No i didn't not expect anything better from the crowd, i know Tiesto brngs out the worst in elecotric clubs, due to the countless newbies who just love Traffic and Adagio for Strings and hope to find some fucked up girls on E or something lol. But yes, i was deeply dissapointed by his performance last night and the vibe he sent to the crowd. I can say Armin was completly the apposite in any way you can think of ,a month ago when i went to see him at Dragonfly. And to top the bad impression Tiesto has already made on me last night, my 2 friends who went back stage with tiesto told me about his charming skills aka "Suck my dick" I don't think im being harsh at all. Someone like him should ALWAYS be gratefull to his fans, because he is there ONLY cause of them and nothing else. Theres always someone better waiting to take his place, his #1 cause of one reason only...POPULARITY! Liked Tiesto back in the days ... poop on him now :-) sorry!

| Originally posted by LOT2005 To be honest though, i was MOST dissapointed by his interaction with the crowd, his long "fuck this" face ... not the attitude i would expect from a DJ of his caliber. The guy couldnt wait to get to his hotel... not cool |
That period was one of the best...
) (no it was not played at Dragonfly -- WHICH IS AN AWESOME CLUB...I guess I should share my 2 cents on the club -- but in my car)

HE IS NOT ARMIN nd will never be... simple.... u dont like his style u can bitch about it but really nothin can be done....u can boycott all his events thats fine too...guess what there are still million others who will pay $60 to go see him... |

| Originally posted by dnmr I 100% AGREE with you! I had an amazing time because I went into this event knowing pretty much exactly what to expect. I stayed away from the front and partied with the people I came with. If you can't accept the fact that this "shite" is going to happen at Tiesto events then maybe you shouldn't be going. |
Actually, as we were driving down there, my friends were like "oh shit, i forgot to bring a t-shirt for Tiesto to sign" and i said " This isn't Armin, good thing you didn't cause you would only be carrying it with you" I knew what to expect and didn't expect much, and i got less, which is totally fine with me since i had a good time regardless, but not due to tiesto's "skills". If it wasnt for the people i partied with last night (no need to mention them since they know who they are) and for MO beats, especially after Tiesto's set ... i would have sadly had to call last night "complete shiete" lol. I know you're a sucker for Tiesto & thats cool & im glad you had an awesome time last night too (that goes for all of you who were there) BUT would you honestly say that Tiesto's set, vine, and attitude he had going last night was worlds #1 Dj caliber ?!?!

| Originally posted by LOT2005 How about not seeing Tiesto anymore period ?!?! It's not like he'll be a different man in Holland or the people are miracoulously special over there. |
i hate commercialism they make so much money and act so shitty and just dont care cause they have the marketing dollars to keep on keepin on and yet there are people that totally support that.
this is why u'd never see me at a tiesto show i like interaction, joy, expression, passion, good times, good crowd, good vibe, intimate events is where im at u can catch me at one....not so soon but hopefully soonish
nada...we still have to actually party together not just u makin hearts across the room cause i love antoine LOL! xo
prolly be around in sept...attalla starts his residency woot!
Twas my first time seeing Tiesto, thank you Dave (dc ajaxs) for getting me a ticket. Unfortunately, I don't think I'd go back. In fact, I'm not sure I'm cut out for the all night partying anymore. I felt like garbage by 2 am, and had to just sit back (well, lean back against those weird lookin poles) and listen, rather than participate (which, by the way, is just as interesting... it doesn't mean i'm not having a good time)
I AM glad I came out, it was an experience. Dragonfly is a very nice club, it's probably not so bad when it isn't a big name night. The dancefloor and perimetre areas were starting to clear around 2, 230, so it wasn't bad back there. Some people tho, they don't know how to act around big crowds when they're dancing or walking by. I expected minor shoving and such, but some of the dancers just didn't care - they'd be running into everyone (two hilarious cases for example: on the dance floor, during MO, one REALLY sketched out italian guy was hitting me and Andrea and he turned to us and he was like, "oh man! you guys gotta forgive me, i'm so fuckin high i can't even figure it out" and he like, put us up in front of him so that we had more space, which was nice of him but it didn't change anything... the second was this older guy, looked gino, wearing the ugliest muscle shirt i've ever seen, dancing in the walking paths of everyone heading to the washroom and stuff... he kept running into us but he didn't say anything. Then to make matters worse, he farted and was like, wafting it in our direction)
I thought Mark Oliver did an amazing job. I can't recall in recent memory actually hearing him play, though I'm sure I have. The only downside was that he (in my opinion) was playing more random tracks than what I heard of Tiesto (we left around 330). And I felt he was dragging out the transitions of tracks a little too long. And then right before Tiesto came on, it was blah. BUT then Tiesto came on and it was like DUDE. I think that place is a little small for a guy like him. Anyway, moment of the night for me - I'm chillin at the back, wedged between a subwoofer and the pole, cuz it was the only safe place, 3 songs into Tiesto's set and (I believe) Mind Circus comes on and WHOOSH - everyone threw their hands up and just was like, "OHHHHHHH!!!" I laughed, but it was the best moment of music ever for me.
Now that I've written a novel, I'll wrap it up... I'm sorry that I wasn't as social as normal (LAURA i'm glad I saw you, JENN you rock, MILOS it was nice to meet you and FAHAD FUCKIN RIGHT) everyone I'm sorry I missed you guys, but I couldn't do it last night, I was just beat.
I won't be attending Labour of Love, but I hope you guys have fun if you go.
~~~~~~~~~~~~Owned by Tiesto~~~~~~~~~~~~~ sound's a little weird to me after last night :P can we do something about that Ania ?!?!

Seems to me there are 2 different kinds of people when it comes being successful and in the spotlight. The arrogant "bigger than life" kind. And the humble, grateful kind.
Tiesto needs to remember that he is just a DJ/Producer. He's no movie star. He should be grateful to be able to do something he once enjoyed (but obviously not anymore) and make a lot of money doing it. His recent sets and albums show that he is not hungry anymore and doesnt have the fire and passion in his work. Having BT basically produce his last album proves this.
If he doesnt want to sign autographs thats fine, but to insult the people who pay lots of money to see him play records is bullshit. Ill never spend any money on his punk ass ever again.
As far as the club goes, I think its great. Yeah people were a little pushy, but thats to be expected I guess in a venue like this.
Off to PvD and Sander in NYC this weekend. It will be easy to forget last night.

And you are right on the money with that BT statement, he did produce his latest album which was very lame! I miss Sander

First of all DragonFly is a beautiful club, but the dj booth needs to be put in a different spot. Tiesto played an awesome set, but I noticed he dropped alot of tracks from Armin's ASOT 261 as well (which is an awesome ASOT) and of course he played some awesome classics.
I met some awesome people. I was alittle lost most of the night, not being able to find my friends.
Never drinking that much at DragonFly again.
Highlight of the night: Artic Monkey vs. Sander van Doorm - Sun goes down
