no, you don't say?


I was a massive Tiesto fan from about 99/2000 to 2003. He's been utter shit since 2004.

big dance music events have become something to be seen at (at least thats the case here, but I know Summadayze in Melb is a bit like that though). Its just fashionable people going because its the thing to do. Go to a Stereosonic, Parklife, Future, there are a lot of people who don't have much interest in the music, they're just going because its the thing to do.







I'll stop being a jaded fuck now.

I cant really comment on his last tour, but his Elements of Life tour was probably one of the top 5 sets i have heard live. This was the first time i had seen him though and alot of jaded people reckon pre-2003 he was even better.

I avoided this tour because i didnt really want to ruin my good memories of him, i sussed out his set lists and even though it looked okay at best thought i would give him a miss. I think if you compare it to other electro or house sets it is okay, but has a trance set it fails.

I think thats the mistake alot of people make. Tiesto isnt trance or techno anymore.

And sorry but his a dj, he makes a living playing other peoples music just like 99% of the djs in the world, you cant fault him on that. Dj'ing and production is totally different.

I went to his last one (I think it was late 2008 or early 2009? To be honest, he was fucking brilliant. The track selection was top notch and the production values of the show were fantastic.

Didn't go to this latest ones but it hasn't been getting great reviews. Ah well, I hardly go clubbing any more anyway, plus I'm listening to a lot more house and prog than trance anyway.

Just go to see DJs who you like at the time, forget the status of them and what they may have been like in the past.

Originally posted by I_Is_Aydin To sum it all up, who once was a great Trance DJ who played good music is now just a heap of shit who goes around playing mainstream crap for more $$$. People who sell themselves out like this don't deserve respect in my opinion because a) They're richer than I am so if I don't require selling myself out then why reduce yourself that low just for the sake of money and b) Remember why you are here in the first place, dumb shit songs from your kaleidoscope album aren't the reason you're respected, it's the reason why you are at present being despised.

A few things, trance has been for a long time the e-pop, the amoeba's and bacteria's of the electronic music scene, the lowest form of life that still manages to spit out the odd genuinely good track... but it really is mostly just complete crap. In fact I don't think since about 2007 I've actually sat down and grabbed a shovel to dig through the sheer amount of trance crap just to find that little nugget of good music. I simply don't have the time It's much easier to-
Give up
Find a recommendation from someone here
Listen to any number of progressive electronic genres

Lastly, Tiesto is a mainstream DJ, he has been since most of the people on this board where back in school being complete dorks. He did do some great stuff in the early 00's, heck I've still got some favourite remixes from that era that he did. But, it stopped and I stopped listening and quite happy to heckle from the sidelines on TA where no one famous comes anyway.
Trance DJ's are 'too cool' to come here and talk to the punters
They're too busy off getting T-shirts printed, their names on rubbish sneakers and finding a metric arseload of rubbish tracks that fist pumping drunken spastics and etards can jump around when they hear it.

However,
I'm also pragmatic enough to understand 'why' they do it, most industries are unforgiving of fools, the music industry from what I know is even more vicious and the smarter ones get with the act pretty quick smart or they just simply fade away into obscurity. So, he's done quite well at least getting some money squirreled away for retirement one day, which is a very important thing to do in his industry which one day may just simply turn on him and many other's with little or no warning.
For the cool tunes he did, I thank him
For the common sense to punch out of a dead genre I understand
I don't go to his shows because they hold no interest for me, that's life, jog on.
