Ever outspoken DJ Deadmau5 has gone on another one of his infamous Twitter rants - this time, taking aim at Arcade Fire for comments they made about electronic artists at the recent Coachella festival.
During their epic, hit-laden, guest-packed headline set at the California event, Arcade Fire frontman Win Butler gave a shout out to 'all the bands still playing actual instruments' - an apparent dig at the strong EDM presence on this year's line-up.
It looks like Deadmau5 was less than pleased with the remark, taking to Twitter to remind the band that DJs are as much musicians as anyone else:
shit to remember: A computer is a tool, not an instrument.

but since some EDM is enjoyable to me, ill go watch them fake it, and enjoy it more than you hate the fact that they cant play guitar.

... but seriously, im just sayin... you should get out to the opera if you ever get a chance, the orchestra pit is a cespool of pure skill.
