How Happy Would You Be? (Trance at Coachella)

[PassiveTheory]

How pleased would you be if you NEVER again had to hear Trance at Coachella ever again? The likes of Tiesto, Armin Van Burren, Paul Van Dyk and their ilk barred from performing at Coachella ever again.

How would this make you feel?

Answer on a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 being "Hey, I actually like Tiesto, and also enjoy gnawing on my own genitalia, coincidentally while listening to his music in an idiotic stupor", 3 being "...I guess I don't really care?", and 5 being "Hey, I'm a perfectly rational human being and realize the benefits that would result if that garbage music never appeared at Coachella ever again, as in more slots being open to electronic acts with actual TALENT" and the other numbers being intermediary numbers.

I can't vote five, I have to give the benefit of the doubt to the one good trance artist who lives in a cave somewhere

[zenidogx]

Passive, this poll makes you a bigger douche than Tiesto.

[boarderwoozel3]

Depends, I dig PvD's faster, harder stuff but on the whole I'm not a huge trance fan. House is where its at.

Naw man, this guy is by far the bigger douche:



(and probably loves Tiesto, and T-Pain)

[karecares]

as much as i don't want or care to see any trance it does the decrease my conflicts for the night. i voted 4 but now that i think about i'm all for it

i'd rather see paul van dyk again than some of your requests -junkie xl, armand van helden, the toxic avenger, the bloody beetroots, and shit like that-

[PassiveTheory]

AVH would DESTROY that German fuck face in a contest. I mean, it's one thing to be a shitty Trance DJ, but it's another thing to try and run from the fact like PVD has tried (and failed) to do.

This is what i like to call "bias"

[microcuts]

Jesus Christ, no one's forcing you to listen to music you don't like. This thread is absurd.

[PassiveTheory]

Tiesto forced people to hear his music* in 2007 unless you were in the Sahara. I feel sad for the people who were just trying to listen to The Good, The Bad and the Queen.


*Edit: by music, in this case, what I meant was "regurgitated garbage"

[orbit]

i don't get it. passive bashes trance but requests the same electro bullshit. passive says pvd doesn't have dj skills but request that joke of a dj junkie xl.

[cansei de ser sexme]

Damnit i meant to vote 1 to piss off passive

[PassiveTheory]

Omar, I read what you said about Junkie not mixing anything, but conversely I've read what pilgrim had to say about seeing him mix live on the Coachella train, and he was standing right behind the dude.

Also, as far as the other DJs I've requested, the Bloody Beetroots and Toxic Avenger, much less AVH and Junkie, can run rings around PVD, Tiesto and their kind.

[paulb]

id rather not see it at Coachella, and keep the Sahara mostly electronic...

[Neutral Milk Hotel]

Damnit i meant to vote 1 to piss off passive

hahahahaha

[Boourns]

How about trance DJ's only when someone unmissable is playing on the main stage, like Bowie or Radiohead or Gorillaz or Pulp or 2 girls 1 cup.

[BROKENDOLL]

I started thinking about the "gnawing on my own genitals" part and totally forgot what the question was!

[HEADSTRUCK]

any form of trance sucks balls. It is the gateway to good EDM, people listen to it until they find good edm.

[Cheddar's Cousin]

This poll should go to 6.

[MassiveChemicalPunk]

Passive, I'm with you on this one. Trance sucks balls.

The only thing that sucks more balls than trance is Enter Shikari.

[slurpee]

Best thread in a while. I was so disappointed when Tiesto had the main stage at Coacehlla. It was such a waste.

I fully support you PassiveTheory!

[SFChrissy]

I didn't hear one bit of tiesto...and I have no idea where I was on the polo grounds but I know for sure I hadn't left yet...

i've seen tiesto mixing live in a private party a few years ago. he played only house. does that prove something to you? i bet not. i've seen junkie xl enough times to know he is a joke of dj. i don't know if pilgrim saw him mixing or just beatmatching and playing with channels.

i'm sure there are many djs who could run rings around pvd. it'd be nice if those djs would come with something new and not with the same thing we got the last 2 years.

hahaha

well there's your problem

and orbit is right it was fun but let's hear something new

[humanoid]

I don't like trance at all, but I am not opposed to a little of it being there...variety is part of what makes Coachella fun

I won't be watching it, but hopefully it will keep some people mesmerized while I'm off watching something better

PS, I think these silly DJ skills arguments are terribly silly...if it sounds cool and makes you move whats the difference?

It's like saying Yngwie Malmsteen or Joe Satriani would be better to see than any number of great bands simply because they are more technically proficient

[Cheddar's Cousin]

I believe you meant to say Yngwie Fucking Malmsteen.

[amyzzz]

Trance sounds ok when you're on drugs, so I wouldn't mind randomly hearing it at the Sahara tent, but I probably wouldn't stay long, so 4.
