agreed. tiesto. :) Have a nice day. |
comments like this make forums .
I dont think tiesto has gone crap or boring of etc. etc.
It simple, he has become a really big success, and because of this poeple think he getting too commercial and are starting to turn elsewhere.
If your good at what you do, and your a success, you wil become commercial, you have no choice in the matter.
Its a trend atm to have a go at people who make it big.
another example is pvd. |

post late 2002ish (after the summer and his DJ Mag top 100 #1 nomination)his sets started to sound like garbage and his production went the same way with a few exceptions, it just doesn't seem like he's trying anymore, IMO. |
I think it's more that he's overextending himself with events and touring. He still has talent, but he's just not applying it as much anymore because he doesn't really have to. |

completely agreed, obviously he still has the talent, but he's just making a buck off his name before he retires and starts caring about family etc. PvD however already has a family and still performs better than Tiesto at sets, although one can argue that he hasn't come with much production wise.
i will always respect Tiesto for what he has done for the genre, however I can choose not to listen to his current and that's just what I do, personally Magik 6 was teh best |

Whatever, none of you seem to be wanting to answer the question in this thread, even if it was answered in other threads. You seem content enough to give your damn opinion and not back it up with any sort of credibility.
I like Tiesto's work. I can't believe someone would just say 'I don't like Tiesto' as though they are saying 'I don't like Tijs Verwest', like they have some objection with the person, himself. I'm willing to bet you don't even know him.
What I know is, Magik 1-7 is on my shelf and I listen to them all the time. It's obvious that, as a DJ, he picked his tracklisting, and I happen to think that he did a damn-fine job from Magik 1 (1997) to Magik 7 (2001) - he was at the top of his game, whatever that really means. Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise albums are absolutely wonderful, and I really enjoyed listening to Nyana. Just Be is where, I think, Tiesto alienated much of his audience - for whatever reason, people just didn't like the sound much. Perhaps it had something to do with him fully producing this one, and people seeming biased towards the fact that all the sounds might be similar? I'm not sure - all I do know is, Just Be is a great album with an excellent balance of high and low moments, vocals and pure technical desolation.
Do people really have to have an explanation for their tastes though? I'm sure Tiesto has always had an anti-following that were pissed when he moved on from his Forbidden Paradise. People change, artists change, you should change with it or just seek musical enlightenment somewhere else.
I'm not here to convince you that Tiesto is a great DJ - you've already made up your mind about that, and to attempt to change somebody's preference through argument is ultimately futile. However, acknowledge the fact that people like(d) him for a reason, regardless of what his present standings are. |
AMEN!! |

first dj to get rated #1 for three consecutive years. He clearly has talent. |
Yes, but his #1 spot does not say anything about his musical talent. |

i can see what your trying to say... it doesnt say much about his production skills, but it does.... he plays most of his own stuff.. |

| From a sheer production point of view, he's changed his style a lot which doesn't really work as well as his older, more uplifting style. He really did that well, but this newer stuff doesn't work as perhaps it could. |
