Originally posted by MeLLyMeL ummm... before you ask such a dumb question atleast give me a reason as to why he isn't arrogant (which he totally fuking is) and incase you don't know what the word means ar�ro�gant adj. 1. Having or displaying a sense of overbearing self-worth or self-importance. 2. Marked by or arising from a feeling or assumption of one's superiority toward others

please explain how using his popularity to acquire wealth is arrogant. How is his self-worth inflated because someone is giving him money to use his likeness and profit from his popularity? How does having a video game show he has a feeling that he is superior to other people?

The connection just isn't there. A prime example of arrogance is Donald Trump. Armin is just a guy profiting off of his popularity, which is no different than a baseball player being paid to promote a product.

Do you think Derek Jeter is arrogant? I've heard he is far from arrogant. Jeter does far more self-promotion than Armin van Buuren. How about Roger Federer? He uses his popularity to promote various products. I've heard the man is the most genuine athlete. What about Tiger Woods? Another example of an athlete acquiring substantial wealth from his popularity. Again, I've heard the man is a real down-to-earth chill guy.

hahahaha, that was a good one sir.

But back to the others... If I was Armin, I'd be milking the #1 DJ spot for all it's worth too. Why the hell not?

That's like Tiger Woods becoming the best golfer and saying, "ah fuck it, no reason to get my name out there with all these offers, I'd rather be a nobody and make about 1% of what I know I COULD make."

If you could do what you love and get paid millions for it, wouldn't you do the same thing?

Maybe at a young age you think that "improving the scene" is what matters... but when you get older or if you're business-minded, you start to realize that securing your future is a bit more important. Armin's doing the right thing for himself, that's for sure... and obviously he's winning over new fans by doing what he's doing too.

Can't please em' all...

if the game is based only on doing armin moves and poses
clearly me and you would beat the game within the first few hours of purchase

hahaha, exactly.

I pretty much guarantee you that if someone put $500,000 - $1,000,000 in cash, directly in front of you, saying that if you put your name on this video game, it's yours, you would take the money.

Here's an example that is slightly more analogous: shawn white does HP commericals, is he arrogant? Snowboarders who get too big are definitely called sell-outs by their peers. Nevertheless, i've never heard anyone call shawn white arrogant. He's definitely a sell out to many snowboarders, but most people like the kid. I've met the kid too, he's certainly not arrogant.

woah now.. look who the cool ones are - defending their hero vs talking shit about someone they have never met on the internet.

haha. honestly though me - fat - and a bull dyke .. oh the best one - dj'ing in my room. Oh and young so you must think I have no "experience"! :hahahahahahahahaha:

I think you have the tables turned. Getting offended because someone talks shit about your fav dj. Give me a break. I swear - you guys are funny.

thanks for the laughs!
xxxx


I haven't supported a party for Armin since the first time he played at club space (not during WMC) and that was Oct 2005 . If I went - it was free and I was bored. I spend my money for much better folks

melly mel is really rosie o donnell
fat bull dyke

lol.. I won't deny that I am a fat loving titty sucking whore!

I am gonna go back to the cor and talk about colon cleansing rather than stay in a fan boy thread.

armin could lick my balls, i don't give a shit about the man. you were just making a baseless claim that made little sense.

considering i don't insult people online by calling them names, i know that wasn't directly in reference to me, but you said, "guys," which leads me to believe my post was in mind when you drafted your post. As such, I felt the need to respond. anyway....lo siento, i'm not trying to start trouble, but your claim is pretty ridiculous.

same here... i'm just saying that if i was put in his situation, i'd be doing the exact same things as him...

he's being logical and ethical

think about who watches golf. prior to the implosion of GM, buick was probably one of the largest advertisers for golfing events.

hahaha, better than Kia or Hyundai I guess...

Originally posted by Neo95gt Nobody that knows him has one bad thing to say about him. But some random fat bulldyke thinks he's an arrogant douchebag because he said yes to putting his face on a video game, the nerve of that fuker!

This is complete truth. Armin is definitely intelligent and great at marketing, but the one thing that is true is that he is not arrogant, whether he is "selling out" or not.

Regardless anyone likes him or likes what he plays, I'll vouch for him in that he's concerned about his fans because he (or at least SOMEONE does if not him anymore) reads all his emails. He's played two Armin tracks at two events that probably wouldn't normally be on his playlist for that particular year (AvB love you more) and has given a radio shoutout for me in one of his ASOTs as well.

Regardless of how shitty of a product he might endorse or how much someone else may dislike the music he produces and/or plays, he has a lot of loyal fans that respect him for being loyal to his fans.

Say what you want but the people behind Guitar Hear games are coming out with bull%hit called DJ Hero so this was bound to happen either way

OK, half the people seem to be extremely confused about something. This isnt about turning down $ from the game. This is about drawing a line. That knee grow is already rich, and if he's going to make a nintendo game it wont fucking kill him to cut his profits on that a little bit by not choosing all cheesy armada garbage tracks for it (which im sure he's planning to do). Instead he could chose some amazing tunes with a little depth to them that he used to play even 1-2 years back.

Big name DJs dont have to try. Whatever theyll play will sell. As a consequence they play mainly music they will make profit from. If you haven't noticed how much worse new ASOT episodes are compared to 2007 for example, please just look at any random tracklist of asot 2007 and think about the tunes.

This thread is dissapointing and is what is killing EDM in the US.

Even if the game were to suck, it will introduce Trance to more people in the US.
