What tiesto lacks in originality, he makes up for in addictiveness. not really my cup of tea, either, i must say, but i do say he has good production/addictive qualities, if anything. as for this video, im watching it for the funny manner of speaking that this guy calls his own. ten points on that one!

It just makes me sick to see people give him credit so blindly, like he's some sort of music God. Is dispute that, and wish to point out that he doesn't deserve anywhere near the credit he gets. Sure, the tunes are good, people are having a good time. It's not that I wish to spoil people's good time. I just wish to throw a reality check out there, that he isn't a musician or music artist.
People are fantasizing what he does, because in their eyes he "must" be good. He isn't.

I'm a DJ myself and I do not do it because of fashion.
Dig that you make fun of Tiesto ;-) But, I really do not understand what you are getting at with all this. It's about getting the job done right and with so many differences of DJ personalities and audiences I really think every situation is its own thing.

Ok, I see a clear distinction between actually making music using turntables as an instruments. He also uses some synthesizing mixers looks like, I'm guessing.
Not my cup of tea necessarily, but impressive.
On the other end of the spectrum there are such lamos as Tiesto with crowds of worshiping doofuses.
I guess we're all in agreement now.

Testicle xD oh and please watch watch?v=1BYR0Es6U_A to finally understand what im saying. pretty please... please :]

I would most definitely classify Testicle as a "turntable-ist".
But I can appreciate if a DJ brings truly unique and new tunes to the table. But it better be more than just changing records and flowing one into the other with the odd scratch.

When I see Tiesto put on William Orbit's version of Adagio for Strings, and see the entire audience get all excited and cheering Tiesto like he's some sort of god bring everyone his wonderful music, I feel like throwing up. An audience of doofuses. |
