There. That oughtta bring the pro-DMB crowds back.Maybe they'll actually try to rebut the Dave Haytas Complaints with something other that "U R All Gay" type comments.*

But anyhow...back to the debate (even though DMB Fan 1100 will probably never ever read this.)
It's you lot who replied with all the U R All Gay type comments.False. The ILM only starting making U R All Gay jokes after multiple accusations of being Creed/Slipknot fans. That was hurtful. It perfectly A-OK to be be Gay, but unforgivable in the eyes of God to be a fan of Creed.
Your hatred of the last great american band is blind.Lets overlook the ambiguity of the grammar (is the last great american band blind?) and dissect the accusation: I'd like to think that the future holds an undending plethora of Great American Bands, many of whom have not even formed yet. So they are hardly the "Last"; The consensus is that the lead singer sounds like a (muppet|donkey) and the fiddle is a shapeless din. So they are hardly "Great"; I'll skip the words American and Band...even though, for awhile, I thought they were from Canada. (I apologize to any Canadians who find this mistake on my part to be offensive. I meant no disrespect. Please don't send any Mounted Police to rough me up.)and no, our hatred isn't blind. We had plenty of time to think it over. They are played enough on the radio for us too all have plenty of opportunities to ponder it.
These guys write great songs.They wrote one good song: "Ants Marching". Everything after that has been smudgy copies of "Ants Marching".
They're awesome musicians...I'll take your word for it. I've never seen them play live. Hmmmmm. Though this might explain why the fanbase likes them so much. The Live Experience... Okay...serious question:Tell me. Do they sound better live than they do on the radio? And if so, is that what makes them special?
...they can outplay most rock bands (yes im aware jazz guys etc are better).Hmmm. Interesting....
The fact Dave has such a rabid loyal fanbase is proof they are great to me.(*Insert Boilerplate "Well, Popularity != Quality. Hitler was popular in the beginning." comment here*)
Or in I Love Music terms: Dave Matthews Band Rocks!Actually, an ILMer would've said "Dafe Mettews == Grebt!"
...and you still haven't rebutted the specific complaints listed here; you merely barked a "Dave r0x0r!"

"but breaking the sentence at that point..."Are you referring to where I broke it into two sentences 3 posts ago (when I tried to improve the sentence), or when I put the pause between "hatred of" and "the last great" (when I was isolating "the last great american band is blind")?
