the keywords in my statement was "DJ i met" im pretty confident there are DJs outthere that are even more rude/arrogant than Tiesto that i have yet to meet

My bad...

The rudest and the most arrogant DJ I have met, so far, was Paul Van Dyk.

iv only even been dissapointed in Tiesto once... and that was due to a technical dificulty at global gathering....

other than that he has absolutly blew the place away whenever i have seen him, his 3 hour set at the Passion Birthday was unbeatable,

he has done more for trance than most DJs,

being the best DJ isnt all about how u mix

all the people who constatly slate him are just childish fools IMO nobody should get so much shit just because they are no.1

Originally posted by Guerrilla But what I most do not like about Paul Van Dyk is his fucked up attitude toward the crowd and other DJ's.

Agreed. PvD is my number 1 for productions, and his setlists are usually quite good, but he just lacks any emotion from what I've seen. He seems so moody and miserable. Does he not get along with any DJs at all, and he is just bitter about not being number 1?

I am however, mesmorised by Tiesto's performance in the TIC 2 DVD. He's an absolute genius at crowd interaction and is mixing wasn't at all bad either! People saying he went downhill from 2000, I just think is tripe. Sure, he may not have been playing well recently, but I think alot of it is down to taste and style of DJing. Just because I don't like Zabiela's obsession with technical ability, doesn't mean he's a bad DJ.

For DJs being moody, they surely must have off days like the rest of us. It's their job to DJ, not a party. I think sometimes people forget that when they turn up stoned out their heads to ask for an autograph.

I'd be offended if someone came up with their own record and asked me to play it (unless I wanted to). It's in effect saying "I think what you're playing tonight is cr*p, play this instead".

Completely agree...

Iv spoke to quite a few Djs

Matt Hardwick is such a nice guy, he actually came over to me an said he recognised me from somwer, i was quite flattered. Lisa Lashes is sooo nice aswell.

Ferry an armin are also both nice lads, as is MIKE, John O Callahagn, Judge Jules and 1 of the guys from rank 1

PVD tends to look miserable while DJing

but when he played at cream not so long ago he was wasted, he was actually jumping up and down in the background while NU NRG wer on..

then in his set he was goin over to the crowd to read msgs on ppl phones taht they wer tryin to show him, seemd so happy and bouncy then, but thats the only time iv seen him like that

You can't say if the dj is rude or arrogant or whatever based on how he performed with the crowd on that specific day that you saw him. I've seen Tiesto just walk off on his crowd a couple times but that doesn't make him an asshole or anything. I'm sure if you knew him in person you'd say "oh he's such a good person and shit". Maybe he walked off for certain reasons, security or safety of his fans when he sees people go literally insane. So you can't say that he's an asshole just by something that you saw him do. You have to know a person in order to judge them properly.

And in terms of music, if you hate Tiesto that's fine, hate him because you don't like certain things about him or you like another dj more. But please don't fucking come to his concert then and go crazy and yell out TI-ES-TO because nothing pisses me off more than those people that talk shit about Tijs and then you see them in the corner going crazy at his gig. Tiesto has done so much for the trance world, not too many dj can show such a level of achievements. It's like saying Paul Oakenfold sucks. He may not be nearly as good now but the man created this kind of music so you have to show respect to him. Tiesto's music has it's own style, just like Armin has his own and Ferry has his own and so on. But there are some dj's that dont' have their own style, they kind of mix it up. Tiesto is definately not one of these dj's. His music has it's own style and it's called Magik Musik. Please people, if you hate him dont' go out and talk shit and then go secretly worshipping him. I don't like certain dj's but i dont' talk shit about them. I respect them anyhow for the music they are trying to produce but i just don't like that music or whaever and that's all. I don't go out there and talk shit about these dj's. Anyway it's 3:33am here in Toronto, so it's time to make a wish

dito...

I thought that I was the only one who believed that Tiesto had done a lot (more than any other DJ) for the trance music...

Originally posted by Guerrilla Why is Tiesto not so good as a DJ? As you said he has unique style of production and he makes amazing remixes. What else does a DJ need to be a good DJ?

selection of tracks, his not doing that so good these days, if u ask me 3 years ago, id have a different answer about tiesto, dont get me wrong i still like him, but its not like i felt years back.

yeah i know, he has it on nyana cd 2, and people confuse it that he made that remix, anyways the tracks says demo mix, not tiesto.
