But by all definitions of music those stupid noises are bad. A couple of the tracks he played were ok when it wasn't ruined by those awful noises.

Music (noun) :
Vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) combined in such a way as to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion

As above - it's subjective. You don't like it. I don't especially enjoy it. Other people evidently do.

It's still music.

Well those horrible noises don't express beauty of anything, they certainly aren't harmonic and the only emotion i can link with them is angry robots
 
Dub step in general can be a god awful cacophony of Transformers raping a dial up modem. Skrillex just happens to be one of the worst offenders.
His latest album sounded pretty tame and rather musical when I heard it in a mates car though.

Most of his stuff isn't real dubstep though. I like some proper dubstep but then the americans ruined it with their wobbly robot 'brostep'. What Skrilliex plays is a mish max of this brostep with over the top electro effects.

IN YOUR OPINION. Ever heard the phrase - Beauty is in the eye of the beholder? ;)

You have made your opinion perfectly clear. Not everyone agrees with you. Harping on about it won't change that.

Were you there? I was and it was probably the highlight for me. Amazing set and stage show.

People need to get over Skrillex and their precious dub step sensibilities. Every genre of music changes/adapts and influences. So Skrillex is very different from uk dubstep, true, so what. I like our dubstep but his is totally different and has its place. As per the track on his new album, all is fare in love and brostep.
 
Currently watching the Metallica set on iPlayer. They definitely didn't sound that gutless in person and I could easily pick out Kirk's solos.

It's probably harder for me to like what dubstep has become because I'm from Croydon and it was invented here. I remember hearing it many years before it got popular :p

I was going to jungle nights by 94 but I don't get butt hurt every time a DnB track turns up in an insurance advert (ok, that's not true, I do a bit).

I also lived in Croydon, but only for 3 months because it was a **** hole :p

Gosh poor you :( Isn't music much better when only 15-20 of you know it? Can't stand it when a band actually gets success.

Lol it's nothing to do with how many people like it. It's just the fact that a lot of music gets watered down for the masses to get popular in the first place. It causes music to lose a lot of what it was originally about. Dubstep is a great example actually, how much 'dub' do you really hear in it these days?
 
I don't give a **** about music genres, people can call music whatever they want. It's always cool amongst the 'musical elitists' to hate what's popular.

That's the Hipsters. I don't hate what's popular, it just happens to be that a lot of what becomes popular isn't very good. I don't sotp liking something if it becomes popular, but might do if they change it to become popular in the first place.
 
This Saturday Iron Maiden will make history at Knebworth as they stage an aerial dogfight over Sonisphere before their headline set – with Bruce Dickinson flying one of the planes!

Why all the Arcade Fire hate?
I thought they were amazing, but was pretty drunk at the time...

Jurassic 5 and Metronomy were fantastic too.

Spent far too much time in Beats Hotel - some great music/ DJs in there...
