Why do I see alot of "Before Tiesto let #1 go to his head" and other posts referring to him as some kind of stuck up, primadonna asshole? I really saw the boo birds come out in full force when he didn't show to accept his third #1 DJ Mag award, but what alot of people forget was he was trying to perfect a magic trick for T.i.C. 2 and I think that takes precedence over accepting an award. In fact, were he to have accepted the award over perfecting his show for the fans, that would have been some shit. He has become bigger than any DJ ever... ok, I'll give you that. However, can you fault him for trying to maximize not only his own potential, but that of his label, sound, and profession? After all this is the music of the masses and if he can sell out European soccer domes in only days, I say carry on. I hate to use such a cheesy cliche, but "Don't hate, congratulate." It's not his fault others aren't stepping up to the plate with similar inspiring aspirations.

Has his style changed since breaking through with his mix of silence? Sure, but whose hasn't? Does PvD, Marco, or anyone else sound the way they used to? I would say no to most and that is because, as everyone knows, styles evolve.

Another weird complaint I hear is "Oh, he sold out. He did a song with BT." SO FUCKING WHAT?!? First off, that song was and still is (IMO) badass. Second, alot of those same people probably loved it UNTIL they found out BT was in it and, third, It's not like he's remixing Justin Timberlake or anyone like that.

The last common complaint is that all the kids/ravers come out for him. Again, I reiterate, SO FUCKING WHAT?!? I agree they alter the vibe a little, but I want to be lost in the music and I won't let any punk kid with glowsticks run me off. I am here to stay and so is Tijs... my only hope is that we can enjoy his brilliance instead of doing the typical American routine of building them up to watch them fall

Thank you

Jangles

I agree with you Jangles.

I had the honor of doing a phone interview with Tijs and then got to meet him backstage at his show in Tampa. He was very friendly and spoke very favorablly of Tampa. His manager was a bit on the pushy side, but I guess that's to be expected. But seriously, the guy is no primadonna. He's extremely successful, but still took the time to talk to a little ole Tampa Tribune reporter and even remembered my name when I finally got to meet him.

Now...Oakenfold on the other hand...

I totally agree with you Jangles, though I might differentiate with you in the fact that Im not a TRUE fan for any of the top 5 DJ's of the world heh. Sadly, we live in an envious, greedy world.. where not even in TA you will escape this. I could find critics for any DJ.. hell even PvD.. I dont know why PvD whores bash Tiesto, hence PvD attracts the same crowd.. and even repeats the songs 5 times a set.. but hey, I still love PvD gigs as much as I can love the Tiesto gigs. The thing is.. people have become Spoiled after getting the chance of receiving a whole new access of DJ's since the turn of the century.. before, no one would be bitching, but the other way around.. asking for them heh.. but hey, this seems more complex then it actually seems though.. but I understand your point.. is been explained 1000000 times.. and it wont change a thing ;-) .. one just has to adapt to it, live with it..
