Deadmau5 Quotes

A concert is not a live rendition of our album. It's a theatrica! event.

You don't go see Primus to see what kind of new clothing I'm wearing or what my new hairdo is. You come to see Primus for the musical experience and the visual experience. I think, anyways. Maybe I'm wrong!

I'm a live performer and I love playing live.

I think most of the people, once you see a Kiss show, you kinda get spoiled because I don't think there's anybody out there that's doing a bigger or a better show than us.

Obviously we're not Kiss, but we go out there and jump around like idiots and try to have a good time and entertain people.

I don't think I'm an entertainer. I never think, 'Wow, I can't wait to get the crowd moving.' Some of my favorite bands never moved an inch.

I do my best creating on stage.

Honestly, live is my favorite way of performing. Every show is a completely different energy.

The stage show is, in some sense, highly theatrical. It's definitely not just a band in jeans playing rock and roll.

Performing live is the greatest high in the world. That's why I do what I do.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm just a guitar player, and my job is to go out there and play and entertain and do my thing.

Our live show is a definite experience, since it's an extension of my albums.
