Not so much now, but Tiesto in his prime was huge. Legit household name, how many trance producers or electronic producers are asked to make anthems for the olympics etc. But he really comes across as a wank these days, lost alot of respect and love for selling out. He's large and he knows it I guess. Elaborate on what we don't understand? People saying Tiesto's music is piss compared to Daft Punk. There's a reason why he has been, and still is, in the top 5 ranked DJ's in the world. The music scene in Europe etc is far beyond what people know about in Australia. Daft Punk make good tracks, no doubt; classics that will stand the test of time. But there are so many band-wagoners it's insane. Get Lucky is a terrible, repetitive track imo. The hook is mental, but that's probably because it's looped 500 times in the track. Don't get me wrong, I have the Homework album on wax and I've been a Daft Punk fan from way back, but I don't think you can even compare Tiesto and Daft Punk. They're totally different and from completely different musical worlds. To sum up what I got from Tiesto was really that he wasn't out to take a stab at them on purpose, only pointing out that whatever they bring out people will eat up. This is because they're large and have carved their place in music history forever. How can you argue that? The fact that he said "I'm killing them right now" is a direct stab at them?
