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

Regardless of how I feel about DMB, this is a dumb thing to say. EVERYONE who's had ANY measure of success will still have people listening to them ten years after their success. Fact.

Actually, I defy anyone on this thread to list a band/artist who had a hit that no one ever listens to anymore. You just can't do it unless you happen to know exactly what every human being on the face of the earth is listening to at any given moment.

That's my point. They're not.

This thread has turned into a rote exercize of heaping scorn on other people's musical tastes for the cardinal sin of being different when it should have focused on heaping scorn on poxy Dave Matthews and his frightening chin.

second I rilly want some DMB fans to tell me which songs they like most, how the sound of his songs changed over the last few albums, why it stopped having that goofy bouncy feel of "what would you say" and if that's a good or bad thing, whether you like dave's peppy or dreamy voice more, etc.

[honestly Jon, leave the grammar baiting to usenet]

I've seen three Dave Matthews Band concerts (I'm from VA, and not only is it for lovers, it's for South African ex-pats who know just how good the weed is that grows at the feet of the Blue Ridge Mountains) and what struck me most was that there's a Jimmy Buffett-esque kulchur among the fans (partying, big smiles, neohippies), but it was firmly rooted in a Very Deep Respect for the music. No chants with certain parts. No choreographed hand movements from groups of excited grrls. None of that. And I found it really obnoxious -- the revelry that greeted the band, the closed eyes and mouthed words and shoulder hugs that made me feel like I was at a Promise Keepers rally.

Under the Table and Dreaming is good record.

(Deeply Stereotyped) DMB Fan: DMB roools! If you only heard more of their stuff, you'd agree that they're the best band ever!

Ned: But I've heard tons of their stuff and they bore the tits off of me. I am not engaged by their music at all and I don't have to be.

Sterling: NED YOU EVIL FIEND STOP TALKING DOWN TO PEOPLE.

There should be more inventive name-calling and teasing and less chastizing. Humor brings people together.

And y3ncey can eat a bag of stereotypical dicks. 50,000 DMB fans might be wrong but they're sure more interesting than corny indie fucks like you.

You own all our cd's- you're gay, you're gay
You own all our 7"s- you're gay, you're gay
You bought all our t-shirts- you're gay, you're gay
You go to all our shows- you're gay, you're gay

[Chorus:] All our fans are gay [x4]

You think you know what we are singing about- you're wrong
You think we care about the underground- you're wrong
You think we won't fuck up your club- you're wrong
You think we care if you like us- you're wrong

[Chorus]

If we're nice to you, it's because we're broke
Or unless you got some drugs to smoke
When the drugs are gone, then we are too
Then we'll go back to making fun of you

[Fan voice:] "But I've supported you guys for so long"
FAGGOT!

Not sure that's what's meant by "jam band," Millar, but run with that thought!

Further evidence that Custos Epsilon is truly deserving of the title, LORD. SALUT!
