Aha, I've just found the reference (about 1,700 posts above) to Travis and Ocean Colour Scene. I understand completely now....

Dave USED to be better than a lot of stuff on the radio…in like 1994. Under the Table and dreaming was a good album. As far as I can tell after that it was downhill musically, as popularity got huge. I started to develope an intense dislike for him as I saw tons of people I had no respect for at college worship him. In my experience, it was all the cool interesting people who DID NOT like him, and all the sort of groupie/unoriginal people who DID. I know there are plenty of very intelligent people out there who like him, I know a few of them…but mostly, I think it’s his overwealming uncurious/unoriginal followers who just go with what the crowd thinks is popular and love him that turns me off big time. I used to have a stereoype (circa 1998) of people who liked him–it went something like this “Yeah, I drive a jetta, shop at Abercrombie and Fitch, Listen to DMB, Phish…

So there...Stupid Matthews! Stupid overal fan base....Big fat stupidness everywhere. People think for yourselves...take your asses to the barber shop. Tell the barber you're sick of looking like an asshole. Wesley Willis has more talent in one little finger.

Because thats what all the popular kids liked in highschool... and instead of going Columbine on them, I just vowed to hate DMB....

Oh, and the music sounds like the weather channel...boring ass shit meant to be playing in the background as newscasters talk, then go home, then listen to the same shit in their cars.

― Boards of Canada, Friday, 8 April 2005 14:42 (nineteen years ago) link

I can't even remember why I used to like these guys. something about ... perhaps ... maybe ... nope. nothing.

Dave sucks cock for a living!

― drainbrain, Friday, 8 April 2005 19:12 (nineteen years ago) link

here's the thing about indie kids: they suck. they like bands shirts more than the bands, and all the music they listen to sounds the same. a bunch of shaggy unemployables trying to sound as lo fi as possible, because all honest music sounds like it was recorded in a vacuum cleaner. it's not about music with indie kids. they don't like dave matthews because he's on the radio and people who aren't hip as them like them. i didn't go to the link, but i'm certain there isn't one legitimate musical argument there. they think they know a lot about music because they can name a lot of obscure bands. hipsters blow. now you've got me started on these fucks. great. i'll be angry the rest of the day now.

― labatt blue, Friday, 8 April 2005 19:43 (nineteen years ago) link

labatt blue, you can suck on my hairy balls...while you read this comment...so anyway, you have a point about the teeshirts and all that, why the hell do indie kids like that shit? actually it's fair to say some do. Any, allow me to let you know that Dave matthews Shits on people's faces just for fun! You could be next...you don't think that bus driver who dropped all that shit on people in the river really did it? NO...it was fucking Matthews...all because he thought they were some dumb asses who listened to his music...thinking, how are these mainstream assholes so damn stupid do be listening to my sorry ass over and over?

I hope you fart until your world is full of your own asshole smell

Dave matthews will CUM on your face and then you will lick it off!

who will score the coveted 2000th post?

― labatt blue, Friday, 8 April 2005 20:24 (nineteen years ago) link

Whoever does, I hope it involves Dave Matthews' plasma given that all his other bodily fluids have been given time.

They bring shame to the church..they corrupt america's youth. They incourage mindless hippie sex. Dave should have his ballsac put on a chopping block and pounded with a sledge hammer, while all his pansy-ass fans with their white jock-ass baseball caps, low-IQ buisness middle management positions, preteen girls, circus monkey frat boys, ALPHA BETA LAMDA bullshit people sit back and stare at their lives passing before him, as his reproductive seed is smashed forever and ever...so that there will no longer be anyone to pass on his complete utter assholeness too. Fuck off and Die dave.

2000, like the year, comes not with a bang, but a whimper.

And not a trace of plasma, either.

ok DMB fans, you really make asses of yourselves by generalizing the ungeneralizable....but you are easily generalized. You are assmunchers.
You like a retarded artist dedicated to buttsex and fingerbanging.

The landmark of 2000th post deserved something better like when it reached 1000. At least some cake and balloons.

Why do I keep opening this thread?

was a question asked as far back as April 20, 2004.

My psyche has been permanently traumatized by Dom's repetitive photo bombardment.

I think I need a shrink.

or not.

"Wesley Willis has more talent in one little finger." in reference to Mssrs. Matthews and band.

The amazing thing about this is that it's true. And Wesley's dead...but the statement is still rooted in undeniable fact.

Dear DMB fans. A dead schizophrenic has a lifeless appendage that is more talented than your favorite musician. Just thought you should know...

I keep hoping you will fight back, rather than disappearing into the ether. I can only assume you are too busy smoking your hacky-sacks, or whatever it is that neo-hippies do when they aren't out doing that orbit-in-a-circle dance or sticking Phish stickers over their fraternity logos on mom's Jetta.

Jerks.

I wish the internets would have explodered after RJG's posta 2000*. Because this thread sucks now. It was always stupid, but now it's damn fucking stupid, and not in a good way.

I find it amusing that people can find so much hate towards someone else's opinion. Every single person on this thread, whether you like DMB or not, if you replied with a hateful message, you are just as good as hitler, george bush (both), Satan (if you choose to believe, and every other person on this earth who decided that their opinion is better than another. If you had half a brain cell you would realize that your efforts have fallen short of nothing.

Why don't you start a thread called "Why I hate Jews" or "Why Americans are better than everybody else" or how about "Why my penis is bigger than yours" they would have about as much value to society as this one does.

Thank you.

― Zach, Tuesday, 12 April 2005 22:11 (nineteen years ago) link

(if you choose to believe)

I think people that don't like Dave just tend to be more critical. Like they'd close their parentheses, not because they're evil, but because they're not self-centered enough not to care about the readibility of their posts. And there's no way they'd ever compare others' hatred for a topic as inconsequential as their favorite band to one of the most horrible events in history. That's the kind of spoiled brat solipsism people tend to associate with Dave fans.

― mt. zion, Tuesday, 12 April 2005 22:22 (nineteen years ago) link

I hate Dave Matthews Bands because he wasnt at the Warped Tour and if he is not at the Warped Tour or for sale at Hot Topics then I don't care because I'm fucking indie to the core bitch. Does anybody know where I can buy a new leather bracelet? I lost mine at a Dave Matthews Bands concert. I LOVE THEIR COVER OF MAIDENS RUN TO THE HILLS!!!
