Foolish woman, our Jihad will Cleanse the Universe of ALL jam bands!

god forbid what the frat boys & hippies would do even they ever got their hands on the spice Melange...

Give me spice! Drive them into utter submission. You must not show the slightest pity or mercy... as only you can... Never stop!

That CANNOT be a real photo. It HAS to be a holloween costume. Thats too friggin wretched for even the most acid-addled fule to wear.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Heed my warning, for your cruel endeavors will not go unpunished.
I.. I.. I've always been a big DMB fan... I mean, what's not to like? They're sweet, and they totally rock ... ! I never said nothin' bad about them. Help me out here, guys...

Wait - oh!
Foolish woman, our Jihad will Cleanse the Universe of ALL jam bands!
I hate DMB and all other jam bands. Buncha fucks. Screw 'em.

Did someone just secretly use "the voice" on dave225?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Your inane comments will no longer be tolerated, Custos. You leave me no choice but to kill you. Unless we are stopped, the wrath of a thousand cronies shall soon penetrate and demolish your army.

― Allison (Allison), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:03 (twenty-two years ago)

it's probably a pic of grown up frat types dressed up as hippies.

here's some real hippies

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 17:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Your inane comments will no longer be tolerated, Custos.
Try and stop me.
...
Ha, couldn't do it. (*Blows loud raspberry*)
You leave me no choice but to kill you.
I've got my personal shield on. You can't get me.

(Note: wouldn't it be hilarious if we found out that Allison was really Tanya Headon in disguise. And DMB turns out to be the only music she doesn't hate!)

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:19 (twenty-two years ago)

be careful! the slow blade penetrates!

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Then Allison and I will join each other in death!

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow...when you see that written down...that just looks sooooo "Amatuer Goth Poetry Slam Nite"

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Y'know what. This is too many "Dune" references for just one thread.
Kingfish...I suspect This thread can get more ~~melange~~ mileage out of them.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:37 (twenty-two years ago)

i know. I just like the fact that when this thread is revived in 2004, it'll have all this random sub-stream-of-consciousness turns, with the occasional holdover in pop culture. Like Odysseus wandered thru the modern day pop culture landscape, never able to return home, but never bored, either.

and, in our version, Odysseus looks like the Kurt Russell character in "Big Trouble in Little Trouble", riding thru the night on the Pork Chop Express.

plus, i thought it'd be funny to somehow conflate DMB & Dune references. It's certainly been entertaining for the last day or so.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 18:44 (twenty-two years ago)

It's officially 1200 posts. Nas and Jay-Z...we're coming after YOU.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:03 (twenty-two years ago)

RIP- Jack Nance.

this thread should just turn into a giant Jack Nance memorium, where we post quotes from all the lynch films he was in.

"she's dead. wrapped in plastic."

or just continue with the Dune references as they seem to pass overtop the heads of most. even the most ardent frat-geek-boy can't muster that kinda devotion...

gawd bless this thread. it keeps my hope alive...

― eedd, Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

We STILL haven't found the secret of life. We pray and we meditate and suck down huge quantities of sapphu juice and melange pellets...and we're just not making any headway.
Maybe Dave Matthews himself will appear -- Jesus-like -- and utter golden syllables of cosmische truth and we will all be enlightened...

...oh...wait, I'm sorry...I'm trying to type this with a straight face and it just...BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:24 (twenty-two years ago)

(side question: Exactly how many posts ARE in the Nas vs Jay-Z threads?)

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Wednesday, 23 July 2003 22:26 (twenty-two years ago)

say, how many of the lady ILM readers out there are sexually attracted to Brad Dourif for all the weirdo/psycho characters that he plays?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm amazed. Nobody in continental Europe (where I'm from) listens to Dave Matthews Band. I only know them very little from a feature on British MTV. There, they seemed pretty dull and harmless, and with a certain Patrick Bateman appeal (see: Genesis, Whitney Houston, Huey Lewis & The News). What's all the fuss about? Isn't DMB just plain ol' boring?

― Jay K (Jay K), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Ah, fuck off.

― Allison (Allison), Thursday, 24 July 2003 00:48 (twenty-two years ago)

No Doubt Y'All Redneck Hataz Would Prefer This
Too many rednecks on this forum. DMB have fans of all color,creed,class etc. Can't believe some of you all went on about how black people don't like DMB. How many black people like your beloved sonic youths and killing jokes? Not even a point worth considering is it? So why say it about DMB.
Dave Rocks!

― Helena, Thursday, 24 July 2003 03:17 (twenty-two years ago)

You can't rock if you're called Dave. Unless you're a DJ. Daves that are non-DJs do not rock, almost by definition. Do Colins rock? No. No way can a Colin rock. Neither can a Dave.

― colin s barrow (colin s barrow), Thursday, 24 July 2003 03:28 (twenty-two years ago)

"What you talkin' 'bout, colin?"

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 24 July 2003 04:07 (twenty-two years ago)

I would rebut Helena's assertion, but I suspect that all these DMB fans who jump in, post once and never post again would never read my brilliant rebuttal.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 11:03 (twenty-two years ago)

Helena completely undercut her point by linking to something that looks really, really cool in theory.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 24 July 2003 11:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Go for it Lord Custos.

― Helena, Thursday, 24 July 2003 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Okay, I'm back.
First: let's break down your post one clause at a time.

Too many rednecks on this forum.
You have obviously NOT been reading the forum. It's mostly indie kid fans and undie rapper fans. In fact, Redneckness is probably more common in the DMB camp then here.
Also, this is an ad hominem attack. Instead of rebutting the other posters, you instead say nasty things about the posters themselves Granted, the ILM'ers have been doing more of their fair share of that as well.

DMB have fans of all color,creed,class etc.
Of all the DMB fan *I've* ever met, have been ex-Deadhead white guys and...oh...rednecks (one dude -- who drives a truck by the way -- only has three tapes: Crash by DMB, Come on Over by Shania Twain, and greatest hits of Randy Travis. Why only three? He threw out his Dixie Chicks tape.)
I have yet to meet any black people who can stomach DMB.
(Contrary to points mentioned very very early in the thread: I haven't met any bankers or insurance men who like DMB either. They all seem to be into John Tesh or John Coltrane.)

Can't believe some of you all went on about how black people don't like DMB. How many black people like your beloved sonic youths and killing jokes?
I know a girl named VeShawn who only likes Metallica and Megadeth. Does that come close?

Dave Rocks!
you forgot to say "and u r all gay!"

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

How many black people like your beloved sonic youths and killing jokes?

Not that it matters in the slightest, but I know more black folks who like Killing Joke than I do who would ever stoop to the level of listening to DMB.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Yaaaaay! Alex is BACK!
But I don't see how anyone can be more of a KJ fan than Alex...unless they are all still in iceland wearing their tinfoil hats and praying that the end of the world will be quick and painless.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Why only three? He threw out his Dixie Chicks tape.

good set-up, fine delivery.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought ILM was pop!

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

So, Helena...whats your rebuttal to my rebuttal?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 14:59 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought ILM was pop!
Nope. Haven't ya heard? We're all a bunch of autosodomizing, t'bacca-chewin' redrecks, now.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:00 (twenty-two years ago)

yeah, Helena, where ARE your rebuttals? Put 'em on the glass, as they say around here.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not actually back. I'm sitting in an overly air-conditioned public library in Quogue on Long Island. The wife and I came out here for a week of sun, but it's been relentlessly rainy, alas.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 24 July 2003 15:19 (twenty-two years ago)

fuck every single person in here that talks shit about dave. every dmb lover can tell you how talented and incredible dmb is. but for all you idiots that have NOOOOOOOOOOOo idea and talk bad need to sit down with a dave album and just listen. listen to the words, listen to the music, listen to everything. and until you actually listen go fuck yourselves. dave rocks

― drew s, Friday, 25 July 2003 13:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Yay!

― J (Jay), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:23 (twenty-two years ago)

...and we are all gay.

yes, yes, we KNOW this.

also, looks like this thread will never die. Looks like it's time to start referencing other pop culture, since we've had our run of _Dune_.

What icon of Western Civilization shall we make jokes about today?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Drew. WE *HAVE* LISTENED. We Have NO CHOICE. He's on the RADIO...ALL...THE...TIME...!
We couldn't AVOID listening to him if we tried!

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

So - we're still waiting on a DMB fuckwit fan to give us an example of a good song. Just one fucking song!? Or is it his haircut that you love?

― dave225 (Dave225), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

So where's you rational rebuttal to that, eh, Drew?

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:26 (twenty-two years ago)

Jerry Springer is running for the U.S. Senate.

― J (Jay), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

ODB will kick his ass.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:34 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm disappointed by the DMB crew's constant refusal to put them rebuttals on the glass.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

They are Guerilla Trolls. They jump in, call us all idiots. Demand we listen to the nitwits dull and irritating music (like we could frigging avoid it), and then don't bother posting again.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Oh, except for Helena. (And she still hasn't rebutted by rebuttal.

― Lord Custos Epsilon (Lord Custos Epsilon), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Rebutting would only be a waste of time. It's imposible to prove any point here since everyone has already formed a bad opinion of the band and are obviously not willing to alter that opinion.

Song that captures the overall DMBness of DMB = So much to say.

― Allison (Allison), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:56 (twenty-two years ago)

Allison has proved her worth repeatedly, so in deference to her opinion I will listen to "So Much to Say" and try to glean some wisdom therefrom. If the meaning of life appears I'll let y'all know!

I was hoping Helena would show back up too. :-(

― J (Jay), Friday, 25 July 2003 13:59 (twenty-two years ago)

wait, that wasn't a radio single, was it?

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Friday, 25 July 2003 14:00 (twenty-two years ago)
