oldtimer Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 I always have a comment Never said I was off the trance bandwagon but have never been a big fan of Tiesto. Always thought his stuff was good but that there was better stuff out there. In any case, you're right about peeps bashing trance just 'cause its not as popular in the city as it used to be.omg you agreed with me... not....... feeling...... welll......

Spaz44 Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 First, let me lay a foundation before commenting on Tiesto's performance last night.I rarely feel the need to post/reply to this site because, as most of you have pointed out already, a majority of the banter is un-intelligent, un-substantiated, grammatically-incorrect, crap. Second, while most people can waste their days away, being cool, posting all day - my employment at a tier 1 firm prohibits me from doing so. Despite that, the ridiculous posts make for a humorous evening reading. - I have been in the scene for more than 10 years, when SoundFactory was Soundfactory not the twice converted warehouse. With that being said, here are my thoughts about last night and the posts related to that.- In my opinion (and it is only my opinion so try to refrain from the usual BS), there are two ways that people seem to judge how "good" a set is. The most prevailing metric seems to be that a "good" set is determined by how many "top" hits or "recognizable" tracks are played. Case in point: it was or was not a good set because he did or did not play Traffic/Love Comes Again/Flight 643/etc....- The second basis for judgement, and the one I & most of my friends seem to subscribe to, is a little different. It is based on "how many times does the DJ make you stop and/or scream because he is dropping a sick/favorite/personal/rarely played track?" If that is the measuring stick, then despite Tiesto's non-playing of mainstream songs, he made me/us do exactly that at least 10 times last night.- And because of that, I thought it was a great set!---------------------And as a side note to the "amatuer" discussion...some people simply have respect/manners - other's do not. Personally, I hate those that do not, push by, and do not say "excuse me".Sorry for the diatribe...just felt the need to put it out there.Peace!

drdoom Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 -First, let me lay a foundation before commenting on Tiesto's performance last night."I rarely feel the need to post/reply to this site because, as most of you have pointed out already, a majority of the banter is un-intelligent, un-substantiated, grammatically-incorrect, crap.

So the janitorial position you hold at a top tier firm is more prestigious than one at McDonalds? By all means, you are very modest. "Despite that, the ridiculous posts make for a humorous evening reading."Reading the letters I wrote in cum on your girlfriend's stomach makes it a humourous evening.- "I have been in the scene for more than 10 years, when SoundFactory was Soundfactory not the twice converted warehouse.

paradeatw Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 thought his abrupt ending and sneaky exit off the stage was kinda shitty... other than that... people must be nuts...i dont like his CDs, i am not a big trance fan and i dont buy into mainstream crap, BUT his skills cannot be denied... and the PARTY was full of energy... on a wednesday night... at a club that has the best staff around...how could you not have a good time last night (besides being a little too crowded)? i didnt drop a pill, and i even was sick for a bit cause i had one too many, but i still managed to feel damn good because of how happy and vibing everyone was...what looked like 3,000+ people just chillin and remember, he's just a DJ folks... he's not gonna have some kind of crazy stage performance or show that's gonna blow you away... he spins records and that being said... i think he spun them fairly well last night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirie Posted February 25 Report Share Posted February 25 Listen, Tiesto is not for NYC. Period. He might be the # 1 DJ in the world but not here in New York. We are used to more underground hard beats. Don't get me wrong, I used to love Tiesto, PVD, Oakenfold, etc... when I was younger, but now they just don't do it for me. Too comercial and too trancy. It's played out. Good luck in europe tiesto! You belong thereyou read my mind exactly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's played out. Good luck in europe tiesto! You belong therec'mon that's a bunch of crap... what commercial tracks does tiesto play aside from "love comes again"... he's not spinning "castles in the sky" or the "i hit the treadmill everyday" track or lasgo... name me a few non-underground tracks that tiesto has spun the last few weeks/months/year!!! fucking what about basement jaxx and moby.... why do they get respect for branching out edm to the masses but tiesto gets slammed for it?? also while you are frantically busy thinking of "commercial" tracks that tiesto plays you should understand that he's a trance dj... of course he's gonna play "trancey" stuff.... what else is he gonna spin... is he gonna drop rotterdam terror corps in the middle of his set maybe an omar santana track here and there... NO... and god forbid he did change thigns up a bit and started playing house i bet every on here who makes fun of tiesto now will find somethign else to whine about... lol... what is wrong with me?? im addicted to a messageboard filled with a bunch of morons... lol.. spaz.. well put... i found a good portion of hsi set to be kinda repetitive... but those moments you have when a track you're really feeling comes on... ahh can't beat that feeling... it was so nice to hear push - universal nation played out again... it's been a few years..

My fortune 100 company doesn't prohibit me going online and I could care less about you going to Sound Factory 10 years ago. What does going to Sound Factory 10 years ago have anything to do with judging Tiestos set? You were douchbag then as you are now. A great set is determined by a number of things put together including hit-tracks played, exclusive tracks played, flow of tracks, reaction of the crowd/overall atmosphere/vibe, and most important mixing. Tiesto's mixing is not the greatest out there -- but i guess he compensates by hopping around like an idiot and nodding his head and he has become the new Oakenfold - for all those people that came out to see him and paid - he gives them a 2 1/2 hour set?? wtf is that about!i think more people got their moneys worth from Serge Devant - who I would rather listen to over Tiesto any day of the week. cynstam21 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole point of this discussion is to express our opinions, but do it with respect and considerations as to all other users of the board. If you have no respect, you get none in return. Get some manners, learn how to speak your mind as a grown up, not as an ignorant fuck.
