Tim was an AMAZING producer, an ASTOUNDING musician, and a true intellectual nomad. I am honored to have vivid memories of meeting him in the consessions line, and then later backstage at Ultra Miami 2013. One day, you'll leave this world behind, so Live a Life you will remember. RIP Avicii, the Father of House. September 8th, 1989- April 20th, 2018.
Fortunate enough to meet this guy in person when we were in University and we got this guy to show up for quite modest fee compared to what we've paid other acts who would go on to then ultimately become nothing right
You must be new to Vice. That’s okay. Vice will make longer elaborate videos that are like an hour long without “missing context”, then after awhile they take the video down and drop these shorter 5-10 minute videos that try to summarize the longer videos. They leave you wanting more, but it’s almost impossible to find the full videos. Vice is weird like that. It’s really the equivalent of intentionally tripping yourself.
David Guetta laid the groundwork for the crossover of EDM to mainstream.... you need to check your history before making statements like this documentary has. Context is so off... Avicii is a Legend.
I see Avicii's life as best represented by the myth of Icarus. Tim had the ability to soar -- daring to touch the hand of God. But the problem, of course, is that the Sun can and will burn your wings off. Being that high off the ground, though, is intoxicating. And it makes regular life seem forever mundane in comparison.
couldnt he just have retired? i bet he´d still be alive today, and making loads of $$$$. He´s dead & got 38 million listeners on SPOTIFY every month. Dude making bread even not here any more.
I literally never see people like the people talking in this in real life. Like if they where the ones surrounding Tim burg, no wonder he wanted to escape
This video is poor quality vice. These so called "Experts" can't grasp who Avicii was and how impactful he has been on modern music. Avicii will be compared alongside Mozart, Vivaldi as some of the most influental composers in history. He needed an agent that it stead of pressuring him, should have pulled the brake on his touring and traveling. Someone should have taken the decision away from him. And convinced him to take a long break.
If you ever have the time (or care), check out his documentary “True Stories”. It shows a better angle of how the peak of his career was also at the start of the opioid epidemic when doctors were prescribing painkillers like candy, and he simply fell victim to that as he was touring and in poor health, which landed him in and out of the hospital as he toured endlessly.
