I'd rather go to this then Crasher the night after with Hardwick,Schulz, Above & Beyond and Armin then have change from the price of a ticket to Hi:Fi
lol im shocked at the pair of you actually wanting to go see armin, after the way you both go on sometimes
I think John summed it up like: "Ill have to grab Armins headphones and hear the tunes through there to hear some bass" Im not too big an Armin fan, though wouldnt mind going as you know it will be mint. Schulz, Hardwick & Above and Beyond will all rinse it, and the fact its Crasher and not classics means youre onto a winner
PVD's been playing everywhere recently, you see his name far more than tiesto's at the minute. I really have to cach him sometime this year havnt seen him since dance valley
He's boring as fuck most of the time, I've saw him play some shite sets (Gods, Crasher NEC 2003 for example) but also seen him play blinders at Global in 2004 another example. It all depends on his set time and how whoevers on before him but it wouldnt be van Boring im wanting to see. I havent seen Schulz and we all know what Hardwick can do
Yeah i remember at the NEC, pvd played a blinder, then tiesto brought it down somewhat, then armin just killed any atmosphere that was left lol But i seen armin play a blinder at nation on my 18th
I didnt think i could ever be bored of trance by 2:30-3am in a club untill Armins 9 hour set at Gods last year He'd been on for about 5 hours and the music was jsut on the same level, hadnt went anywhere at all
I thought Armin would be perfect for a 9 hour set because he plays loads of prog trance on ASOT and then can bang it out when need be so thought it would be great but half an hour after opening he was playing trance and it wet nowhere. I doubt i'd have been bored if he'd varied it abit and played proggy then trancy then banged it out, he can also play quite techy at times aswell.
yeah, i always find i prefer to listen to the sort of stuff armin plays in the house rather than in a club, havn't seen him play in ages though, it will have been over 2 years actually.
He was really good at Gods in November at the arena but he didnt really mess about and try build his set, i think thats the only time im seem to like it other wise he bores me. I doubt ill see him ever play a better set than Global in 04 tho
haha shit i seen that actually, i spoiled it for myself by going to promise the night before and raving it to the judge, i couldn't stay awake at global
I wasnt that bad, i sorted myself out by the time Armin and van Dyk were on then had no energy went and sat down neary the Polysexual tent with Purvy and Mik and Slash and that and sat laughing at the munchkins dressed as christmas trees.
i spent the last half of the festival sitting on the grass near the gurn bus, hardly worth the cash i spent to get there
