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

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!!!!!

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.

Obviously they are doing something right because they make money, and lots of it.

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

ugh...

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.

haha, because a little birdie has told me that DM has a thing for golden showers...

No it's not.

It's VERY scary.

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.

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.

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?

― Allison (Allison), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Typical fans do NOT speak like that, thank you

I don't know whether that's true .. but if the typical DMB fan that posts here were more like Allison, this thread would have died a year ago. (That's a compliment...) Glad you're back, Allison..

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:38 (twenty-two years ago)

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

It isn't fair but it happens to everyone (see for example any thread on The Cure).

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Assuming you're referring to the agnostic label of The Cure fans, simply listening to them would dismiss that false classification. Should be the same with DMB, no?

― Allison (Allison), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:52 (twenty-two years ago)

no, not at all. in fact i have a few close friends from high school who really love Dave Matthews--and i tease them all the time about it (but it's all in good fun). back when i had no idea who he was, one of them took me to his concert for free. though i was among good company, all i could do was count down the minutes as the show droned on--although his fans find his marathon sets to be one of his greatest assets, i found it to be incredibly torturous...in fact, if i had to choose between having to stand around listening to a live performance of DMB for 3 hours while being surrounded by SUV-driving yuppies, truck-driving jocks, sorority girls and upper middle class hippies VS. being stuck in a developing country for two weeks while suffering sever dhiarrhea, i'd go for the bowel trip anyday.

in any event, an artist's following shouldn't dictate their worth. it just so happens that, in addition to the fact that i find his music annoying, the majority of his fan-base offers loads of comic material for those who find culturally homogenous, surban-america amusing.

by the way, i was responding to this post:

It should be, but there's an implicit assumption that anyone who hears DMB will like them which is just false.

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

The fact remains: Dave Matthews' music is DULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:06 (twenty-two years ago)

(hee hee that's an opinion)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:08 (twenty-two years ago)

(gotta keep the thread going!)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 11 May 2004 15:09 (twenty-two years ago)

Is being dull worse than being bad? Just wondering what the difinitive ILM opinion is on this. I'd rather listen to bad than dull...
