Give ur head a shake buddy. He's #1 for a reason. My point is made right there i don't need to write anything else, ur just wasting my time now.

Sasha appeals to a diffrent crowd, it doesn't make sense to compare them IMO.

Both are great at what they do.

But OBVIOUSLY he's gotta be horrible concidering in energy 2000 he's just NOT COMPARABLE to sasha...

Why do you think he sells out every show and rocks the fuckin house?
Why do you think everyone who hears he's coming goes to buy his tickets as fast as they can?
Why do you think he's one of the most demanded dj's out there right now?
Well maybe it's because he is one of the best dj's out there and for some reason you just can't really see that.

I know for one thing... Dj Sasha Couldn't And Doesn't Sell out 60,000 plus crowds every month, BUT He still must b better then tiesto...

Oh my fuck! What part of this thread don't you understand? Is it the fact that "Tiesto is my favorite DJ in the world", or is it "He's a phenomenal producer" or perhaps "His track selection is great"?
A question was posed to FNK as to the validity of his #1 status - a status that implies that he has a way with the decks , not his fucking popularity you momo. You're getting your back up about your dilusions about me calling him horrible.
HE'S MY FAVORITE TOO YOU FUCKING MORON! Sasha is a better DJ technically, but Tiesto plays a more popular style to tunage as everyone here keeps saying.

Instead he's inundating the consumer market with completely pointless DVDs.

I defer my opinion of Tiesto to Kent. He pretty much sums it up right here.

[Séguin]

Oh god. Who wants a DVD of a DJ doing a live set? That's so lame! Even if one of my favourite DJs put out a DVD I wouldn't buy it.

[Sykonee]

Hey, Ponz! Leave the noob alone. It's not his fault he hasn't explored EDM enough to know any better.

As for this:

It seems to be the new cool thing to hate on Tiesto these days, guess people got sick of hating on Oakie hehe.

For the record, I don't hate on Tiesto. Good music is good music, irregardless of whom mixes it or produces it, and Tiesto does DJ good music. However, as Mirka stated, many of those tracks are available to be heard elsewhere other than a Tiesto set (granted, some of them may have been exposed thanks to Tiesto). Why is it worth my while and money to pay more money to hear something I can hear elsewhere on the cheap?

For the party and vibe? Sorry, but this doesn't fly with me. A party vibe is what you make of it, irregardless of who's providing it. I don't doubt Tiesto can create a fun atmosphere, but then so does Buuren, Glaude, Dan, Felix, Alkan, Bones, Vath, Lashes, etc, etc. I'd have just as much fun at any of these guys/gals' gigs as I would at Tiesto's. When you loose yourself into the night, such things as who's proviving the music becomes quite irrelevent.

Yet, so many people seem to think that only Tiesto is capable of these things, just because he was voted #1 DJ for two years running by a magazine. And it is this ignorance that I tend to dislike. Whenever I might slag Tiesto, it's not because I dislike his work; I just wish to remove this god-like image so many seem to have of him in hopes of showing there is more to EDM than Dutch trance DJs.

Fortunately, the longer anyone sticks with EDM, the more they realize this as well. :)

Personally, I'd have to agree with the majority of this thread. Tiesto is not the greatest dj. Sasha is by far more talented when it comes to tearing up the decks, reading the crowd etc. it's like comparing Britney Spears to Tori Amos. Britney writes, sings, produces what people want to hear, Tori Amos has extreme talent on the piano, writing, etc.

The "Majority" of people who are into Tiesto are only into him because of his popularity. Popularity because he plays sounds that accomplish nothing but fluff. Every other producer in the industry is coming out with new sounds trying their best to further evolve the music. His productions as of late have been soooo boring ie. Traffic. It seems as though his productions are just recycled, he has not come up with anything new.

As far as dj'ing goes, the fact that being a dj involves giving the audience what they want to hear, he is definitely talented in that regard. His mixing is horrible, but the next track that he plays will surely put a smile on your face. And that is what this music is all about, is it not?

All in all i take Tiesto for what he is, a #1 dj who is helping the music gain steam. I heard a Tiesto track on 95,3 a couple weeks ago and it made me smile because I knew that there was a person out there in radioland who had never heard that type of music and was compeletly turned on by it, now they're hooked! Just the same as I was a little while back. Ahh Nostalgia.

teisto is awesome in my books... not the best but hes the most popular. he rocks the place though i saw him last time he came to the commodore and just went for a ride! that was one of the most fun nights i've ever had i think?

sasha is legendary. but then again sasha is in a different league.. and has been voted number 1 (or at least the top 5) for like 5 years on the dj mag chart. and while he was number 1 people talked shit as well.

tiesto deserves to be where he is. his mixing is probably deteriorating the more he plays at all these loud parties all over the world but his production is what gets him where he is. any retard can dj... many can read a crowd, but not many can produce at such a high calibre and present it through such a high level of djing like tiesto does.

[hardstylin]

i dont like him his mixs or his track selections fuck trance!!

i don't have much to say on tiesto...but to the guy who made this post:

anything sells if it is marketed well, especially if you already have a reputation. just look at the new Star Wars movies. Bad Bad Bad movies, but yet they still pull in millions of dollars because they are riding on the name Star Wars. Then go and look at some underground and Indie films that are just brilliant but hardly make any money because their marketing isn't as good.

It's the same with music...if you're marketed right, you can ride a long way on your name and image, whether you are good or not.

that being said...tiesto? meh, i don't like trance very much but he has some good tracks, can't really say much on him though since i'm not well informed at all.

What a pointless thread =P
