Asking Tiesto a Question

So lets say I have the oppertunity to ask Tiesto a few Questions, what would they be?

My friend has a 1 hour sit down interview with him on the 11th at Aria and he asked for a few questions to ask. We are looking for intelligent ones, not ones like "so whats your favourite song". Thought provoking stuff. Post away

Wow...what a lucky gf...i'm so jealous...
I have a question for Tiesto.

With his insane schedule of traveling, producing, playing gigs, jetlag, and losing sleep he always looks healthy, upbeat, and full of energy...how does he keep up the crazy pace?


Another thing I've always wondered is what does he use to produce tracks - laptop and software wise


THANKS!!!!!

GF???? lol. i dont swing that way (she is a punker btw...but im changing her)

But good Q, keep em comming

Ampz

oh youre friend?!!?? hahaha for some reason i read gf before...whops hahah....and yeah sorry buddy!

Ahhhh....sooo yeah....uhmmmm.....let see ....ahhhhh....oh yeah....Whats your fave track ?

Id ask him how he can justify making 10s of thousands of dollars to play average sets. Id then ask "dont you think that for 10s of thousands of dollars that you should be doing something special like playing on 3 or 4 turntables all night, scratching, playing records with your feet or ANYTHING that would stand you out among the rest?"
Followed with the comment "just because youve produced a few good tunes doesnt make you a DJ"

(i feel a TA flame war coming on LOL)

For the record: RELAX these are my opinions... you are entitled to have your own...

If you have your opinion you shouldn't post it in this thread

Obviously this is for "relevant" and "positive" questions

people asked for the question they would ask.... Those are mine!

End of story....

I would not agree with you, trance is not that kind of EDM where u can play on 3-4 turntables, do lots of scratching, etc...
But you're right, DJ'ing is overrated right now ,but these times will be over soon I think .

1 hour sitdown at aria!?!?!? yeah sure, more like 5 minutes on the rush

as for the

easy: white powder


I would ask this, what does he prefer, concentrating his energies at fucking one girl a night, or spread it out for a threesomes? or foursomes?

p.s. bonus questins: does he reimburse the cover fee to the female fans he brings to his hotel room

heheh i aint joking

Two things:

- supply and demand
- Personal opinion of "average"

You forget what the purpose of a DJ is. To get people dancing. To entertain. He does that, and he does it well.

Its not DJing thats over rated. Its certain DJs who are.

If Tiesto came in and did all kinds of crazy things like say Jeff Mills or even Cox then the salary would be justified.

Who does his hair?

How does he drink his coffee?

As for then

I don't think so cause there was this whole big thing/argument on the Tiesto forums at the end of which the official representatives of Tiesto came on to say that he has never done it, hardly ever had a joint and shut downt he discussion...so yeah i mean i dont know but i'd like to hear his answer to that...

And about the threesomes lol...Isn't he getting married?

but Jeff and Carl play techno. There is a lot more to be manipulated/experiemented with when you play techno. The music is more linear, more easily layered, and it's easier to play one record for 2 or 3 minutes. In trance you can't do that.

I respect tiesto b/c he is the one trance DJ who (I think) really pushes the boundaries with his fans...he throws in techno, or progressive, knowing full well a lot of people won't like it.

I know when I hear tiesto at Aria next weekend, I'm going to hear some hard beats.

---

With respect to the topic of this thread, I would like to know what his feelings are about playing techno. Did he really offer to play at awakenings? (big rumor in the techno community)

ask tiesto why he wears extremely tight tshirts, that make his nipples jump out at the crowd.

Pics or STFU

Ask him if he sometimes just wants to go out into the crowd and dance rather than DJ.

Hey that's a good one

Did you get into DJing/producing for the sex, drugs, beats and money or are you just too lazy to do a regular job?

How many female candy kids can you fit into one hotel room?
