I now weep tears of joy

my top ten: Lifter Puller, Prince, James Brown, Sly & the Family Stone, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Velvet Underground, Acen, Luomo, Funky 4 + 1, Raydio

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 19 July 2003 07:29 (twenty years ago) link

Raydio!

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 July 2003 07:35 (twenty years ago) link

Matos ain't afraid of no ghosts!

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 July 2003 07:35 (twenty years ago) link

no, that's solo Ray Parker Jr. Raydio is the first three albums (well, the first two, the third is Ray Parker Jr. & Raydio)

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 19 July 2003 07:37 (twenty years ago) link

Raydio is where Ray Parker realizes he has nothing to fear from the dead.

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 July 2003 07:40 (twenty years ago) link

it is when he goes solo, and is able to face death down on his own terms, that he is able (and willing) to declare "I ain't afraid of no ghosts"

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 July 2003 07:41 (twenty years ago) link

Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio

― M Matos (M Matos), Saturday, 19 July 2003 07:41 (twenty years ago) link

Alex , Ned & KJ all dissed by a dave matthews fan. Doesnt it bring tears of joy to you all?

Tears of laughter to me, frankly. As does this post. ;-)

bustin makes me feel good!

you got ghosts, baby, freaky ghosts...

Just found this and spent an hour reading it. What a load of shit. You retards clearly don't know anything about music. You cant even give good reasons what you think is wrong with the music. You all suck. All the bands you like suck.Dave Matthews Band are the most talented band since my other favorite band The Beatles.
And arent killing joke the band that ripped off that shit grunge group Nirvana, who killed good music in the 90s?
Indie music sucks!

― Dave Matthews Is God!, Saturday, 19 July 2003 18:30 (twenty years ago) link

you know you're right

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 July 2003 18:31 (twenty years ago) link

I've noticed that many of the DMB fans seem to truly hate Nirvana .Blamingthem for killing good music? Which music would they be talking about?
And as for dissing Indie/Alternative music .... I thought DMB fans claimed they were alternative and lead alternative lifestyles like The Dead etc did before them?

― Jaime, Saturday, 19 July 2003 18:33 (twenty years ago) link

accounting's an alternative lifestyle?

― James Blount (James Blount), Saturday, 19 July 2003 18:34 (twenty years ago) link

Somebody had to count the profits from all those Jerry Garcia ties.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 19 July 2003 18:36 (twenty years ago) link

Do you really expect me to take the bait on this one? I know I'm somewhat predictable, but c'mon.....give me SOME credit.

Attention DMB aficionados: If you obtain the urge to express your devotion to the Dave Matthews Band, please refrain from doing so untill you have proofread your post, making sure that you have conveyed your adoration in a completely respectful and intelligent manner, so as to avoid nullifying Allison's many attempts at regaining esteem for herself and other Dave Matthews Band admirers.

There are 4 very simple rules.
1) There are TWO spaces after you end a sentence. I'm led to believe that the only people who aren't aware of this are DMB fans that post on this thread.
2) DO NOT insult Killing Joke or Alex in NYC. You WILL be ruthlessly chastised by an extremely callous man.
3) The Dave Matthews Band is NOT "the best band ever". Please avoid saying so unless you have heard every band ever.
4) Spell check, people...use the fucking spell check!

― Allison (Allison), Saturday, 19 July 2003 19:49 (twenty years ago) link

"talent"

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 19 July 2003 19:58 (twenty years ago) link

5)Let Allison do all your arguing

― oops (Oops), Saturday, 19 July 2003 19:59 (twenty years ago) link

(Admittedly I just posted that to be an asshole; I'm sure there are much more complex songs in DMB's repertoire)

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:02 (twenty years ago) link

I still totally <3 Allison.

― Cozen (Cozen), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:05 (twenty years ago) link

I'll say in DMB's defense that that song is an instrumental bonus track that is useful only if you want something to fall asleep to.

― Allison (Allison), Saturday, 19 July 2003 20:43 (twenty years ago) link

I find it hard to believe that even Dave Matthews mum would like his music..

― Sly, Sunday, 20 July 2003 01:10 (twenty years ago) link

You WILL be ruthlessly chastised by an extremely callous man.

Thanks a lot.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Sunday, 20 July 2003 03:32 (twenty years ago) link

You WILL be ruthlessly chastised by an extremely callous man.
Well when you phrase it like that, it sounds like it'll cost a lot of money and involve a latex bodystocking.

I cant wait for Dave's solo album. Should be terrific.
Will he tour?

― Toni, Sunday, 20 July 2003 14:33 (twenty years ago) link

I'm sure the good folks here will all download it and give it a fair chance and then review it on this board. Some may even secretly buy it, like they do with DMB albums. They just wont admit it as dave isnt trendy enough for them.

― Carl, Sunday, 20 July 2003 23:58 (twenty years ago) link

Just keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile, did you know that not everyone likes the same flavors of ice cream you do?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 21 July 2003 01:59 (twenty years ago) link

mint chocolate chip to thread!

There are 2 kinds of people in this world. Those who like Dave Matthews Band, and those who don't. And I would never want to have lived this life being one of the ones that don't.

The best band on earth = Dave Matthews Band.

Those who don't agree just suck, and that's the plain and simple truth.
Thank you, and goodnight.

"Some people like to drink.. some people don't. Some people like to think and some won't.. some people like to smoke a bowl, and some don't.. some people do.. and some people don't. But its ok, 'cause its meant to be that way." - Dave Matthews

Dave, obviously, is a little more tolerant of people with bad taste in music than I am.

Peace out nerds.

How ironic, the entire DMB thread summarized by a shitty DMB lyric.

― NA the Billion Dollar Hobo (Nick A.), Monday, 21 July 2003 11:28 (twenty years ago) link

Can't we please just take this thread to the ASPCA and have it put to sleep? It keeps threatening to froth at the mouth.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Monday, 21 July 2003 11:33 (twenty years ago) link

You'll never make it to 2000 with that attitude.

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 21 July 2003 11:40 (twenty years ago) link

Thats okay. I just spend eternity partying like it's 1999.

oh, the humor on a monday morn

Oh for fuck's sake why wont it just die?

Some lessons aren't learned, I see.

Dave Matthews Band will one day crack Britain. His genius means he can't remain unknown across the water. He just needs to tour and play Glastonbury to raise his profile.

Have we stumbled across the meaning of life yet?

i think this thread killed ILX for a day.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 22 July 2003 11:47 (twenty years ago) link

It Didn't because Dave Matthews Band IS the meaning of life!

― The Resurrector, Tuesday, 22 July 2003 14:38 (twenty years ago) link

is that anything like the Water of Life?

stupid photoisland. i need to remember that they only allow one link per page.

fun fact: the kid who played Alia grew up into the tasty Alicia Witt, who was the little piano-playing sister in "Twin Peaks", and was the freaky ex-porn chick in "Cecil B. Demented"

Save this thread!

(This is Mark C, who never posts on ILM, volunteering for the ILXor army in the 100 Years of Dave Mattews War. I would be perfectly willing to lay my life down for the right to diss the least interesting, ambitious and vivacious music on the planet)
