I will always be a fan of Tiesto no matter what, but did anyone here see him live during the "Adagio for Strings" era? I was too young, but i'm sure it must have been a freaking EPIC moment in dance music.
This Charming Man He actually just remixed/reworked Adagio For Strings. William Orbit made a trance track out of the original classical piece which is by Samuel Barber. And man,all I'm saying is you don't know what you've missed...Tiësto is the biggest genius/dj in the history of trance in my opinion,he was truly one of a kind. I saw him 13 times in 4 different countries,saw him play a 12 hour set once. I saw him at his Elements of Life show at the Gelredome,the same place he played in for Tiësto In Concert. Best time of my life when he was still in trance.
His "golden" era was to me a much better experience. But mainly because trance was designed to be epic and huge sounding. I can't fault him for switching genre. But it just doesn't have as much impact as old trance did.
12 hour set? Damn. Speaking of "old" tiesto, i remember seeing tiesto in concert 2 (2004) on dvd as a kid. Ever since then i wanted to see him and luckily 2 years ago it finally happened. He rarely performs in the netherlands anymore just like yellow claw.
Yeah, went to both Tiësto in Concerts, I think I’ve seen him live over 25 times between 2001 and 2005. Still have a shitload of livesets from that era...
I LOVE this man, i met him at Coachella back in 2008, went up to him said hello and he was so kind enough to take a picture and chat with my sister and I. Such a humble man for his status. LOVE YOU!
So he says: "then I try to slow it down and bring more emotional music in..." as Jackie Chan fades in. LMAO. I'm not hating on his newer stuff at all, it's entertaining but emotionless.
Tiesto was the first DJ I saw live at my first music festival (Electric Forest 2011) and lets just say, I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life. Incredible....
I love this man with all my heart, shed a couple tears watching this video. His Wife, Annika and her family are close friends from North Dakota. Sweetest people in the world !!! Sure got lucky to be a part of Tiesto’s life !! Extremely proud of T’s Dj career. THE GREATEST!!!
I've been a fan of Tiesto since day one, I still remember going to my first concert back in 2006 a true legend that even though plays commercial EDM nowadays I still admire and respect him in all senses
Google Moby, Paul Oakenfold, Rollo & Sister Bliss, Junior Vasquez, Carl Cox, Sasha, Danny Tenaglia, they are proper dance music, Tiësto is vacuous pop music.
@thephoenix3155 I know all of them, I saw Paul Van Dyk a few weeks ago and Danny Tenaglia next month. The very first trance song I heard was Suburban Train and since then I fell in love with electronic music. My point was that even though he completely switched styles I respect him for what he was and how he changed the scene in the early 2000s
He and his manager are jerks, I used to see him at least twice a year in an International airport I used to work at. HE WAS HORRIBLE WITH FANS ASKING FOR PICTURES! His manager wanted Oil Prince treatment without paying, both rarely tipped the staff. DJerk Tiesto.
I've never experienced something quite like Tiesto live. No I wasn't high (don't do any drugs), only had a couple of drinks. His performances are something next level. Everyone is happy and vibing together. Very cool
Same here. Saw him for the first time at EDC and you can definitely see the experience in his set. It flowed so naturally and he knew what the crowd wanted. Nothing was chopped up or had awkward pauses. A true professional.
Dance music is not your blood. You started with Trance, you became famous for Trance, You became a millionaire from Trance -> You became a legend in Trance. You evolved in dance and became a god of a DJ for being flexible and being able to continue being a top DJ in different genres -> But just know, trance is your blood. Now go do a trance set and sell some tickets
I’m sure he started music because it was his passion. As we grow we find new passions and that’s what happened here. Happy he is doing what makes him happy regardless of the previous image he is supposed to hold because fans can’t change with him.
Tiesto will always be the best DJ of all! Thru decades of djing he is nothing but phenomenal each and every time I see him play!!! I felt like I grew up with him thru the years!! Keep it up!! See you at the next event!!
Happened to find Tiesto in popular Podcasts when I had first iPod Touch in 2007. As an American; that music I hadn't heard something like this. Trance music and Club music instantly had me hooked. Tiesto's Club Life Podcast is still going strong today and I listen every week. He went from narrating the show in Dutch so long ago and now perfect fluent English. Tiesto's remixes always introduced me to new artists. "Tiesto remix" on the end of a track and I was instant clicking to listen. Great person as well. Married recently and he looks happier then ever. Thanks Tijs. Lekker dat :) I still miss Tim (Avicii) all the time. I hear Netflix is releasing one backed by his family this year in 2023. Can't wait. 3 and a half years after his death and right now he is #72 in the world on Spotify. Wake me up when it's all over, when I'm wiser and I'm older.
I know Tij aka tiesto personally and above the music his has created which is my favorite of all time, tiesto is an amazing person, super down and gives his time to others and really shows he cares for you as another human. He listens and will take time to bond with anyone. Truly one of my favorite people in the world. Very cool guy! I have told him many times I wish you still played Trance. Can you imagine what else he could have created if given another 15 years of creating trance, Legend. I call him King! Kind of like a Elvis Presley of Trance. His music transcends trance and time, Astral Projections are another.
I have been attending dnace music parties and festivals since around 2006, mostly parties until My first taste of a true EDM experience was a concert inside of a small venue called "Lima" in Washington Dc on my birthday Dec. 9th in 2008. It was pretty intense and i was hooked. I went to many underground raves around the DC, VA, and MD area and some music festies like EDC in LA and Orlando, Ultra in Miami, and many individual sets as well. One that sticks out a little more then others was when TIESTO played the ucf arena in 2010. What an incredible night that was. His music took us all on a wild rollercoaster ride of emotions. It was the kaleidoscope remixed tour and his set was so masterfully put together!! Starting with a 7 min song "kaleidoscope" that literally felt like the initial climb to the top peak of a rollercoaster before the beat and all of us dropped in one fell swoop, from that point until we said goodbye, it was a hell of a journey. Because of my completely separate struggles with opiates and alcohol later in life, i was in rehab in north palm beach florida when i met cool chick from Europe. She would always be outside listening to songs on her ipod and through her headphones one day I could hear some EDM specifically Tiesto. We sat and talked a little while about our experiences in the culture. It was incredible to hear her tell us how it was overseas compared to here in the US. One thing that she said though that struck me and I'll never forget it, was this one time she was in the airport somewhere in Europe when she saw Tiesto sitting in the lobby. She said she walked up because he was alone and tried talking to him, but he didn't seem very engaged and maybe even a little agitated. But she said the moment that she asked him "your music is so beautiful how on Earth do you create such a beautiful music?" She said all the sudden his face just lit up and he became super engaged and started telling her all these amazing processes that he goes through to create his music. She said that you could tell that he was completely in love with the music. I always love that because that love of the music has carry him through decades without losing any of its charm on him. He's a great DJ. He was a great when it was just trance and he's still great he's just overall loves music not just pigeonholing his sound into one sub-genre. Thanks for this interview.
I grew up with tiesto loved the old one and still love the new one, if you’re a real fan you wouldn’t care about what he has become you should care about how much he has grown as a dj and how much he had helped dance music grow... will always love this man and I hope to meet him some day
Tiesto (in search of sunrise)was no boubt one of the big reasons I got in to Dance/Trance music nearly 20 years ago but yea... it was 20 years ago and I haven't listened to Tiesto in a loooooooooooong time because he "evolved" in to something I didn't like, but people just need to let people do what they feel is right for them and not condemn it. He's happy and he makes many people happy, we who don't really care for his music anymore can listen to someone else. It's not like there's ever been a drought in electronic music, atleast in my opinnion. My taste has evolved slightly too so it's natural if a DJ's does too. Just do your own things.
When I was young this man opened up a world of music for me with trance Era music, I'm happy to see him do it his way. I'm just happy I lived in the Era of in search of sunrise era.
I still like him for the time he gives to the music industry. He did change but he's still in the music world we love and I guess where his fans want him to be. He did lost some fans over the years but he gained some, too. From the new generation and surely from the upcoming batch of music lovers and artists alike. I wish him the best.
I don't listen to any of his stuff from the past 15 years but I am forever grateful for Lethal Industry., A true trance classic. Glad he is still having fun at 50.
not a fan anymore, miss the oldschool Trance Tiesto personally, not this jumped on the boring every song sounds the same train! Ohh well, we still have Armin :)
Exactly. Armin is killing it right now with his songs and sets. The Hi Ibiza 6h and Untold 7h sets are AMAZING!!. He currently plays almost every genre of the electronic music and it's incredible. Trance lovers do not like that he makes and plays others genres but only Trance all set but c'mon, he does it awesome.
Armin is great as he still keeps the trance banner going and giving talents a chance to shine with ASOT. But for me its Ferry Corsten who is really killing it by been going back to his old 90s melodies and hell he brought Gouryella back (obviously without Tiesto!) and has had some great tunes with that sound!
Being playing his music since he was underground. Good to see he came up and brought EDC to the main Stage. Personally I am old school and I prefer his old music since it was definitely more trance and stayed more truthful to the music. His new music is still good but his initial music is classic in my ears. But good to see he’s remained as humble as always. Just hope he remembers his roots and gets into the trance state a bit more. He’s being pressured I’m sure by the labels he’s in. But money isn’t everything. Armin On the other hand has remain a lot more loyal and has retained more of his integrity musically. Hopefully tiesto reads this. Bring back the SOUL to your music. Money comes and goes. Emotion, transcendence, and love. That’s is what’s makes music immortal..
Imagine eating the same foods or watching the same movies for years. No matter how great it is, it doesn't take you long to get tired of it. To say Tiësto has been making trance for a long time is an understatement. As an experienced noob who's only made, like, ten tracks over the span of just a year, I can already confirm it gets boring to create the same stuff over and over. Sooner or later, you're gonna want some variety. The fact that Tiësto stuck with trance for so long as amazing; it only took artists like Avicii about five years to break and get overly creative. I'd like to point out his song "WOW." First, he's clearly not selling out if he's still making stuff like this, because it's not radio-friendly whatsoever. Second, nobody paid attention. If you were presented with the option to get hundreds of thousands of dollars for one song or a couple thousand for another, it's pretty clear which you would choose. Yes, it sucks Tiësto isn't the same, but he's done so much already, it may be best to just let it go and embrace what he's making or has already made.
So you want to say that McDonald's cheeseburger in 2002 was different than today's one? The same thing with coca cola, do you like it because it's different every time? Eggs are the same each year, coffee doesn't change for ages. We love quite the same things during the lifetime. Yes, Tijs said he got tired of trance. We have not.
You have a point, but there's a difference between music and food. You may be fine eating the same cheeseburger every week, as this take not even ten minutes and there's plenty of space in between. Music takes hours upon hours per day, and, if you want to be as good as Tïesto, lots of passion and devotion. If you're going to be eating the same cheeseburger for hours every day, you're gonna get pretty tired of it. If it took as long to make trance as it took to listen to it, it'd be easier to blame him for selling out, but it's not as simple as it seems. Not trying to hate or anything, but this is how I perceive this situation.
I highly respect Tiësto, I know a lot of his fans doesn’t like when he moved towards EDM but to me, this is a challenge and I know he’s a type of guy who is not mediocre and a guy who is not afraid to face another challenge. Trance to EDM, a lot is different and if you still drives the emotion of the public, so be it. It’s him, just like music evolving.
patrick o donnell keep hating. He is set for life. With that cancer music. He is living his best life. You 2 are talking shit on the internet. Haha the sad life
Screw the haters. Everyone wants to make it big. He feels he hasnt done that yet or given EDM the exposure it needs. It is better to burn out than to fade away.
I got into EDM back in 2003 because of Tiesto, and I still like most of his music. What annoys me is the people saying "he sold out", or "the trance era was better", blah blah BLAH. Listen, music is like coffee, some people hate it, some people like it with cream, cream no sugar, etc. It's music and it's meant to lift your spirits and gets you to dance. WHO CARES IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. SOME PEOPLE DO! Get over yourself and listen to the old stuff or listen to stuff you like.
The Elements of Life Tour was something unforgettable. I will forever remember it as one of the most special things I've experienced. It was 2007... he played for five hours his set with an immense strucuture, and designed for his own concept and spectacle. Who else could have done that? Tiesto is something way better than he appears to everybody right now, and is way behind what he can do as a musician. I bet that in some years he will be already way too rich, then he will take a chill and start making music for him again, not for others with the functionality of appeal and profit.
Everybody commenting how they are no longer fans because of his progression. Stfu you were never a true fan then, you were a fan of a music genre. I am a fan of djs who have jumped around different genres & I’ve still supported them even if those genres weren’t my favorite. Why? Because I admire their ability to produce & how they are willing to take risks, I’m not the biggest Tiesto fan but I respect his craft. it sucks to see people talking down on him just because he’s chasing his bag & leaving his print in EDM culture.
loko lokko I see your point. This video explains why he’s so influential. I just think that he deserves more credit. His sets are actually amazing & enjoyable. I’ve heard a lot big name djs actually starting to use a lot of trance in their music, more specifically Psy trance & it sounds amazing & the crowds love it. You never know maybe Tiesto will produce more trance in the future.
Im not a fan of his music now. But theres no denying, he is both the greatest dj and greatest producer in EDM. No one mixes aswell as he does and also has made as many hits as he has in EDM.
Tiesto has had quite a successful long career. Whether it's your type of music, he has helped the industry very much. I can't stand the Beatles, but I respect their work and understand.
I went to Vegas suicidal after my break up to who i thought was the love of my life and I was blessed to watch him in hakassan now Im a business owner and lover of life. To you it might be shitty music but to me it saved my life
Love tiesto. I have a prayer candle with his face on it that I took to EDC 2016 cause it was my first time seeing him and he was my favorite DJ at the time
Tiesto is the greatest legend of Electronic Music. With all his trajectory is enough but then also all the supporting, discovering and who knows maybe even creating new artists. I had already heard the importance of Tiesto in Martin Garrix rise but then also Avicii man...is still sad just to write about him... he also had a great importance in Avicii's rise, and the point is that what Tiesto has done is unbelievable. True legend.
Igor Bukový he's a superstar because he's a legend, earns a lot of money and right now his single Jackie chan is one of the most listened songs worldwide.
Trance Tiesto = Best Tiesto 🔥
Ryan Heisler oath
Ryan Tiesto is Tiesto and thats it, no matter the era, there´s no best tiesto.

I will always be a fan of Tiesto no matter what, but did anyone here see him live during the "Adagio for Strings" era? I was too young, but i'm sure it must have been a freaking EPIC moment in dance music.
This Charming Man He actually just remixed/reworked Adagio For Strings. William Orbit made a trance track out of the original classical piece which is by Samuel Barber.

His "golden" era was to me a much better experience. But mainly because trance was designed to be epic and huge sounding.
I can't fault him for switching genre. But it just doesn't have as much impact as old trance did.
12 hour set? Damn. Speaking of "old" tiesto, i remember seeing tiesto in concert 2 (2004) on dvd as a kid. Ever since then i wanted to see him and luckily 2 years ago it finally happened. He rarely performs in the netherlands anymore just like yellow claw.
Yeah, went to both Tiësto in Concerts, I think I’ve seen him live over 25 times between 2001 and 2005.
Still have a shitload of livesets from that era...
I miss that Tiesto

this guy doesnt age! ive seen him 3 times - hes definitely a special DJ with lots of energy!
V. MUCHA three times as in shows? Nice
yes in NYC :D
Well, he has probably had a ton of plastic surgery and he's mega-rich, so he can afford all the best products to keep him looking good.
@@spartacusdoe5025 nope. He aged a lil
Actually he aged quite badly! Despite all the plastic surgery. Bland face, now looking creepy. 👻
I used to listen tiesto all the time I mean the previous tiesto, the tiesto from Trance era, the new tiesto leave me with no emotions !
hi :)
would some u of like a tissue? cause NO ONE FUCKING CARES he's still killing it idiots.
alan wisdom same bro trance tiesto was amazing adiego for stings
So he says: "then I try to slow it down and bring more emotional music in..." as Jackie Chan fades in. LMAO. I'm not hating on his newer stuff at all, it's entertaining but emotionless.
There's nothing like Trance music, long live to old Tiësto!!!!
Seems that Tiesto's decision to play mainstream EDM instead of just trance music actually paid off big time. So much, he even got a Grammy!
Grammys are for loosers only.
Might've helped.
But PvD has a grammy and he didn't have to go mainstream to earn one
shit id sell out to! lol
@@eagleadam5360 lol yeah right
But was it worth it? Maybe for him financially but imagine the tracks he could have made if he had kept on with his older style.
Tiesto was the first DJ I saw live at my first music festival (Electric Forest 2011) and lets just say, I will never forget that moment for the rest of my life. Incredible....
In search of sunrise 🌅 is still the greatest
In search of sunrise Los Angeles was epic
Yas
But the second one only had a few jems...like BTs Dreaming which I prefer Kalebs drum and bass mix personally...
In search of sunrise Asia
Nah. Nyana was the best
love tiesto since i was young. i definitely miss the old school trance but nothing makes me more happy than to see how far the man has come.

that's epic
What I really like about Tiësto is that he seems to genuinely be all about his craft and less about putting himself in the flashy center of attention.
Craft? 😂 he’s had ghost producers since the beginning. Smart and business savvy for sure.
He's fucking awesome. He's rolling with the changes and I see him always genuine

100% You right
spot on!

After so many millions of dollars, when is it enough?

1998-2008

Love come again.
"Hits like Wasted and Red Lights..."
That's a disgusting quote. Maybe Lethal Industry, Traffic or Flight 643 would be ok...
Those were actually good tracks back then!
Adagio for strings is the best trance song of all time imo
I’m sure he started music because it was his passion. As we grow we find new passions and that’s what happened here. Happy he is doing what makes him happy regardless of the previous image he is supposed to hold because fans can’t change with him.
I remember the first time I heard 'traffic' …. talk about a jolt of electricity going through me.. I was immediately hooked.
I love this guy, my father loves him... He just took an entire generation and made us love EDM
Got to see him twice in Cleveland. Watched his transition from Progressive House to Electro. Thank you for the beauty of your music.
Tiesto was never underground. 25 years ago he was selling hundreds of thousands of records.
Lol I'd check ur numbers or years.
@@ninthundertow still, tiesto never been an underground artist, like david getta, he produces garbage comercial music for the masses.
Not entirely true, he was a bit unknown in the 90's. He was at his best in the 00's, still rocking in 10's and still one of the biggest DJ's today.
Tiesto will always be the best DJ of all! Thru decades of djing he is nothing but phenomenal each and every time I see him play!!! I felt like I grew up with him thru the years!! Keep it up!! See you at the next event!!

It's not like there's ever been a drought in electronic music, atleast in my opinnion. My taste has evolved slightly too so it's natural if a DJ's does too. Just do your own things.
Thanks for bringing this up I seen it drop in Ibiza
When I was young this man opened up a world of music for me with trance Era music, I'm happy to see him do it his way. I'm just happy I lived in the Era of in search of sunrise era.
Anyone remember these..

I still like him for the time he gives to the music industry.
He did change but he's still in the music world we love and I guess where his fans want him to be.
He did lost some fans over the years but he gained some, too. From the new generation and surely from the upcoming batch of music lovers and artists alike.
I wish him the best.
BRASIL: The Genius, The Legend, The King TIËSTO 👑🔰🙌
I don't listen to any of his stuff from the past 15 years but I am forever grateful for Lethal Industry., A true trance classic. Glad he is still having fun at 50.
he looks so good to his age
Video is only of 2018 but feels like it is shot in 2003 or 2004
Hey boy
Hey girl
Superstar DJ
HERE WE GO!
Fucking love tiesto! I discovered him back in 2007 probably when I was just a 13 yr old that fell in love with EDM
1997-2004 Tiësto was my God...
This days? 💩
Yeah... not so much!…
1997-2008 😉
Like me buddy
I'm a 55 years young Las Vegas DJ.
My day will come.
not a fan anymore, miss the oldschool Trance Tiesto personally, not this jumped on the boring every song sounds the same train! Ohh well, we still have Armin :)
Exactly. Armin is killing it right now with his songs and sets. The Hi Ibiza 6h and Untold 7h sets are AMAZING!!. He currently plays almost every genre of the electronic music and it's incredible. Trance lovers do not like that he makes and plays others genres but only Trance all set but c'mon, he does it awesome.
Armin is great as he still keeps the trance banner going and giving talents a chance to shine with ASOT. But for me its Ferry Corsten who is really killing it by been going back to his old 90s melodies and hell he brought Gouryella back (obviously without Tiesto!) and has had some great tunes with that sound!
Armin with State of Trance is killing it
armin producing shit right now like BLAH BLAH BLAH
steve gee Armin is producing crap music now, blah blah blah for example.
Legend. Truly feels like a star when he is in the room. Superstar.
Tiesto is always making waves 🎉
Being playing his music since he was underground. Good to see he came up and brought EDC to the main Stage. Personally I am old school and I prefer his old music since it was definitely more trance and stayed more truthful to the music. His new music is still good but his initial music is classic in my ears. But good to see he’s remained as humble as always. Just hope he remembers his roots and gets into the trance state a bit more. He’s being pressured I’m sure by the labels he’s in. But money isn’t everything. Armin On the other hand has remain a lot more loyal and has retained more of his integrity musically.
Hopefully tiesto reads this. Bring back the SOUL to your music. Money comes and goes. Emotion, transcendence, and love. That’s is what’s makes music immortal..
I like his older music than his newer music.
Coolest DJ ever! So down to earth and humble
ALLURE FOR LIFE!!! Best DJ in the World!
Show Me The Way...
That's actually one of their worst tracks.
booooo gotta enjoy it as modern trance, it 100% sounds like tiesto
Imagine eating the same foods or watching the same movies for years. No matter how great it is, it doesn't take you long to get tired of it. To say Tiësto has been making trance for a long time is an understatement. As an experienced noob who's only made, like, ten tracks over the span of just a year, I can already confirm it gets boring to create the same stuff over and over. Sooner or later, you're gonna want some variety. The fact that Tiësto stuck with trance for so long as amazing; it only took artists like Avicii about five years to break and get overly creative.
I'd like to point out his song "WOW." First, he's clearly not selling out if he's still making stuff like this, because it's not radio-friendly whatsoever. Second, nobody paid attention. If you were presented with the option to get hundreds of thousands of dollars for one song or a couple thousand for another, it's pretty clear which you would choose. Yes, it sucks Tiësto isn't the same, but he's done so much already, it may be best to just let it go and embrace what he's making or has already made.
So you want to say that McDonald's cheeseburger in 2002 was different than today's one? The same thing with coca cola, do you like it because it's different every time? Eggs are the same each year, coffee doesn't change for ages. We love quite the same things during the lifetime. Yes, Tijs said he got tired of trance. We have not.
You have a point, but there's a difference between music and food. You may be fine eating the same cheeseburger every week, as this take not even ten minutes and there's plenty of space in between. Music takes hours upon hours per day, and, if you want to be as good as Tïesto, lots of passion and devotion. If you're going to be eating the same cheeseburger for hours every day, you're gonna get pretty tired of it. If it took as long to make trance as it took to listen to it, it'd be easier to blame him for selling out, but it's not as simple as it seems. Not trying to hate or anything, but this is how I perceive this situation.
Ferry corsten completely disagrees with you
Grew up on kaskade. But found Tiesto interesting as well
I highly respect Tiësto, I know a lot of his fans doesn’t like when he moved towards EDM but to me, this is a challenge and I know he’s a type of guy who is not mediocre and a guy who is not afraid to face another challenge. Trance to EDM, a lot is different and if you still drives the emotion of the public, so be it. It’s him, just like music evolving.
Tiësto is a legend 😊😍
*was
Alien Unicorn Kitty91 is he dead, or are you braindead?
@@z3ro7o lol typical immature response. I loved tiesto but now he's trash now.
He was a legend hes a sellout now plays musical cancer
patrick o donnell keep hating. He is set for life. With that cancer music. He is living his best life. You 2 are talking shit on the internet. Haha the sad life
Screw the haters. Everyone wants to make it big. He feels he hasnt done that yet or given EDM the exposure it needs. It is better to burn out than to fade away.
HE WAS THE BEST NOW IS MAHH MAN ARMIN THE KING OF TRANCE!!!!!!!
Armin also kind of sold out but I rather them talk about armin than tiesto
I got into EDM back in 2003 because of Tiesto, and I still like most of his music. What annoys me is the people saying "he sold out", or "the trance era was better", blah blah BLAH. Listen, music is like coffee, some people hate it, some people like it with cream, cream no sugar, etc. It's music and it's meant to lift your spirits and gets you to dance. WHO CARES IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT. SOME PEOPLE DO! Get over yourself and listen to the old stuff or listen to stuff you like.
Tiesto just wants to stay young and party forever. yall trippin over him not playing trance nowadays
Tiesto is a legend and king of edm ❤️🔥
Thijs je bent vooruit gegaan in de engelse taal, van harte gefeliciteerd👍
Haha!
I just don't understand how someone his age can still making bangers and keep touring like crazy. Usually these musicians turn into legacy acts
Did ABC News just broadcasted their first real news 🤔
I started listening to Tiësto cuz of X..back in 99.2000...and dam I'm old
Lol...they said one of the best song was red lights😂try Element of Life!
Saw Tiesto live for the first time and it was a cool experience the best dj ever
49?? Damn he looks good
Sylvia G he’s daddy
Hahahahahq
The Elements of Life Tour was something unforgettable. I will forever remember it as one of the most special things I've experienced. It was 2007... he played for five hours his set with an immense strucuture, and designed for his own concept and spectacle. Who else could have done that? Tiesto is something way better than he appears to everybody right now, and is way behind what he can do as a musician. I bet that in some years he will be already way too rich, then he will take a chill and start making music for him again, not for others with the functionality of appeal and profit.
This
Tiësto 🔥👨🏻🎤
Break my fall
It's Angela.

The Trance Legend!!! Not too into his stuff these days but good to see him doing well. Always got respect for tiesto❤️
My men Tea Yes Toe is just out here flexin' on damn haters with that daily lifestyle xD
Listened to tiesto when I was in elementary, and still listen to him today. Also that Avicii moment was everything! ❤️
Everybody commenting how they are no longer fans because of his progression. Stfu you were never a true fan then, you were a fan of a music genre. I am a fan of djs who have jumped around different genres & I’ve still supported them even if those genres weren’t my favorite. Why? Because I admire their ability to produce & how they are willing to take risks, I’m not the biggest Tiesto fan but I respect his craft. it sucks to see people talking down on him just because he’s chasing his bag & leaving his print in EDM culture.
IF YOU WINNING WHY CHANGE DUDE? OF COURSE HE WILL LOSE FANS CHANGE FOR THIS SHITT MUSIC, HE JUST SELL OUT DUDE THAT S WHY PPL ARE UPSET
loko lokko I see your point. This video explains why he’s so influential. I just think that he deserves more credit. His sets are actually amazing & enjoyable. I’ve heard a lot big name djs actually starting to use a lot of trance in their music, more specifically Psy trance & it sounds amazing & the crowds love it. You never know maybe Tiesto will produce more trance in the future.
you have bad taste and dumb logic
Still garbage
Nope, you're wrong. We all loved the man and his music. You can love a DJ that much that you actually care about them.
Im not a fan of his music now. But theres no denying, he is both the greatest dj and greatest producer in EDM. No one mixes aswell as he does and also has made as many hits as he has in EDM.
Tiesto is a mainstream DJ!! Not sure why he thinks he is underground. Just made me laugh....LOL!!
I know it's a laugh. LAS VEGAS nightclubs connected to a casino is UNDERGROUND! lol
He knows he's not... but he can at what ever the fuck he wants to these EDM kids who have no clue about electronic music history
He was underground. Not alot of people know about him. He didnt become mainstream until he start to collaborate with mainstream artists and now EDM.
Tiesto and Armin are basically the Messi and Ronaldo of trance music
Tiesto is a PIMP! Music Genius !
GARBAGE NOISE REAL CRAP MUSIC
Justin Merkes Vol. 1 Vegas was amazing
Tiesto has had quite a successful long career. Whether it's your type of music, he has helped the industry very much. I can't stand the Beatles, but I respect their work and understand.
Lmao, love how All of Me got him a Grammy. It's actually quite sad.
I went to Vegas suicidal after my break up to who i thought was the love of my life and I was blessed to watch him in hakassan now Im a business owner and lover of life. To you it might be shitty music but to me it saved my life
Tiesto talking about losing your identity...
Adagio for strings, Athena, and other tracks from his pre-2008 discography was pure gold.
His 49 !!😲
Love tiesto. I have a prayer candle with his face on it that I took to EDC 2016 cause it was my first time seeing him and he was my favorite DJ at the time
In search of sunrise. Thee best
i saw Tiesto live 3 years ago. been a fan since 1998. the best in the world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Hes also not a press play type dj
Magik Six: Live in Amsterdam thank me later
Also try magic 4,7.
Tiesto is the greatest legend of Electronic Music. With all his trajectory is enough but then also all the supporting, discovering and who knows maybe even creating new artists. I had already heard the importance of Tiesto in Martin Garrix rise but then also Avicii man...is still sad just to write about him... he also had a great importance in Avicii's rise, and the point is that what Tiesto has done is unbelievable. True legend.
Superstar? He is a fallen star! He was 1 of the best in the trance family! Since he has left the trance community i do not care about him anymore!
Igor Bukový he's a superstar because he's a legend, earns a lot of money and right now his single Jackie chan is one of the most listened songs worldwide.
Savage
I was 11 years old when he released Adagio - been a fan my whole life and will continue to be a fan. He's an amazing DJ!
using "wasted" and "red lights" as examples... wow...
Well those are his best ones, so......yeah.
Lived the old school era living the new school. Love them both.
