HAHAHAHAHAHA

same way i felt about the people that dropped that much money @ nocturnal NO ONE was sitting at the cabanas because they were HORRIBLE!



As far as getting drinks, TIP the bartender SUPER good (10~20) the first time and then every other time u go up 2bucks or so...

I ALWAYS do this and its the only solution. You just walk up to the side of the bar and they WILL notice you and serve you w/o waiting in line

I thought Eric Prydz was pretty freakin amazing when I saw him at Belo on Friday, but he didn't even come close to comparing to those two.

I'm really really wanna get a hold of axwell + angello and digitalisms tracklists...so will someone please post it if they get a hold of it. It would be greatly appreciated!!


check out the set i just posted ^^^^

reading this is making me even more upset that i didn't see them. I knew they were going to murder the stage with all the DOPE tracks that they have. I planned to drop ~80 bucks JUST to see axwell and angello (Pyrdz @ the avalon was what they wanted), but since my g/f and friends lagged it i got assed out

as far as track listings, im pretty sure i can name at least 80% of what ax and steve played i just need to hear it!

Really contradicting yourself, wouldn't you say?

You responded to the person that went off on why one is not supposed to go to MM year in and year out, by telling him to say something constructive and not negative. You then go on to say that their are negatives. In the case of Monster Massive, the negatives ALWAYS outweigh the positives!!!

Yeah, just keep trying to look past the negatives year after year while continously spending $60-$75 for a piss poor event. I did MM from 2004-2006 and after last year I promised myself that I would never attend another MM because I did exactly what you said; I gave my full attention to every DJ that I wanted to see but that's near impossible to enjoy while 15 year olds are all around sitting on the floor. And, when they're not on the floor, they bumrush to the front like fucking little mice trying to find cheese and they don't care about their sweaty bodies or their adolescent minds getting in the way of others. These crowds absolutely KILL the enjoyable atmosphere.


Like a bunch of us said weeks prior to Monster Massive: Don't waste your money on this crap event! However, nobody chooses to listen and I'm especially surprised to all the people that are over 21 years old that attended Monster Massive over two other great nights in Hollywood. Please explain to me how you could choose Kiddies on Crap Massive over Eric Prydz. Those drugs must've been real good for you guys!

I pretty much agree with what's been said before.

The sets were good, especially Amrin's Opening track - Big Sky ( John O'Callahan). Markus put up some good stuff too especially that remix of As the Rush Comes which is always a classic.

The heat was something I really didn't anticipate. I felt like I was inside of an incubator. And as far as the overcrowding, I think we all knew what we were getting into with a Halloween event that was open to all ages.

I just really wish that the kids these days would learn some etiquette. You go to a 21+ or even 18+ event and there's a just an understanding of how to behave at these types of events. I couldn't tell you how many times I felt like schooling some of these 16 yr olds about how not to stiff arm or push over people just to get another 5 ft closer to the stage.

Aside from that I think Monster was ok. This wasn't going to be like Giant Village 21+ so I really hestitate to judge the crowd on that level.

I do have a video I took of Armin spinning Big Sky, and I'll post that up when I get home from work...

I detect a disturbance in the force.....

Wow what mixed reviews...

I liked what the one dude said that he learned from his mistakes from the previous years, and showed up early, bought the waters in advance etc.. etc..

Each night is what you make of it, I'm glad the people that had fun had fun... and for those who didn't' ... we'll you can join my club of "Never going to MM again because of the under 18 kids"

Peace and Chicken Grease

im glad i didnt go. The last MM I went to was Judge jules and PVD. That was like the end of MM all together. The quality of the setup has been sucking along with other massives. Best now are the clubs since the big name dj's play for longer hours and its cheaper..

I'd never thought I'd say this but. + 1 for the clubs

Ok, even with all my little nitpicks aside, (YES, getting a warm water from a VIP bar is unacceptable... especially when I lay down the extra $40 for a ticket plus a $10 tip for getting me said lousy water.) I could almost look past it accept for two things.
When I go to an EDM show, I go to listen to music and rock out... plain and simple. When those two things are impossible, then whats the point? I don't know where the folks who said the sound was great were sitting, but I honestly couldn't hear a damn thing. I would catch little bits of a song here and there and be like "Oh... THATS what he's playing", but overall it was just a low frequency bump. Furthermore, with the vibe as bad as it was, I couldn't dance for two minutes without tripping over some etards or being pushed out of the way by some sweaty jerk shoving his way to the front. Music and dance... thats what it's all about for me and both were impossible... Maybe I'm just picky... and maybe I'm missing the REAL point of EDM shows, which is apparently to take too much ecstasy and lay on a filthy concrete floor. It was cool to see once, but never again.

(Just my additional bitter 2 cents. Really, I think I would have at least been able to have a decent time if I could hear the music!)

I have more, just not posting them atm.

It was a great show. Second massive, first one in LA. Loved Markus Schulz, Armin, Judge Jules, the whole thing was great.

Ended up being split fro the people I came with and partied with a totally different group of people I met while giving a lightshow to them. Fan-f**king-tastic time. Big shout-out to them!

A video someone made that shows kinda what it was like:
