Bad CD. Least of his worries imo. I can't believe he gets paid so much to play that song at almost every single gig. |
Yes... Yes he does!! Jealous?? |

I'm pretty sure everyone is jealous of tiesto to some degree. Who wouldn't want all his money and pseudo-fame for playing some CD's up on a stage to a chemically enhanced crowd that's loving every song? Sure, you can take issue with his music, but the job of a successful (read: rich) pro DJ is something that I would think everyone on this forum would take in about a second.
Still, the fact that any DJ, but especially one as technically and musically unremarkable as Tiesto, can get to where he is today makes a very profound statement about electronic music and the way it's enjoyed by most people. |

I don't consider Tiesto to be a professional, personally.
Second, the idea of taking his job if it were hypothetically on offer to anyone is pretty stupid. To take his job would be to take on his entire identity, because the identity that he has created is what brings in the money. In effect you would have to surrender whoever you are and become Tiesto, and I'd never in a million years do that. |

First of all, I was purposefully ambiguous in my post, saying pretty much anyone on this forum would want to be a successful pro DJ, which is something I KNOW you of all people would go for given the chance.
Secondly - in particular with Tiesto, his "identity" only manifests itself on stage and in publicity photos. Nobody really cares about who he is or what he does when he's not playing music because he's just not that famous. At least not here in the states. I have no idea what its like for him in europe.
If you would really be unwilling take a job where all you need to do is play some (mostly bad) music for a few hours once or twice a week while jet setting to exotic locations and getting paid millions of dollars annually you must have a sick ing job right now. |

Actually I do not have a sick job right now, I'm only 23.
In a few years I hope to be doing mostly that minus the bad music and exorbitant salary.
So yes, I wouldn't take the job.
I'm surprised that it is so difficult to understand that some people might not want to ever be anything like Tiesto. The idea itself to me of saying "would you be this person?" doesn't make sense to me in the first place.
Like, would I be Bill Gates because he's rich? Yeah sure. I'd like to be rich. I'd like to be paid as well as Tiesto sure. But the hypothetical is sort of a pointless question. I am me. I am not going to be those people, so what is the point in even asking, or getting upset because you don't like my answer? :p |

Dance music wise?
Ryan Elliot
Three
Ricardo Villalobos
Shaun Reeves
Doc Martin
DJ Harvey
John Digweed
Lee Burridge
etc.
Even Paul Van Dyk, as gash as the music he plays may be, is imo far more "professional" than Tiesto. He puts on something of an original show. |
