El ex-guitarrista / cantante de la banda FIRST TO LAST, Sonny Moore....ahora conocido como SKRILLEX, al igual que el baterista Tommy Lee (MÖTLEY CRÜE)....hizo el switch de ROCK a ELECTRONIC MUSIC en el 2007 para producir su propia música (y por lo que he visto, una que no le requiriera el tener que cantar)....logrando un éxito comercial bastante moderado, el cual incluye 5 NOMINACIONES a los PREMIOS GRAMMY (2012), incluyendo la categoría de BEST NEW ARTIST...y es este género, el DUBSTEP y su contraparte post-dubstep...el BROSTEP, que apela a fans de artistas como Marilyn Manson y Nine Inch Nails....lo que eventualmente atrajo la atención del vocalista de KORN, Jonathan Davis...cuyo resultado fueron 3 de los tracks, que identifican la última producción de este grupo "THE PATH OF TOTALITY", que fué la sorpresa del 2011, cuya mezcla de elementos electrónicos + el sonido de Korn fué el album del año de REVOLVER MAGAZINE....y lo que traera en los próximos años....la nueva flota de bandas de ROCK que utilizen la combinación dub/brostep con metal.
Durante la bastante concurrida presentación (13MIL por ahí) en el ESTADIO SIXTO ESCOBAR (San Juan, P.R.)...que les diré....aquello parecía LAS JUSTAS de la LIGA ATLÉTICA INTERUNIVERSITARIA (LAI) pude ver parte de la presentación del DJ que le precedió al headline act...si no me equivoco fué ZEDD, quien cerró su presentación, con un arriesgado STAGE DIVE...al igual que la presentación de SKRILLEX, y les diré que solo con ver los primeros 20 minutos de su espectáculo de remixes, fueron enough para ver porqué Jonathan Davis movió cielo mar y tierra para que el creador de "FIRST OF THE YEAR" hiciera su valiosa contribución a "The Path of Totality"...y make no mistake...en ocaciones PARECÍA QUE ESTABA ESCUCHANDO el album de KORN (mi referencia)...y creo que coló un pequeño rastro de "GET UP"...LOS EFECTOS de sonido tipo "TRANSFORMERS"...defintely there!!! El montaje de tarima y su personal...excellent....se movieron rápido...no pasó mucho tiempo entre Zedd y Skrillex, quien subió a tarima a eso de las 12:15 A.M. aprox. para ofrecer su....eh...no se si llamarle ONE LONG MIX....iniciando con "RIGHT IN", que incluyó samples de "Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites",
title track de la producción que lleva el mismo título....e incluyendo "WATCH OUT", "KILL EVERYBODY", "FIRST OF THE YEAR" entre otros.....y digo one long mix....porque no es como que el se iba a coger un break para hablar con un público a quien mantuvo pompeao' durante su show, algo díficil en este arte de símplemente estar haciendo un one-man show detrás de esa consola...precísamente lo que logró PAULY D ("Jersey Shore") el pasado 10 de diciembre / 11 en Coliseo de Puerto Rico, siendo opening act de Britney Spears, mientras que a esta última le faltó un poco de cafeina...la que aparéntemente le deben haber suministrado a Skrillex, pero por montones......Rayos cómo brincaba este dude, sin mencionar que...ese TOUR RIDER debe haber incluido cajetillas de cigarrillos...porque make no mistake...el dude fué todo una chimenea. Anyway, fuera de la dificultad que tuve para separar un track del otro (ES MI ÚNICA QUEJA)....buena presentación, pero al final del día por más buena que fuera...FUÉ EL PÚBLICO BORICUA el que dió un buen show...o por lo menos así lo dejó saber el própio SKRILLEX en su cuenta de Twitter (http://twitter.com/#!/Skrillex/status/154856018248081408).
SKRILLEX EN VIVO DESDE EL SIXTO ESCOBAR CLIP...
(E-10): Te digo...parecía las justas...no estamos ni en fø(1N SPRINGBREAK.
(EGUIE): El tipo parece un Jonathan Davis en performance y entró con cigarrillo en mano...bien rockstar el K4Brøn hahaha...Anyway, Skrillex concert...tenía curiosidad pero lamentablemente no pude ir. Debo admitir que no soy un super fan del Dubstep, pero después de escuchar el junte que hizo KORN con varios DJs incluyendo a Skrillex, mi curiosidad por este estilo de musica creció. A pesar de no haber ido personalmente, tengo varias amistades que me comentaron que el concierto estuvo...por lo que acabo de ver en YouTUBE....A OTRO NIVEL, que lo que se escuchaba era una ráfaga de sonidos que dejaban sordo a cualquiera y que fue "pompiaera" todo el tiempo.
(E-10): Espero ver más colaboraciones de este dude en el area de rock in the near future....y OJO PRODUCTORES DE CONCIERTOS DE ROCK.....El PARQUE SIXTO ESCOBAR es otra opción.

As I was not fortunate enough to cover this event my self I set out to get first hand opinions from those lucky enough to assist. Here are some of the personal reviews of some of those who assisted to an awesome event.
ReplyDelete-SID MERCED- OF "THESE MEN ARE ALL MONSTERS" SAYS:
Sid Merced:
It was a amazing event artist lineup was incredible and the sound equipment was also the venue was too crowded and the security was horrible and hostile but if you could ignore those factors like I did you possibly had the same time I did a amazing one.
I really liked how "ZEDD" and "Skrillex" interacted and mixed genres and key points from their original mixes unto other artist they toured or worked with from straight "Dubstep" to dirty "Drum and Bass" and announcing their original mixes and new ones while not loosing tempo or risking a bad transition they truly didn't disappoint. What I would only point out as the downfall was the security and the crowded venue as that some people really can't deal with a crowded place and get pretty annoyed but other than that a amazing event with amazing artist and a amazing time.
Riki Lee: what else could you tell me about the show. or what would you like to see in the future perhaps a bigger venue here on the island?
Sid Merced Rodz: A bigger venue and similar level artist to be invited more often to this island. It would make great events.
Riki Lee: any one in your wish list?
Sid Merced Rodz: Rusko, Knife Party, ZED'S DEAD, Bar 9, Big Chocolate, Camo & Crooked, Modestep.
Riki Lee: Thanks I'm sure that This was one party to remember.
There were few others that were in the party one that chooses not to be mentioned said this about the activity.
Riki Lee: So what was the highlights of your evening at the SKRILLEX show or what didn't you like about it.
ANONYMOUS:
COOR'S LIGHT presented this party and one of the biggest complaints was just that the fact of the over priced beer and water. I hate Coor's Light, it taste like piss water and then it makes you piss like a horse. asides from that the lines were almost the size of the party, if it wasn't SKRILLEX I might of had gone home early.
Riki Lee: Umm, but you had a good time? And would you repeat it if it happened again.
ANONYMOUS:
Yeah, I would but it needs to be in a bigger place. something like they did in the past where that had party's @ El Yunque or something of that level.
Riki Lee: You mean like the old rave party's and stuff...
ANONYMOUS:
Yep, The old school party's hehehehehehehehehe.
Riki Lee: umm ok..Thank you for your impressions.
Riki Lee:
hey whats you experience at the SKRILLEX SHOW..
was it good, was it bad.. anything you might wanna say about it?
Jean Lassus:
The getting in part kinda sucked, I keep saying they need to open more gates to these events it takes forever to get in
aside from that it was an excellent show to start the new year with.
Riki Lee:
anything else?
Jean Lassus:
there was no big trouble anywhere
security was pretty lax
Jean Lassus:
food beer was a tiny expensive but what can u expect from the Metro area
Skrillex did an awesome set, every single mix (except one fail he did during the middle of the show)
where well played and he was very pumped to be playing his music for us here in pr
over all an excellent first concert for 2012.
Riki Lee:
what do you think of the people who attended the show?
and the pyrotechnics and projections if any?
Jean Lassus:
For the most part everyone was very easy going and just there to have an awesome time, fly hi and listen to some good beats.
not a lot of pyrotechnics, mostly light shows all around but what little fire they had it was well placed and shinny** O.O
As to the projections and light show well set to the beats, they had some nice holographic projections that covered the whole stage, aside from a few awe inspiring
Riki Lee:
ok.. well thank you for that insight.
Me gusta un poco, no todas sus canciones son buenas. Me quedo con DeadMau5 Y Dj Tiesto.
