I think Jonas calling himself Basshunter is a joke, have you heard the crap he dishes out? Then he squeezes the cheese and produces some Bass. If you are creating music that makes "Scooter" looks like R&B artist, then you should not call yourself Basshunter. Unofficially Jonas is Crapmaker.

Well... if you manage to sell 4 million records of crappy music, you ought to have some talent...

Popularity is no indication of talent. What a stupid argument.

You are talented, if you are good at what you are doing... and Jonas is good at selling records. What are you good at? Annoying people? Is that your talent?

Wrong. You are not talented just because you can sell records. Crazy Frog sold like crazy. Was that talent? Bob The Builder sold like crazy. Was that talent?

Why are you turning this into something about me? Why are you turning into an immature little brat just because I don't like Basshunter's music? Are my not allowed to hate it?

If your goal is to sell records, not to make good music, then indeed you are talented if you sell 4 million records. There are lots of talented musicians, who obviously lack the talent to sell their music.

I don't like Basshunter's music either. I'm just asking you... what's your talent? What are you good at? Anything at all?

You think all music is enjoyable for everyone individually? Ofcourse not, we all find certain tunes crap and his are crap.

Let's turn your question on it's head, if Jonas was really successful and music really popular, then why is Jonas in the big brother house?

[Stu]

Regardless of liking it or not, his music is cheap. That's a fact. His style of music is incredibly easy to create and requires little artistic talent. His tunes never deviate from the same predictable formula. He is an embarrasment to electronic music and I have yet to meet someone over the age of 18 who likes what he produces.

Jonas' music isn't too bad.

Used to really like it, still like a couple of them now.
Think you have to be in a certain mood, and like obviously chart dance music.

I'd take his music over Justin Bieber but i still dont likey

[Zippy]

He knows he makes cheesey crap. He said as much to Dane tonight.

Sad when musicians(using the term lightly) are not proud of their own output. Very sad actually. He seems to be getting financially *****ed too.

[Shasown]

Whilst Jonas calls himself basshunter its has nothing to do with music, its not bass as in the bass tones sounds like ace, its bass as in the fish as in mass.

When he was 11 he was fishing with his mothers mother(thats the way so scandis differentiate grandparents) she was an old sea dog and took him sea fishing, he fell into the sea when she lost her balance while striking at a nibble. He fell into a school of ravenous sea bass who proceeded in a feeding frenzy to attack him consuming an eye, both ears and his two legs. The wounds were fatal.

On being released from hospital it was found he was now deaf as well as brain dead. However he now has a pathological hatred of certain species of fish and has vowed never to rest till all the sea bass and its relatives are extinct.

The fact he wrote and performed music was incidental but is now instrumental in providing him with sufficient money to continue what he now considers is his true vocation Bass Hunting.

That's possibly the best post I have ever read.

Marten stop getting personal to Judas because he dislikes your countryman.

I think most English GoalKeepers are not talented enough to play for England, and I am a Goalie myself. I am not talented enough to play for England but neither are Green, James or Robinson and most people who are English would agree. Same difference to your argument, and this thread is about Jonas but it is unfair to prove your point by comparing his talent to someone who is not a musician. Chicaine, and Paul Van Dyk are world class and puts Bass to shame.

Joe Hart all the away.

If you claim that Jonas' music is "incredibly easy to create and requires little artistic talent", doesn't that imply that you know quite a great deal about the music and the making of music? If I want to watch a football match I expect the commentator to know what he's talking about, and if you claim you know more than the commentator you better expect to be scrutinised.

Who said I hated him for real? Stop getting so anal about terms. I hate his music. I don't genuinly hate the guy.

Jesus christ. Stop scraping the barrel for arguments.

Sorry... but you are the one calling me anal, silly, mong, brat, etc. Do you really expect me to just accept that? I have't said anything that nasty.

[Stu]

You don't need to be a recording artist to say someone's music is cheap and uncreative. Stop makng pointless comparisons.

And as it happens I do know the basic mechanics behind creating his style of tracks. He started out making cheap beats on FL Studio. Four kicks per bar. A clap or something of that nature on every second kick, hi hat's or something of that nature in between each kick, a generic, always same sounding low bassline, and a synth buzzsaw melody thrown over the top.

Always structured in the same pedantic way. Faster kicks before the chorus, so on, so on. Gatecrasher Trance circa 1997 - for kids.

He did not even create the arpeggiated melody on Now Your Gone, it was a preset that came with the software for christ sake.

I don't particularly care if I call you a brat because that's exactly what your acting like because of the simple fact that you can't respect the fact that people think his music sucks dick.

I've said numerous times that I don't like his music at all. It's too simplistic and quite boring. It can be catchy, but still boring. Calling it electronic is just embarrassing. DM is electronic... Basshunter is not.

[trasadkel]

Crap music or not Now youre gone still managed to stay at number 1 for 5 weeks. No mean feat in this day and age. He has said he has not had any time off in the last 5 years and is booked for the forseeable future. Whether you think his music is cheesy or not he is very successful at what he does and there are many that would like to be in his shoes.

Personally I don't like his music but as a person he has really surprised me. No pretences or boasting and bragging, a language barrier, fighting Tourettes, being dumped and conned by his manager and yet he has still been the most genuine, kind , down to earth person in there.

[BB_Eye]

All trance music is, without exception, terrible, so it's redundant to say Basshunter is a bad trance producer.

It's still electronic music though. Electronic is a huge, huge genre that breaks into many other subgenres.

Trance is a pretty big genre of electronic music. All the mainstream tripe is horrible but there is some great stuff under the ground if you dig for it. Lot's of tranceheads are just as embarrased about the likes of Basshunter and Tiesto as you or I.
