| quote: | | Also the reaction on my version of Adagio For Strings has been amazing. I made this just for the grand opening for Tiësto In Concert but people ask me to play it wherever I go. This past weekend I played it in Athens as one of my last tracks. It was near the waterfront in a venue with around 4000 people. It was 7 in the morning and the sunrise was on its way. An incredible moment I will not forget, 4000 screaming Greeks with hands in the air, sunrise and Adagio playing. I had goosebumps all over!. Moments like that remind me of the reason why I want to be a deejay... |
well i was there (hm...this happened in Thessaloniki too,didnt know he played in Athens too,maybe Tiesto was confused? and he meant about Thessaloniki..)anyway nice moment and one of the highlights of the night by ending with his rmx for adagio for strings ...but the rest part of his set was not as good as the last time i heard him...some old-usual tracks and some mixing problems...anyway...i believe tiesto is going to be no.1 again coz of all the "tiesto-madness" but imo i personally prefer Armin! I also heard him live couple of weeks ago and he Rulez! Much better than the Tiesto set i heard last weekend...
(sorry for the bad english and the many stuff i wrote) :cool: |

Tiesto had a rough time in his sets for a little while there, but over the last several months his sets have been grand for the most part. Still my favorite DJ....6 years and counting.

If you got nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all about him. Its pointless to jump on a trash-talking bandwagon just too sound cool in a forum. He works really hard for the music and the scene.
Can't wait to see him here for NY!! :D |
Firstly, this is an opinion forum about EDM. Anyone can say whatever they'd like to as long as it doesn't threaten others.
Secondly, it doesn't make me feel "cool" or "special" to say the things that I did because I used to be a very big fan of his.;)

Tiesto may have lost it a little in terms of producing, but nyana, skin, traffic, adagio for strings are far better than PVD's recent productions |
I agree with this.
There's only about 2 or 3 songs on PVD's latest album that I find listenable. Reflections is garbage compared to 76 or especially In My Memory or airdrawndagger. No offense to PVD fans. He can mix breaks very well! :)

This a "DJ" poll you know? Not a producer poll.
I saw him live in June and he was good. His set had great flow and it wasn't too techy. Then I downloaded his EM set from Amensia, absolutly terrible. His track selection is nowhere near what it use to be.....
If he's voted the #1 Dj again then people should be really venture out and listen to some other dj's. If they did, they'd realize Tiesto isn't the world's best..... |
The amnesia set is the one I'm talking about that was so awful. I guess he's very hit and miss these days. When I saw him in May I had fun, but it was not anywhere near his level of a few years ago.
That's also what I'm trying to say about listening to other DJs. There are many better ones out there who can give you the same feeling you crave.
-Let me also add I'm not trying to be like those people that just slag him for the fun of it. I realize I've done that to a small degree, but I will only make constructive posts (like this one) from now on. |

GET A IN' LIFE! |
again, 1. i'am going to say. i'am not putting him down..please read my reasons in my second post. 2. just because i don't hail tiesto as the #1 dj anylonger, doesn't make me a "ignorant ass rangers" hahaha and what is an ignorant ass ranger anyways? :haha: 3. I HAVE A ING LIFE!!! RELAX!!!:rolleyes: |

Exactly. Tiesto is my #1 dj. Armin and Ferry don't even make it to my Top 50, they are just not artists of the calibre that Tijs is. PvD is very high up for me because of his mixing, but I'll take a Tiesto set over a PvD one any day because I prefer the Dutch sound. ;)
Dave, which Amnesia set are you talking about? He plays there every week. Please don't tell me you're talking about the 7-27 one, that set is a masterpiece. :thepirate
edit: yeah the EM is not that good, but mainly because of Radio 1's bad quality recording. That set is not as beautifully constructed as the 7-27 one, with those breaks at the beginning and all. |

Hmmm yea, good to vote him number 1 DJ because of his productions :rolleyes: |

i don't agree with that at all though. i think tracks such as Nyana, Barber rework, Radiohead and Skin remixes, and even Traffic ( a track he did for 'fun' ;) )etc. are some the most interesting, unique and forward thinking Dutch trance productions that have come out this year. |
If only they had all actually come out :p |

You have got to be fukin ting me!!!
armins done so much like wot?????:nervous: :nervous:
hes played on an internet radio show every week and done some livesets??
his album was ok nothing special, i mean dont get me wrong i think armins very very good but i dont see wot all of you are talking about when u say hes done so much.
maybe just my opinion but i find him and ferry really really boring now. they play a couple of tracks then a few more that sound exactly the same(not literally but u no wot i mean lol) i mean yes when i listen to some of tijs sets i think ohh i wudnt have done that or played that track there that belonged at the start or wotever but it suprises you gives the set a slight change in direction.
i think this year tiesto has definatly been the hardest working, best producing(i no its a dj poll, not a producers one!) and has mixed some of the best livesets of the year dont forget about the hundreds we never hear like the one in amnesia where he finished with andain beautiful things(photon project remix) my friend was there and he said it was the best live set hes ever heard and he doesnt even like tiesto that much hes a big pvd fan! he said tijs blew pvd away!
so to cut all that short i think tiesto definatly does deserve no.1 again this year for all his hard work, his hectic schedule that in the summer saw him almost collapse at the space afterparty! thats dedication! |

| No wonder that TRAFFIC was made by mistake ! sounds like a 2 second production and now i understand why ! the worst tune of the year IMO and i think ppl "LOVE" this track only because it was made by tijs !! If it werent his no one would have noticed this garbage !!! Thats my opinion anyway .... |

i would bet my whole life you would never make a tune as good as traffic in 2 seconds or by "mistake"...just my opinion |
