Howard Stern rips on Deadmau5, Guetta and more

Alex Fish and Kelly Alanbay on 22/2/12

In this hilarious recording from Howard Stern’s morning show on Sirius Satellite Radio, we see exactly how far electronic music has to go to find an understanding audience in the US. A lot of progress has been made stateside, but as Howard’s reaction to The Grammy broadcast shows, there’s a lot of work left to be done. Listen to the 3 minute clip below where they discuss Deadmau5, David Guetta, Skrillex and their fans. We’ve included some notable quotes that had us ROFL.

“The thing that really upsets me is…That guy who wears a mouse head and plays techno music…FLATER-MOUSE”

“A weird thing in music going on right now, guys who stand there and play, like, records”

“And all he does is spin a record?!”

“All these other assholes in the audience who have a mouse head on their head scare me more than the guy playing the records because at least the guy playing the records has a career….Dildo heads”

“David Gwetta”

“He stands in front of a turntable, and raises his arms every once in a while”

“Hey asshole, that’s not how you spell mouse!”

"I would never have the balls to have a career like that. Like if I went out and played an ipod and just went out and scratched my ipod, I just think people would lynch me."

“You would change your name too, nothing cool about Joel Zimmerman”

“But Moby writes songs!”
