I'm just as important as any fan in Europe and when I pay my $40 to see a dj perform I expect him to give me 110%. i don't care if trance isn't as popular as hip hop in the US (what an idiotic excuse to give the dj) - I paid my money and I expect him to be a professional and give 110% at EVERY SINGLE GIG. Sure, I don't like giving 110% at work every single day, but its called having some PRIDE in my work and giving my best when I show up for work. Tiesto not caring about his US gigs demonstrates to me that he's lazy, self-centered and has no pride in his work. And to think that people actually pay to see the guy trainwreck....

I think I've read somewhere that more people in the US vote in the dj mag 100 poll than Europeans, so really, Tiesto should give a fuck about his performances in the US.

And I'm not sure why we are still having this discussion - Armin is so much cuter than Tiesto

Agreed but Djing is almost an artform in its own right, Would you expect madonna to come up with a new song every couple weeks and never put out a greatist hits album? No sometimes she plays her old favorites , Im not giving Tiesto or any other DJ a pass , You think i want to see a second rate show , Of course not. Maybe i AM being subconsciously partial to Tiesto.
DJing though is different than a normal everyday job as far as giving 110%. Now i dont know what you do so im not trying to slam you but flipping burgers or something similar is not the same as creating a new dance set. I just think Djing is mentally draining work and maybe thats why major Dj's hit their peak quickly and then fall quickly because they become too repetative in their sets.DJing is more of a creative artform than country , hip-hop or any major music form. A normal popular group may come out with a new cd every couple years with 12 songs on it then tour with it for a year or maybe two (While playing those same twelve songs every concert,if they even play an instrument . Such as Brittany Spears who doesnt even sing). If a DJ played the same twelve songs he would be the worst DJ ever in most people's eyes ,as well as mine.I dont know am i making any sense here or do i just sound like i am ranting?

Maybe I just dont get it yet, Maybe i have not been listening long enough to get the GREAT story that a DJ spins over a four hour period .

Or maybe you guys just forgot to just have fun?

In the immortal words of a DJ who cares more about the crowd than Tiesto:

"Your and idiot"

Well in that case you answered a question (Lucid said "Do you realize how ignorant you sound?" - which is a question ) with another question , "Blissful ignorance?"

Not only is Blissful ignorance a sentence fragment but answering a question with another question is poor grammer.I was asking for you to back up your ignorant statement , Thats all.



I like your Mendicant slam but how am i a begger ? Please back it up too.Dont try to impress me with your big words you got out of the thesaurus


P.S. You guys are fun

of course dj's play old and new tracks - that wasn't even part of your original post. both tiesto and armin play the same old tired tracks and throw in new ones etc.

I'm a senior tax manager with a big 4 accounting firm and my clients are the Fortune 500 - so I think my job is just as mentally draining as dj'ing (and interpreting the tax code is not easy and I can be very creative ). I just don't understand why you people give dj's a free pass etc. - making up excuses for poor performances. Yeah - any and every dj have bad days, but it seems to me that Tiesto has more of them than any other dj out there right now. I have friends in Holland who go to Tiesto's gigs just to count how many times he trainwrecks.

It's people like you who give Tiesto free passes as to why he keeps getting voted #1 when in reality, he doesn't deserve it because he doesn't really care about his performances.

I was just wondering how you get CREATIVE on tax laws? Is it by finding loopholes around them?

yup - and my clients pay very well for my time and effort - at least i care about giving my clients what they pay for

i can understand liking tiesto more than armin - they each have very different styles etc. but, it just seems to me that you're making excuses for tiesto's poor performances in chicago - and as an educated club goer you should demand more from him.
