Just say the truth, you don't like him cause of his fame. It's not just connections you narrow minded person. I'm not even gonna waste my time anymore, with a shit head like you. If I want to hear from an asshole i'll fart.

Sure Innercity wasn't great but the couple of Global Broadcasts from before were mixed quite well. Every dj has his good and bad days, let him be.

Tiesto is not where he is because of his "connections" or because of Silence or some bullshit like that. He is where he is because since Forbidden Paradise 3 he has distinguished himself from the rest with his special (magikal) touch that sets him apart from the rest. No one can do what Tiesto does better than him. No one else in this world would have selected the tracks in Innercity 99 that he did and blended them together the way he did. No other dj could have built the amount of energy that he managed to achieve in Energy 2000. Even last year, his DD and Impulz sets made it for me more than any other set last year. Tiesto is Tiesto, if you don't like him whether because you don't like his fashion sense or his mixing or track selection/placement, then don't tune in. But he's not replaceable for my own personal taste and if you can't respect that I won't lose any sleep over it.

Did I ever say that I disliked him? No.

Looks like you're the shit head. Grow up.

See previous post.

(minus the insult)

Trance is changing and some people may not like it which is fine. I love a lot of tracks being released these days. Sure they're not as good the old uplifting stuff back in '99 but so what, the genre has changed a few times, just listen to stuff from '97 and older.

You just need to realize that this a web board and you shouldn't care what others say or think. If you like and EVERYONE else hates it, who cares?

Here we go, another classic TA flame war. *Grabs a beer from the fridge and relaxes*

Er, listen to what the man has to say, he know's what he's talking about

Being a good DJ is about a lot more than being able to mix, infact I'd say being able to mix well is a pretty low priority in my books as far as trance DJ's go. As long as they can create a fairly smooth transition without losing any flow of the set that's what's important. Don't forge they're playing for the crowd and not for the thousands of people who'll download the mp3 rip to analyse the next day. DJ Tiesto has talent in my opinion; his tune selection is usually spot on, he can read a crowd brilliantly and can play a pretty wide selection of music well, depending on the occasion.

His mixing, however, is well below par when compared with other DJ's of similar status (or even less status). For some this is important, for others it's not. I havn't seen him since Novemeber when he played Gatecrasher NEC and I thought his set was one of the best of the whole event (along with Yoji & Underworld) but actually take a listen to the mixing, the transitions are pretty basic & even sloppy at times.

Aww poor guy, I disproved the logic of your post and you couldn't think of anything intelligent to say so you went and cried like a little baby. How's junior high treating you?

I'm glad people here can express opinions and be called shit heads and subsequently told to 'go die.' You're the ones who make this forum so enjoyable. No wonder so many people have quit posting here, it's turning into a bunch of 12 year olds flaming people who are actually trying to make a point.

*leaves thread*

I've got a very sharp ear when it comes to mixing, but I don't take it that seriously. Besides, when you're in a club and the beat is just barely off, you don't notice it cuz the bass is throbbing so loud anyways.

It's also definitely true that some DJ's have bad nights. It doesn't always ruin the set (for me at least), but even PvD's mixing is shitty from time to time. If you don't believe me listen to PvD's Rosenmontags set, theres an example of a great set with Shitty mixing.
