word

i think people love him becuase he influenced them...and 90% of people who attend clubs and events dont give a rats ass about how he mixes but how the music hits them. you need to know that not every fan is a dj and not every fan cares if a dj mixes like a fucking machine.

Ive never seen him live. So I cant hate.

Ive only heard him live and his albums. Personally, there are other DJ's and producers out there...the fame that preceeds Tiesto is a bit overrated. His producing doesnt impress me...I find it a bit dull...compared to some other producers with more variety.

DJ'ing though...I have no problem with it.

I like Tiesto...but thats just me and my limited experience with him.

You all amaze me saying that you hate Tiesto and don't even give any reasons, I am begining to believe that you all are just followers. And to say that Tiesto immitates? What is that? And Armin Van Buuren even? Well, I just hope that some of you think about what you are going to say before you say it. And giving a DJ a record to play is very, very rude. For more than half of you I am guessing, go see a DJ live before you say anything else. Last but not least, DJs, all of them, yes all of them no matter how much you like, follow, or worship them, have their own rough times and bad shows, so just a friendly reminder, think before you speak.

I've given reasons about 6,000 times now...because there are hundreds...

But I dont feel like laying them all out to a bunch of idiots who will still love Tiestor just cause.

He used to be great...he's a total joke now...

Originally posted by eFeKz I too feel that Tiesto is a subpar DJ. His compilations are somewhat weird to begin with, they're like their own genre of trance..take a small peek of how Tiesto remixed Motorcycle's - As the Rush Comes.... I think the only reason Tiesto has gotten so much hype is due to Armin van Buuren featuring his compilations and remixes on his A State of Trance shows and such, along with Paul Oakenfold featuring his goodies too. Personally, I think Tiesto is a cling-on to famous DJ's, an imitator, not an originator. Ah well, not the DJ for me.

That is the most ass backwards post I have ever read. First:
"they're like their own genre of trance" and then:
"I think Tiesto is a cling-on to famous DJ's, an imitator, not an originator."


Doesn't make any sense to me.

Originally posted by Guerrilla Paul Van Dyk does a better job than Tiesto? Are you serious? I think that Paul Van Dyk is the DJ who does not deserve to be #2. I've been 3 times on his shows during the last 3 month; and I can say that compare to Tiesto or even Ferry Corsten, this German is a way below (in my opinion). But what I most do not like about Paul Van Dyk is his fucked up attitude toward the crowd and other DJ's.

I agree with this. PVD stands there, does nothing, and makes me feel like I just ate 6 Xanax. He never gets a crowd hyped.

And Armin and all the other Dutch dj's would be washing dishes or working at the coffeehouses in Amsterdam if it wasn't for Tiesto. Tiesto opened the floodgates for Dutch trance. I'm not saying I dislike the other Dutch dj's, but they would be far from where they are now if Tiesto didn't make "Dutch" and "Trance" synonymous.

And also, you could be techinically the best mixer in the world, but if you play 50 shitty tracks, no one is going to like you. But if you are even mediocre at mixing and have an awesome track selection and ability to read a crowd, more people will like you. Mixing is NOT the only standard by which a dj should be judged.

And I have met Tiesto several times. He has always been more than willing to just relax and talk to people. I met him before and after he was voted #1 and he seems the same person to me.

Me too. He is such a conceited asshole.
