I looked on the dmb fan site and this thread is on there and whoever said that dmb fan have bad grammar I couldn't find one error in spelling.

Alec, spelling and grammar are two different things. The grammar of the sentence you've written here, for example, is atrocious, although there aren't any misspelt words in it.

I hate to belabor the obvious, but other than the fact that his lyrics are middle-school (cf. the example above and the deathless "hike up your skirt and show your world to me"); and the fact that just about every song starts with an acoustic guitar intro before the band inevitably kicks in; and the fact that everyone says he and his band improvise when they don't, they just take long solos, there's also the fact that his fans say things like "you're just jealous" and "you don't UNDERSTAND his music" and of course "Britney Spears-loving retards" and "I hope you mothergrabbing faggets will go and die."

Maybe an artist shouldn't be held accountable for the irritating behavior of his/her fans, and from what I've read it doesnt seem like Dave Matthews himself would hold any views like that. But it's not easy to separate.

I came across this site while looking for a choral arrangement of "Everyday." I don't understand how people can be so disrespectful to musicians who are making money off of what they do. Obviously they are doing something right because they make money, and lots of it. You hate the band, so what? Is it really that important to make that known that you have to dedicate a site to why that is? Someone has way too much free time on their hands. So, is everyone on this site that is bashing DMB a record executive who decides whether a band gets signed or not... no. So who cares what YOU have to say about how "bad" they are? Do you think people really care that YOU think "he sounds like a muppet," or that you think his lyrics are "middle-school?" Not really. So, a little piece of advice to all of you who think it's cool to bash bands who matter so much more than any of you will, get a life.

If we matter so little, why did you bother to write anything?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 May 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, it's really not that important to tell others what we think about DMB, or any other musical artist for that matter. The name I Love Music should be changed to Music Just Isn't That Important So Let's Not Bother Writing About It Anymore.
I love this thread. It cannot be killed. It cannot die!

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Monday, 10 May 2004 16:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Whats everyones reasons for hating them? Particularly interested in the views of Americans.
-- John McAteer (j.mcateer200...), February 11th, 2003. (17 trackbacks)

This guy asked. Have you even looked at the top of the thread?

By the way, you do realize, don't you, that the Dave Matthews quote is completely cribbed from Duke Ellington and no doubt others? (To his credit, Dave Matthews probably knows this.)

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Monday, 10 May 2004 17:02 (twenty-two years ago)

I looked on the dmb fan site and this thread is on there ...

Can we get a link to that page?

Also, still waiting for something from a DMB fan that's more compelling than "Dave is great. U R all Gay."

― dave225 (Dave225), Monday, 10 May 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I am a gay faggot and i want to suck every man's dick in the world. I am half way to my goal. Who will be next. It could be you or you. But you wont know cause i will sneak up on you in the middle of the night and suck it. But the bottom line of this letter is that i really want to suck dave mathews dick.

I wonder if 'John' realised what horrors he would bring about.

Ugh! Again with the money issue! Since when is the accumulation of wealth any indication of substance and/or quality? Fuckin' Insane Clown Posse have made a lot of money too.....are they then doing something right?

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 10 May 2004 17:17 (twenty-two years ago)

Michael Bolton and Haliburton are both quite wealthy.

In DMB-thread time, we are now approaching the year 1967: get ready for some crazy antics in Paris & Chicago

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Monday, 10 May 2004 17:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Hey Stacey, there is a great big difference between a thread and a site. "Someone has way too much free time on their hands", I'd say someone has a love for music so much that they dedicate not only hours listening to it, but also talking about it. Thats the whole reason behind the name, ILM, ...jackass.
Anyway, I'm sure most people here don't have that much free time on their hands, they are just enlisted in jobs were there is great access to the internet, i.e. such as college students, graduate students, journalists, etc. (Well at least I log in whenever my gels are running)
"So, a little piece of advice to all of you who think it's cool to bash bands who matter so much more than any of you will, get a life."
I'm so sorry we don't have a 'life', tell us what do you do in your free time, oh mighty god of all that is normal.
"bands who matter so much more than any of you will", Hey Stacey, you wanna make a bet?
I don't know why I waste my time bashing someone who'll never come to this site again.
Anyway, I agree, this thread must never die!!!!!

― MODERATOR (Dan Perry), Monday, 10 May 2004 17:26 (twenty-two years ago)

oh my god....this thread really won't die.

I think everyone's entitled to their own opinion of music and it just so happens that the majority of people who regularly post on ILE dislike dave matthews band. It's not like any of us have gone on any DMB fan sites calling them "faggets" (by the way, Rex, it's spelled "faggots"--with an "O", not an "E").

It's one thing to go on this board, like Naga_Pampa did, and join in the debate--but it's another to act like some crazed fundamentalist Christian, calling us fags for discussing why we dislike DMB.

Please, Rex, get thee in a suit and on a bike and go on a mission spreading the gospel of DAVE and leave this board alone.

― googlie (Oops), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:49 (twenty-two years ago)

OH BABY.

Hm, Dave Matthews, Toby Keith and Bush coverage. It's like an issue designed for me to piss on.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:53 (twenty-two years ago)

get out of my dreams and into my pants

― oops (Oops), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:54 (twenty-two years ago)

ugh...

― Allison (Allison), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:55 (twenty-two years ago)

She's back!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 10 May 2004 22:58 (twenty-two years ago)

so do you know of any other smart, sane DMB fans, Allison?

― oops (Oops), Monday, 10 May 2004 23:01 (twenty-two years ago)

I do, actually. The smart, sane ones just know better than to argue with you lot.

― Allison (Allison), Monday, 10 May 2004 23:06 (twenty-two years ago)

Man, I just read this whole thread. It was actually surprisingly entertaining...but 1700 posts!? Dave probably has a room posted with printouts of this thread, with his gold records on the wall...

― Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Monday, 10 May 2004 23:29 (twenty-two years ago)

yay! I was worried Allison had left us.

― Shakey Mo Collier, Monday, 10 May 2004 23:31 (twenty-two years ago)

That RS cover is kinda scary.

― abc, Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

No it's not.

It's VERY scary.

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:27 (twenty-two years ago)

ugh

― Andy Jay, Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:28 (twenty-two years ago)

I wonder if Ryan Adams will close his website when this thread reaches 2000(and more?)?

Although i'd much rather listen to Ryan Adams/Whiskeytown than Dave Matthews.

― Andy jay, Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:30 (twenty-two years ago)

this thread = googler flypaper

― Dave M. (rotten03), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

As mentioned above, we're still waiting for the link to the DMB site where this thread is posted/linked ... Allison, do you know of this?

― Barry Bruner (Barry Bruner), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 01:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Allison's still here! F'in excellent! All the other DMB defenders ('cept maybe Nag Pampa) came in, said "fuck you" and left, but she's the one who had the stones to stick around and make her case! At the risk of sounding either mushy or creepy or both: good to "see" you!

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 01:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Naga pampa even started some threads then just disappeared after a few weeks.

― TRUJUGGALO (latebloomer), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 04:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Not aware of any DMB sites with links to this thread, I was referred by a friend.

― Allison (Allison), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 11:10 (twenty-two years ago)

POINT OF ORDER: Dave Matthews Band is LIGHT-YEARS above Ryan Adams.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 13:06 (twenty-two years ago)

What's this new trend of misspelling homophobic slurs? It's faGGOT, people! If you must use it, at least spell it correctly.

maybe this guy was just trying to phonetically pronounce how typical DMB fans speak--kinda reminds me of an appalachian without proper dental care.....

i like the use of "FAGET"--maybe they pronounce it as if it were a french word....sorta like how people pronounce the discount store TARGET like "tar-jay"

― waxyjax (waxyjax), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Typical fans do NOT speak like that, thank you.

― Allison (Allison), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

That guy was an Insane Clown Posse fan, people! How soon we forget...

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:14 (twenty-two years ago)

if you say so...however, it's safe to say that most contestants on those reality dating shows--ie ELIMIdate, Dismissed, the 5th Wheel--are remniscent of the DMB fans i know, and they'd most likely site "Crash into Me" as they're #1 turn-me-on song.

― waxyjax (waxyjax), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:28 (twenty-two years ago)

Perhaps, but is it fair to assess worth based solely on their following?
