Yea, the R&B track surprised me, I was also like 'WTF' this doesnt fit in...but geeeeeeeeeeeeeez, relax people it was literally for a couple of minutes and a good business decision by Tiesto whether you like it or not. Puff is a big name in the music industry and playin one of his artist records for a couple of minutes shows respect and should not really cause this much annoyance. |
I don't think he should be working on "business" while he's trying to spin and please a crowd of around 2,000 by playing some random stuff. If he wants to makes some business decisions...do it outside of the DJ booth. It looks like that song didn't go over to well w/ some of the TAs here (including me) and some of the fans. I personally hate that R&B stuff and can never seem to get away from it! I usually expect to go to a club and expect not to hear that stuff..especially Tiesto.
But hey...what can you do. |

lol everyone is getting so mad for 2 minutes of play...other then that you cant say it was a bad night....it was great music the whole time
everyone expects too much of tiesto nowadays, and keeps comparing the docks set in 2003 to these shows....
maybe the tracks back then were hotter then the tracks out now.... |

he'd probably find the Zone sketchy as hell lol...
I have no problem w/ P Diddy..he's a great man. Wasn't he listed as the richest person under 30 or something in the US (by Forbes magazine or something).
I just don't think that Trance and R&B belong together..thats all. |

WTF are you talking about? In your world there is a top 40 Trance station in T.O. negating
any need for hard core fans. The afore mentioned who made Tiesto their passion (back down here on this planet) in a time where to even know about the guy you have to go out looking: also being the reason he's set up the way he is, sites like this and why you had a clue. Do you know what a Wednesday night show even means? An easy going attitude is the antiasthis of a hard core fan. Besides, the one thing that sets Trance appart is the journey for f sakes. I didn't pay $125 so he could have a jerk off tribute to some banger. An artist doesn't defile their art because somebody walked in the room. A poser move and a vibe kill. The corner stone to success for Tiesto has always been that a DJ is nothing if he isn't connecting with his dance floor. That was like getting splashed with cold water in your sleep. Then the whole T shirt thing ...Bahhh! it!:mad: :whip: |
Yep. I dunno about the t shirt thing but alright. Tijs got me into the music 6 years ago roughly, it's too bad he's so inconsistent I will never go see him again. Meh. Tiesto in 2001 and prior untouchable, Tiesto after 2003...meh. My recollection of the 2002 Docks jam was this: I was at that party in June of 2003 @ the Docks even though I wasn't going to go. Hix mixing was the kind that I've seen better from him, his track selection was good in that the tracks he chose were good ones but they didn't flow. He started off with a proggy house tune (Junkie XL - Red Pill blue pill) as his first tune and then drops nothing but trance afterwards then goes to prog again with Dirty sticky floors and then plays more trance then techno towards the end? I mean it makes no sense because he's just randomly switching between all the genres, there is no flow. Armin and Ferry were much better at keeping flow than Tijs was/is. I've been to parties where you'd get melodic house djs (Sander K, Eric Morillo) blasting out trancey tunes with house type vocals that fit their style PERFECTLY yet are suited to a certain type of party. This should also apply to a dj that wants to change up styles but do it PROPERLY. This is what Tiesto hasn't done, (and consequently a lot of the other larger names don't do either lately). A set should start off a certain way then lead to somewhere else, expectedly but also surprised by that perfect track that's just dropped in RIGHT at the perfect time. THAT is how progression should be done within a set. But if Tiesto makes people happy by playing any random tune thrown anywhere in a set then so be it...but anybody can do that no?
P.S I posted this before but altered it slightly to fit this thread...I'm also w Kaveh on this... |
