Troutman = Win Butler?
Deadmau5 Replies to Arcade Fire's Anti-EDM Jab: 'What's Your Problem?'
During Arcade Fire's Coachella's headlining set on the fest's first weekend, frontman Win Butler made a remark that has rankled Deadmau5. "Shout out to all the bands still playing actual instruments at this festival," he said. Now the DJ has fired back at Butler with a series of tweets.
"#### to remember: A computer is a tool, not an instrument," he wrote. "Arcade Fire needs to settle down. Some dudes devote their lives to instruments, others to electronic composition by CPU, dafuqs yer problem?"
He also offered up an example to show the difference between rock and electronic music. "I don't expect to see Daft Punk pull a Steve Vai onstage," he wrote. "I expect to listen to some decent music, 'n' see cool robots. No problem. If I wanna watch real artists perform, I'd pick the opera before wasting a ####ing minute of my life with Arcade Fire. #doyouevenscorebro?"
Also, here is Above & Beyond, mentioned by Polak, showing they are unskilled musicians who are only able to create music by computer:
