Notice its all the tranceheads that are the ones to disregard mixing and just enjoy a party for what its worth. Is that a coincidence!?

hmmm...fyi, you're on tranceaddict.com. it's expected of all members to find fault in everything.

nah, just the ppl who have been around forever. It's music, why say we cannot say something sucks...that's censorship imo.

Originally posted by StereoPrincess You should add that this is only your opinion. Its flawed to say that he is the only DJ that can do that in the world. To me he is not even close to bringing a theme in his sets. And Cyrus King, you forget that the DVD was shot in 2001, its 2004 now. Tiesto was much better in those days. You keep on bringing up that eventho I may not like Tiesto I still dance to the music. I was at that party to see Moby and David Bowie do a live preformance. Seeing Tiesto, Digweed, and Carl Cox was just a bonus! The fact that they video taped me for the DVD was even a bigger bonus, but when I actually saw Another Day At the Office, my opinion of Tiesto changed for the worst. You can tell that he is all about the fame, the money and the awards. Way to egocentric for my liking.

ACTUALLY, it was shot in the in the last 6 months of 2002, and since we're just beginning 2004, we're only talking about 18 months.

And how exactly is Tiesto egocentric? He always strikes me as a little uncomfortable with all the fame and publicity, but he lets all that go when he's on the decks.

most deejays get nailed for the egocentric after deejaying because of what they do. Dave Clarke is one....then again....he is a pompous ass.

Originally posted by Magnetonium Tiesto is not the only big name DJ who's been screwing up lately, you know. Take Oakey for example. I'd say from 1986 to 2001 he was UNTOUCHABLE. Since Bunkka, I question him in almost exact same way I question Tiesto. Consider yourself.

But unlike Tiesto, Oakey went off and produced a fucking rap track with Ice Cube...Oakey also produced such shit as Starry Eyed Surprise. Oakey rarely plays at recognised clubs these days. Tiesto is ALWAYS on the road, and even though the music has changed a bit, he STILL has stuck with the club scene (somewhat undeground compared to mainstream...at least here in North America), and he still consistently plays the both the biggest tracks and unkown tracks (like this Fairlight Distriction track he's been playing and it's SWEET!).

Oakey totally sold out...Tiesto hasn't gotten to that point yet and I don't think he ever will. His fame has brought him more attention, but he's still doing roughly the same things he was always doing...producing, remixing, releasing mix cds and touring the world extensively playing the latest stuff.

Tiesto isn't a pompous ass at all, though he can get moody if the equipment is shoddy. He was pissed at the Guv in December 2002 and his most recent Gatecrasher set at NEC too...that kind of stuff puts him in a bad mood that likely won't go away for the rest of his gig. That's why he walked off early in TO in December 2002.

But he always takes the time to sign things, and he's cool with his fans the majority of the time with pictures, etc. You should read all the good stories on www.tiesto.com

but there was no sound issues with the equipment or was there. Luke Fair was the opening dj if I remember correctly, he jumps off the stage and I asked him, what's the sound like, he goes it's good. Tiesto was tired that night after his gig to montreal and decided to cut his set short (hence why deko-ze was called to help). He played poorly and taking out your anger on the clubbers who pay to see you (i recall the ticket prices, koolhaus was rammed) and playing 3 hrs instead of 4 hrs.

well, he played just a little short of 3.5 hours actually...from 1:50 to 5:20 approximately. But don't you remember when the sound stopped? The CD player he was using over heated, and one of the turntables was skipping on him...he was tired, yes, but he was also pissed off about the equipment. I saw him complaining to that manager (he's always on the stage) more than once and I was right at the front. Most Dj's will just work with what they've got and don't flip out (like Ferry), but Tiesto wants everything to be right and I don't blame him. He wants to put on a good show.

i do remember that but I do remember the poor performance he put on. I've held it against him for a while, sure I bet I will bashed for this but the amount of money that ppl paid and his attitude that night was pathetic. I mean nothing is ever perfect with equipment but he sure showed how bad he was that night. Sure if shit blows up then you can't do it but I would have played my 4 hrs then never played the place again (which he has not played since). PvD pulled the same stunt in 2001 with Charles K (Oct 2001) and he never played till just recently. I've always had a problem with deejays that have to have everything just perfect or hell breaks loose. I was there that night and I view it as even if everything was perfect that night, his performance would have been poor. He said in interviews that it was his worst time period but if you don't really want to dj and be there, why be there. Sure tiesto is human but his attitude showed that night.
