This past saturday, I was feeling a bit adventourous and took it upon myself to visit WORLD for the first time. Dj tiesto was supposed to be spinning for most of the night, and I like some of his stuff to listen to in the car so I thought I would give him a chance. Hes got such a huge name in Europe now, that I thought I would bless him with my presence. I mean people were comparing him to PVD and tenaglia, JP and the rest....

Just a word of advice...DONT EVER GO SEE THIS GUY SPIN LIVE! ITS A WASTE OF MONEY! I was very disapointed! ALL this commercial nonsense he played?I mean what the fuck? How can you, in this day of age, spin Silence for like 20 minutes with no changes? Second of all, he was tripping balls, so he fucked up like 3 times(that I heard), his mixing was nonexistent, predictable and shallow. He came out on to the stage 3 times and started throwing records out into the crowd. what a clown. I dunno if the promoters made him play such a nonsense set, but I lost a lot of respect....I
understand that he is talented, but I HAD 95% of the music he played, some stuff even 2-3 years old! I mean if people try to compare this guy to PVD or DT, I WILL LAUGH. PVD can have like 3 records going, and you wont even know it! DT CREATES music in front of you!! Tiesto is just empty. I think what he really thought was that people don't know trance here in NY or they don't understand music....he is wrong. Everyone I talked to hated the set ( with a few exceptions)

Tiesto, I'm disapointed...maybe I'll give you another chance in DC in November.

First of all Tiesto is against drugs, so there was no way in hell that he was "tripping balls". Also, just cause you couldnt appreciate him, that means that no one should ever go see hiom play?? Can't someone have a bad night for Christ's sakes! And i really bet that his mixing was non existent too! hahaha Ahhh, such ingorance.

TIESTO IS NOT AGAINST DRUGS...that is PvD from the days of Gatecreasher when crasher kids would wear shirts against drugs because of PvD's strong anti-drug stance. I have seen Tiesto fucked up and at Limelight here in March was seen to have done coke.

Tiesto is all about show as I described in my post...

Ignorance? I think you've got me all wrong. Obviously you don't know tiesto cause hes NOT against drugs. I don't know if you have ever heard him spin but he showed me NOTHING. By mixing I mean he will play a track, when it's over, he mixes the next track in and thats it. Van-dyke will have 2 songs playing for like 10 minutes, and you have no idea!! His transition is so smooth that the whole night is one song!! Tieto's skills come nowhere near this... I had high expectations thats all. Records skipping, missing beats should not happen too much. YES everyone makes mistakes, and everyone can have a bad night... but come on. dont play me a fucken track from 98', followed by a track from 99' followed by a track from 96'. He is about show, not about music which can be good also. BUT NOT FOR ME FOR 40$$

DT I mean Danny Tenaglia...hes DJ, producer, gods gift to New York

I was there at World, and Tiesto didn't fuck up, the record was skipping, was not his fault, and it happened twice, also the set he threw for the crowd was perfect, it was more of a mainstream crowd rather than the true hard core music lovers, he pleased the crowd and the crowd loved him. I had a great time, and still believe Tiesto is an amazing DJ.

He played what the crowd wanted, and to tell you the truth, many people there wanted to hear silence and songs that are on his new CDs, and he threw in a few old classics which made everyone (including me) go nutz.

Overall, it was a good set by Tiesto.

Hey Tbass i agree with you bro that the crowd was happy and wanted to hear Silence etc..but that was my second time in the span of 8 months hearing him and he hardly changed his set. Secondly I dont care much for his antics and the intro he needs and stuff like a rock star. I dont like how the dj booth is on a stage separated from the people. At Twilo at least you can stand up next to the booth and the great dj's spinning there needed no intro's. These are the problems I had with the night. I dont discount that my opinion is in the minority and that a lot of people had a good time but I was with a lot of people who were also disappointed by his skills, track selection and antics. Anyway nice to see you there. Push

TIESTO is against Drugs !!!!!!!! LOL !!!! DON'T MAKE ME LAUGH !!!

I think u are thinking about PVD...He's the one against drugs.

Not that I have anything DJ's who do drugs...Sasha spins a mean set when he's done an eight-ball of coke

BT is a producer and does live shows. DT is Danny Tenaglia and he is the fucking MAN !!!!! Danny is the messiah of NYC House !!!

Blah Blah Blah....all I hear is his dissing of Tiesto crap and sucking-PVD's cock shit...Beat it Maximus, just cannot take another man with imperfections to your illusionized world of perfection. Who the fuck said PVD or DT, BT whatever you call them are perfect in so many ways...Admit you are just pissed off cause Tiesto is making so many beans and you're just this insignificant piece of bimbotic cell that floats around looking for PERFECT MIXES and PERFECT LONG LONG SONGS....and you ended up just the rest of us would...pay to go see him live...You are not going to make any difference in anyone's opinion by your criticisms on his mixing...blah blah blah...and coming off with that argument supporting PVD...you poor bastard...my endless wave of sympathies to you and your "imaginary" PVD Fan Club that you have in your pea brain....Sorry to hear that Tiesto disappointed you in so many ways...but if you really like and fancy LONG LONG MIXES...try Sasha, Digweed or Lee Burridge...they spin long long tunes...with 10-15 mins of tracks simultaneously rolled into one.
Next time, try to listen to Tiesto's recent Live sets to give yourself a feel of what is it like Tiesto Live..Do your homework BOY! Instead of rattling off here like a CHoo Choo train with some bad trip left in your arse...
