Dave Matthews Band : Name Your Reasons Why They Are So Bad & Hated.

it was horrible.

The 2000th post was impossibly perfect.

It's like the punchline to the longest vaudeville setup ever. That it was in no way contrived gives it serious purchase on being the single most perfect thing ever. A serendipitous gift, borne on the warm cosmic cross-winds of Google.

Thank you ILM. Thank you.

really? that's EXACTLY why i dislike him+his music.
cuz i've seen/heard too much.
why, this weekend, for instance, i had to explain (with some amount of tact, mind you) why it was i found him so bland to about 10 DMB fanatics whom were totally amazed that someone could acutally NOT enjoy that music. i went about it w/ an amazing degree of 'non-ass-holeishness' (for having drunk 1/5 of tequila, cannonballed w/ wine)
and found that the concept of not liking DMB is totally foreign to some folks...
i think i blew they're mind when they asked what i DID listen to, as they knew some of it, but found none of it appealing unless it somehow related back to DMB somehow.
it's like '6 degree of DMB' which is a tricky and evil thing to do to a drunk person...

i will admit that my first concert ever was dave matthews band. i was 14. saw him at a hockey arena, shortly before their second big album came out. was very excited. oh boy, was he ever dreamy. especially in his crappy waffle-knit henleys and unwashed khakis, pre-MTV makeover and gigantic piles of tour revenue.

ten years later, and, er, yeah. remember: i was 14.

it's boring music for boring people.

there is a guy that plays cover songs on an acoustic guitar on the deck at this bar near where i live, that you have to walk past on the weekends to get anywhere. for some reason, probably because god hates me, i've run into him covering "ants marching" or "crash into me" almost every time i'm there. someday i'm going to do something awful to him, possibly involving angry, hungry dogs or big, sharp sticks. only one of us will come out of it alive.

believe it, frat boy!

wait, where is the dave=hitler thing?!

fer the record, if you live in the US, it's awfully hard to AVOID hearing him play...amazing isn't it?

hence my displeasure with his musick.

(It's a lot easier in the UK, obv)

dunno how i missed this...
it was a Cinco De Mayo party thrown by a DMB obsessed grrl, whom i had an inkling of intrest in. suffice to say, that's all over and done and the party, while a drunkenly great success, was perhaps an eye-opening experience to those whom love the DMB while myself and my drinking partner explain (subtley, mind you)how utterly bland and uninspired DMB is to some. they were shocked and dismayed.
i was drunk and tryin to step lightly...

I feel a t-shirt comin' on

At first I thought you were talking about ACTUAL pirates and I suddenly had a lot more respect for Dave, what with picturing him in a British navy officer's uniform, crossing swords with bucaneers, and all that. But no.

HAHAHAHAAAAHHA!!!man, that's great! can i use that?! yeah? cooool.

oh, and DMB "solved" racism?! wha??!! when?
and what does buld mean? and srsly??

rap?? what does that have to do w/ DMB? does carter rap now, too!???

and, i've done plenty to help humanity. actually, right now, even!
doin a fund raising show for the Salvation Army to help Katrina victims. so, shut face, dickstick.

i'm slightly sad about that.
that pic was some serious comedy for quite a few peeps...
oh vell.

chapter 1 - listen to gay english music

chapter 2 - be a loster

chapter 3 - hate things that are populer

chatper 4 - dont get layed

dooshes?!!!man, you got this spellin thing DOWN, mah man!!! what's a matter? yr pious stance gave way to free-form trash talk that a 13 yr old would find blasse...this makes me weep. and the baby jeses!

damn you, dave's good arm! you beat me to the punch...

where did the 'gay english music' thing come from???!
i don't recall any mention of The Moz here!

(Even though you are an ILM trolling kidder, this is still kinda funny. But your fake bad spelling is over the top, even for a DMB fan. You're trying too hard!)

see, now yr missing the point of this thread as it stands- it's almost no longer (almost!) about DMB and his lousy music or his fans! now, the thread's "devolved" into a limbo-esque state of near-constant semi-irony and not-so-clever baiting in hopes of random googlers finding this thread and posting in it! therefore, the thread can NOT die due to DMB's rabid and apparently mild-illiteracy.

my spelling not withstanding. and pics of Nick n' Buzz also.

Dave Matthews is such a bad singer he makes scott stapp of Creed look great!

We have everyone needed except for a drummer and singer. We are a newly formed band looking for someone who can replicate this stuff near exact, since cover bands can easily wreck it by playing songs thier own way. We would like to practice two times a week (evenings) until we get tight, then once a week. We plan on playing atleast four times a month for some cash. Please be sure you have the time/wifes permission/dedication to do this before emailing me. I have had a TON of responses, then when I tell them when practice is, I never hear from them again. Email me up if this sounds good to you.

THIS SOUNDS GOOD TO ME.

EMAILS FORTHCOMING THANKS

...has respect of fellow musicians like sting,peter gabriel, allanis,sheryl crow,Meredith Brooks,Counting Crows

hahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahahah!

priceless!

I remember the first two albums, and I don't see how anyone could listen to the entirety of "Remember Two Things" and not admit there was some stunning talent at work, here. I regret that DMB never fulfilled their potential. I had a dream recently that they had done something new that was good as the first two albums and it was blissful, but when I awoke, it was all a mirage. I went to allmusic to explain to me what has happened to the band since I quit following their work so many years ago and even the verdict there seemed to say they had lost the plot. That makes me sad. And it makes me sad that they'll always be known for the 'shit incident'. There is a real lost potential here, and that is sad, to me.

Please commence the jokes...
