The Frenchman opined that the dance scene's unwillingness to embrace its full commercial potential "killed dance music for so many years".

Guetta said: "That spirit of wanting to keep this only for ourselves, and anything that's successful is bad. That culture that goes in a cycle where everybody loves someone and they're all talking about him, and then in one second, because he's successful, 'Ah, fuck him, he's bullshit!' What? But you were saying the same guy was a genius last year, now he's the worst person?"

Well, thanks for reviving it, I guess...

Yeah I am sure I actually read this a few months ago but either I dreamed it or it has come back up.

Basically, the interview is a load of rubbish.

Does he still think he produces Dance music?

dance music.. everywhere..

Underground didn't kill dance music. David Guetta killed dance music.

What a muppet.

David Guetta has went a long way in trying to ruin dance music by whoring it out to other genres to pad out poorly written songs. For instance, the last couple of years have seen Ibiza go from a paradise for real music lovers to a pop music/r&b hellhole featuring r&b songs with a basic dance beat and melody in the background. Just look at Ibiza spotlights party calender and notice some of the names playing this year, such as Wiz Khalifa and Nicky Minaj who are good in their own right, but not for a place that should remain the Island of EDM.

I still had a great night at trance events right enough!
