I think you missed my point. He's saying people are not allowed to make decisions about music unless they experience it spun by someone else at a "rave". Yet he's a hypocrite because he probably makes many decisions about certain other genres without ever having been to any live version of them.

Maybe it's a different experience, but it doesn't give you some kind of extra knowledge about edm.

Why dont some of you get out and about and learn to live the experience rather than just downloading paul van dyk!

some of us dont like poppiong pills, becuase we actually have lifes careers,and families that we would not risk for a couple hours of funn with some stupid pill.

Captain Cliché the Elitist would be a better handle than "sandstorm03" if you ask me.

Hmm, well that makes you a hypocrite. Also, you are an elitist and you've never ventured an opinion of your own.

You think you're smarter than me because you're four years older? Show me.

i havn't?? i can show you 1000's of posts where i post my opinions. What makes me an elitist anyway, because i think armin is not a good dj? Ive seen him 3 times(which is more then most of the asot fans) 4-5 hour sets this year and he sucked. Most people left 2 hours into his sets because they were so boring. ALOT of people on ta think armin is amazing since they are "arm chair listners," and turn on ASOT thursdays, weather they are old enough, where they live, what ever excuse. His mixing is to dull for me. Id say a good amount of ta's agree with my view so they must be elitists also?

I'm not basing it purely on that. I've seen countless posts where you've spouted elitist crap. Oh, other people think armin van shit (sic) is number 1 because it's their bloody opinion, not because they are all MP3 kids sat at home. That's why you're an elitist.

Have you ever heard of Conneticuit USA? Well they broadcast Armins show weekly, and there has not EVER been a club there that attracts any dj's of any tipes. Armin DEFINATELY gets "votes," because of his asot fans, and many of his fans DEFINATELY never have seen him live(in the states at least). Paul & Digweed have shows also but they don't push them because they know their fans will tune in if they wan't to. Sasha & Tiesto don't even have weekly shows. So to say that armin doesnt get mp3 kiddi votes, is just ignorant. I know there are people that go out and love armin, so be it...

But being an elitist, and hating a dj are 2 different things. I dont feel cooler because i like Digweed & Paul over armin. I just think armin sucks. I know i listen to a lot of "cheezy" artists & tracks but i dont care what other people think.


ps, have u ever seen djs @ clubs? j/w

sandstorm gets so much abuse about his name its funny to read it every time he posts his opinion heh.

But yeah, some people have the good fortune to go to more parties than others, but just because a person hasn't been out as much doesnt mean that their opinion of what sounds good is more valid than others. I have to drive a loooong way to go see stuff so I don't have much experience seeing big DJ's live. I saw armin once at glow last november and it was the most amazing thing I've ever been to, I saw Tiesto at Nation this past June and the music was good but the crowd and the rain kinda ruined it a bit, but I still had fun. I saw PvD in charlotte last year and had a great time their, but got a bit too sloshed to remember much of the music, but I still remember it being a fun night. As far as big trance names that's all I've seen.

Does that mean I'm not allowed to say what I think about a set I hear over a broadcast from one of these people? I agree that DJ's shouldnt be judged overall unless you see them with a bit of regularity, but just because one doesn't get that oppurtunity doesn't mean their opinions on what sounds good are not valid.

I have been to a bunch of parties and seen a bunch of crazy things, and I imagine most of the others here have as well. It might look like were a bunch of music downloading dorks but that doesnt meant that we never leave our computers and go partying.

Yer definately not the first person to come here and say such things.
