Poor little Tiesto....
DJ Magazine ridiculed their Top 100 poll winner Tiesto as an egotistical monster who's lost all grip on reality this week, after the Dutch trance star failed to turn up at their top 100 winners party in London.
According to the magazine, the Dutch star pulled out just hours before the party was due to start because he was struggling to perfect a magic trick for a dance festival scheduled the next day, prompting an enraged response from the British mag. “Since his shock win in 2002, Tiesto has been feeding his ego with a score of high profile events; gigs in football stadiums, a gig in New York’s Central Park- a gig at the fucking Olympics,” DJ sneered. “Fair play, no other top 100 winner has used the title for such shrewd and calculating PR. He’s the biggest DJ on the planet . . . but boy does he know it,” they added. The mag went on to highlight the fact he’d got a mate to mix last year’s compilation Tiesto Presents Magik Muzik when he won last year and also mocked his choice of rider for this year’s event which included booze, Red Bull and a selection of cheeses. “Rock stars ask for mountains of cocaine and racks and racks of whores,” they scoffed. “It says a lot for dance music when Tiesto is happy with a cheese fucking sandwich.” Elsewhere in the same issue, club reviewer Paul Clarke was equally scathing in a review of the night, focusing on the moment when editor Lesley Wright announced him as a no-show. “There’s an understandable sense of disappointment from some corners of the crowd- alongside a sigh of relief from those of us who’d prefer to solder our ear together than actually have to listen to his turgid tosh (rubbish- slang Ed),” he spat. “Much as we respect our readers’ choice, we don’t actually have to agree with it, you know?” Tiesto’s fall from grace could present opportunities for Armin Van Buuren, who came third in this year’s poll with a DJing style apparently based on minimal record shopping and relentless repetition. The Dutch trancer’s technique was revealed in a press release for his forthcoming mix compilation Universal Religion 2004, Live From Armada in Ibiza, which captured one of his seven acclaimed Amnesia sets this summer. “This is a collection of summer memories from one of dance music’s heroes of the moment,” the press release explained. “The 14 tracks on Universal Religion 2004 could be heard in almost every set Armin played in Ibiza.”

Michael did an interview with him for Ion magazine a few years ago..(? i think, maybe a year and a bit ago, give or take)
he said Tiesto constantly refers to himself in the third person when he talks, my friend couldn't figure out if this was due to a language barrier, or if this is because he was really, really full of himself..haha

uhhhhhhhhhhh who cares? I mean if you ask for food you are arrogant, if you ask for hookers and blow you are an asshole. There are more annoying riders out there. And didn't he have the booking at the Olympics already before the top 100 was published? And not this is not a plead for Tiesto it just seems like a little slander attack because he didn't show up (which is lame, and not justified) - ë Last edited by Haze; Nov 20, 04 at 07:18 AM.

I don't think it matters if you're the biggest dj in the world or not, it you make plans to be at a gig, or award show and people are expecting you there - you show up and give it your best.
It's for the music anyway, for someone to turn down an oportunity and honour like that is just plain being selfish. I've seen tiesto before, and he's good, I'll give him that - but I think it's kinda a responsibility to show up to an award ceremony when you're raned number 1 - and it's not like he had any other previous arrangements for that night

Isnt this the 3rd year he has been voted #1 dj from their magazine? If so, then he doesnt need to show up to every single awards show, espically if he has a gig or something better to do. The magazine was just mad because they wanted Tiesto to be there to make their magazine look better, and he didnt show so he could go spin for a whole bunch of people... aw poor magazine..
