Dave Matthews fans scorning John Mayer fans: an object lesson in the narcissism of small differences.

― rogermexico (rogermexico), Saturday, 10 December 2005 04:47 (eighteen years ago) link

I give up you know. I don't care if this thread goes on forever. Let the Matthews fall where they may. We've got nothing left to lose, people. This thread may be the one thing that never dies.

In 1000 years, there will be an archive of the internet with the Peanut Butter Jelly Banana, Homestar, goatse, this thread, and three buttsex movies.

you know, you think this thread couldn't possibly have anything left to give, and then you get something as awesome as this

I know. Just amazing.

Amazing as hell. It's not even funny.

I read this whole thread and cannot believe this opinion hasn't been adequately expressed:

Dave Matthews is innocuous.

He isn't "exciting" or "original" or even "good" per se. But his music isn't really that offensive either. it just sort of exists. Like radishes or minor league baseball teams or the Family Feud with the guy from Home Improvement hosting.

WHAT DOES CHRISTGAU THINK?!

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Friday, 6 January 2006 01:20 (eighteen years ago) link

"Crash" gets a bomb.

He was a little nicer to this one but it's still funny:

Under the Table and Dreaming [RCA, 1994]
Popular groundswells do vary in discernment, as students of jogging, nail care salons, and tax limits know. Like his homeboy and forebear Bruce Hornsby, Matthews jams politely. His instrumentation invokes classical, jazz, and bluegrass niceties. And although one can understand the deep-seated impatience with agony-as-entertainment his renown reflects, he's as bland as a tofu sandwich. C+

three weeks pass...

Has anyone listened to Before These Crowded Streets? Can I suggest The Stone or Dreaming Tree? Perhaps try a show, it's freedom. I can understand why you hate us.

Glad we're on the same page.

man, freedom ain't what it used to be...and sure as shit ain't what it was....

REVIVE#5?

c'mon, people! the new DMB touring season's just around the corner...
we need to whip this thread into shape.
first, squat thrusts, then, free wieghts.

Just watch they don't dump shit over you.

personally, i'd love to see this thread hit the 4 yr mark. i know that's some ways away, but i think with a little hard work, some elbow grease, and a lot of luck, it just might make it anyway!!!

― eedd, Thursday, 27 April 2006 20:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Can someone pretend to be a sincerely outraged DMB fan and post it to like a myspace group or something?

― JW (ex machina), Thursday, 27 April 2006 20:34 (eighteen years ago) link

The ineffable brilliance of CcchrissS's post will outlast ILM itself

― Roque Strew (RoqueStrew), Friday, 28 April 2006 01:59 (eighteen years ago) link

whehn I see that the thread is awake, I think "there's no way that could still be funny any more," and I even feel a little irritated about it, and then I open the thread and maybe happen across the CcchrissS post and the joy grabs hold of me like the spirit of God moving across the face of the waters

"some of the greatest artists ever are bland" is like a beautiful riddle with no end.

some of the greatest artists ever are bland
Greatest post in the history of the internet. I really think this thread deserves a wikipedia entry.

― Brigadier Lethbridge-Pfunkboy (Kerr), Friday, 28 April 2006 23:10 (eighteen years ago) link

""some of the greatest artists ever are bland""

that would mean Yanni, Enya, Phil Collins solo career, Sting's solo stuff, and most "adult contemporary" would be considered "great art"?!!!
the mind boggles, freezes, reverses step, then falls off the world.

― eedd, Saturday, 29 April 2006 11:58 (eighteen years ago) link

This one cracks me up:

Perhaps try a show, it's freedom. I can understand why you hate us.

"And comparing him to Hitler? I think that's the rudest, most iggnorant thing I have ever heard. Hitler killed 6 million people. Dave makes 6 million people happy every year."

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Saturday, 29 April 2006 15:24 (eighteen years ago) link

theyre playing jazz fest tonight.
i helped build the stage theyre playing on.
i'm a little ashamed.

― fetch control, Saturday, 29 April 2006 19:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Hitler killed 6 million people.
I don't know why I feel compelled to debate historical death tolls on internet music fora, but Hitler killed a lot more than 6 million: http://users.erols.com/mwhite28/warstat1.htm#Hitler

DMB is the best band in existance - sorry

nice spelling, ant-boy.

DMB is the best band in existance - sorry

the rhetorical function of "sorry" in this sentance would undergo a remarkable transformation if the speaker were omniscient

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Sunday, 30 April 2006 14:22 (eighteen years ago) link

Even googling for "Dave Matthews band hated" only brings this thread up as #19. More effort required, I think

"DMB is the best band in existance - sorry
-- Adrian P (adria...), April 29th, 2006."

i can't help but ponder the idea that there IS a universe/multiverse where this statement is true, and how bad would it suck to live there?
just imagine, a world where ceaseless solos and careening fiddlin collide and never end!!!
it's almost more than i can bear to think about...

thanks gawd this is just a fabrication of a facsimile.
now, someone should post pics of kittens destroying a field of DMB fans...please?

― eedd, Sunday, 30 April 2006 15:21 (eighteen years ago) link

i love DMB, sting and coldplay

ILM wouldn't know great music if it ripped off your head and shat down your windpipe

― john clarkson, Sunday, 30 April 2006 22:51 (eighteen years ago) link

If that's what good music does, I think I'll stick with the non-decrapitating arts.

DMB is the best band.Ever. All of you haters probably listen to some rap shiat. Go to Bonnaroo and see all the greatness for yourself.

dave is a good man and tallented musicin, why yall hate jeez

― animal, Monday, 1 May 2006 05:06 (eighteen years ago) link

I have never met a DMB fan, ever. Nor have I ever had a discussion about this man's music. Weird how one can avoid something that inspires so much love/hate in millions. I have not been impressed with the few examples of his music that I've come across, but there's much more "worthy" things in life and music to hate.

Anyone who hates Dave Matthews obviously knows nothing about him or his music. Hes an amazing, talented, intellectual artist. His shows are are the best ever...the energy is awesome. Anyone who hates him and his band should go to a show, I bet you would change your mind real quick.DAVE MATTHEWS ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
