Amin seems to be such a nice guy. He has a big heart.
I think so too, in this moment we realise that life is nothing we need to be more humans
It’s weird! I know he’s great artist and have a lot of fans but on his Instagram there wasn’t so much comments and love towards him! But now it’s filled with love from everyone! Why do we wait for someone to die to appreciate him! Why don’t we show love and really appreciate someone when he’s still with us! God bless your beautiful soul Tim 😔💔
Well said. Like I got really annoyed when it became "cool" for these douchebag self-described "experts"--who have likely listened to EDM for a total of 3 months and pretend they're "genuine fans" because they heard of Addagio for Strings once--to start hating on Avicii for "Levels" just because it became so popular, and now those same f*ckwad "expert fans" claim they believe he's a legend and the best of all time or whatever. They're pieces of trash not worth anyone's attention, most of all the DJs they hate on.
"The Mozart of our time"
Still in disbelief and it will never be the same :(
Same man.:( I'm so sad. No one seems to get it.
Well spoken from the legend himself.
RIP Avicii.
Pavel Jakl So agree, what respectful and thoughtful words!
@Bruno Ford 👍
An amazing musician but a wonderful guy with a big heart
You are beautiful Armin, forget the criticism, no one is perfect. God bless Avicii. xxx
What a classy tribute he did for Tim, thank you Armin and RIP Tim❤
Truly he was the Mozart of our time, Armin said it like it is. RiP legend
Listen from 7:20 onwards; it's brave for Armin to say that the whole thing did seem strange with the location, the circumstance, etc. He has doubts, conspiracy theory level doubts, and he ain't alone.
Alex Joyce and then the interviewer cut him off
And a few months after he talked about a pedofile ring in the music industry. Ofi course there's something very wrong with his death.
RIP avicii, one of the greats 😉
RIP AVICII

Pistol Pete the single most important person in dance music of the last 10 years. He was single handily responsible for the Edm movement of the last 10 years without a doubt
the muslims got him
I was crying during listening Avicii's songs! Yeah, he was one of the greatests!
Still in shock too.... RIP Avicii
I'm so saddened to think this lovely soul was exploited when he needed proper time to recover and re-evaluate his life. This was such a lovely tribute to hear. What I love about Avicci is he could've easily become arrogant and conceited. Whenever I've heard him speak, he always comes across as incredibly genuine, warm and down to earth. What a terrible loss 💜
I watched the documentary too... It's so sad. We will always love you Tim ♥
Thank you for this. Thank you Armin for the tribute in Sydney
As always, Armin has so much class! I love Armin myself and truly enjoyed Avicii every time I heard him! This is truly devastating news. And as far as what Armin said about having a hard time dealing with the criticism, all I can say is that there are VERY MISERABLE people out there, those who criticize HAVE NO idea how to be real human beings like Armin, Avicci or any of these professional, wonderful DJ’s we get to really ENJOY these days. If you put ONE of the critics to do what Armin does or any of them do, I BET YOU A TRILLION DOLLARS they would have NO IDEA, ZERO IDEA what to do in front of all that equipment they have to use. Those who criticize are so short of mind, they are so poor of heart and have had nothing but a very miserable life themselves! I hope that if there are DJ’s OR ANY OTHER PROFESSIONALS that have to deal with “hater’s’” criticism, that they read this, put all those negative words aside and ignore them!!!! Once you ignore, you feel great and they lose because that’s what they are, BIG HUGE LOSERS who have absolutely nothing from anyone. To ALL these wonderful DJ’s we have these days: You guys are awesome, you guys are great, you guys are PERFECTLY PERFECT and you guys bring happiness to our lives! That’s what counts in life: ALL THE HAPPINESS AND LOVE you bring to me and the world!
Are you kidding? Did you even hear the interview?? He pretty much trashed avicii and talked shit over his name. I felt like it was totally disrespectful how he conducted himself
Peter Guerrero I did hear the whole interview. There was no disrespect at all. Everything he said was totally appropriate.
The way he chooses his language to carefully make himself sound more important. He always says "he was really great" "he was a legend" he never says how he was more advanced than the rest, how he was a genius, how he was a modern day composer of EDM. He spent a good amount of time SPECULATING about someone he even admits he PRETTY MUCH DIDN'T KNOW PERSONALLY. But then later tries to makes them sound like friends, like he ISNT doing anything more than speculating about a dead man's life. He didnt know shit about Avicii and personally it's insulting to emphasize how "insecure he was with his laptop out right before a show" when in reality he was using every last second to make his show as great as possible. While Armin is sipping champagne (and shaming Avicii for drinking before a set) AVICII WAS STILL WORKING. He should show some fucking respect instead of looking for one more opportunity to emphasize how great Armin is. Imho he even subtly was calling himself better, with his comparisons. Armin seriously looked insecure as fuck in this interview, someone who is secure in their career will give all glory to Avicii WHEN THEY ARE INTERVIEWING YOU ABOUT HIM, NOT YOURSELF!!
Glenda Lisko what a dick ed armin did you miss the part where he was downgrading him saying why is avicii so insecure and about him drinking before stage what a complete ass the guy is 6:50 re watch thank you
I didn't listen to Avicii that much, but I enjoyed his music. Such a talented artist and a good person
I remember discovering him in 2011. In high school, we were so in love with this guy's music! To us, he easily surpassed most of the people making House music at the time. I even remember voting for him for #1 in DJMaG multiple times.
So so sad that he passed, especially so damn young, he's only a few years older than me. RIP piano man
About the last minute thing: They even called it Tim time. He was almost always late, probably because he wanted it to be perfect. He was also a workaholic.
And yes he drank to get more confidence. He was an introvert and felt stiff if he didn't drank.
D mb
I really love this call and the thoughtful way Armin is talking about Tim
RIP AVICIIIII TOTALLY SHOCKED 😳 FROM KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA ONE OF MY FAVORITE DJ
Aviciiiiii. 😭😭😭🖤🖤🖤 I love him and Armin so much! Avicii will live on forever. 🖤
The emotions, the heart, the fullness bring us together, may we live today to the fullest truly.
Im still sad...over his passing.im missing him alrdy.keep repeating all his tracks.
My deepest condolences to everyone's lost
That Instagram comment didn't exactly mean what the interviewer thought it did, btw
It was a picture of a cloudy day and the caption was "It's always sunny here in California".
I live here in LA. It's cloudy a lot here in the mornings
Thanks for posting and appreciate Armin's genuinely well-intentioned comments
Respect to Armin, very well said and professional, even during this time of sadness.
Very deep and interesting comments from Amin.. it makes me think so many things :(
Rest In Peace Avicii, Respect From Nepal
Rest in peace Avicii, and thanks to Armin for being such a respective and calm guy
Personally I taken as an Omen, his music, to heart he will be missed greatly
LEGENDS NEVER DIE! #RIP #AVICII
YES!!
RIP ur a legend man so sad 😔 xx
Lets get something out there first. Avicii was more talented than any other DJ I have ever heard. If your style of house becomes the defacto standard, that's no accident. He couldve just kept pumping out repetitive hits but in the midst of his success he completely changed his style more than once. That is very risky and takes guts. i would say you need some serious artistic curiosity to do something like that. He had the kind of ear for music most don't and his style, production and the company he kept reflected that. He clearly had no relationship with Armin. Armin is all business and business only.
Now about the drinking and his death. I cant think one talent but sensible artist lived in our life time. Art is always emotionally driven which means the people who excel at it at are emotional to the core. The fact that kept changing his tacks till last seconds could very easily be attributed to the fact that to Avicii most important this was authenticity and being orignal. SO if anyone already played the same track he was going to, I'd imagine he would change the track. For the sake of the argument, even if was insecure about his track selection, insecure Avicii is 10 times better than confident Aoki or Armin or Tiesto, Laidback luke. His drinking habits can be caused by a multitude of reasons. Maybe he expected more from himself and has fallen below his expectations, that alone can cause heavy drinking. It may run in the family who the F**k knows.
lastly, Avicii defined the genre and he was the most popular artist in EDM. I am completely out of EDM scene for a while now but i still download his podcast from time to time. Now listening to all those very tracks that made me so happy over the years makes me unconditionally SAD. RIP AVICII. EDM GOAT.
I agree with your sentiments about Avicii being a talented DJ. There is no question about that however, whether he is the best in the world is subjective to anyone listening to his music. Irrespective of what you think about Armin or other DJ's (unless you know Avicii on a personal level and not just through his music), then I think it is a little bias to make judgements on their friendship when you clearly don't know either artist. Armin may have kept things on a business level with Avicii, but that doesn't mean he has no respect for the man. He obviously must have some respect for Avicii otherwise he wouldn't be calling to express his condolences to Avicii's family. Armin even said that the last time they saw each other, Avicii had his management team surrounding him and Avicii had even changed his number so Armin could not contact him anymore (which he mentions this during the phone interview). Obviously Armin had no issues with Avicii.
The drinking because of anxiety he suffered anxiety ...
While everything you say about Avicii is true, I am not sure you know Armin that well, I suggest you watch his sets from the Untold Festival 2017, 18 when he went straight to the audience after a 5 and a half hour set and had the hugest hug ever recorded and see that Armin is not only about business in the least :)
Bro he wasn’t a DJ he was a producer and engineer. Such disrespect to call him a DJ
@@freddiejones4598 he started out as a producer and then technically became a DJ as well. As far as the top 50 DJs go, all of them are producers, your grandma can sync and smash two tracks together be sure of the equipment nowdays. When we talk about any international dj, we are always talking about the producer, the art of DJing is dead because if technology.
I’m still in disbelief Tim is gone. So young. I just don’t understand how someone so young, talented & loved could leave this earth with no one intervening to the point he becomes so ill. It’s true.. it’s lonely when you are on top of the world. As usual everyone loves you when you’re gone. I’ll see you soon. RIP Tim.
Unbelievable ! R. I.P. kid!
Sad Sad Sad Times RIP Avicii you will be missed here but loved where you are ...........
Wise words from one Legend to another 💔
(Host;) You're all perfectionists (Co host;) "Some more than others" *Chuckles*... funny moment. Armin spoke with respect and kept it real that he didn't know or hang with Avicii but knew enough about him.
I wondered to what happened and hoped it wasn't what I was thinking. I read the headline a little awhile ago it was bad enough I didn't read the article. I feel the horrible pain of Avicii 's lost. I will continue to listen to his music in memory of him.
fuck man just FUck, rip tim, thank you for all the beautiful memories
I just imagine seeing Armin's face when he got the saddest possible news. He must've been mindblown and left with so many questions... and I've said it at the same time he said it.
Very well said, Love you avicii ❤
Armin van Buuren is a pure sport and a totally genuine person. I guess we all people.. no matter fame or not are kinda the same. You know... we feel insecure.. blame... not sure... money or fame dont change that feeling.. were just humans !! Thanks you all for understanding and get to know the fame side in this 😀❤️
I^ve always liked Armin Van Buuren, and now, after listening to his talks, I like him even more, and he^s just proven, again, what a nice person he is...
He talked nicely of Tim...
So true that we (and I^m in the minor list...LOL) are perfectionists. I don^t like to talk before a DJ set, either, cos I^m concentrating on a mental playlist... (;o)*
Rest in Paradise, Avicii...
Melody Fox (aka the Princess of Rock)
LPM
Sirius XM, thanks for the interview and upload...
Did you miss the part 6:50 talking of Tim as inferior ... his insecurities and alcohol
Two Legends. Rest in Paradise Tim.
Yes, one of the greatest!
Everyone can't believe this, avicii and his music was such energetic.
💔😞
Long live Armin Van Buuren and RIP Avicii, two importants producers of the world.
I was shocked too when I read this in the news and because I'm involved now with the trance family and a young man anyway just a difficult time that time will heal
Music gives a soul to the universe and Avicii's music was a universe for itself.
R.I.P.
Am I the only who hears someone crying in the background? 💔 ABSOLUTELY HEARTBREAKING
Thanks for keeping it real Armin
nice words from Armin... RIP Avicii :(
I agree with him but it really just doesn’t make sense even with regards to the drinking and damage done plus the location just weird man.. RIP Tim.
We'll miss you Tim.
I have been listening to BPM for maybe 15 yrs. I am well over 50 yrs old...have seen several of the DJS..Tiesto/Armin...few more in Atlanta and Nashville. I was impressed with the teens at these functions..well dressed, well mannered...always wanted to let the other parents know...techno is my choice, even at my age and this news of Avicii's death has really been a sad experience. I have spent countless $'s dl all this music...and 1 thing on my bucket list was to see Avicii!. I vacation each yr in Vegas and have always wanted to visit the techno venues....lol I would def be in the 5% category of "WOW at your age you like techno?"....Yes I do....love the beat, love the DJS..a very talented genre.....SOOOOOO sad for this news. Love all of ya..........KEEP SPINNING....RIP AVICII.....excellent music, and TYTY BPM!!!!!!!!!
idolo :(
Biggest lost for us & for edm 😓😓😢😢
Vila i frid Tim!
We don't know the facts was the most factual line of these Sirius XM videos.
Also, this talk about Oman... its a perfectly normal vacation spot thats visited by Europeans for its beaches and the tranquil settings.
Very silly/reckless/dangerous to make judgements and infer based on his location or last instagram post etc.
Respect the wishes of the family, remember him for his music and how that impacted your life. Rest in peace Tim
The police of Oman, has also confirmed that the death isn't crime related - so nothing to worry about there
Flav I agree today it was confirmed he commited suicide :( the place is not strange and has nothing to do with it.
Flav right! Did you see the documentary? Then you know why Armin is saying this. I have the same questions. I think we in the Netherlands have seen another docu than the rest of the world it seems.
Avicii in late 2015 suffered mild criticism from fans who thought his new sound was dull. I don't think it is but that could be one of the reasons he retired from touring. And here you can hear Armin talking about his own critics and how hard it was to deal for him.
With Avicii's situation in that time going in and out of hospitals and suffering from depression, that could take a toll not just for a music produce but for a person in general. You can only take too much before breaking down.
Me, someone who has also battled with depression in the past, took criticism very hard. Even if the words wasn't there I feel like the stare of the people around me was condemning in itself. You feel secluded. Isolated.
For me friends was a big help but the total relief from agony was within me, finding what I really want and focusing my heart on it.
If only he had more time for himself, if only he wasn't so busy. Finding out his deepest desires and dedicating his time to meditate and having solidarity, maybe, just maybe, we'd be waiting for another masterpiece from the musical genius.
Still in shock
RIP
None of these DJs Sirius is interviewing were really friends of his. Seems like no one in the industry was close to him. That in itself is very sad.
him and Tiesto were really close tho. Its kinda hard to get close when u all tour at different places all the time.
TheRzarectah most artists are so busy and never have time to spend together
Plenty of DJs in the industry were friends of his. But I'm not sure how you think this all works....these are traveling and touring DJs. It's not like it's one giant friend group where everyone is best friends and hangs out all the time. DJing and music is the business. It's nice to meet friendly people and other DJs who have a similar passion, but you still have your personal life where your best and most important friends are. I think there's this weird fantasy people have where they see pictures of DJs hanging out on social media and they think that it's like a bunch of best friends hanging out all the time....
If that's really what you interpreted, then I feel sorry for your lack of comprehension skills....the point is that it is literally very hard for these DJs to form meaningful and deep relationships. The best and most important friends of the DJs aren't other DJs.....they have more important lives outside of work just like everyone else.
PONYBOYonline Exactly, they're traveling all the time and barely get to see each other, and their main connection is their work. And that doesn't compare to your best friends who were always there for you before you became a big star.
Armin once said, "Don't be a prisoner of your own style".
Avicii took it on a whole new spiritual level.
Devastated :-(
Avicii pick that location. He was ready to go. No one can judge this act. People who take their own life, most probably are in so much pain to say the least. I hope he is is in a better place!
The family is implying he committed suicide, but other sources have said the autopsy and the police confirmed "no foul play".. I don't know, something isn't adding up.
he lived a good life
armin is a freemanson... hidden hand
#aviciiforever
What's the name of the documentary Armin is mentioning?
sc d Avicii: true stories I think
The documentary he was mentioning was Avicii: True Stories :)
Thanks, found that out eventually but couldn't find it anywhere. Wonder why it's not on Netflix anymore:(
the derka derkas got him!
How can this be a shock logically. where is the common sense. Some one that sick should be extremely vigilant and watched constantly by health practitioners. I am surprised nurses did not travel with him. You guys all around him are guilty to some extent!
Apparently Armin is also a better speaker than tiesto. Tiesto couldnt put two words together to form a fluid sentence.
They say there is no criminal suspicion in Tim's death but it can well be a planned homicide like he went on a perfect getaway and it gone completely wrong.
Someone could also have murdered him and took the broken glass and people confuse and think its a suicide. It can be a big misconception about his true death that nobody will ever know.
Armin seems nice and down to earth,what did Avicii die from?this is a shock and a wake up call
0:39 team
Rip avicii
Avicii had his first breakthrough in ASOT and went from there to go on becoming mainstream. Most artists who go mainstream doesn't show up as often as they used to on ASOT and I think this is because Armin wants new talents to get a chance to "shine"/ "breakthrough" but also because when you go mainstream you are maybe focusing on making music to bring in as much money as possible? Not sure since I never been big at all with my music but creating unique music that is years ahead of the time when it was produced is very risky since 50% of the human population is on the "normal" spectrum of intelligence while 25% is above and 25% is below, so making a masterpiece is many times something that is recognised several years after its debut and this is not only a thing in music, obviously. I know a lot of older movies getting an insane amount of recognition they didn't get when they were released because people today maybe understand them better?
Anyway, I'm rambling lol.
On to Avicii, I think the reason he might have killed himself is because of the people pressuring him to stop drinking, maybe he did drugs as well I don't know but as an addict myself I know for a fact when people "complain" about your abuse of any substance and you use that substance your mind will go back and forth between the taught of those who all the time are nagging you about your addiction and the use of the substance in itself as well. So maybe, just maybe he felt he let everyone down by taking up the bottle again and couldn't live with it. The withdrawal from any long term use of any substance can make people do things they would never ever do otherwise, no matter how depressed so it wouldnt surprise me at all if this had something to do with his decision to kill himself. So in short, the ones who wanted to help him might been the ones who actually made him kill himself.
He suffered anxiety mental health issues depression he couldn’t go on any longer the end
5:35....there may be people remembering all the "trance comunity" hitting him in the head back in 2010 that he changed his style bla bla....I, for one, am very sure that this was a reason too...
Fans need to know his last moments! What was the real cause of his death so sudden! His heart? We know about his illness but the final cause of his death? A photo doesn’t say better as it is photoshop pic can change a lot! And who was with him during his last days? A lot his fans need to know about it! Pretty strange place to be at the end of his life at the same time
weird comment but the thumbnail..thats his thumb just sayin... 😳! r.i.p A
zuri boo wtf haha
Sam Eames his thumb look big as fuck lol just sayin
call to garrix guys
yeah he's so young he's truly shocked also Afrojack too
Deadmau5, hardwell also 😭
Garrix is trash. Avicii wasnt. Armin was shocked too btw.
Don diablo. Tiesto.
N1Z3L shut up if you don't like garrix music cause he don't care about haters ;)
It s a horrible day for dance music...
watch documentary why we DJ
Come on Armin. How many of his lot and lots of great tracks that you mention have you played other than thr remix he did for your drowning anthem? No one of this guys played Tim's banger. You know why? Because on lots of interviews he complained about all EDM sounding them the same.
Treffende woorden .....
The hidden Hand is afreemason sign
"This is probably the saddest day that dance music has ever had" ....what about the passing of Robert Miles? Interesting Armin would say that.
Simply Magical Avicii was huge and a big part of modern EDM so it effects a lot more people
Tris k exactly
You must be too young to remember how massive of an influence Robert Miles was back in the mid-90s. He pretty much invented the melodic uplifting Trance sound, and inspired countless DJs, producers and composers all around the world. Sure Avicii was huge part of modern EDM, but he didn't have as many hits as Robert Miles did. It's sad Avicii passed away, but saying it's saddest day dance music ever had is a bit of a stretch. Hell, Armin van Buuren has had much bigger influence than Avicii! It's ironic really.
Simply Magical Not really, Avicii has affected more than just EDM, he’s literally changed music as a whole and changed people’s perspectives on what Dance (and all music in general) was or could be, sure Miles had a huge affect on people at the time in Dance music but Avicii has truly spanned across all genres, I’ve been on many videos the past day and many weren’t related to Avicii or even music at all yet you see comments and people talking about this everywhere, he was an Icon to all of all
Not everyone applies nostalgic and progressive trance to "dance music". So, I think Armin was clever speaking like he did.
Very sad..he was SO talented. I don't believe for a second he killed himself..no way in hell. Way too much to live for and way too much still to do.. this whole thing doesn't feel right to me, just does not add up..
Why the documentary is not on Netflix Canada? We want to know what really happened to AVICII?
Yes really well protected but not being happy with it!
Wonder why 800 hundreds shows when he was so sick!
Shame on them!
MistieBlue right!! And that is to see in the docu. His management did not listen to him they said to him do you know how much money you will miss? Tim was set up and said now I get stress again puts his head down and gets anxiety attack. And so on would not cancel a concert doctors gave him 10 pills etc...
Lin da Full agree! I do not trust the people around him who were suppose to take care of him. They were attracted by his money only or by the slavery that they created around him to push him on & on with no rest! Shame on them all!
MistieBlue Yeah its just a shame noone stood up for him. He must have felt very lonely and being in pain while he loved the music so much. So sad for his family.
Lin da Hi! You ‘re absolutely right! Money was their first goal not him! Agree with you also abt his family; what a real sadness. That is a case to bring on Court.And when I listen the video here it seems really weird to be there at that place specially like someone know as he won’t make it.
Sure there is something as no one want to talk actually abt the people around him.
That is what we call to be under abusive order
Just saying👀
MistieBlue right! We need answers, many questions. Also about the docu, the time of the docu (1,5 Months ago on Netflix) and the motive of the docu. Why did this happen after it was released. His album coming up with Universal Music Sweden, he was positive they said the last days. I have my thoughts. Poor Tim.
Why does that line disturb me :/
usually lines arent squiggling around
May be you have ocd
armin van shovelhands
Armin, please take a bit of time out and spend it with your kids. I know you're not an addict with health issues, but how often do you see your family? Was it really necessary to go off to F1 China? Take this chance to reevaluate. I'm sure your kids want to know you not just see the guy on youtube who always has his hands up.
His phone exploded ehh? Was it a Note 7 by any chance?
I have no clue with the story...if DJ. is the one who create the new version of the feeling from the original song ...and of course he took some songs from some artists (singers) and make it in his way ,lucky him...because he seems to be talent in the bad way..that why the world said ...people love to be bad ...because you told them to be....for blocking the kids to be good boys and happy kids in the world ...too bad that some kids super stupid can not see the trick that taking away the lost time of very value at that moment of their life,but sinking down in the dark memory that the whole world love and see those boys in hell, love judging those kids...I don't know that ...the other side you reserve those space for who.?in those happy space area ....is cost so much money some boys have to die 2-3 life time...still can not get in there.. I curious if the boys who will follow me to be in this black hole ....they are followed me because they see ??? What good ...to be inside here ?...
jo-jo volkswagen What the fuck did I just read
Hidden hand, atleast we know who he works for.. unlike avicii who actually tried to debunk some shit
Well you may throw your rock and HIDE YOUR HAND
Workin' in the dark against your fellow man
But as sure as God made black and white
What's down in the dark will be brought to the light
nothing is as it seems...
