| You expect these guys to bring variety to their gigs when they're spinning 3-4 times per week. There just aren't that many good songs out there, no matter how many genres you employ. |

| Completely agree, Armin seems the most down to earth and friendly DJ you could meet. Seems like an absolute geezer, I think he actually has a lot of variation in his sets, he changes his tracks a lot actually, no more and no less than other DJ's, unfair criticism imho |

YOU ARE ALL TRANCE NERDS
Maybe if you didn't listen to ASOT every week and download all of Armin's sets and all the latest tracks, then you wouldn't be so quick to bash Armin Van Buuren.
Here's an idea: don't listen to ASOT, don't download any more sets, don't download any more tracks and then go see him or any other DJ......you guys seem to forget that a DJ plays for the people in the club, not all the 1337 mp3 kiddies and ASOT nerds who have heard every set that he does and every new track a thousand times.
I seem to remember exactly the same arguments last year about how PVD kept playing the same sets over and over again. DJs play for the people in the club, not the people on the internet. :rolleyes: :eek: |

Absolutely 110% spot on.
Its just such a damn shame people do this, and you my friend, have layed it down very well :) Guess how many ASOT I have EVER listened to....
One...
ONE show of ASOT I have listened to out of the 150. And that was to listen to my online buddy, MK-S, get his remix of Haak - Frenzy, broadcasted from AvB!
I don't need to listen to AvB to get the latest tunes, I do it out of my own research - this is prolly why I see people's tracklistings looking exactly the same. How many people now have Markus Schulz in their playlists? See what I mean ;)
AvB, wether you like it or not, is one of the best trance DJ's around, in person or online, he does the same thing he has been doing for many years, and thats rocking crowds.
Well put Vigilante! |

| Friday Night was the best trance night in Boston imo since PVD Halloween of 2002 and this night may have even topped that. |

i had to add my two cents into this
He played a great set, that's about all the original poster wanted to say. then there are flamers who say that he should stop ASOT. now that makes no sense.
i try to listen to ASOT every week if i can, because it's an opportunity for me to hear the latest tunes around and then hear a nice non-stop hour mix from Armin himself. Obviously he is doing something right if the majority of his listeners continue to tune in every week. After all, he doesn't make ASOT sets to please a single person, there are compromises to be made when YOU are behind the decks.
Armin can mix at times, and in other times he's not so good (Live @ Sublime Sydney 1/23/2004 *cough*) but if the man can put on a show when he goes on live, have many fans including yours truly fanatically devoted to his weekly show, and have whatever track he plays gets hyped for more than it is worth, then the man has to be doing something right.
tracks in his live sets from his ASOT? of course!, not everyone has the opportunity to hear these tracks over and over again (i bet alot of the TA's have ripped livesets and i believe some TA's judge DJ's on their livesets without actually attending the event...like last year's bashing of Tiesto and PvD)
anyway that's just my two cents, aside from everything, he's #1 in my book |

If Armin's doing ASOT, and people are tuning in and enjoying it -- which they are -- then by all means, he is entertaining and perhaps even filling a need, and I encourage continuation of this.
I don't see why a fuss needs to be made :)
'Cause otherwise... it's just...
REDUNDANT!
