Tiesto and the APC40???

[McQ714]

you've got to be fucking kidding me!

that's the best he could do for a video? what's with the flare? does he really take himself that seriously?

and what song is he bouncing to? he doesn't even go with the beat.

Wow. The 80s just called and want their red plether jacket back.

What is he actually doing on the APC40? Everything sounds pretty prearranged to me. I may be wrong. Would someone else like to comment?

tiesticle.

[McQ714]

a part of me envies the guy for being a wildly successful "record player", while the rest of us work our 6 am to 8 pm jobs and make shit for income. but at the same time, i'm not a big fan of his anymore (even though "silence" is still one of the most epic songs i've ever heard!) and i don't know what's worse... being a tarnce DJ or a pop music producer.

and i don't know what's worse... being a tarnce DJ or a pop music producer.

Only one way to find out...POLLLLLL!

[McQ714]

ok, there it is.

go vote!

[liveISlife]

Dam this is hard. I mean both are pretty bad. Can you define "worse".

[McQ714]

lol.. i would've added a third option that both are equally as bad, but i really want an opinion on one or the other.

[liveISlife]

This is how I see it. Tarnce music trolls a lot of people. But pop music trolls more in a more scientific, precisely understood physiological manor. Thus, I shall vote for Pop music.

[beats me]

and i don't know what's worse... being a tarnce DJ or a pop music producer.

I think that's a stupid comparison. You don't have to like pop music to appreciate the production that goes into it, especially taking a nominally to zero talent vocalist and making them sound like gold. There really is no defense of Trance DJs, especially when you compare them to DJs of other genres.

As far as "what is Tiesto doing?", I have yet to see a video of him doing anything or tweaking knobs or faders that is actually having a noticeable effect on the music. It's simply astonishing that him and his handlers let anybody with a camera get within 50 feet of him "performing".

[supamonsta]

I'd prefer beeing a pop producer, there IS some good pop music, isn't it??

and between the 2, I doubt that a tarnce DJ will really get so much $$$. Pop music is played everywhere, so the copyrights are $$$ paying!

cheers


edit :

and, "DJ" sucks. "PRODUCER" is the king. (so why every dj on earth feels like he HAS to be also a "producer" to appear more serious/pro/musician?)


edit 2 : frak, there was a trap in this poll, I voted for "producer", but in fact the question is "what's worse?".... well, who does matter about this poll anyway

You don't have to like pop music to appreciate the production that goes into it

I totally agree here beats. Of course the production is amazing. Those guys are just doing a job. There are like highly trained military soldiers. They don't question the politics. They just go in there and do what there told.

[beats me]

I think a producer of anything successful deserves some respect and reacting to an entire genre like a 5-year-old being force fed broccoli is extremely narrow-minded. I don't like Trance for the most part but have found a workaround by just convincing myself that the Trance tracks I do like are actually Progressive House.

I respect some successful DJs but not near the level of successful producers. Without successful producers DJs would be nothing and that doesn't work in reverse.

Force fed broccoli!
