Ok. First off, there's no need to call each other names here. I just stated my opinion. If that offends you(and you know who I'm talking about) then that's your loss. In this so called community, I merely stated what I thought. If that's a crime, then boo hoo. Go cry somewhere else.
Second, I never, ever criticized other people's OPINIONS...debating whether AvB is commercial or not is based on hard facts, not tastes. I merely stated what I believe to be true.And yes, whether you like it or not, in the world of electronica and trance, he is about as commercial as Nelly is in rap and radio hip hop.
Third, my point on his ASOT Top 20 is self explained...he plays the Top 20 most popular tunes not the top 20 most stand out, innovative or whatever tunes. POPULAR. And to me, to hear people say that AvB isn't commercial and to see him doing shit like Top 20 is kinda...dumb. I don't understand how you see something that's right in front of your eyes, and deny it. Again, facts, not opinions.
Fourth, I have no disrespect for any one of these DJs. I praise them for their hard work and where they have reached because of their work ethic. They certainly do earn their rights as superstars, but to idolize them as gods and to hear the same shit: "...Armin is GOD! Tiesto is GOD! Ferry Corsten is totally awesome!..." when they've done nothing superbly innovative other than spin anthems after another, kinda gets to you...yeah, occasionally the'll spit out good tunes, but when tunes like Solstice and Yet Another Day get praise as tunes of the year, you start wondering...especially being an amateur, you wonder why how they can get away by playing overplayed tunes, and your mix tapes can't get even one response when they show far more creativity and talent then some of these so called "DJs"...I've heard some of these tunes and mixes, and there's alot more hidden gold on this board alone then the "masters" we tend to lose ourselves in.
Again, I said it before and said it again, but I don't mean to offend any body for anymatter...it's opinions that make us who we are. I'll say this too...I love trance...all kindsa trance, and I have much love and respect for the DJs that we are squabbling over about. But when you see a trend as obvious as a sun in the dark, and people mindlessly follow it, you distance yourself from everything and look at the picture and come to a conclusion. The reason why you people see me as trying to be "all that" is merely because I don't follow the euro trance trend...I choose to isolate my self, and it's a bad and good thing at the same time.
And that's all I did. Distance, look, and come to a conclusion. I guess you people don't see it that way, and I'm sorry about that, but that's just what I did.
Happy New Years. |
you, my friend, are so full of bullshit it makes me wonder why we have people like you in this world.
These producers are the ones that made and makes trance the way it is...they deserve all the credit and attention in the world. without ferry corsten, armin, pvd, the whole lot where would trance be today?who tah fuck cares if they get more attention than some amateur..that life. on a side note a life is something you need to get.
