Unfortunately youre right...there's not nearly enough people here that would come to see that

Originally posted by starsearcher ^^ Yup sounds about right...And I'm all up for cleaner and safer, i don't need drugs to party, nobody does...and if you need drugs to have a good time then youre just foolin' yourself hehe But think I'm the only clean dude here...

Umm, tell that to your GOD Tiesto -- unless i'm mistake, he was high on E when he recorded one of his sets for Magik series (6 or 7). His elevated state was probably responsible for all the 'love' he felt the crowd was giving him, and brought him to tears. Then again, he was probably just foolin' himself as well.

Drug use and electronic music parties go hand in hand...where there is one, there will always be the other. Moderation is the key, and personal responsibility is what's needed, not a police crackdown.

yup, thats soo true, if people are gonna use drugs they had better be carefull. take them in moderation, dont mix them with any other drugs, only get drugs from people you trust and keep hydrated. drugs are really bad if abused but can be fun if enough caution is taken.

Dammit i wish i still had the fliers for the skydome rave. I specifically remember what it looked like too. It was blue for one....

I wonder where people get that kind of information. The only person who would know for sure would be Tiesto, and I doubt he would tell anyone. No need to spread rumours please..

I can't imagine how bad that would sound in that building.

Well they had many concerts in there (bands like U2, Depeche Mode...) I am sure they can set someting good up...I doubt that the stadium in Amsterdam is much different

so i guess Sasha's love for the white stuff is rumors too huh ? Come on Durafei, i'm not saying Tiesto is a pill monster, but he has done drugs -- this has been documented by people who have partied alongside him. I've seen him a few times where he was definately drunk and probably high as well.

Anyway, since you probably want some proof i'm just going to paste an excerpt from a Tiesto interview.

Superglo: have you ever had an experience with any substance?

Tiesto: Yea I had experiences with drugs, but more soft drugs. I never did hard drugs, but i did uh... I smoked some weed - I'm from Holland you know - and I tried some herbal Ecstacy.

[The herbal Ecstacy] was really strange for my head. I couldn't mix any records, I couldn't hear the beats, because everything I was hearing was delayed for a half-second. So I was mixing in a club and everyone was watching me like 'hey, he can't mix anymore!'. So I thought: I could never do drugs when I was DJing, because then I would fuck up a whole lot!



Herbal Esctasy...Rigggght. I guess he had to say it for the interview, afterall, you can't admit you do hard drugs, not with legions of fans like Starsearcher who look up to you as the stright edge GOD.

Interesting though how he links doing drugs with his inability to mix. Should we infer then that when Tiesto has given performances where he has wrecked on more then a few occasions that he was under the influence of some, umm...what did he call it again ? oh yeah, herbal Ecstacy ?

Ultimately it shouldn't matter, because Tiesto is an adult and capable of determining how much of any substance he should do. My statement wasn't so much an attack on Tiesto as a comment that there is a high percentage of DJ's as well as Clubbers who at some point have consumed and partied under the influence of drugs. If you don't want to accept what is common knowledge to most clubbers then fine, keep your blinders on, just don't call it a rumor.

Originally posted by Skipper Most of the bitching on this board is done in Guvernment's general direction. Which is why I hope the investigation ends up there at some point. Toronto's clubscene is doing quite well, I think. I certainly find myself with choices every weekend - too many, sometimes.

i think so. i dont recall people being so excited for summer last year, as they were this year!

lots of talent, and lots of parties. Fine we may not have 20,000 people gatherings, but we do have WEMF, 10 years strong to boot!

i dont think he was denying that djs/drugs mix, just that specific case and point, to which you were refering.

I agree with you there...I'd love to see the cops police areas known for violence and severe overcrowding and just leave the rest alone. When was the last time that someone high on e actually hurt someone else? Who exactly is demanding that police "crack down" on the club district? Whose interests is this crackdown serving? NO ONE!!!

FFS, the general public can be so misinformed and paranoid sometimes

Well there two deaths related to extasy not long ago...and there was a big hoop laa about it too in the media and everything...and someone I know head a heart attack - also extasy and drug related...and there are more cases that kinda go under the radar...

They aren't hurting someone else but themselves...that's the problem

its human nature to fear what you dont know, isnt it?





common people, yes the city shut down parties on Gov property, but its not like they shut down the scene alltogether, just moved it to a more regulated area, wherer there are rules and standards; which in our (TO) case have not been followed. But we know cause there were some sort of guidlines in place, to measure against.

Originally posted by Jayx1 When the media and cops start focussing in on the club scene its never a good thing. Proof? How many 20,000 person syrous raves happen in Toronto in 2004 for example? Look for the city to impose ridiculous rules similar to what they did in 2000 that effectively killed the rave scene.

And this is a bad thing because?

Syrous parties where the absolute worst, the last thing Id want is a party with 5,000 let alone 20,000.

The rave scene died for the same reason disco did, it was a fad. There are many cities that didnt have ridiculous laws imposed and the scene still died.

Im for one am happy that when I go to a good party now Im going with true trance lovers and not band wagon jumpers who wanted the cheapest thrill of some e. God bless those ridiculous rules from 2000!!!

we should tell "cambell" to inspect guv next time.

You guys sure have a hard on for The Guvernment. Everyone knows the place is crowded, (and yes over crowded) but what this article shows you is that they are no different than any other club in the city.

I'm not saying they shouldn't crack down on every club, but if any of you were the owners of a club you would be tempted to do the same thing. I'm going to hate to hear you guys complain when you are stuck outside the club because they are at capacity waiting for a couple of people to leave so you can get in.

Ultimately you are responsible for your own safety, there will always be people who push the boundaries and the bottom line is that you have to look out for yourself.

blah blah blah, yadda yadda yadda...


I say, let the cops do their thing and concentrate on removing that 2am last call for serving alcohol, or at least pushing it to 4-5am...

I'm not saying that Tiesto never did drugs. I'm just very very reluctant to believe that he was high WHILE he was recording magik 6 and/or 7.

fair enough, i might be mistaken about the actual event. Although, i am sure it was a large party, and he actually dropped a massive set, at the end of which he was at tears...and during the course of which, he was high on E.

do you guys think that we will find out what clubs when the actual charges come out or will these charges be swept under the table?

I've always been amused by the "straight shooters" here. In my experience, 9 out of 10 have never tried or even seen a pill. How can you profess to be "above" something you don't even understand? Very few people actually *need* drugs to enjoy a party - they use them for fun, just like other people use alcohol, it doesn't mean that they're "fooling" themselves when they're taking vitamins.

It's been my observation that many of the hardcore sober sisters and brothers who always rag on the rollers don't practice what they preach - they think they're special because they're less susceptible to peer pressure, and yet in order to have a good time they need to have the #1 popular DJ in their midst. Let me tell you something, drugs are like sex in a way, we can all live without it but abstinence doesn't necessarily make us better people. Not that there's anything wrong with partying sober, it's just the disdain toward everyone else that I think is ignorant and misinformed.

Unfortunately most of the public has the same view of drugs, and moreso, of raves or rave-related topics in general. I don't mind police attention to fire code issues, but media attention can't be good. Media culture thrives on blowing things out of proportion and it gives "concerned parents" an excuse to hear what they want to hear instead of learning all the facts. Not good, not good at all.
