat and gets some help

  4. I hope grimes features a pic of him drunk during her next DJ set as revenge

  5. He pulled this same dismissive shit at a Bonnaroo I went to about 10 years ago, sat on a couch on stage while the music played.

    I missed Flying Lotus to go see him, disliked him ever since.

  7. My last drink was almost 10 years ago. I wish him the best on the next phase of his journey. I hope he makes it there

  8. Always seemed like a really cool guy. Loved his stuff in DJ Hero . Hopping he can  beat tge demons in thr bottle.!

  11. Ain’t he the guy who’s always holier than thou about drug use amongst other musicians?

  12. It’s EDM. He can be blackout drunk and the set wouldn’t change one bit minus a little less pretend DJing. I don’t see the problem.

  13. I saw him in 2008? 2009? At Stubbs in Austin. He mixed keyboard cat into his set, along with some live mixing of some legend of Zelda songs. Honestly one of the best shows I’ve been too because it was so small and intimate. Amazing DJ when he has his shit together.

    I hope he can find some peace.

  14. Saw him in Nashville about a month ago. Was complete ass. Gave no effort

  15. Good thing those acts don’t need to even be there for their sets.

  16. Sorry, but that’s massively disrespectful of the fans who came to see him. I hope he gets real help that sticks with him. That is not a healthy behavior.

  17. Just put the mouse helmet on someone else and press play dude.

  19. It might be time for him to go hang out with Elton John, Robert Downey Jr., and their mutual friend Bill.

  21. Got blackout drunk on a paid gig, but hey at least he didn’t have a cig. Great.

  22. I thought he got sober after puking in his helmet and passing out

  23. I hope bro gets help. Amateur musician here who used to struggle with alcohol big time and has embarrassed himself on stage.

  26. Dang. Never cared about this guy’s work. Not my taste. But if blacking out drunk on set doesn’t say “washed up”, i dunno whats does
