Opinions are like assholes. Everyone has one. Does that answer your question? Yes? Good!

Different styles different taste.. He's a great DJ great producer. IMO it's only Paul van Dyk that might beat him..

Just curious about your angel.

My angel?

Anyway, its not that he's really really horrifically bad. Its just he's not very good. Or as good as a lot of people make him out to be

I'll agree with that.

Armin imo is a much better dj.

I buy that.
But most ppl are not qualified to judge about the dj skills at this level. Know for sure I'm not.. don't say you guys don't know what you are talking about, but seems there is kind of "trend" in througing shit at for example Tiesto.
But this is just my opinion..

Posted by AndskiSpeed on Jul-15-2003 19:21:

Hm, I don't see why we can't judge 'at this level' on how good a DJ is. I don't not like Tiesto because of a trend, I used to like him, but since listening to more and more sets over the months, I realise his mixing isn't that good compared to other DJ's, especially his beatmatching (eg as 13am said Armin van Buuren).

Posted by chjo on Jul-15-2003 19:53:

Oki, I rest my case.. might be as you say. I'm not that into dj'ing myself, so don't hear the minor differences.

Still a Tiesto fan

Posted by skip on Jul-15-2003 20:00:

IMO tiësto is a lot better dj than armin! armin's sets are always pretty bland IMO. tiësto's sets rule much more IMO! but hey that's just me! everyone has their opinions and they should all be respected!

Posted by AndskiSpeed on Jul-15-2003 20:03:

But of course

The fact that he is an awesome producer!!!! I love his remix of the track Tears From The Moon. He is a pioneer. He plays new awesome tracers way before any other DJ starts spinning them. His mixing can use some work though

Well I dunno about whether he gets all the best trancers before any other DJ, anyway just thought I'd mention I'm a fan of his productions heh

sigh...every tiesto thread in here always end into a flame war *rolleyes

i just have one thing to say:

TIESTO RULES!!!!!!!!

Posted by dj adagnitio on Jul-15-2003 20:26:

I used to agree with a lot of you, and thought Tiesto was a genious and the best producer out there. But latelly Ive realized he actually isnt all that good, at least in my opinion. All of my favorite tracks of his were produced by him with other producers, such as:

All the Kamaya Painters stuff with Benno De Goeij
All the Allure and Hammock Brothers stuff with Cor Fijnemen
All the Gouryella stuff with Ferry Corsten
Major League - Wonder (with Armin)
Vimana - we came & dreamtime (with Ferry Corsten)
Alibi - Eternity (with Armin)
Control freaks - subspace interference (with Benno De Goeij and Piet Bervoets)
Tiesto - Suburban Train (With Kid vicious)

Some of the tracks hes done on his own are good, but in my opinion none of them are really exceptional. for example:
Flight 643
Sparkles (It was only the Transa mix that was really amazing)
Theme from norefjell
Lethal Industry
Nyana

As for DJing I would say that hes not technincly exceptional. He can really build a set however. For example the Magik and In search of Sunrise series. Although the order on Nyana is in my opinion kind of sub par.

At least we didn't have a big UKTA style fight. Bless

Posted by Jesse on Jul-15-2003 23:22:

and the bashing has begun...

really..i don't know if you all have seen/heard tiesto spin live or just listen to mp3 versions of his sets, but i've seen him on several occasions and i can say that his mixing is excellent and he can really build a great set (evening).

don't just say his mixing is shit or 'he ain't all that'...come up with good arguments in stead of plain and simple bashing.

and the point made of different tastes...well put! But please, respect eachothers opinions!

Posted by Monkey Mouse on Jul-15-2003 23:32:

I think that Tiesto is best at remixing other artist's work. His own stuff is not up to the level of his remixes.

Songs like:

Green Court - Shining
Goldenscan - Sunrise
DJ Cor Finjeman - Venus
Delerium remixes
BT - Dreaming

And a few others I can't remember.

Oh yeah, Lethal Industry and Only in my MEmory are his best original productions (at least as far as what I personally own).

Posted by AndskiSpeed on Jul-15-2003 23:32:

Hey I didn't bash him... well maybe a little heh, I just said that I don't know why people think he's as good as he is. But if you listen to his sets, his mixing is definitely not as good as say... well I've only recently listened to ASOT recently really. But the mixing by Armin is so much better than by Tiesto.

And if I saw Tiesto live I'd love it. Its just that sitting at home sober listening to a Tiesto set and then listening to an AvB set (not an ASOT one) its obvious whos mixing is the best.

Tiesto certainly has made some good productions and remixes though. I think he deserves the credit for those.
