Is Tiesto taking?

I read some where that Tiesto is taking away the real meaning of going to a rave and what it's like seeing your friends and enjoying the music for what it is and not just going to a rave because of one guy. Agree or Disagree?

i know what ur saying whenever u see these big name djs like tiesto u can guarantee that the front 10 rows of people on the dance floor will just be tiesto geeks with the tiesto t-shirts on waveing there arms in the air. They will only be there to get a glimpse of tiesto couldnt care less about the music he plays they might not even like it. tiesto could play a crappy pop song while doing shit mixing but u can still guarantee that those people will be chanting his name.
Pretty sad really

i disagree.
one man will not dictate whether or not i see my friends and enjoy music.
unless that man can provide me with unlimited beer.
... and my friends.

tiesto's a chump.


Posted by butterball on Feb-27-2006 22:10:

ya i disagree myself..because if you thought that way about tiesto then they wouldn't have to go support him. But i understand what you mean when you say he could play a really gay song and people would love it. I bet he could and ya haha..But also i seem to get a different point of view when 2 dj's spin the same song. i don't know but thats me.

I used to be one of those DJ Worhisppers until really recently (in the past few months) that I snapped out of it and now i've been more into producers and the actual tunes then the DJs who play them. I think I could care less who plays what, as long as what they are playing is GOOD.

why do you bash only tiesto?
there are lots of djs with a good marketing out there too, heh...

Front row Tiesto geek! I ditched my best friend just so I could get in 2 hours early to get up there. I mean, that's incredible to jump up 7 feet in the air and touch those marvelous fingertips, to watch him do that chicken dance of his, to hold up a vinyl of 643 and have him look at you and it and give the 'hmm...' face and play it 10 minutes later. He even laughed when I said "you are nuts". Of course I appreciate his music; I belong up front! Not these jerkoffs that dunno what EDM even is, nor who he is, but are too doped out of their minds to give a shit.

Tell you what though, nothing compares to hugging Ferry

Thank you!!!

There are no more raves!!! Its over, stop dreaming, I never went to one, but I would have loved to... but thanks to the rave act...

No matter what, big name or little... your still going for fun, to hear great music, dance and be with friends...

And seeing tiesto with friends... an awesome time... Area 2 Toronto baby

Going out for the music stopped when people started facing the DJ.

So its nothing new.

Its probaly just a ploy for Ishkur to sell a few more T-Shirts.

What i find funny is that most people who use the term raver werent around during that time.
Everyone who went to wharehouse parties at secret locations and would hack up black dust the next day early to mid 90's style raise their hand.
*raises hand*

what we have today is anything but that....embrace it, it means the scene has grown and cheesy dj's like Tiesto or not its for the better.
You are not a raver because you bought glowsticks and took a pill.
the music is accessible to everyone, it was most certainly not before...

just because you dont like someone dosent mean you have to be a baby about it

agree... to the tiesto bashers... we know, he is not the best but hes not horrible... IMO and many others, He is really good... but just like every dj, he has his highs and his lows... I really dont like it when people bash dj's... any dj... many people think its all turned into a big contest of who the coolest is... and well i dont care... i like who i like, you like who you like... sure a little pointing out the flaws is good but... it gets carried away... imo...

so let me get this straight. the fact that a DJ is performing somewhere someplace is taking away all the pleasure out of the experience?

if you want to enjoy the music, you will have enjoyed it whomever is headlining whichever event.

it's like any party. you and your friends would be there for the sole purpose of having fun and enjoying yourselves. why would you let the guy who is playing the music deter you from individual happiness?

god damn what an elitist attitude...

It isnt our fault you dont go to parties at undisclosed locations any more. I can however assure you that despite the rave act. The spirit lives on.

For instance our parties float around from club to club. They cover all glass with that tint shit that sticks, and put up sound insulation on a specific night... but then next week the same thing happens somewhere different.

Here, when the party would make its way to The Industry it was just as damn good as a rave because it was an old ass 2 story warehouse, and they left it lookin beat up and abandoned. That place kicked ass. But still the party moves

think of me aas an elitist if you want to.I think im more of a realist.
Rave is dead...get over it.
1.the internet(also the main source of edm for most)was not as common and advanced therefore the music wasnt available like it is today.
2.I saw Sasha,Sven Vath,Orbital all at undisclosed locations.If i wanted to see a "big" name(non existent back then...edm wasnt even a speck on the map) i had no choice but to go to raves.Today the larger producers and dj's play in clubs.Back in the day any club that would host these events were promptly shut down.
3.The spirit might live on, but its not the same.People can wear tye dye and try to recreate the free love and hippie movement of the 60's, but they can never get it back.Things come and go through generations...its just the way it is.

Your argument is similar to saying the grunge movement is still alive because you wear ripped flannel shirts...get real.

and lmao at it looked like an old warehouse...esthetics have nothing to do with the term rave.It was a movement.
