If you knew that in 2015 Tiesto would be this:

would you have ever supported him?

Nice to see him going back to his gabber roots.

Just walk away, guys. It's over.

I remember seeing Tiesto and AvB at a relatively small venue back in 2004 or 2005 and it was actually a super fun night.

Of course I was 17 and on drugs, didn't know a damn thing about EDM. So it could have been awesome or awful. In my case: Awesome. The club I think only held 1000 people, but I'm pretty sure they let in way more than that despite regulations and shit. There was no air conditioning and to this day I don't understand how with all the pills (:gsmile in my system I didn't overheat and die.

Back on topic though, it doesn't surprise me that Tiesto is pandering to a crowd like that.

He helped (how much is unknown to me) bring EDM into the "spotlight", and the results are a few people of the "old guard" who actively still seek out good, somewhat lesser known EDM and the other billion or so teenagers who will forget EDM by the age of 19. (And the 17-19 crowd may not even know who Tiesto is, but because of the drugs and flashy lights and boom boom tunes spend big $$$ to go see him).

Maybe he's like the Paul McCartney of EDM now or some shit to some people. Their older brothers or something partied to this guy's music and now they go see him because he's a "legend" but don't really get it. I dunno.

Fuck me. He doesn't even like the shit he plays at all. Sad.

he/ his mngmt blocked me on twitter and FB cause I keep telling him he is the biggest front runner when it comes to American sports

rip

he's a business man now. he seen this edm sound coming up and capitalized on it. he dont give 2 shits about the music or his fans now. just the awards and being in the spot light
its a shame. i think like 15 years ago when he was starting to make his name known in the music scene he really did care about the music and taking people on a journey

It doesn't bother me. I've never been one to base my music identity around any one artist. For good or bad there's this tendency for people to cling to the past or a recognizable name. Whether its music or movies. With the common complaint that they've sold out.

Still don't understand how people can dance to this sort of stuff, let alone enjoy it. No soul, no emotion, no groove. It's like the first time I heard Dubstep in a club - it seemed like people were forcing themselves to dance to it, not knowing why or how.

If I can't get my Stanky leg on what's the point?

Hommage to Richard Simmons? Is he with child or had a really big meal before the photo shoot? Mom jean shorts are hot.

Looking back on it now, it's pretty obvious he was always the businessman. He was only doing the trance thing for as long as it was popular and then jumped ship as soon as the popularity started to fade, not to mention how he always had staff to produce his work for him.

And I'm not saying this in a negative way either. Some people are artists, some are businessmen.

I just kept busting his chops cause a few years ago he posted non stop how he I was the biggest New Orleans Saints fan...and then I called him out when he started tweeting about the seahawks or broncos


he also pro-claimed himself as a huge fan of the Washington Caps...then the past 2 seasons, he was all over the NY Rangers...

Sounds like he did you a favor. Why would you want to follow a fake douche?

This is him in one post.

I believe (well actually I know for a fact) that in the 90's when he was coming up he loved the music and made most of it himself.

It then got to a point where dance music could make you serious money. In the 90's that meant a few grand for a set - I remember when Junior vasquez was paid $60,000 for his final performance and it as such a big deal that it hit mainstream news. Now $60,000 doesn't get you 30 mins of any of the top 20 Dj's.

When Tiesto realized the money that could be made, he just said fuck it, time to cash in. All his tracks from that point on have been made by ghost writers and the funniest part of it is, that most people who got to know "Tiesto" when they were really just listening to a branding team and a puppet. He just showed up to fistpump and collect the check, like his SHM bretherin did.

He really doesn't give a fuck anymore. The offer of $40m a year will do that to you.

wtf why was there a "minions" balloon in that crowd too???

Also, Tiesto is 46 years old now. Not saying that just because you're older you can't do what you used to do; but man what a different man he is compared to 15-20 years ago.

Tiesto is now the Kobe of EDM. He will be making most of the shots until he retires.

You havent even seen Da Joker's final form yet.
