The Supersonic Rise of Avicii
Ойын-сауық
In 2010, a 20-year-old Swedish DJ called Avicii couldn't even get a $400 gig. The next summer he was paid $250,000 to headline Ultra Music Festival.

the quality of this reminds me of those history channel ancient aliens style shows, mindless filler slop. how far vice has fallen.

I thought the same thing. Just repeating the same thing over and over.
Why does it feel like all of vice's videos are cut down from long-form works, are super disjointed, and never give any kind of real information?

dude said “computerized music” lol
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

Sounds absolutely exhausting. Once the high wears off from the first few big shows, it sounds like a stressful job tbh.
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.

Oh wow a 5 minute video that is bits and pieces of a longer video is missing context ? Shocking

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.

That's Logic. But that's just some stock footage. He was using Fruity loops. There's a few tutorials on youtube that he made.

He is Pablo Picasso in Music ❤🎶
He was truly 1 of 1. 😢
grind till you die. we all do it. but, Avicii was killed by his greedy execs.
Who is doing naration¿
RIP Tim
I don't understand why he had to travel everyday. Like why couldn't they have scheduled shows more spread out to allow him to rest?
Rest in peace ❤️
RIP AVICII ❤
You guys are tripping man
He got to his peak too fast 😢
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
black mirror rachel, jack and Ashley too
Ngl this was not deep enough for a vice and honestly missed so much. Very surface and you should read his book if you want the honest truth
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.
RIP Avicii
His music was for disney edm people lmfaoo
who are these people
Yo
Tiesto did it 😂😂😂😮
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.
Why are y’all surprised it’s vice they bankrupt
This was uninteresting

Not even close. Towards the end of his career he really struggled with Alcohol and painkillers but all these clips were from about 2014 and before.

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.
Mediocre music that all sounds the same even now. Now wonder he wanted a way out
