Shit I've seen bassnectar at least 7 times, $50 is still a lot for a dj IMO. usually a 2hr set with shitty opening djs

...meanwhile eoto, playing real live instruments mind you, sell their tickets around $15/$20 and have been for at least the last 3 years

just because you play instruments on stage doesn't make you more talented than someone who uses electronic equipment...it takes just as much know-how to do what bassnectar does, if not more.

lemme do what the kids do nowadays.

bassnectar > grateful dead

i chose the dead because they never used simplistic dj type tools. all they played were pure instruments with years of talent and improvisation beyond what most bands have ever done for the longest time, good choice eh? Only time they busted out something close was only during "drums" and the electronics were used as accents. Oh yea and almost everybody dislikes that portion of the show.

go to your show brah, im sure youll have fun. pretty much what all the haters including myself having been trying to get at is........

have fun but seriously, find a better music genre because its crap in every sense of the word.


as for eoto, they used to be dope back in the day, same with tribe. problem is, both bands went to focus their flow on the masses resulting in shitty 1-2 note bass riffs which flood out every other instrument and prevent any kind of cohesive playing which would result in a jam. they are simply trying to latch onto the dubstep following due to its numbers. pretty damn sad in my opinion and thats why all the REAL heads are salty.

So what you said is --> Bands with instruments > producers/djs per se.  Seems kinda closed minded brah.

I am confident that there is not a single dubstep dj that requires the same precision and talent as a jam band.

so now youre closer to my side All We Perceive?

thats what i was trying to get at with the dead, shoulda just used any band but i was ripped and didnt put too much thought into my argument because it thought it spoke for itself. i aint hatin on nobody, just the music.

Sorry but no.  If a producer plays LIVE like lazer sword I could see it but thats almost never the case.  Most of the newer producers are subpar djs --. Especially in dubstep.  Not only do instrumentalists have to write the music but they have to play the entirety perfect every show and communicate so everyone is on the same page during improv jams.  I'm a huge edm fan but to posit that any dj is as competent as the best jam bands is ridiculous besides insanely good techical djs like Carl cox.  I am confident that there is not a single dubstep dj that requires the same precision and talent as a jam band.  Sorry.
