Dave Matthews Band : Name Your Reasons Why They Are So Bad & Hated.

hongro gets aggro

I played DMB at the gym the other week. And then I realized...I played them at the gym ten years ago. wow.

They came from my hometown, folks. I have a right to talk, etc.

Has your hometown expressed a public apology yet, I mean, like Canada did for Bryan Adams?

Hahahah.

How is this thread still going?

LeRoi Moore died. RIP

It's a good thing it wasn't Dave Matthews himself, as they'd have to change the name to just 'The Band', and I think that's already taken.

One of my fave songs of theirs has his sax all over it - "Lover Lay Down".

BBC news headline "Dave Matthews Band founder dies"

R.I.P.

Let's stop with the fetishization of the black musician, shall we?

yeah like they only have ONE...

which may have been your whole joke, and if it was I apologize, but really folks...I know DMB is our fave punching bag here and I'm okay with that but for god's sake someone died here. Let's give it a rest for a bit, eh?

I was more making fun of one of the original posters here who said something ridiculous and stupid about this guy. I agree, though - RIP.

I was never really a fan, BUT:

a) respect is due to an awesome musician
and
b) my GOD, "Two Step" is an awesome son, thanks in no small part to Moore's
sax riffs.

Rest in peace, sir.

awesome *SONG*, etc, etc.

Ants Marching, anyone?

"Two Step" is an awesome son

Kind of weird name though. A bit like Dzeewil, Moon Lit, Zowie and Fifi Trixibelle..... :)

Dweezil, I mean

This Willie Nelson cover pisses all over Matthews' horrible overblown original version.

Also it doesn't matter where you pause the video, you're guaranteed to capture Willie pulling any one of a number of LOL expressions.

overblown? that would seem to apply to those guitars far more than dave's acoustic version. i guess you're referring to the vocals? dave's version is a hell of a lot more expressive than willie, who seems to be having a conversation while making some funny faces. or were you giving him extra points for his iconicity and vocal tone?

willie's kinda like cassandra wilson here - interpretation that's worthwhile on its own terms but is only faintly expressive of the song itself

I just wanted to add that I read this whole damn post. Yay for me! Some funny shit, other than that band member's death. Anyway, I see it as my American Duty to revive this thread, to let freedom ring!

hahahahaha

Oh, on a side note: I have two dear friends who love DMB - and they both are lawyers. :-)

But that also means that I've been dragged to more DMB concerts than I care to admit
(OK, I admit - four). I'm not much of a concert-going person, but it's still strange to realize that nearly half of the concerts I've attended were those of the DMB. If you saw my record collection you'd understand. Anyway, carry on.

This thread needs to be open to random googlers

My Mom asked me if Dave Matthews was a member of Phish

"Not yet."

, has respect of fellow musicians like sting,peter gabriel, allanis,sheryl crow,Meredith Brooks,Counting Crows,Santana

hahahaha this is amazing

i was at 6/17/95 Three Little Birds

I was at Virginia Beach '97. During the jam, Mr. Moore was playing - or at least pretending to play - two saxophones at once.

most of those collaborations probably weren't very successful

my favourite post on ILM ever

alright.. i only read the first bunch of postings.. and i dont know why there are so many haters out there.. dave is a great guy and does alott of work for charities.. pardon the spelling haha.. i dont know where you get corporate rock band from.. since hes libral as hell.. his lyrics are great.. just get beyond everyday and gravedigger.. his so smooth on the guitar its not even funny.. everyone in the band has incredible talent.. and i dont know how you can say its bland music.. some of the greatest artists ever are bland.. for example.. and keep in mind i love the beatles.. but "we all live in a yellow submarineee yellow submarinee.. la la la" its very boring as well.. oh and about his voice.. very few people have the range that dave has.. and what kind of music does everyone here listen too??.. besides britney spears and john mayer of course..

this whole thread is a treat, it always brings a smile to my face.

I don't think i've knowingly ever heard a Dave Matthews Band song in my entire life. Or a Phish song.
I assume this means i'm pretty lucky?

But then Americans don't have to listen to Kasabian or The Enemy so its swings and roundabouts.

feel free to take the piss of the phrase swings and roundabouts
or indeed the phrase 'take the piss'

But then Americans don't have to listen to Kasabian

You'd be surprised. Kasabian made the rounds at American summer festivals a few years back and my ears were an unfortunate victim.
