I don't even know what the first album is. I guess you're talking about UTTAD, which is still one of my favorites but not the best. I'm surprisd that more ILMers don't stick up for BTCS, the only reasons for this that I can think of is that they haven't heard it(it is one of the lesser known albums) or just don't care. I've already admitted that anything released after crash is corporate shit. In fact, the only reason I stick it out here is because I know the older stuff, their only music worth listening to, is sadly being either overlooked or brushed aside. You're missing out.

could we possibly devolve this thread any further?
i mean, if we could totally derail it into kittens and cookies for another 100+ posts, i'd be totally happy.

in fact, let's just go with kittens.
maybe kittens with anti-DMB propaganda...
hmmm, nah!
kittens. just kittens.

oooooh, OR ferrets playing.
a room full of ferrets playing!!!

For the record, I like Killing Joke, though not as much as Alex. And my favorite band is They Might Be Giants, and I'm not afraid to admit it even though I know there are folks around here who may give me shit for it.
No martin, you are not alone in proudly wearing your prosthetic forehead. I'm wearing mine right now.

one month passes...
Face it...ALL OF YOU DAVE MATTHEWS haters are just jealous cuz he is a bad ass, his music is beyond your level of comprehension, and he has a nice HYNIE! Want to touch the HYNIE! Ohh ohh baby....

Abby, Friday, 12 March 2004 02:29 (twenty years ago) link

he is a bad ass but he has a nice hynie? tricky.

is this officially the longest thread ever?

You should thank me for these random fans appearing with their words of wisdom. You really should!

two weeks pass...
Who do you all like to listen to?

Wolf Eyes: they make Dave Matthews look like a shitty college bar band.

Lil' Won Jilliams (ex machina), Tuesday, 30 March 2004 23:57 (twenty years ago) link

I've been hearing about this internet discussion for months now. One of my fans mentioned it to me after a gig in Winnepeg, I think. She was pretty upset about it, but I didn't care. I usually don't bother with stuff like this. But then I kept hearing about it, so i decided to check it out. It's actually very funny. And although I'm a little offended by some of the things people wrote, not everyone has the same taste - I realize that. But some of that shit is just hilarious. Some of my fans need to lighten up, yeah .. but that's people in general, isn't it?

I gotta go - (must keep sucking!) ...Assholes!

-Dave

JAJAJAJA!!! Is this for real?!
Wow! ilxor rules!!

Cacaman Flores, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 00:51 (twenty years ago) link

Wow is that weird. I was just going to comment how sad it is that while something along the lines of this

The Warlocks

is so short, this one here might be the longest ILisforloveM thread . . . And there's Dave! Dave, if that is or isn't you, bravo.

otto, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 03:26 (twenty years ago) link

the email address makes me think it unlikely, but it was a v v good approximation

minolta (minolta), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 04:38 (twenty years ago) link

Dave Matthews is nothing short of one of the greatest song writers to emerge in the past decade

I'm choking back vomit.

djdee2005, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 06:10 (twenty years ago) link

show all details: Dave Matthews = dave225?

willem (willem), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 06:24 (twenty years ago) link

Wow, you're good.

But that's what Dave told me over the phone yesterday. He didn't have time to log in.

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:40 (twenty years ago) link

Well, not far off. Anyway, I have never heared any Dave Mattheys Band, knowingly. Obv I am UK based. So what would their big hit be? in the same way as "ionlyyywannaaabewidyouggghhhhh" was recognisable for that band that Noel Gallagher thought were a damn sight worse than Blur... (forget now)

mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:43 (twenty years ago) link

It must die, it must die. It's like a bloody rugby ball as it is. Once again this beast has ruined my evening.

Sick Nouthall (Nick Southall), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 11:51 (twenty years ago) link

I actually gave the Dave Matthews Band a halfway non-negative review once. They're definitely an interesting band, even though I don't like them much. And Dave seems like a smart fella. Anyway, here it is:

Err......their music isn't.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 21:54 (twenty years ago) link

It IS, Alex! They've got a really original sound! Which isn't to say they're GOOD. But they're way less generic sounding than, say, Nirvana ever were (which again, isn't to say I like them more; I don't, but mainly because I can't get past the guy's voice...)

chuck, Wednesday, 31 March 2004 22:07 (twenty years ago) link

Very true, actually. Chuck wins a beer!

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 31 March 2004 22:09 (twenty years ago) link

you morons do not know about good music, and those of you who slander dmb and have not even attended a show are completely ignorant and idiotic. so please before you degrade them at least give them a chance, they make wonderful music and are indeed very inventive.

on another note i do believe people would hate dave matthews even more if he chose to collaborate with the likes of brittany spears. she has no talent execpt a few dance moves and body that is slowly but surely losing its wow factor.

darron jones, Thursday, 1 April 2004 02:23 (twenty years ago) link

Mm.

Chastised by a pedophile. My bingo card is almost full!

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 1 April 2004 03:49 (twenty years ago) link

You guys are all fuckheads. Bashing music that you dont understand.
Jesus Christ, if you dont like the band so what. I bet I dont like most
of the SHIT you listen too. I also bet half of you fuckers live in your
parents basement and have nothing better to do then start bullshit threads like this. Dave is talented and you are all dicks. FUCK ALL YOU
GUYS!

I Like Dmb, Thursday, 1 April 2004 03:55 (twenty years ago) link

Chastised by Cartman. BINGO!

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 1 April 2004 04:01 (twenty years ago) link

Why would you waste your time with a message board putting DMB down? Thats the thing I find stupid. I dont know, maybe other people will agree with me. If you dont like Dave Matthews Band, then good, nobody really gives a shit. Honestly, they dont. So dont waste your time with a pointless message board to just mock them for doing what millions of people love, including myself. Seriously now, theres no need to get all worked up over this. I think you are just taking it all too far. If you dont like the way he looks, dances, sings, plays, then keep it to yourself. Dont ruin it for others that really appreciate what they do. Your just being rediculous if you do.

...sez the guy who somehow actively searched out this thread in the wilds of the internet...heh.

I'll just give one reason for hating the DMB: the little 'pish' cymbals. And, yes, I saw them live opening for Neil Young once, or at least 2 songs or so.

Twice! (See "DMB" thread.. on second thought. Maybe don't)

donut bitch (donut), Thursday, 1 April 2004 04:47 (twenty years ago) link

It's almost disturbing how offended DMB lovers are by people talking smack about him.

oops (Oops), Thursday, 1 April 2004 05:09 (twenty years ago) link

By the way - to all of you Googlers who came here to defend Dave Matthews.. We aren't really putting down Dave ... We're putting down you. We couldn't care less about DMB .. it's you we hate, but moreover, it's fun to watch you go mental trying to defend your hero!

"Get a brain, morans"

dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 1 April 2004 11:41 (twenty years ago) link

Also, your speculations about our living arrangements and listening habits are wildly entertaining. (I get excited when a sentence begins with "I'll bet you guys ...")

For the record, we all live together in Chuck's parents' basement. And we all share one computer. And we do, in fact, listen to nothing but shit. Mystery solved. So now we can end that discussion.

Now, let's talk about spelling and grammar.....

dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 1 April 2004 11:48 (twenty years ago) link

this reminded me of this thread:

Frank Zappa Fan Thinks You Just Haven't Heard The Right Album
NEDERLAND, CO—In spite of your insistence that you are not into Frank Zappa, avid fan Roger Von Lee believes that you would change your mind if you heard the right album. "You're prejudiced, because the only Zappa you know is 'Valley Girl' and 'Don't Eat The Yellow Snow,'" Von Lee told you Tuesday. "Seriously, you need to check out Hot Rats or Absolutely Free. Zappa and the Mothers were at their peak, and Zappa's jazz-rock fusion experiments predate Bitches Brew. That'll totally convince you that Zappa's the shit." Von Lee added that if those two don't get under your skin, he can recommend another 15 to 20 albums that will for sure.

oops (Oops), Thursday, 8 April 2004 03:39 (twenty years ago) link

Just got this in my e-mail...

Dull? What type of music do you listen to? System of a down or sum 41, that shit is dull. Dave Matthews Band is the most talented and most giving band out there today. I garantee they will stand the test of time and be around for many years to come. P.S. Have you every listenened to anything but radio songs, probally not. You then have no opinion.

yep, it never stops.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 11 April 2004 15:57 (twenty years ago) link

Who sent you that?

Aja (aja), Sunday, 11 April 2004 16:08 (twenty years ago) link

Some excitable lad named "Mike".

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 11 April 2004 16:21 (twenty years ago) link

His name is as boring as the Dave Matthews Band.

Wait a minute. I'm not going to say that Kurt sang like an angel or anything like that but, if you can't stand Kurt's voice, how can you stand Dave Matthews'??

Aja (aja), Sunday, 11 April 2004 16:51 (twenty years ago) link

For fuck's sake, Aja....LET KURT GO!

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 11 April 2004 16:52 (twenty years ago) link

I DID!!!(sort of)

WHY DON'T YOU TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE!!!!

WHY THE HELL'D YA POST THAT EMAIL IF YOU WANTED THIS THEAD TO DIE???!!!!

AND BESIDES, IT'S NOT MY FAULT THEY ARE PAYING TRIBUTE TO NIRVANA ALL WEEK WITH THESE STRANGE NIRVANA COVERS!!!!

Aja (aja), Sunday, 11 April 2004 17:01 (twenty years ago) link

What advice? Get over Kurt? I was never into Kurt. Let it go, Aja. You're preventing his tortured soul from crossing over into the great beyond. You are damning him to limbo. Are you happy with that? How do you sleep at night?

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 11 April 2004 17:04 (twenty years ago) link

Not get over Kurt in particular, just get over this. You wanted this thread to end and you just helped it continue.

And anyway...

I sleep on a matress with out a bed frame in the "office" at my mom's and an old bed at my grandma's.

And look, the main reason I got into Nirvana was because of Dave Grohl. I thought you would be able to remember that. I had absolutly no idea about a man by the name of Kurt Cobain till I read the back of the sleeve of the greatest hits cd. I only started to like him when I found out he was left handed. You see, I have this think about left handed people. I tend to find more interest in them. And it's all because I'm left handed. So is my best friend. And the person who makes fun of my best friend the most. Also, this other girl. And the Sister who everyone hates and my soon to be 8th grade teacher. And finally, my homeroom teacher this year.

Aja (aja), Sunday, 11 April 2004 17:14 (twenty years ago) link

you people are absolutely ridiculous, not one of you has a good argument of why hes bad. Look what your writing....hes ugly, he sings like a donkey, he has a fetish with black people. But maybe ur right cause u listen to really talented kickass bands like tool and the deftones. You people are joke. You know hes huge when he has little clubs of why people hate him and i bet it pisses u people off.

Zach Dilanzo, Tuesday, 13 April 2004 21:40 (twenty years ago) link

hey...
you remember february 11th, 2003?

yeah.
nor do i.

oh,BMD, still suck.
i just had to.

eedd, Wednesday, 14 April 2004 05:19 (twenty years ago) link

I'd take TOOL or the DEFTONES over DMB in a heartbeat. With Tool, you might get to see KING CRIMSON open for them. The DEFTONES might play "Savory".

Lil' Fancy Kpants (The K is Silent) (ex machina), Wednesday, 14 April 2004 05:35 (twenty years ago) link
