Tiesto opinions

I like all of his earlier work. I only care for a few tracks out of the countless he has put out in recent years.
 
Personally, I'm not a big trance fan, but even then I feel like all of Tiesto's songs sound more or less the same, nothing special.
 
Tiesto blows any other DJ out of the water in terms of live performances; his productions are not always that impressive, I admit.

Ferry is a pretty close 2nd.
 
Tiesto is pretty lame, he can put together a good mix but so can the next guy. He has mediocre talent as a producer, his stuff isn't that great.

He's way overrated, I have more respect for the artists that produce the tracks he puts on his comp.'s. and not so much tiesto himself.

Compare to Van Dyk, who can put together a good mix and play awesome sets like Tiesto; but who also has composing skills in the studio. DJ and producer, best of both worlds, multi-dimensional, etc.

the last 2 times dyk was in nyc he sucked big time imo
 
he is what got me into electronic music. and i bet i am not the only one who got into edm this way.

i have since moved on because i think his stuff does all sound similar and he is moving away from the electronic scene and more into the mainstream scene. not even mainstream electronic. so i will give credit where it is due. get the first three "in search of sunrise" albums and enjoy. then grow from there to other artists.
 
i dont know if its because i haven't listened to tiesto enough but from what I have heard I dont know what is so good about it.

its too mellow for me and i dont like when vocals are introduced
 
Can't be bothered to read all 6 pages but i can tell you the tone easily.

Side one: fuckin overrated mainstream sellout wanker non-mixing one track-after-the-other- blah blah blah blah.

Side two: Freakin god! OMG i saw him and creamed my pants,came again, rememebered everything I EVER loved about music and rediscovered joy in life and all of creation!

Me: I like the guy. but def fall in between these two. Trance was my first love...and say what you will....I'll say till I die he did and still does create very moving trance sets. IMHO more so on disc than in person.

THAT SAID...i actually (having seen him 5 times) prefer his live sets(and DL'ed countless), as far as getting the fuck down, to his comps/artist albums. He tends to be edgier,darker, and more progressive live....with the levels of variation depepnding on timeframe. Saying he mixes in and mixes out....track 2 track....utter BS. Trance best-hit type CD comps maybe...but live....simply not so. And I'd guess many who say so say that merely based on his comps or even reputation and what their 'hardcore mad jungle-head' friends say. "Fuck that pussy shit yo!" etc....

Form your own opinion, see him live. Grow a pair and have the balls to admit he might be a good dj even though you dun like his style,his playlist....maybe you dont like his plurred out fans, or even the way he mans the decks. None of that means he is a sub-par dj not deserving of respect. just means you been going heavy on the hater-aide. ;)

Oh yeah...i forgot...and since he's big-ticket he is of course a fuckin sellout now. of course! and any true fan of the music(ala' indie/punk/alternative/garage/hardcore/whatever-the-fuck you think makes you edgy and in-the-know because your "str8" neighbors don't know about it) would see him for the farce he is! riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. music snobs love living in the world of their own self-satisfaction.

Been listening to(and seeing live dj's) electronic for around 12 yrs now....and i consider that late to the scene. And when i saw Tiesto in ATL last yr it was a good damn show. Of his later productions...while not a club-banger by any means....I think "Driving to Heaven" is a very nice piece. Nice driving music. Nice mood.

I'd see him again any time he rolls thru.

my $.02.
 
Meh, I didn't bother to read the thread, but while I'm not big into Tiesto's later stuff, his Majik 1, 2, 6 and ISOS 1, 2 and 3 are defining trance albums that are timeless.
 
Tiesto is expensive to see.

I think he's going to soon be the equivalent of a nostalgia act -- well established and respected, but not new or fresh anymore. Selling out big corporate arenas of middle-aged fans.
 
I may hate him with a similarly gauged passion...;) Nah, each to their own. Some of his tracks have sweet melodies; just can't listen for too long. He needs to work on his production IMO...
 
is there some kind of chart or graph you've made showing where at your level of love for tiesto is?
 
my love for tiesto fills the room from here to here ;)
