Originally posted by tiesto14 How would you know? 7 years ago it was 1998 and Tiesto was not even known by many people, let alone you. In 1998 he was playing perfect sets and brilliant tunes, even up to 2000. In 2001 he played with prog and still held his own and in early 2002 is when he started playing more commercial trance then before - which by my calculations was 3 years ago. Again you are wrong. Play for billions of people in the Olympics. Won countless awards year after year. Filled the Gelredome (not once but 3 times). Shall i go on? Again you are wrong. You just hate Tiesto because he is the most mainstream DJ right now. As you would hate any such DJ that is on top. You would of hated Oakie when he was the man, you would of hated PvD when he was the man and so on. You are an elitist that thinks you are some how more of a trance fan because you hate the "in" thing of the moment. I guarantee if your most listened to DJ was as popular as Tiesto you would hate him as well. Pathetic. So anyone who listens to Tiesto is ignorant? Let me guess you have all the answers you are a messiah that will lead us to the promised land of good unpopular trance. All you do is post negative things..mainly about Tiesto...why is it i don't post in Armin van Buuren threads when people praise him and attack all his fans for the their musical taste? Please go to www.dictionary.com and look up the word you so love to toss on other people and you will see that your intolerance is in fact IGNORANT!

Well said, think the people who are against tiesto are just angry cause their favourite DJ's are just not on tiesto's level.

And Radagast, please dont try and come back with one of your smart arse geeky comments, just be mate

I saw Qbert.. and first of all,, why are you bringing a hip hop dj into this arguement???
and actually... ummmm he is good.. but he aint that good..
and most hip hop fans will tell you that...

Qbert in a trance dj forum? jezzzz dude.. you really are trying to not look like an arse...

people are not saying tiesto is the worlds best Dj.. we are just saying he is good..and has done some epic things for EDM and can really throw down a set when he wants to..
you keep talking like he is garbage.. just proves that you really know nothing about EDM... you just value your own opinion..
and you think your right.. dude.. I dont really like country music.
but I wont say garth brooks is a terrible singer !
I dont really like Hip hop that much anymore.. but I wont say
ice cube cant rap!
I dont like boy bands.. but I wont say boyz to men cant sing!!
I respect them for what they have done..
I like who I like.. but I wont say they are shit! when they are not! just I dont like them would be my arguement..

so what we are saying is .. give tiesto the credit he deserves first.. you dont get to be number for nothing.. if he wasnt that good he would be some dj in a club somewhere in holland and know one knows him!!!

say but in my opinion I personally dont like him!!
you try to tell us all, that he is garbage!!
mate!! he is not garbage!! the only thing that stinks here is your BS about EDM.. if you cant show alittle respect for someone who packs arenas with 30.000 people twoshows back to back in two days.. and sells out tickets in a few hours.. and has countless number 1 tracks and awards..
then you really are a sad man!!
and your biase opinion doesnt equal nothing.. so there is no real point talking to someone like you..
the superstars of trance and EDM are good for what they do!!
they keep EDM commercial.. and we need it.. its good its getting mainstream now.. more better parties.. more better Dj, producers etc.. better raves better venues.. thanks to the superstars for making it world known.. yeah alot of young people like the superstars
but so what!! its a good thing..its good for EDM and good for all Djs
every industry has its superstars. and most extreme fans in that genre always back the little guy! the unknown or not so commercial and say he is the true man!! whatever!! all music have poster boys.
doesnt mean they are not good.. its just an opinion..
and I dont know about you guys.. but when I go to see PVD or others etc.. tiesto.. I dont sit there alone and listen for faults..
im there to have a good time and dance!
you go to a rave like tiesto and see 20.000 young kids all having a blast... becuase they dont care.. they know the name,. and its a name they can trust for a good time..
ignorant?? I dont think so.. they are just not over critical like alot of people are..

so say tiesto is rubbish.. is IGNORANCE!
saying I dont like tiesto compared to some others.. is a valued opinion and fair enough..

Every on has got their own opinion, and thats that

Why does it always come to the point were you end up arguing over the net with someone you dont no at all!!

Im only a member of this forum cause im in a shitty job and im at my desk bored all day long, it makes me laugh, some little geek who research's right into music and doesnt even go to a club and experience the DJ.

I work 9-5, mon-fri, in a shit job just to get the satisfaction out of going clubbing on fri and sat, to see the likes of TIESTO, cause he's a quality DJ (MY opinion) and ive been to see his gigs for the past 6 years and will do for a long time.

He really doesn't need to try and come back with any 'smart arse' remarks for comments as stupid as that. Amazing.

stop making theese threads already. No one cares.

Ahh, the Tiesto Bash 'o' rama

He went from gold to crap, and that's all what I'm saying.

LOL these threads are always a fucking joke.

There is always some group of people who think its cool to hate the big DJ of the moment, be it Tiesto, Oakey, Armin, whoever.

And most of them cannot come up with any reason why they hate him other than 'he trainwrecks' or 'he plays cheese'.

Like you are always perfect at your job right? And if they are playing cheese, its cuz the 30,000 people there to see the guy want to hear the cheese.

Instead of being an ass and hating on the big name trance DJs, why not support them. After all, they are the most visible faces of the EDM scene.

Oh wait, I forgot. People don't want trance to become more popular because then they cannot feel cool and elitist for listening to it.

For fuck sake, how is that not enough of a reason when the DJ in question is supposedly the 'number 1' DJ in the world? Especially when there are many DJ's out there that do get it right nearly 100% of the time.

Originally posted by XaNaX Bah. Maybe the guy doen't have the best technical mixing skills, but who cares. I'd take a DJ who trainwrecks a time or two, but can feel the crowd, select the right tracks, and create a mood over one who is technically brilliant but inept at track selection.

Point is, there are DJs out there who feel the crowd, select the right tracks, create a mood AND are technically far better.

Why are they below Tiesto on the list? Because they're not some marketing tool.

I was just pointing out the obvious. Nobody forces an opinion on me.

If it's of any interest to you, no, I will not go and see Tiesto.
