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)

You imbeciles are powerless against the the likes of us. I'm afraid your first mistake has already been made in underestimating our sizeable assemblage of hippies and frat boys. Surrender yourselves now to evade the extreme humilation and agony of your inevitable defeat.

We Fremen have a saying...
"God created DMB to test our patience."
One cannot go against the sick sense of humor of God.


...and his word shall carry death eternal
to those who stand against the righteous.

You fools! Did you honestly think that I would compose my regiment solely of frat boys and hippies? My master plan shall soon come into effect, and your attempts to rid the world of DMB fans will be a miserable failure. Heed my warning, for your cruel endeavors will not go unpunished.

I.. I.. I've always been a big DMB fan... I mean, what's not to like? They're sweet, and they totally rock ... ! I never said nothin' bad about them. Help me out here, guys...

Wait - oh!
Foolish woman, our Jihad will Cleanse the Universe of ALL jam bands!
I hate DMB and all other jam bands. Buncha fucks. Screw 'em.

Your inane comments will no longer be tolerated, Custos. You leave me no choice but to kill you. Unless we are stopped, the wrath of a thousand cronies shall soon penetrate and demolish your army.

Allison (Allison), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:03 (twenty years ago) link

it's probably a pic of grown up frat types dressed up as hippies.

here's some real hippies

Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:05 (twenty years ago) link

Your inane comments will no longer be tolerated, Custos.
Try and stop me.
...
Ha, couldn't do it. (*Blows loud raspberry*)
You leave me no choice but to kill you.
I've got my personal shield on. You can't get me.

(Note: wouldn't it be hilarious if we found out that Allison was really Tanya Headon in disguise. And DMB turns out to be the only music she doesn't hate!)

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:19 (twenty years ago) link

Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:28 (twenty years ago) link

Then Allison and I will join each other in death!

Wow...when you see that written down...that just looks sooooo "Amatuer Goth Poetry Slam Nite"

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:33 (twenty years ago) link

Y'know what. This is too many "Dune" references for just one thread.
Kingfish...I suspect This thread can get more melange mileage out of them.

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:37 (twenty years ago) link

i know. I just like the fact that when this thread is revived in 2004, it'll have all this random sub-stream-of-consciousness turns, with the occasional holdover in pop culture. Like Odysseus wandered thru the modern day pop culture landscape, never able to return home, but never bored, either.

and, in our version, Odysseus looks like the Kurt Russell character in "Big Trouble in Little Trouble", riding thru the night on the Pork Chop Express.

plus, i thought it'd be funny to somehow conflate DMB & Dune references. It's certainly been entertaining for the last day or so.

Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:44 (twenty years ago) link

It's officially 1200 posts. Nas and Jay-Z...we're coming after YOU.

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:03 (twenty years ago) link


RIP- Jack Nance.

this thread should just turn into a giant Jack Nance memorium, where we post quotes from all the lynch films he was in.

"she's dead. wrapped in plastic."

or just continue with the Dune references as they seem to pass overtop the heads of most. even the most ardent frat-geek-boy can't muster that kinda devotion...

gawd bless this thread. it keeps my hope alive...

eedd, Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:19 (twenty years ago) link

We STILL haven't found the secret of life. We pray and we meditate and suck down huge quantities of sapphu juice and melange pellets...and we're just not making any headway.
Maybe Dave Matthews himself will appear -- Jesus-like -- and utter golden syllables of cosmische truth and we will all be enlightened...

...oh...wait, I'm sorry...I'm trying to type this with a straight face and it just...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:24 (twenty years ago) link

(side question: Exactly how many posts ARE in the Nas vs Jay-Z threads?)

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:26 (twenty years ago) link

say, how many of the lady ILM readers out there are sexually attracted to Brad Dourif for all the weirdo/psycho characters that he plays?

Kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:22 (twenty years ago) link

I'm amazed. Nobody in continental Europe (where I'm from) listens to Dave Matthews Band. I only know them very little from a feature on British MTV. There, they seemed pretty dull and harmless, and with a certain Patrick Bateman appeal (see: Genesis, Whitney Houston, Huey Lewis & The News). What's all the fuss about? Isn't DMB just plain ol' boring?

Jay K (Jay K), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:39 (twenty years ago) link

Ah, fuck off.

Allison (Allison), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:48 (twenty years ago) link

No Doubt Y'All Redneck Hataz Would Prefer This
Too many rednecks on this forum. DMB have fans of all color,creed,class etc. Can't believe some of you all went on about how black people don't like DMB. How many black people like your beloved sonic youths and killing jokes? Not even a point worth considering is it? So why say it about DMB.
Dave Rocks!

Helena, Thursday, 24 July 2003 03:17 (twenty years ago) link

You can't rock if you're called Dave. Unless you're a DJ. Daves that are non-DJs do not rock, almost by definition. Do Colins rock? No. No way can a Colin rock. Neither can a Dave.

oops (Oops), Thursday, 24 July 2003 04:07 (twenty years ago) link

I would rebut Helena's assertion, but I suspect that all these DMB fans who jump in, post once and never post again would never read my brilliant rebuttal.

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 11:03 (twenty years ago) link

Helena completely undercut her point by linking to something that looks really, really cool in theory.

Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 24 July 2003 11:40 (twenty years ago) link

Go for it Lord Custos.

Helena, Thursday, 24 July 2003 13:25 (twenty years ago) link

Okay, I'm back.
First: let's break down your post one clause at a time.

Too many rednecks on this forum.
You have obviously NOT been reading the forum. It's mostly indie kid fans and undie rapper fans. In fact, Redneckness is probably more common in the DMB camp then here.
Also, this is an ad hominem attack. Instead of rebutting the other posters, you instead say nasty things about the posters themselves Granted, the ILM'ers have been doing more of their fair share of that as well.

DMB have fans of all color,creed,class etc.
Of all the DMB fan *I've* ever met, have been ex-Deadhead white guys and...oh...rednecks (one dude -- who drives a truck by the way -- only has three tapes: Crash by DMB, Come on Over by Shania Twain, and greatest hits of Randy Travis. Why only three? He threw out his Dixie Chicks tape.)
I have yet to meet any black people who can stomach DMB.
(Contrary to points mentioned very very early in the thread: I haven't met any bankers or insurance men who like DMB either. They all seem to be into John Tesh or John Coltrane.)

Can't believe some of you all went on about how black people don't like DMB. How many black people like your beloved sonic youths and killing jokes?
I know a girl named VeShawn who only likes Metallica and Megadeth. Does that come close?

Dave Rocks!
you forgot to say "and u r all gay!"

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:33 (twenty years ago) link

How many black people like your beloved sonic youths and killing jokes?

Not that it matters in the slightest, but I know more black folks who like Killing Joke than I do who would ever stoop to the level of listening to DMB.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:44 (twenty years ago) link

Yaaaaay! Alex is BACK!
But I don't see how anyone can be more of a KJ fan than Alex...unless they are all still in iceland wearing their tinfoil hats and praying that the end of the world will be quick and painless.

Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:54 (twenty years ago) link

Why only three? He threw out his Dixie Chicks tape.

good set-up, fine delivery.

Kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:54 (twenty years ago) link

I thought ILM was pop!
