The word skrillex was a code name back in highschool. Anyone mentioned that name would pass the vibe check and guaranteed to be invited to the next smoke out sesh
i have so much respect for sonny. in 2004, i saw FFTL in a high school gymnasium in north jersey. sonny was covered in sweat, rolling around on a dirty gym floor. then, he started throwing up. he did this a lot due to the intense work out that were his gigs. to see him transform from that to winning multiple Grammys and being loved the world over by millions of people...i just have so much respect for him, his work ethic and his creativity. he's a true pioneer of the edm movement, basically putting dubstep on the map. i'm just so inspired by him...
HOLY SHIT HE'S NOW COLLABORATING AGAIN WITH FROM FIRST TO LAST! FUCKNUT SHOULD GIVE US A TASTE OF ANOTHER FFTL MUSIC. Note to Sonny: "We miss you terribly" If you know the reference
Great video, I have to say though, I was sad that you didn't mention his music as Sonny, and all the internet hype that surrounded the release of Bells, which never came, and all the demos and tracks he put out before taking on the Skrillex project primarily, like the Gypsyhook EP, and tracks like Mora and Copaface. A lot of people think Skrillex came out of nowhere and got lucky, but really Sonny had been working extremely hard and diligently for years before he got big again as Skrillex.
Michael Brown yesssss!!!! I have all the MySpace tracks from bells before he purged it! bells was supposed to be so diverse and different than anything anybody's ever heard.
Do other famous DJs like Martin Garrix, David Guetta, Tiesto, Deorro, Steve Aoki, Tujamo, Lay Back Luke, Rehab. Well, I think it be really cool to hear bios on them.
its crazy we all wonder what its like to be that successful but the people who have it really just fell into it by living their lives, and things just happening and them being themselves.
Twipz was kinda like a side project like Jack U/Dog Blood. But he quit it and went back to his original producer name "Sonny Moore". Then later on he named himself DJ Skrillex and remixed 2 Aphex Twin songs under that, then changed his name to just Skrillex.
Sonny Moore has said, himself, in multiple interviews that the name "Skrillex"was username he created for his Aol IM account, not a name given to him by his "band". Missing something like that, brings to question the validity of anything else you've said. If you can't find the facts, make them...
2:52 That dude got half of that part right and the other half wrong!!! The part that guy got wrong was the "Screaming Vocalist" part!!! Obviously this guy DID NOT DO ALL OF THE NECESSARY RESEARCH for this video!!!!!! Skrillex was the "LEAD VOCALIST" of the band From First To Last, BUT HE WAS NOT "THE SCREAMER"!!!!!!!! "The Screamer" was the "Lead Guitarist"!!!! SKRILLEX NEVER SCREAMED AT ALL WHILE HE WAS IN THE BAND!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOOK UP THE BAND & THE BAND'S PAST INTERVIEWS THAT SKRILLEX HAS DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In one interview that skrillex did, he said that he had got into a fight with someone and they BROKE HIS NOSE, and he then snapped his nose back into place, and went to the ER to get better info about his injury! He had trouble breathing through his nose for a while, and then due to that problem being aside from the fact that he did not ever get the proper vocal training, his throat did start giving him problems and that's what resulted in the throat surgery that he got!!!!! Due to his nose and throat giving him problems, like they were for a while, that's what made him quit singing!!!!!!!!
what you just said is half right. yes his throat injuries were probably 1 reason why he left but he always says this other reason in interviews why he left but i forgot i’ll try to find it.😂
You forgot to mention that he didn't really get exposed to electronic music until the 2006 Coachella Daft Punk set. They've really inspired everyone from Avicii to Porter Robinson to Yeezus himself.
love the vids, if i could change anything i would like the intro's to be a little shorter. i feel like you go so in depth in the beginning that i'm listening to everything twice. (nothing wrong with it, just would be more captivating i.m.o.)
"I Read All The Comments" you obviously must have overlooked my last 30 comments asking you to do chance the rapper.... Do CHANCE THE RAPPER 👍 PLEASE and thank you
+Anonymous Person ahh well it twas a good show back in the day. But before he was famous he was like a little kid. They gonna make a video about how he used to play with tonka trucks? Lol..I'm just giving you hard time. They should do a video about after he was famous haha
I know I'm really late to the party, just discovering your video's on a late night borboun fuelled binge, but is it not possible to play small segments of their music through their different phases through the video? I think if its short enough it would fall under fair use and would really add something to your videos to hear each artists transition through various phases of their life. Thanks
that is not scientology it is actual science, scientology is a cult a sad sad cult, a fun cult to make fun of they have provided me with so many lols on south park. But neuroscience is actual science not some bull shit spewed by a strange cult out in call, try doing some looking up the brain and shit, women have different brain structures than men, this is fact scientific fact. We store emotional centers on both sides of the brain and our speech centers on both side, where as men have them on separate sides, it is physical harder for men to talk about there feelers than for women. oh and btw I am a chick not a dude. double OH fuck scientology right in the ear.
What about the part of his life where is did sing in his own EP Gypsyhook? he released music as "Sonny Moore" songs like Mora, copaface2. This was released in 2009.
I want you to document 80's band The Fixx. They had huge hits in their days (Red Skies, Saved by Zero) and then virtually vanished. The lead singer is Cy Curnin so I guess it would be about him... probably be a huge challenge for you cuz the information is probably scant.
+Dub Nation His music is really repetitive and his audience is made up of 12 year olds. Want to hear good music? Just check out NoCopyrightSounds. I literally like every song on their channel.
maybe one of the coolest childhood nicknames ever made Skrillex
The word skrillex was a code name back in highschool. Anyone mentioned that name would pass the vibe check and guaranteed to be invited to the next smoke out sesh
skrillex is the coolest nickname i've ever heard

Skrillex used to sing for an emo band called From First to Last, as Sonny Moore. Screamo/Post Hardcore turned Dubstep. What a drastic change...
i have so much respect for sonny. in 2004, i saw FFTL in a high school gymnasium in north jersey. sonny was covered in sweat, rolling around on a dirty gym floor. then, he started throwing up. he did this a lot due to the intense work out that were his gigs. to see him transform from that to winning multiple Grammys and being loved the world over by millions of people...i just have so much respect for him, his work ethic and his creativity. he's a true pioneer of the edm movement, basically putting dubstep on the map. i'm just so inspired by him...

Great video, I have to say though, I was sad that you didn't mention his music as Sonny, and all the internet hype that surrounded the release of Bells, which never came, and all the demos and tracks he put out before taking on the Skrillex project primarily, like the Gypsyhook EP, and tracks like Mora and Copaface.

Thank you for this video. I love Skrillex and it's great to hear his story. Great job putting it together!

Corey Feldman aint foolin me.i see you nukka

You forgot to mention that he didn't really get exposed to electronic music until the 2006 Coachella Daft Punk set. They've really inspired everyone from Avicii to Porter Robinson to Yeezus himself.
Skrillex and Neil Cicierega would be an a w esome collab
love the vids, if i could change anything i would like the intro's to be a little shorter. i feel like you go so in depth in the beginning that i'm listening to everything twice. (nothing wrong with it, just would be more captivating i.m.o.)
I love ur vidz. Can u do Snoop dogg
Idk but he looks like the one kid in Goonies don't remember his name
Mouth
Yes, that's the kid
Cory feldman
+ManiaMusicChannel I was thinking the same thing. He looks a little like a young Corey Feldman. Weird and they both were really into Michael Jackson.
+ManiaMusicChannel all emo kids look like there were in the Goonies. lol
@ 3:32 John, You're talking about 12th Planet :) . Great producer and Dj and one of the nicest guys I've met

+WaffleSpaz yes
I know I'm really late to the party, just discovering your video's on a late night borboun fuelled binge, but is it not possible to play small segments of their music through their different phases through the video? I think if its short enough it would fall under fair use and would really add something to your videos to hear each artists transition through various phases of their life. Thanks
I think the name Skrillex is AWSOME and I love his music I'm so into it
did the michael jackson picture not scare anyone else
Before they where famous: Datsik
+Hshx Excision would work better IMO. Or maybe KJ Sawka or any member of Pendulum for that matter.
holidayonion Would be cool too see Datsik in "Before They Where Famous" tho
Hshx Not gonna lie, it really would.
holidayonion too bad even though Datsik is one of dubstep's most known artists he is not so known for non dubstep fans
Hshx Yeah. He was one of my favorite back when I listened to nothing but dubstep.
Daft Punk Next.
What is the song in the background?
1:34 wow that is acually terrifying
I'm surprised he didn't mention Scientology once.
+Ms. Private Kitty he might not have enough money to get sued right now, so just best not to mention scientology.
+Bagen siss I spit on Scientology.
that is not scientology it is actual science, scientology is a cult a sad sad cult, a fun cult to make fun of they have provided me with so many lols on south park.

Skrillex is hated a lot despite being the musical genius he is.
+Dub Nation His music is really repetitive and his audience is made up of 12 year olds. Want to hear good music? Just check out NoCopyrightSounds. I literally like every song on their channel.
i know this is 2 years late
But this kid just called Skrillex's fan 12y/o and top NCS music over Skrillex
i loled so hard
I think the picture with the band 'from first to last' where it zoomed in I don't think that was Sonny. Wasn't that Matt Good?? Idk
HES BACK IN FROM FIRST TO LAST😭😍❤️
This guy, I love this guy (I mean skrillex)
1:21 what music?
Anyone know a program to do what skrillex is doing?
Can you do Datsik or Virtual Riot?
Or Excision?
He was such a cute baby!!!!! Oh my goodness!!!!!!
when he found out he was adopted he said he really didn't care, not "I have nothing to do with my mother!"
Danks no he never said he didn’t care he was just angry that he was lied to his whole life and decided to move out.
@@chrissy5323 check the interview between him and this chick
Danks what interview
@@chrissy5323 Skrillex: The Making of a Superstar
Danks yeah he said it affected him profoundly which means it had a huge affect on him so he did care.
Dude if your doin skrillz n mau5 you absolutely need to do one on Bassnectar, just sayin.
No BASSHUNTER!!!!!!
I love skrillex dearly and truly
Can u do an updated version of this tho
Looks like the kid who's dad burnt his ear in "Stand By Me" who is the same kid from "Goonies"
