| Tiesto is so bad these days, nothing but farty car alarm electro . Honestly, I see his face on some of these live streams and I don't think he even likes it, but his ego is so damn big that he can't settle being outside of the "in" thing. |

Yeap! And that's why I haven't gone to see him in 2 years. I don't like that stuff. |

Tiesto's opinion of the new Daft Punk Album
http://www.huffingtonpost.ca/2013/0..._n_3514068.html
During Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, EDM superstar Tiësto had the great thrill of meeting electronic music pioneer Giorgio Moroder, who has been in the news lately for his collaboration with Daft Punk on their acclaimed new album, "Random Access Memories."
“He’s one of my youth heroes,” Tiësto says of Moroder, in a Dutch accent unaffected by well over a decade of DJ globetrotting, over the phone from a hotel room in Washington State. “He’s such a talented producer and to meet him, yeah, it’s one of those things, like, so cool. He comes to my show and he stayed the whole set actually; I played for three hours and he was there for three hours. He’s in his seventies and still rocking strong. We did shots together and it was fun to hang out together. I was honoured that he came actually.”
In Moroder's Facebook photo of the two men downing the aforementioned shots, Moroder can be seen sporting earplugs, which suggests it may have been a little too loud to have a good chat or plan some kind of project together.
“We didn’t have much conversation but we exchanged numbers after the set.,” Tiësto admits. “We are going to sit together soon in L.A. or Vegas and we’re really going to talk. We need to have a conversation but something will happen. I mean, he did a collaboration with Daft Punk, so why not with me?” he chuckles.
Indeed, why not Tiësto? What’s so special about Daft Punk? Everyone is still talking about their new record but Tiësto isn’t really feeling it.
“It got so much attention because it’s so different and it’s an attitude album,” he says. “It’s cool to like Daft Punk. Even if you’re not into the song, as soon as you hear [“Get Lucky’”], you see all the cool people go, ‘Oh yeah, this is cool, that’s my song,’ and they don’t really even enjoy it.
“I’m destroying them now,” Tiësto catches himself. “Sorry Daft Punk.”
Tiësto goes on to say that he really likes the band’s old stuff, like the "Homework" LP or solo productions by Thomas Bangalter on the Roulé label, where he says Banglater “made some amazing tunes.”
“But the 'Tron' soundtrack wasn’t that great and this is not great, either,” he argues. “But because it’s Daft Punk and they’re supposed to be cool and they had the amazing pyramid at Coachella a couple of years ago and the helmets — they’re ing cool. But the music doesn’t deliver on the hype so much.”
When asked to elaborate on his comment that cool people pretend to like Daft Punk, Tiësto says he’s observed this firsthand at a party. “Get Lucky” came on and these girls got excited and started dancing to it so he approached them.
“I said, ‘Lemme ask you a question; do you really like this song?’ And they went quiet and were like, ‘Uh…it’s all right, it’s all right,’” he laughs. “That’s what I mean. Because it’s Daft Punk and we want to believe the hype; we are cool people so we have to think this is cool.”
Tiësto just released a new mix album called "Club Life 3: Stockholm" and has been hitting the road for shows, including sets at Toronto’s Digital Dreams Festival on June 30, Ottawa’s Escapade Festival on July 1, and Festival d'été de Québec in Québec City on July 11. |

My response to that from a FB thread:
I like RAM. It's different, DP did its own thing. It took awhile to grow on me. There's obviously a lot of 70s and 80s influence in there that I don't believe most people realize or catch on to. I think people who do appreciate it more.
In the end, Tiesto could be right, but Tiesto at the same time needs to put his foot in his mouth. When was the last time Tiesto produced anything, on his own, that was actually good? It's been years. Many, many years. If someone who was currently producing good material and was legendary, then I would let it slide. But Tiesto isn't one of those. He's a legend right now, and that's all he has going for him and that's where his popularity is from. If he came out today as a new DJ/producer, he wouldn't even be a blip on the radar. We all know that his current programming sucks and doesn't cover his inability to mix well (which he never has been real good at, but his programming used to make up for it). He's a DJ who is all over the place and himself is currently popular due to the hype around him and his name, and nothing to do with his current skills. I don't see Tiesto as a sell-out. He just changed. That's OK. But even the stuff he's changed to playing is crap, even within its own genre. Simple as that. Don't put his word on PRODUCING music on a pedestal when there's currently no pedestal worthy of putting him on in regards to creating his own music.
Also, everyone who knows Tiesto's background that he wasn't even the main person who produced a lot of his popular tracks. The ones that made him legendary. He, like many others, used a couple people to help and they tended to do most of the work. It's not uncommon, so I can't really hate on it. It's how it is.
Side note: I will always respect Tiesto for what he has done with EDM. Still favorite DJ and I guess producer of all time, but doesn't mean he's great at all times. Right now, he's pretty terrible. All hype. |
