If he sees someone else getting more attention than him, he gets very jealous. Unlike Armin, who is a very genuine and content person. (from what I've seen in interviews)

If you ever get to read the biography of Armin van Buren, you will see both of these items confirmed.

I'm not looking for a role model. I'm looking for quality tunes. As we have shown on this forum time and time again, DJs in general are an obnoxious bunch of opinionated, hard headed, narrow minded, look at me, loudmouth, internet tough guys.

+1000, QFT!

I think you'd find Crosstown Rebels/Infinity Ink would've given them permission for that... In exchange for a giant bag of cash and royalties. Hardly new, hardly Flo Rida or Pitbulls fault (I feel dirty sticking up for them, but they haven't exactly stole it)

are you referring to a specific biography? Or just any biography on him?

I think Tiesto and other superstar DJs get a lot more of the casual music lovers/listeners. His attempting to play "deep house" will bring about a lot more casual "fans" to the genre/sub-genre, causing more "sellouts" to make what they consider to be "deep house." Essentially, this has the potential to cheapen or dilute what deep house is really all about. Of course, it could do the opposite, but that seems highly unlikely given superstar DJs catering to what I'd refer to as "top 40" dance music.

I used far too many quotation marks.
