I feel bad for all of you. Especially the person who started this shitty, ball sucking thread. But also for those who contributed to this worthless jizz spot of a thread which this has amounted to be. Go get a life you jack asses, and stop irritating fans of good music. Enough Said.

"Go get a life you jack asses, and stop irritating fans of good music."

This, in a nutshell, would be my message to the Dave Matthews Band.

― John Justen (johnjusten), Saturday, 26 March 2005 05:02 (twenty-one years ago)

Haha!

Go T-bag your self.

― ddf, Saturday, 26 March 2005 22:31 (twenty-one years ago)

Not possible, I'm afraid. And god knows I've tried...

I have to say that I think my response was fairly well-mannered in response to a post that included such hugs-n-cuddles as "shitty, ball sucking" and "worthless jizz spot" in reference to the opinions of those above.

In contrast to my earlier nice-nice, my response to you is that perhaps you should go eat a bag of dicks. Which, I hear, is a more biologically plausible alternative.

Juvenalia can be fun! Who knew?

― John Justen (johnjusten), Saturday, 26 March 2005 23:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Who is Dave Matthews? Should I have heard of him? Have I spent too long hunting out obscure Albini bootlegs?

I'm not joking, btw.

You haven't missed much. He's a singer songwriter who brays like a donkey and fronts what sounds like a Spin Doctors cover band...only without the funk.

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Sunday, 27 March 2005 00:44 (twenty-one years ago)

"...only without the funk."

oh, i dunno.
the fans...i mean...they kinda, well, i'm sayin...
well, they got some sorta 'funk' goin on, right?

heh. right?

yeah.

Wow. It took 1977 posts, but someone finally nailed it better than hstencil's first response.

― Rick Massimo (Rick Massimo), Sunday, 27 March 2005 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Thanx. But hstencil should get credit for summing up the muppet-ness.

We should invite these guys at the bottom of the page to witness this thread reaching 2000

― Mr Woo, Friday, 1 April 2005 23:56 (twenty-one years ago)

This thread is historic, no? I haven't posted on it yet, so here's my contribution, pre-2k.

There's a good chance this has already been said in some form, so I'm risking an xpost (I'm not reading through 1,980 posts, sorry), but seriously, if you've heard enough music over the years, there's a good chance that you should know better than to consider them as one of your favorite bands. If you love DMB that much, you probably need to listen to more music. (How's that for elitist?) And if DMB happens to be your favorite band for life, then there is no hope for you, and you will never understand true listening enjoyment.

I'll admit that I think a few of their songs are really well written (I always liked "The Best Of What's Around" and "Dancing Nancies" is pretty cool) but seriously, who actually puts "Dave" in their CD player and listens to it, when there's literally thousands upon thousands of bands more worthy of their time?

Oh and also I saw them at Jones Beach in 1997 and it was the worst concert I've ever been to.

― billstevejim, Sunday, 3 April 2005 07:12 (twenty-one years ago)

Aha, I've just found the reference (about 1,700 posts above) to Travis and Ocean Colour Scene. I understand completely now....

― Si Carter (Si Carter), Sunday, 3 April 2005 09:57 (twenty-one years ago)

Dave USED to be better than a lot of stuff on the radio…in like 1994. Under the Table and dreaming was a good album. As far as I can tell after that it was downhill musically, as popularity got huge. I started to develope an intense dislike for him as I saw tons of people I had no respect for at college worship him. In my experience, it was all the cool interesting people who DID NOT like him, and all the sort of groupie/unoriginal people who DID. I know there are plenty of very intelligent people out there who like him, I know a few of them…but mostly, I think it’s his overwealming uncurious/unoriginal followers who just go with what the crowd thinks is popular and love him that turns me off big time. I used to have a stereoype (circa 1998) of people who liked him–it went something like this “Yeah, I drive a jetta, shop at Abercrombie and Fitch, Listen to DMB, Phish…

So there...Stupid Matthews! Stupid overal fan base....Big fat stupidness everywhere. People think for yourselves...take your asses to the barber shop. Tell the barber you're sick of looking like an asshole. Wesley Willis has more talent in one little finger.

― eedd, Friday, 8 April 2005 03:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Because thats what all the popular kids liked in highschool... and instead of going Columbine on them, I just vowed to hate DMB....

― Bryan Moore (Bryan Moore), Friday, 8 April 2005 06:08 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh, and the music sounds like the weather channel...boring ass shit meant to be playing in the background as newscasters talk, then go home, then listen to the same shit in their cars.

― Boards of Canada, Friday, 8 April 2005 14:42 (twenty-one years ago)

I can't even remember why I used to like these guys. something about ... perhaps ... maybe ... nope. nothing.

― lemin (lemin), Friday, 8 April 2005 14:54 (twenty-one years ago)

it's good to see so much real distaste for this tasteless band...

Dave sucks cock for a living!

― drainbrain, Friday, 8 April 2005 19:12 (twenty-one years ago)

here's the thing about indie kids: they suck. they like bands shirts more than the bands, and all the music they listen to sounds the same. a bunch of shaggy unemployables trying to sound as lo fi as possible, because all honest music sounds like it was recorded in a vacuum cleaner. it's not about music with indie kids. they don't like dave matthews because he's on the radio and people who aren't hip as them like them. i didn't go to the link, but i'm certain there isn't one legitimate musical argument there. they think they know a lot about music because they can name a lot of obscure bands. hipsters blow. now you've got me started on these fucks. great. i'll be angry the rest of the day now.

― labatt blue, Friday, 8 April 2005 19:43 (twenty-one years ago)

labatt blue, you can suck on my hairy balls...while you read this comment...so anyway, you have a point about the teeshirts and all that, why the hell do indie kids like that shit? actually it's fair to say some do. Any, allow me to let you know that Dave matthews Shits on people's faces just for fun! You could be next...you don't think that bus driver who dropped all that shit on people in the river really did it? NO...it was fucking Matthews...all because he thought they were some dumb asses who listened to his music...thinking, how are these mainstream assholes so damn stupid do be listening to my sorry ass over and over?

I hope you fart until your world is full of your own asshole smell

Dave matthews will CUM on your face and then you will lick it off!

― infestedterran, Friday, 8 April 2005 20:13 (twenty-one years ago)

who will score the coveted 2000th post?

― labatt blue, Friday, 8 April 2005 20:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Whoever does, I hope it involves Dave Matthews' plasma given that all his other bodily fluids have been given time.

Lemin, you're from Boulder. You get a free pass.

― jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 8 April 2005 20:34 (twenty-one years ago)

They bring shame to the church..they corrupt america's youth. They incourage mindless hippie sex. Dave should have his ballsac put on a chopping block and pounded with a sledge hammer, while all his pansy-ass fans with their white jock-ass baseball caps, low-IQ buisness middle management positions, preteen girls, circus monkey frat boys, ALPHA BETA LAMDA bullshit people sit back and stare at their lives passing before him, as his reproductive seed is smashed forever and ever...so that there will no longer be anyone to pass on his complete utter assholeness too. Fuck off and Die dave.

2000, like the year, comes not with a bang, but a whimper.

And not a trace of plasma, either.

Where was Allison? She should have had the 2000th post.

Will this thread ever reach 2500 or 3000?

DMB sucks......and you suck for liking them.

ok DMB fans, you really make asses of yourselves by generalizing the ungeneralizable....but you are easily generalized. You are assmunchers.
You like a retarded artist dedicated to buttsex and fingerbanging.

The landmark of 2000th post deserved something better like when it reached 1000. At least some cake and balloons.

― Robbie j, Saturday, 9 April 2005 04:38 (twenty-one years ago)

Why do I keep opening this thread?

was a question asked as far back as April 20, 2004.

My psyche has been permanently traumatized by Dom's repetitive photo bombardment.

I think I need a shrink.

lesseee here...

we already had the cookies...
Dune references
Star Wars references

hmmmm...
2000=time to post onto DMB forums to link and watch the ensuing battle for the universe?

or not.

― eedd, Saturday, 9 April 2005 23:56 (twenty-one years ago)

"Wesley Willis has more talent in one little finger." in reference to Mssrs. Matthews and band.

The amazing thing about this is that it's true. And Wesley's dead...but the statement is still rooted in undeniable fact.

Dear DMB fans. A dead schizophrenic has a lifeless appendage that is more talented than your favorite musician. Just thought you should know...

I keep hoping you will fight back, rather than disappearing into the ether. I can only assume you are too busy smoking your hacky-sacks, or whatever it is that neo-hippies do when they aren't out doing that orbit-in-a-circle dance or sticking Phish stickers over their fraternity logos on mom's Jetta.

Jerks.

I wish the internets would have explodered after RJG's posta 2000*. Because this thread sucks now. It was always stupid, but now it's damn fucking stupid, and not in a good way.

*(which was inspired genious and befitting of the 2000th post.)
