At least those have some kind of skill, and it is debatable as to whether participants are the best at what they do.

Someone said I should get a signature - so here it is!

The Entertainment industry as a whole is getting out of control. Musicians, movie stars.... they're all getting paid more than they're worth and we're the ones feeling the pinch... I now have to pay close to ten dollars to see a movie....close to 5 to rent one....

Yes, people are free to make as much money as they can, but when the spectators are the ones paying for it, then the artist should step in and make sure that things do not get out of control.

DJs in particular should heed way to this.... I mean, mixing is a form of musical presentation, but for the most part, it's nothing like putting on a rock tour... you just show up and spin... no one is worth $40,000 or Pounds or Euros to do this for two, 6, or even 18 hours....

But, I'm not going to condem the DJs before I condem the Pop Stars and the Movie Stars.... they are the ones that are robbing us blind...nowadays, half of your entire film budget goes just to hiring the talent.... pop starts are now charging between 70 and 100 dollars for a single ticket to a show.... it's more about the lights than about the singing....

I hope you all realize how dangerous of a time we live in for artistic presentation... people are losing touch with genuine art and focusing more on profit.... Somethings got to give....
It's even happening to Trance now... there's too much redundant, recycled crap that's being put out... It's turning in to a form of pop music and the DJs into Pop stars...
Tiesto is now the Britney Spears of Electronica.... mediocre talent and a marketable personality....

I'll stop now....

im at the matrix most weekends. its not even that big and they have difficulty filling it unless there is a really really big name playing and thats only once every couple of months.

the club can hold give or take 2000 people. they charge £10 to get in. at the very most they make £40000 off the bar. so that makes £60000 for a really good nite.

you honestly think they are gonna give tiesto 2/3 of their money?? not a fuckin chance. your friend has been bullshittin you. chris davies and ryan maxwell have been the residents of that club since it opened, playin every single weekend. they are paid peanuts.

I would guess that cover is going to be a bit more for Tiesto.
