The fact is Tiesto has done a lot for the scene and he was one of the guys who got me into it back in the day so I for one am always gonna have a lotta respect for him. Now yeah I acept he is a manufactured product, but at the same time the techno gods can slag him off coz the closest thing they got to a superstar in a pop sense is Mauro Picotto!!! FLAME ON!!!!

Originally posted by djmetatron Well I'm done with this argument, looks like you've dug yourself a hole here, with this last post you have shown your true colors. If you agree with these guys then fuck off this forum. It's called TRANCEADDICT.COM. If your going to push your veiled trance hating philosophy here you should see someone about that. Good nite.

I googled and found this: http://www.google.no/search?hl=no&q...=S%C3%B8k&meta=

which yields about 5 forum posts with the Richie Hawtin-quote in their sig or post.

Then there's the interview where PvD totally takes the piss out of Tiesto and his TiC-getup, which can be found here: http://www.tranceaddict.com/forums/...=paul+interview

Some more wonderful words about trance from the cheerful Dave Clarke:
http://www.inthemix.com.au/chat/int...archives/14889/

I also know for a fact from the former editor of the norwegian club magazine Mutek that Laurent Garnier spent 30 mins throwing a huge anti-trance (Tiesto included) rant after an interview with them, with Lars Holte (who mixed an installment of ITWT) as a mute bystander. I'd dig up the post, but it is in Norwegian.

But this isn't really necessary. It couldn't possibly be more blatantly obvious what these DJs think about Tiesto's exploits, and anyone with a shred of objectivity towards this issue would easily put two and two together.

And for the record I don't hate trance, I love it just as much as you do. In fact, that is exactly why I have this opinion.

Good work dude, shut me up on a few things! But I gotta slag PvD here, coz his sets are shockingly commercial at times and his Relflections album was p*ss poor so he's a bit out having a go at Tiesto for that.

His last good album was Politics of Dancing back in 2001!

Originally posted by djmetatron there may be a few, but I think your in the minority here bud. + the ones u listed are TECHNO. What do they really have to offer as an opinion on Tiesto? Techno is very differen't from Trance. I actually like Dave Clarke a lot as a producer, but he is too differen't from Tiesto to even mention in this debate, as well as the others u listed. as if you know what they are really thinking..

in an interview a few months back pvd got torn into tiesto. said that he (pvd) was more into his music and didnt like all of these djs with gimmicks like playing concerts in theme parks!!!

Originally posted by miura Tiesto plays music to suit the mood. His poor sets are on commercial events when people want to hear the music they recognise. I've seen him play at Cream when he doesnt have to conform to anything and he was fantastic. He was the last of the major DJ's that i hadnt seen, and hands down he was better than them all. PVD, Oakie, Armin van Buuren, Jules, Sasha, John 00 etc. etc., the lot.

ERM, Tiesto better than Sasha!?!?!

I may not be into Sasha's sound, but he could mix better than Tiesto is he was a quad-amputee and had to use his weiner to mix.

j00f also is MUCH better than Tijs

Originally posted by Grrrrr Which or how many of Tijs songs are by cor finjeman? miura - That would make sense, ive seen him 3 times. Twice at big events where he was shockingly bad then at amnesia in ibiza where he was unbelivable. I've not lost faith yet (just)

As far as I know, no songs of tiësto are produced by Cor Fijneman (not Finjeman )

your forgetting that the most basic thing for a dj to do is Beatmatch. And tiesto can't even do that.

Tiesto = Ashley Simpson
