Ultra 6 !!!!! Miami !!

THIS RAVE IS GONNA BE THE BEST I WENT TO THE 5TH ULTRA AND IT WAS AWSOME AND IM HOPING TO GO THISONE

Yah...I agree....Ultra05 was pretty hott. Soem things were missing though...They needed better preparation as far as what the dj's had spun. And...they could have used some better replacement dj's in the main arena...The transition wasn't that great as far as Underworld performing rite after Tiesto's excellent gig! Underworld ruined the whole trance feeling i had going on. They're good, but honestly, i wouldn't bother listening to them unless I was inevitably led to listen to them. Instead of Underworld...they could have used some Armin or Ferry...I remember Oakie pumping up the crowd during the daylight hours....then I remember Tiesto coming after some band...and he f**kn' kicked a** all the wayyyyyy....!! I remember Paul after Underworld...and Paul should have been more prepared...because he's the best...lol..but they should have moved underworld and that other band that came between the more famous and well known trance dj's...the replacements should have been atleast ferry and armin....if not some other awesome trance dj from Europe. I'm looking forward to a better Ultra06 this spring...Hopefully I'll see some of the TA's there...along with another great Ultra...!

Ultra 6 !!!!! Miami !!

I think that "other band" you are referring to is The Streets, those British losers...I remember staring at them for 1.5 hours wondering wtf are they doing at ultra? It was TERRIBLE. I made the sacrifice and held onto our seats at the main stage, while three of my friends went off to see Sasha at the Radio One essential mix stage. What a fucking waste of an hour of my life. Gah, pisses me off thinking about The Streets.

This year, all of the top ten people need to be there, in the same stage. The problem is they all demand to be one of the last up for the night, to have a bigger audience. The bigger they are the later, you know? So when you have Tiesto, PvD, Oakey, Ferry, Sasha, Sander, Diggy, armin, etc, all wanting a "late reservation"...it could get sticky...so they had to break it up into two stages...
My dilemna was as such: Underworld here, Sander there. Many people here, many people there. I lose my seats here, if I go see Sander K. there. I could see sander, have a great time, and come back...to shitty seats for PvD...or suffer through Underworld and have great seats for PvD. Did that make sense? I chose to sit through Underworld (which wasn't bad at all, btw, I would just rather see Sander).

I hope they figure something out this year that lets me see AAAALLLLLL the best people without moving my lazy American Ass one inch, heheh.

Wash your maaaatttthhhh out sukka, the streets have got one of the best male vocalist talents out there. It certainly is not trance, and 1 1/2hrs does seem a little long, but the've got some great tracks.

Yes I enjoyed the streets. Its not trance for sure, but variety is a damn good thing. Btw didnt they only play an hour? Im looking at my flyer on my wall right now and it says THE STREETS: 4:30-5:30

Anyways, I didnt stay the whole time for them, but I still enjoyed them.

No offense, but I don't think variety is the price i paid for. I paid to see STRICTLY trance dj's in the main arena, because i don't want to sacrifice my view to go walk a mile to see another great dj. I was in the front, right grabbing on to the rails. Yah they're all great, but they could have set them up somewhere else, so that people wouldn't have to move around so much. I was in the main arena, and I was not looking for variety. I was strictly in the trance vibe, and that's all i wanted to hear, because that's what soothes me. If anything else, deep prog. house is OK. Not that the band you guys are taking about called the streets or underworld sucked. They could have placed them somewhere else. It's not that their performance sucked, it's just that it's not what i was digging. I wanted Oakie, Tiesto, PvD, armin, ferry, and whoever was in the same music genre to be in the main arena, and no doubt, even though pvd messed up last time, he is the closing act, HE IS THE BEST. I want the rush to keep coming. not to stop when underworld or the streets come on. They could go to another stage where the music they're playing or performing is similar to their co-dj's or co-performers. as i said, variety is not the price i paid for. they could place them somewhere. there organization was not all great, and hopefully, this upcoming ultra will be better as far as their overall projection. as said before, no offense.

Obviously variety is indeed the price you paid for, since I assume you saw the lineup well before you purchased your tickets? This isnt "Ultra-trance-fest." To assume that the mainstage would simply be trance throughout the day is ignorant. It never has been in the past. Your the first person Ive seen who didnt think the underworld show was absolutely fucking fantastic, so obviously your musical tastes are the minority. The promoters have a lot more people to worry about and please musically that yourself, wanting to hear only trance. 14 hours of trance all day would get incredibly stale after 2-3 for 90% of the people out there.

Dont complain about the slot times. I do think the streets should have gone before Chris Lawrence, since he played a really rocking set and the streets played a very laid back type set. But other than that, the time slots were very well done I beleive. If you wanted to hear only trance then you could have easily gone to see Diggers/Sasha when the streets started, and then gone to George Acosta/Dave Seaman/Guy Ordanel during Underworld (Im looking at my ultra flyer right now, and only at one side with the 4 main stages because its pinned to the wall). Dont argue that you were trying to save those seats: thats a sacrefice you must make, get over it. Thats the nature of these big festivals. I would consider that a tiny tiny inconvienence when compared to the amazing day Ultra is. Btw, I also found an excellent spot for PvD only a few rows back without even trying.

I'm not going to write a F**Kin" page on what i want to say. but personally, i don't give a fu*k what u say. I saw the line-up, and i wasn't going to go kill the world to change it. part of what i said was that it needs to be better. That was not f-n' good. that was BS esp that crackass underworld. I don't give a damn who likes it and who doesn't. I said it would have been better for them to do it by main genres. and i think that is reasonable so you can get ur ass to the show you like, and leave my ass where i like trance and am willing to listen to it for 14 straight hours. i'm on TRANCEaddict argueing this position, not crackass UNDERWORLDaddict. If you like that BS they can please you by taking you somewhere else where the people that play with that BS is the same genre. I'm not going to sacrifice shit to go lose my pvd, tiesto, and oakie seats. Ultra is good, but it could be better with it's organization. few rows back for PvD isn't all great at the fact that you couldn't see him and you were nearly under people. and if ur happy, then i'll be sure to send u a cookie. don't fu*kin' send an arguement like that where your talking like a damn know-it-all. When the main arena was nearly ALL trance, it is IGNORANT to say that variety is good when 2 groups play in bettween what the whole nation came for, then that is not much of a variety. now is it? most of the variety WAS OUTSIDE THE MAIN ARENA, not within, 2 groups do not compose for the whole damn variety that is avialable. so now these two varieties that are available to you and the audience and can be moved where you like ur variety. out in the smaller stages. THE END.

crackass underworld?
HAHAHA!
dude, do us all a favour this year and stay home.

most stages had themes, the main stage theme was HEADLINER
if you dont think Underworld live PA is HEADLINER material, then you are indeed one stuck up trance snob (this much is sadly obvious already). They were the best act of the day. To see them LIVE is a rarity, and you should be lucky that you were there in the front row. It sickens me that you stayed in teh same spot all day just to be front and centre later on. heres a hint. Oakie and teisto played identical sets to their night @ space, PVD was the same as the night earlier @ space. Underworld fuckin blew my mind away.

I thought the Main stage was perfectly done. So did the other 44 999(minus you of course) people there. My biggest problem was that I couldnt be at 3 stages at once!!!!

ps Underworld is on nearly everybody playlist, Sahsa, Digweed, Armin, Tiesto, PvD etc. To call them crackass is the biggest joke of alltime. PIONEERS they are fucking PIONEERS of music.

Well obviously the promoters of ultra do. Every single person I have ever seen but you agreed the underworld show was fucking spectacular. And just about every other person said it was the best preformance of the night. Ultra is not made to please you. Its made to please everyone. Be grateful you're seeing oakie, tiesto, and pvd in one night.

quote:

i like trance and am willing to listen to it for 14 straight hours.

Then go throw your own party. Good fucking luck trying to get oakie, tiesto, and pvd to play there. Probably 99% of people attending Ultra are not willing to listen to 14 straight hours of trance. The promoters must please the other 99% of people before they please the 1%. And dont say "well why couldn't there have just been one stage for one genre all day?" Because some stages are bigger and better than others. Its only fair that theres a reasonable variety on them so that everyone can enjoy the thrill of dancing between thousands of people on one of the bigger stages. You also put the biggest names on the bigger stages so that more people can enjoy the biggest stages. Underworld is a fucking ledgend... they practically pioneered everything. Just because you dont like them doesnt mean that practically everyone else doesnt, because they do, and for that they deserve a slot on the mainstage.

TranceAddict members account for MAYBE 1-2% of all people attending ultra. Your argument is void.

People never fail to astonish me by reaching new, unimaginable levels of ignorance. Please, do us, and yourself, a favor, by either getting a fucking clue, or not coming to Ultra.

Ultra does not revolve around you. You may want to hear 14 hours of trance all day long, but 99% of everyone else does not. The lineup will not be created so you personally can have the luxury of seeing all your favorite DJ's without having to move an inch all day. If you beleive it should be otherwise, your insane. And if your bitching about seeing Oakie, Tiesto and PvD in the same day, in the front row, and having to put up with one set you dont like, then you need a bit of perspective, thanks.

Get over it, buddy. You are not special. Do like everyone else does, get off your lazy ass and go elsewhere if you dont want to hear a particular DJ. If that means sacreficing your front row seats, too bad, thats the price you pay like everyone else. If you want to keep your seats, you may have to sit through a preformance you dont like. Too bad, thats the price you pay like everyone else.

I still cant see why your whining about it. Ultra was a fucking fantasic show, the lineup was excellent (except for putting PvD on at the same time as Mauro Picotto, ARGH!)

Yes!

Ill be there once again. cant wait. counting the days.

How the hell are you telling me that I should or should not come some place that I even think was fantastic, but posed my opinions on flaws. Just because I think someething has some flaws in MY VIEW, does not mean that you need to agree with me. You have no damn right to tell me what I should or shouldn't do. That is your ignorance, so you need to fuckin get a clue, and think about what arguement you're exposing. as i said, 2 groups do not account for the variety that you're talking about. Also, when I first wrote on this message board, I was saying what "I" thought it could be better, not what you fuckin think is better for me to say, or what I should say to suit your views. You need to take your ass somewhere and get a fuckin clue because ur the ignorant ass who opposed what i thought in the first place. it's called an opinion, not a fuckin fact. you have ur opinion as well, but when you oppose my opinion in such a manner that is offensive i'm going to get offensive as well. don't fuckin present an arguement with someone where your main tone is "i'm fuckin right and you need to change your views." That's what an opinion is...If I said that "I THINK" something could have been done a certain way, then that is what I think, not what YOU have to necessarily agree with. And I didn't mind that you replied to my first or second post, but when you reply in such a manner that you're telling me that what i think is wrong, that is bullshit. you can take your fuckin ideas and keep them to yourself if you don't want to cause a fuckin chaotic arguement. Ultra does not revolve around your ass either. And to pretend like 99% is the statistics is dum as shit. Shows ur intellect VERY CLEARLY, or shows what little there is. What I believe is my belief, and ur opposition is not going to change my mind so I think it is best fo you not to post afterwards. Who is bitching? You are bitching, and you need to stop your bitching because I'm not going to change my views for your unreal "statistical values". It is after your offensive post that I got offended. I'm not bitching about the bands. If anything I'm bitching at your ignorance. You are trying to set an arguement that is not even well grounded. Think about it, I have my opinion about what I thought was good and what I thought wasn't. You have your opinion. And you can oppose it up to a certain degree, but when you passed that degree it's best you shut the fuck up. And the fact that ur saying I need view. uhh...that statement makes no sense, "then you need a bit of perspective, thanks." I'm not sure what you're trying to say, and you're very vague with your meaning and structure....your view, others view? If you mean that, I don't need to look into other people's prespectives, that is why I am entitled to keeping my own. And no body is fuckin whining. If you read my first post after LAPOLETA then you would see that that is how "I VIEW" Ultra05. I thought it was great with a few MINOR flaws, so no one is fuckin whining. If anything, I thnk your too caught up in how I feel about something, and are wasting your time trying to get me to think differently. I think you should go else where if you want to waste your time.

Sorry. I did not mean to offend you by calling them crackass. I was just heated up in the moment, so burst with some degree of vulgarity. Please excuse that. BUT, I didn't think they were all great, but if it makes you happy, I'm not going to stay home and I will be attanding Ultra06. thanks for calling me a stuck up trance snob...I will be sure not to post you, please do not bother posting me

My entire point is that Ultra has to try and please everyone. It certainly can not please everyone by playing 14 hours of trance on the mainstage like you want. I can respect the fact that you personally would like 14 hours of trance on the mainstage, but the promoters of Ultra must take into consideration the feelings, tastes, and opinions of everyone. And most everyone wants to see "crackass Underworld." This isn't speculation: just look around for ultra reviews and see how much people loved underworld.

I can certainly respect your personal opinion of them, but constantly in your arguments you make assumptions as if the whole party is supposed to revolve around you, that this 1 act you do not like but most everyone does should be taken elsewhere so that you may have the luxury of only hearing what you want to hear, without having to give up your killer seats. You want to hear strictly trance in the main arena, and nothing else. And I certainly respect your opinoin, I'd have to say its pretty ignorant. Ultra's promoters have to try and please everyone, which is impossible by making the mainstage 14 hours of pure trance. Its also very unfair to others to desire to have only what you want to hear on the mainstage so that you personally may keep your seats all day, instead of having to move around and potentially sacreficing your seats like everyone else has to.

But whatever, you said you enjoyed ultra, so thats good.

have they announced any of the talent for this year yet?

My whole point is that you're basically wasting your time trying to prove a point against my opinions. I also appreciate the fact that you respect my opnions, but you are contradicting this statement by actually going on and saying: "BUT..." You can pull out whichever statement from my posts, but talk about how it's wrong and how everyone should be suited, and not just me. Reading reviews does not account for the general population, and I am not taking your statistics to account for the truth. Everyone may have to sacrifice their seats, as I did as well, but my point in posting in the first place about seating, was that I did not like the hassle of moving to see one dj while another great dj is spinning. But anyhow, again, you are wasting your time picking out quotes and posting upon them, since the general picture seems to be that my preferations remain, and your numerous posts (some which you would like to PROVE that my statement is not right when compared to numbers, yet you don't know what those numbers are) after mine. That is the more ignorant thing I have came across. Please do not post-reply anymore, you have made your point clear. And your point is not effective, so posting it 10 times will not make it more effective, but less.

But yes, I am going to Ultra, so that's good.

dates/line up? please

March 6 lineup TBA

I'm hoping that Ultra06 is a little later in year, maybe early April. Spring break ya know? :-P

Well, either way, many cars full of many Europeans and Middle Easterns will be driving down to MIAMI! Oh who cares about that...but Going on a plane would be hassle-free, but I like the car experience. :-P

Well, I've been curious and I wanted to ask a question. I think that the Winter Music Conference and Ultra are related. How so? I wanted to get down a little before Ultra's date because there's some dates that the Dj's will be doing something...I'm not sure what it is, but if someone understands what I'm saying, can they fill me in on this?


THANX,
Samira

So...what is happening the 7th through 10th? Is the WMC being held somewhere open to the public? Can we get tix now or what? Where could I get Ultra tix as of now? And does anyone know who is most likely going to be on the line-up?
