I searched "Dave Matthews hate", and found this thread's parallel universe sibling:


Subject: RE: Dave Matthews Obsession
From: Dave is AMAZING
Date: 09-Oct-03
Message: ok, first of all, a lot of you people who are dave bashing all are hypocritical asses. Don't give me that crap about dave matthews being a racist and not having any talent. Why don't you get your damn facts straight before YOU start sounding IGNORANT...oh...wait...i think it's a little too late for that. Dave was born in south africa and like most of the normal people on this message board said....dave's music comes from the experience of hearing the music of south africa. and what's the crap about having all his "black" members stand behind him on stage...well..let me give you a little wake up call......go to a dave concert asses and take a look. he steps away and lets boyd (the guy on the electric fiddle) take the stage. So YET AGAIN you are WRONG. I am not going to bash marilyn manson or whatever music you listen to. What i am going to say is Dave is a brillian musician, and songwriter. Ever listen to his lyrics? they have so much MEANING to them....got that... M E A N I N G! So take a chance and listen to his music before you go and start with the dave hate.....cut the crap.

.. with relatively few grammar & spelling mistakes.

Alas, this thread shall never die when we are belssed by the likes of:
"go to a dave concert asses and take a look."

you forgot to include "faget" in there.

I suppose "AntiChrist Superstar", or whatever music I listen to, has no M E A N I N G .?

dave225 (Dave225), Thursday, 13 May 2004 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

HIPPIES RULE, DMB is awesome, you all that "hate" DMB are just jealous that he is a successful musician, and made something out of his life unlike you.

Ihatepeoplethataresorryforthemselves, Thursday, 13 May 2004 23:42 (twenty-two years ago)

I thought hippies were supposed to be all passive, peace-loving and non-judgemental! Wow...I'm so disillusioned now.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:09 (twenty-two years ago)

So wait if people hate on us by telling us that we hate DMB because we're jealous then that means that they're hating on us because they're jealous, right? They are convicted by their own logic, you are Colly Cibber and I claim my five pounds

Things I am Clearly Just Jealous of:

1) Dave Matthews Band
2) Sexually Transmitted Diseases
3) Pitchforkmedia (This one might actually be true)
4) The weather in Chicago
5) Jeff Probst
6) Middle English
7) The thieves that broke into my car and stole 10 recently purchased indie rock CDs with almost no resale value

dieblucasdie (dieblucasdie), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:36 (twenty-two years ago)

i think i do like ICP more than DMB.

i LOL'd @ this.

wait...nerver, neevren, noovren, nevren...
shit.

i hate hate.
where's my coffee?

eedd, Saturday, 15 May 2004 09:53 (twenty-two years ago)

everyone gets so caught up in being different that they stop liking music based on what appeals to them. If bands like kittie really tickled your fancy and you found the latest justin timberlake song really appealing, you may be hesitant to express your feelings about the song. I really hate when people are so insecure with themselves that they have to pretend to be some1 else to save their image. so in all honesty, are you saying that you hate dmb because you genuinley dislike his music, or just to be different from all the 'yuppies'.


HOWEVER- if you are looking for some songs to download, do these-
nething by ani defranco, creedence clearwater revival, led zepplin
taylor/rodeo clowns-jack johnson
i believe in a thing called love- the darkness
meant to live- switchfoot
so much to say- dmb
so good- better than ezra (FUCKMEYEAHTHATSAGOODBAND)

haha- those are like my favorite bands and i dont care if u love them or hate them- those bands are what i love to listen to

erin, Monday, 17 May 2004 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

Our musical tastes may not match, but our musical attitudes do. Yay Erin!

VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 17 May 2004 18:39 (twenty-two years ago)

OMG PLEEEEEASE tell me more about this band "The Darkness" has ne1 herd of them?

dieblucasdie (dieblucasdie), Monday, 17 May 2004 19:12 (twenty-two years ago)

"are you saying that you hate dmb because you genuinley dislike his music"

Yes, they are unexcusably bland and uninteresting to my ears.

latebloomer (latebloomer), Monday, 17 May 2004 19:25 (twenty-two years ago)

"Yes, they are unexcusably bland and uninteresting to my ears."

are u basing this on songs you have heard on the radio, or have you actually taken the time to listen to one of his cds?

'OMG PLEEEEEASE tell me more about this band "The Darkness"'

they are britsh. haha, the music videos are kinda sketchy but i heart their music. if you like them then also go for 'the dandy warhols' and rhcp... maybe even sublime

erin, Monday, 17 May 2004 20:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Erin, bless your incredibly trusting heart.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 May 2004 20:44 (twenty-two years ago)

ok, erin's complete, dewy-eyed faith in humankind has completely converted me. I'm going to go buy "Permission to Land" and "Remember Two Things" right now. Seriously.

dieblucasdie (dieblucasdie), Monday, 17 May 2004 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Be bold, sir.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 17 May 2004 21:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Trying again, I got halfway through Everyday and promptly fell asleep.

I can't get over how uninteresting they've become. I remember thinking there was at least something interesting there the first time I heard anything from Under the Table....

martin m. (mushrush), Monday, 17 May 2004 22:07 (twenty-two years ago)

o boy, you ppl are mean. im an optimist... kill me. you dont HAVE to like dmb! may i just add (at the risk of being ridiculed by dieblucasdue) that this thread should have never have lasted this long! some ppl like dmb, and others dont... MOVE ON TO SOMETHING A BIT MORE INTELLECTUALLY STIMULATING!!!

erin, Monday, 17 May 2004 22:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Now I'm just confused. You thought I was being nice when I was being mean, and being mean when I was being nice. Seriously, I applaud your optimism.

Dieblucasdie- i am not the most intuitive person and i have problems determining srcasm from sincerity thru tone of type!

erin, Monday, 17 May 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Erin asked:

Erin, I'm going to re-post a statement of mine from wa-hey back in 2003 (last June) that addresses your question:

Should it require more than a few CDs and singles to form an opinion of this band? If their readily available material (presumably the music the band felt most satisfied with to represent them) fails to create a favorable impression, why do you have such a seemingly damn hard time fathoming how -- for even a nanosecond -- that you may actually indeed be mistaken in your assertion that the DMB's music is anything other than bog-fucking-standard?

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 17 May 2004 22:22 (twenty-two years ago)

alex- o i am sry, i didnt read that! maybe because i havent been responding to one thread for almost a year now.

erin, Monday, 17 May 2004 22:29 (twenty-two years ago)

It's a dang long thread, Erin, no need for apologies. Moreover, you really shouldn't be taking any of this particularly seriously. I catch massive amounts of grief for much of the stuff like (well, one band in particular). Listen to what you like, and don't worry about it. I don't necessarily lament the DMB, just their idiotic fans who suggest that they re-invented the wheel.

Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 17 May 2004 22:44 (twenty-two years ago)

haha! thanks, you're right too. i love dmb but the ppl that "woo" really loudly when they hear their name really piss me off. BUT i do want to say that they do put on the best concert that i have ever seen. just imagine how cool it would have been if i had neting better than a lawn seat.


and because i have left like 20 messages today i feel like i need to explain. i am home alone and sick. i finished alphabetizing our refrigerator (achooo) and i started searching for dmb mp3s, this popped up.

erin, Monday, 17 May 2004 23:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Did you find this thread via google or a DMB message board?

ok. let's settle this once and for all. Dave matthews? he kicks ass. anyone who disagrees can shut up and go listen to some crappy music of their choosing. listen to crash, the whole album, straight through, and u'll understand why dmb kicks ass in every way. thank you for your cooperation.

That's the best improbable Olsen recommendation yet.

ferg (Ferg), Tuesday, 18 May 2004 02:46 (twenty-two years ago)

erin, idiots like drew are the reason this thread has gone on for so long. Most of us really don't care about Dave Matthews. For me, it's not that I absolutely hate him so much, I'm really not interested in their music .. it does nothing for me. But this thread is entertaining .. to see what kind of "logic" DMB fans are capable of.. (So far, not much - so congratulations for being a DMB fan who isn't a complete moron.)

Dave, being the philanthropist he is, should start sponsoring some English classes as his opening act. He really does have a lot of fans with poor writing skills.

I hear Mary-Kate's getting really into Jandek.

Is that what that's supposed to do? I think the world would be an infinetely finer place if Les Twins Olsen immersed themselves in Killing Joke and Devo.

One of them didn't look at all well on SNL the other night.

hehe- andrew goes to my school. we have known each other since the fourth grade. another thing to consider- i go to school in a really snobbish town in CT (as if CT doesnt imply snobbyness already), and most of the ppl really love dmb. 'crush' was the theme for the junior prom! so for ppl like andrew, its unfathomable that some1 out there DOESNT like dmb. he also flips out if u dislike led zepplin.

erin, Saturday, 22 May 2004 17:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, I like Led Zeppelin and I hate DMB, so he'll have to measure that one as he does. ;-)

Ned Raggett (Ned), Saturday, 22 May 2004 17:50 (twenty-two years ago)

ne1 got ne thoughts on jet? i am thinking about getting their cd and because i am the cheapest person in the world and spending $10 on something i wont like is crazy, i want some feedback to see if their album is ne good.

erin, Saturday, 22 May 2004 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)

i cannot image any dm fan being physically capable of hurting anyone but themselves.

dyson (dyson), Wednesday, 16 June 2004 18:22 (twenty-two years ago)

The DMB comments were the least funny out of all of them. For instance, from B&S -- The Boy With the Arab Strap:

If it turns out that he's a professional music critic (and if he owns this CD he almost certainly is), odds are that he's a bed-wetter and probably allergic to sex.
