Skrillex: The Making of a Superstar 

Me lol

Haha lol

@Efren Velazquez Ok, that escalated quick

@Efren Velazquez Mozart is stupid

Glow don’t say that about yourself dumbass

with the biebs

maaaan :D

+Aozotra SONG NAME AT THE FIRST PART?????

+Aozotra you don't know what your talking about

+Nathan Groce wow. that's such a thorough argument.

I’m so sorry I had to like the comment. I’m so sorry I changed it from 69

Listen to his band From First To Last. It was his band before he became Skrillex

He is a nice person... his music however... not always on point. Points for zeal though. Impressive for someone that once tried to do vocals...

@@diarykeeper yes music cannot always be perfect. But I hope he continues to try and and master his artform

@John William Bro. They're lyrics. You sound like a 50 year old who thinks song lyrics are gonna influence lil kids to kill people. " I want to kill everybody" Is just a repetitive chant or lyric. Go read the lyrics to "Where are U Now", Would You Ever. The dude even produced a song for Bieber which is basically about creating a generation of children who are generous, brave, and revolutionary.

so true

that name thou haha xD id

fool , he invented dubstep!

You are kidding, right?

+Clash with Dipper Gaming no, do some research en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dubstep

***** IKR

***** well theres already a lot of young dubstep producers like sideproject whos 14

***** that wasn't humor lol

***** We wasn't kidding bruv

He said that right when i read that

We all change man, truth be told i would kill for another song like Scary Monsters to be made by him again but this just isn't 2010 anymore.

@@mediocreatbest_ its a reference to from first to last his emo days

This Is what we call a tragedy...

Come back to me

Come back to me...

But he said he wouldn't be able to do 300 shows a year if he was doing molly

Yea apart from smoking I really don’t think he does drugs. But he knows what kids are doing and what goes on at his shows, but you can’t really control that to some extent.

@@LEEMIEFTinHD I think so too

No EDM without the E!

I always thought Skrillex' music was best enjoyed sober

Braed Can't agree more

He doesn't need to say it cause people who know how it works know how much time, effort and so on it takes to make a tune. Trying to explain someone who can't tell the difference between what a dj and a producer does (this is where the whole "pressing a few buttons to make music") nonsense came from in the first place, cause people don't even know that dj is just mixing songs and not producing music, mixing both of those things or just trying to bait other people with their ignorance and trolling.

Selling ur soul definately helps

Any musician who's been in the studio, or owns their own equipment, would tell you that doing this shit isn't easy. Being a composer isn't easy... But it is very rewarding

I personally believe sound design it's the hardest part of the process of becoming a producer. Finding your style, your sound, not easy...

***** Rob, seriosly man ?

+sunstalker101 His father is the strongest Person in the World. Illuminati confirmed.

sunstalker101 anyone know what plugin he used to make those chord sounding voices?

His own Voice a mic and Vocoder plugin.. Auto tune

+pcpaulius Let's have a peek @ your face. Broke? Hater? Hmmmm?

Yeah! Poor Sonny had it hard growing up

I love his hairstyle

Does*

His hairstyle adds to his specialty and uniqueness. Gives him 11/10

I said to my mom : i want skrillex hair cut

i think he need a dose of haircut as well

Whoah

Ur a cool ass guy

Thank u sir

Wow. I'm almost 50 and doubted someone older than me gets into Dubstep. 👍😉

You're cool af

You're*

+dobrivoje amidzic Spelling is hard when you bullied. Whaa-whaa.

jajajajaajaj

Douglas Prout HAHA I READTHIS WhEN HE SAID THIS

i also had a problem with bulling, it was quite bad. i remember this one kid cried on his birthday because i called him gay in front of everyone, another cried after i reset his digimon, the english teacher cried when i said fat people are ugly. then of course the drugs came n it was like chill as i don't wanna insult no body, just sit there and stare at the whiteboard for an entire period.

haha I just thought the same thing

Agreed. Such a fun interview.

Who is Diane?

LoL I thought that part was funny. It catches some people off guard. But it was directed. So just saying

She's thirsty

Skrillex: Your body's actually pretty amazing Diane: Your skin's actually really bad

Kaytlin Bemis u mean duane sewer?

I mean it's not normal to see hair like that

@@jctheroyalist9181 Jfc wait until you see my hair, I had that hair before, it was nothing too different.

She fell hard 😂

Are the back and sides shaved, or just the front?

in the 90's people did their hair like that all the time

Yeah..until you see the future has COVID and Minecraft 1.19.1 and juice is dead and Joe Biden is president (ringadingy dingy dong). Yeah. Until you realize the future isn't what you hoped it would be

What year was you 14? Shrillex was in his prime in 2010-2014

+Esther Jeon totally agree lol

+NicalaTea yeap

And skrillex saved diplo

+Isaiah Harper you know that diplo is a member of Major lazer

looks like you and I share the same thought.

Haha. Nagmukha tuloy scripted hahaha. Sino bang matinong babae/host ang mangingialam ng personal na gamit ng iniinterview niya. Hahahaha klepto ampotekk.

ZenytaarGaming yes..

ZenytaarGaming ikr that’s so stupid

@@lyndonmaerivera952 Tagalog

Marshmello

fr

yeah how would you even know that

More importantly, how are you even alive? 1850s: She’s like 50, maybe? So born 1800 or so, and probably dead by the 1880s, and meaning your parents mighta been born in the 1840s or 1830s! Or just a typo, maybe meant 1950s...

@@axef2946 he's a vampire

AndreVlaamsValle AHHHHHHHH

@Bordiga Armchair how do YOU know she never said that? you don't. So don't say that.

+yo ianrhodes lol

+yo ianrhodes True. lol

+yo ianrhodes Oh, it's MUCH more than buttons!! It's like any other instrument, or at least close to it as they all have their own unique functions...

+Shay Mary I know, I make music too

Saying DJing is just pressing buttons is like saying playing the piano is just pressing keys.

Skrillex is way better than Marshmello in my opinion

@@cactusjacksentme3211 thats everyones opinion... he is legend

That phone call was planned. Marshmello finds ways to get publicity in any kind of way. His biggest success of it yet was his fortnite appearance

@@cactusjacksentme3211 i like marshmello more

@Voltrex true

Lol ur finny

yeah i was embarrassed for her. ha

Yea ik that was pretty cringe ngl (ik I'm late lmao)

LOL

@@Angel-pw7el yeah lol

I love you're mentality, there needs to be more people like you.

Great mentality, but you better be listening to more artists other than Skrillex and Zomboy. And more genres as well as listening to real Dubstep from I'd say 2009 - 1990's from where it all began. You'll make for a better DJ by not only getting the attention of older ravers but new comers/modern ravers through the music you're playing. Hell, you might even help bring back the roots that define the genres and, you'll show people to appreciate the music rather than to get as fucked up as possible for no reason and mosh to genres that shouldn't even be attempted at.

Go Grizy that's actually a really good idea! I just bought myself a brand new Novation Launchpad Pro last week and it's freaking sweet! Now I can create my own music and create live mashups when I do DJ. I'm still learning how to take full advantage of all it's features. By the way those aren't the only artists I listen to. They're my absolute favorite though. I also listen to Spag Heddy, KDrew, Flux Pavilion, Jael MG, Stan SB, and others.

+Jesse Hooton Sounds good to me man ;)

+Jesse Hooton If you are listening to Skrillex you aren't only listening to dubstep because he does not make dubstep. That is why old school dub steppers hate him, because people actually keep calling his music dubstep for some reason when if you go back to the origins like Mala, Kode 9, Tempa sounds, it's nothing like it at all, it's a complete bastardization of dubstep. Even the guy who invented most of where he got his sound, Rusko, admits it's fucking horrible. The style he uses is actually a joke in dubstep.

Marcos Diaz I mean, he was in a emo band so yes

Hilarious... I’m a mom and love his music and EDM. My 9 year old adores Skrillex.

Marcos Diaz Yeah he's a emo who cares

So, Will Smith was right. Lol

@@barsatik5635 and a very HOT emo

People who play keys

In that case what are drummers.... people who hit plastic metal and wood

@@thebloodypainter4803 this is the message bro!! Theh also make sounds from these things. So do DJs

TRUE

Lmao your clown you do know who sonny moore is right???? You do know his background. Like you know he was the lead of fucking emo band. Hahahaha lmk when DJ like diplo whom become before him n look at the 90s techno scene with Daft Punk get even close to sonny moore level. Dude a 10 yr can grab a laptop and make a okay and song. Can you say the same for a kid playing the piano.... No dude you cant. Mika zibanejab is 3rd leading goal scorer in the NHL and he is a DJ. N dont get me started on DJ diesel aka shaq. It take little to no skill to be a dj.

sexual tension right there

SLOTHTASTIC GAMING Do you think Skrillex is into grown ladies?

Why not 8)

ProjectZero SEE SKRILLEX AND THAT INTERVIEW GIRL ARE CRUSHING ON EACH OTHER!!!

If ur 57 then u shouldn’t be on RU-vid.U should be with ur family

@@CarlosChavez-fs4mz tf dude you don't have to stay 24 hours a day with your family

Davide Beveresco Your right..... He should be working then be with his family

@@CarlosChavez-fs4mz you should be doing that and not wasting my time here

@@CarlosChavez-fs4mz you realize ppl his age build the internet right? or did you think this shit just magically appeared around the beginning of the 90's?

Nate Smith Awkward, or natural? It was meant to show a bit of his personality. Sure, she could have asked different questions, and they could have edited it to hell, but then it would just be another interview.

I was going to write a response... then I realized I don't give a fuck.

Nate Smith If you don't give a fuck than why did you comment in the first place?

Why does anyone do anything?

Nate Smith I was gonna write a response... then I realized I don't give a fuck.

Ashley Klug lmao I thought you meant vomit

I looked it up it showed marshemello :o

Audioandlyrics if you look his name up on RU-vid Marshmello comes up....

He'll yeah

Or Christopher

Yes

Cant wait to hear what a 45 year old skrill is gonna sound like

yes, because he became orphan early, he suffered bullying several times but continued doing what was best for him

500 years from now he will be considered classical music. now class we talk about the master of the macbook skrillex

true but is it possible 4 girls 2 make music like that? just curious

+just a lover it's possible....let's not question them.... the next day a angry mob shows up at my house when I wake up. "who are you?" "were what you called them!" "ah okay." "were here to punish you!" drags me out of bed. "how 'gonna do that." "by playing dubstep we made" drops the bass. "yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh" "ah so it's good right" "nooo awful!''

+WilleFager And you are a source to say what gives me joy!

Yup

Joice Castro no, pero por dios que me dan sida los possers c:

Joice Castro no es ser adivino, es que la foto de skrillex y poner de comentario "escrolegs hez amor, escrolegs hez bida" no me hacen pensar en otra cosa que en que eres posser a cagar

Me too

Right!

Yep

But requires talent

Papa JorJ Playing guitar is just cheese slicing your fingers

the same way making electronic music requires talent or any kind of music for that matter, isn't ironic that when renaissance music came around people simply referred to it as random noises that make no sense but today it's one of the most appreciated genres

lasse skarpengland: lol and you think producing music on a computer doesn't? Do you understand how complex sound design is and how hard it is to fit an entire frequency spectrum into a box and have everything sound perfect?

Cody Williams: With guitars you have to learn intonation, this is the key to making the string play and sound exactly how you want it, then you can do advanced techniques such as palm muting, bending strings and tapping. You will need to gradually increase the flexibility in your fingers to be able to play certain chords, or progressions, and your attributes such as dexterity, precision, flexibility and length of your fingers will limit what you can and can't play. Piano's don't need to worry about intonation, instead they have to worry about being able to play many notes at the same time, because it is a polyphonic instrument. 10 Fingers equals the ability to play 10 notes at any one time in basically an unlimited set of combinations (limited by the range of your fingers of course). On top of that, they also need to be able to play two completely different melodies with each hand. Speed, precision and timing will effect what you can and can't play. Creating music on PC's , you have time to adjust each note, each chord progression to make it sound exactly how you want it too. It is time consuming, requires tons of knowledge, requires someone that has talent in writing music, but it does not take multiple years to be able to play basic stuff, and does not require physical talent the way instruments do. There is no physical limitation that will prevent someone on PC making music (baring being handicapped in some way). Physical talent is the difference. Most people in this world will not have the physical attributes/talent to play instruments on the same level as the best. On a PC everyone physically has equal opportunity. it is all about your knowledge, creativity and the time you dedicate to it.

skrillex es mi pastor!!!!

Gabriel Luján You mean Sonny?

Big Sonny /o/
