haha and i though the subject was "why trance seems to be less famous now"

Originally posted by Chris T. Dot People hate on the guy because he hasn't been able to keep the standard that brought him to the top. Look at his live sets from 1999-2002, spectacular. Then look at what he did ever since, not much. When you set such a high standard, you gotta stay up there or bring it higher or people will naturally think you've gotten worse.

I agree with that and I think it is also the fact that people are realizing there are dj's out there with more talent then him in their pinky finger.

he is falling in the same footsteps as oakenfold he ruled trance then newer and better things come out.. and also people get tired of the same dj and are always looking for something new.. it seems as if armin is starting to take over.. in my opinion i think armin sucks but thats just me.. Tiesto is still god in america.. from what i can tell since he sells out arenas and tickets that go from 60-200.00

He may be god in New Mexico, but in LA, Miami, SF, NY that's not the case.

the show hes doing in la is at the la arena that fits 15k people and also if a guy can get 40-200 a ticket he must still be bad ass and still have a demand for him?

cose tiesto had been at the top for a number of years the only way from there is down its a natural process someone will replace him at the top for 2or3 years then the same thing will happen again.

Originally posted by Floorfiller see really in all honesty i don't think this is what its about. i could care less how popular tiesto got...he could be michael jackson for all i care as long as he still performed in my eyes. the people that are upset i think are really just more mad about the music...and maybe they are frustrated that everyone else doesn't seem to notice...but its not because of the popularity directly. the popularity however is a means to an end. i see the life of a lot of these big name dj's like this... they start out unknown and play tunes that they really enjoy and they think are the best and begin to climb as a dj because of it... they market themselves well and eventually they gain a following because people love and appreciate the effort and style put into their sound... as they get larger and larger, they start getting sent more and more material from other people in the industry hoping to get it played by the new hot dj, but still they are playing the stuff that they like... there schedules become busier and busier until they no longer do things like go to the record store or dig through their record collections, instead they begin to identify what they believe people want to hear... they come to the conclusion about the type of music people want to hear and because they want to become as big as possible, they start playing and making tracks more because they think people want to hear them and not because they like them... they start to enjoy success because a lot of people that didn't like the genres they got famous playing are liking the more commercial sound, and so they continue to do what seems to be working making themselves larger than life... at this point they are so far away from where they started, a good majority of the fans that appreciated there early careers become disenchanted and begin to criticize them, wishing they'd go back to the old style... because they have been successful, but successful with a different group of people entirely, they continue to thrive and make lots of money. the majority of their new fans are people that didn't like EDM before because either 1. they don't know anything other than their new found DJ, or 2. they have always only liked songs with a certain borderline mainstream feel, chances being they wouldn't have liked their new fav dj's old sound.... the people that have always loved the genre see the loss in quality and because of it they look to other genres and dj's that are still in it for the same reasons that they are... bla bla bla...
