Calling your band "The Dave Matthews Band" after "Dave Matthews" is like prefacing everything you say with "We have no ideas, but...".

there needs to be threads like this!
i say, more bands need people to tell them when enough is enough.
for DMB, that should've been around 1996.
possibly sooner based on the amount of bad impersonators that have been spawned in their evil wake...

ok, not evil, just dumb.

It's like comparing Backstreet Boys to George Bush...there is no comparisson.
This comment needs its own thread.

Both provide a funky new perspective on either bubblegum tradition or foreign policy.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Sunday, 25 January 2004 23:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Both would benefit from the nailgun treatment.

― sym (shmuel), Sunday, 25 January 2004 23:03 (twenty-two years ago)

both are severely averse to significant others (girlfriends; Western countries) wanting it in a way that they are unwilling to hear about

Grammys to include Beatle tribute

The Beatles' debut on the Ed Sullivan Show attracted 73m viewers
Sting will be among artists staging a special tribute to The Beatles during Sunday evening's Grammy Awards ceremony, it has been announced.
The tribute will mark the 40th anniversary of the Fab Four's first US television appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Rock singer DAVE MATTHEWS, R&B star Pharrell Williams and country singer Vince Gill will also join the tribute.

Other stars to perform at the Grammys include Prince and Justin Timberlake.

The Beatles' tribute marks a landmark event in US television history - when the group appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964.

Beatlemania

The appearance is credited as the moment when Beatlemania crossed the Atlantic, with an estimated 73 million people tuning in to see the show, with crime rates reportedly dropping in US cities during the broadcast.

Sting is among musicians lined-up for the tribute

The group performed I Want To Hold Your Hand, She Loves You, All My Loving, Till There Was You and I Saw Here Standing There.

They went on to make three more appearances on the show.

This year's Grammy Awards ceremony in Los Angeles - the 46th - will also include live appearances by the Black Eyed Peas and Beyonce Knowles.

Knowles is among the leading contenders with six nominations - the same number as rap star Jay-Z and R&B-hip-hop act Outkast.

Timberlake, Eminem and Missy Elliott are among nine artists with five nominations each.

What kind of cookies?

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:03 (twenty-two years ago)

the smell of this thread is honking up the whole board......someone put it in the trash!

― pete s, Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

But I want milk and cookies!

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Aja has the Right Idea.

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I guess so.

But seriously...

What kind of cookies?!

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:17 (twenty-two years ago)

haters of this thread are so clue-lacking - if I ever get a tattoo, it's gonna say 3299377

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:19 (twenty-two years ago)

Why not:

Many people agree the Dave Matthews Band SUCKS!!!

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Not me!!

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 5 February 2004 02:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't say everyone.

You like the Dave Matthews Band?! How can you?

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Because their songs are catchy and they're all, like, ridiculous virtuosos on their respective instruments. Especially their drummer, Carter Beauford. That guy belongs in some kind of drummer's hall-of-fame. Ever heard the live version of "Lie in Our Graves"? Jeez, how the FUCK can ANYBODY play that fast?

This thread is funny.

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:20 (twenty-two years ago)

You're crazy!

― Aja (aja), Thursday, 5 February 2004 03:23 (twenty-two years ago)

What kind of cookies?!
erm ... how about chocolate chip? i could also make some nice banana/caramel muffins.

― Jay Kid (Jay K), Thursday, 5 February 2004 10:27 (twenty-two years ago)

I hate bananas. Love caramel though.

― Aja (aja), Friday, 6 February 2004 05:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave could vindicate his existence if he were to release the following as a limited edition single:

"It's Not Easy Being Green" b/w "The Rainbow connection"

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Friday, 6 February 2004 18:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Lambchop has dibs on "It's Not Easy Being Green"

Dave could vindicate his existence if he were to write a decent song.

Aja, you've taken the groundless genralizations to an entirely new level. For this, I thank you.

oh, and DMB continue to suck, new levels of bad music are being plumbed, brand new depths are being gauged, as we type.

allsion, if every DMB fan stuck in as hard as you, maybe this thread would've stopped 1000+ posts ago...

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Saturday, 7 February 2004 01:27 (twenty-two years ago)

No. We need kittens surrounded by cookies.

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 04:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Aja == most brilliant ILM member.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:33 (twenty-two years ago)

Thank you!

― Aja (aja), Saturday, 7 February 2004 06:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Wow. All I can say is that I spent my entire evening reading this whole thread. I normally post more to ILE than ILM, but the beauty of this thread has made me begin to reconsider that approach.

Allison, I thought the first album was decent. I seem to recall liking at least 4 of the songs, particularly "So Much to Say." I did listen to the next two albums. More than once even, and nothing particularly caught my interest. I mean nothing. In fact I found it odd that the stuff was so devoid of anything that might make me notice. I mean, not even one little spot where I went, "oh, that's kinda cool." I was aware of being bummed that the stuff I liked on the first record didn't even appear briefly on the others.

I hope that makes you feel a little less alone on this thread.

― martin m. (mushrush), Saturday, 7 February 2004 11:30 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't even know what the first album is. I guess you're talking about UTTAD, which is still one of my favorites but not the best. I'm surprisd that more ILMers don't stick up for BTCS, the only reasons for this that I can think of is that they haven't heard it(it is one of the lesser known albums) or just don't care. I've already admitted that anything released after crash is corporate shit. In fact, the only reason I stick it out here is because I know the older stuff, their only music worth listening to, is sadly being either overlooked or brushed aside. You're missing out.

― Allison (Allison), Saturday, 7 February 2004 14:33 (twenty-two years ago)

could we possibly devolve this thread any further?
i mean, if we could totally derail it into kittens and cookies for another 100+ posts, i'd be totally happy.

in fact, let's just go with kittens.
maybe kittens with anti-DMB propaganda...
hmmm, nah!
kittens. just kittens.

oooooh, OR ferrets playing.
a room full of ferrets playing!!!
sweet mother of gawd, what fun!!!!!!!!

For the record, I like Killing Joke, though not as much as Alex. And my favorite band is They Might Be Giants, and I'm not afraid to admit it even though I know there are folks around here who may give me shit for it.
No martin, you are not alone in proudly wearing your prosthetic forehead. I'm wearing mine right now.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Sunday, 8 February 2004 02:57 (twenty-two years ago)

one month passes...

Face it...ALL OF YOU DAVE MATTHEWS haters are just jealous cuz he is a bad ass, his music is beyond your level of comprehension, and he has a nice HYNIE! Want to touch the HYNIE! Ohh ohh baby....

― Abby, Friday, 12 March 2004 02:29 (twenty-two years ago)

is this officially the longest thread ever?

― the surface noise (electricsound), Friday, 12 March 2004 02:33 (twenty-two years ago)

You should thank me for these random fans appearing with their words of wisdom. You really should!

― Mr Google, Friday, 12 March 2004 12:50 (twenty-two years ago)
