Re: [Dance Paradise] Whats Your Opinion on Tiesto????

Armin van Buuren does the same things Tiesto does and maybe even worse. He gets his arms in the air and it's like he wants everyone to follow him.

I think they're better DJ's out there then just those two.

I personally love trance around 2000

Well recently i have been rather critical of tiesto. I hate the God
like status that has built up around him. Seriously, look at live
footage of him and you will see what i mean.....his sets have huge
numbers of undancable break-downs in them in which a stupid MC yells
for everyone to cheer for Tiesto in which everyone like mindless
zombies cheers out for him etc......that is NOT what trance music is
about.

Then there are the people who are there, who think he is a God simply
becasue (on the whole) most of them havent listened to enough Trance
music to know what is good and what is not becasue he has the most
number of albums under his name than any other DJ so that is all they
have heard.

The final insult (i could go on with this rant but i will spare you
all!!!) is that these zombies all rave and say his best work is stuff
liek Adagio For String, Traffic and Flight 643 which are some of the
most un-trance like songs EVER made. Also....anyone noticed how
Flight 643, Traffic and Dance 4 Life ll sound incredibly
similar.....Filght 643 was enough.....we really didnt need more
sounding like it!

The real reason for writing this though is that i have just
remembered i had his artist album "In My Memory" and im listening to
it now feeling slightly stupid.

It is actually a very musical album showing that he doesnt just make
horrible industrial trance. Yes Flight 643 is there but there will
always be one song on an album you are not as fond of.

The begining 3 or 4 tracks would be accpeted by anyone as not being
rubbish regardless of whether they like EDM or not and then the more
club based tracks like Obsession and Suburban Train are very good
indeed making this a very good album all in all inmy opinion and
shows that Tiesto is not a complete sell out.

So thats me over....what do you think about him past and present....?

BTW i knw In Your Memory was released in 2002 but trance is in such a
mess at the moment that i though it best to annalyse from a little
while ago just becaseu that would be fairer than annalysing the music
now.....the God like status STILL applies today though!!!! I still
dont like that and its going to be worse than ever this year with his
night in Ibiza!
