Too late, J0hn...I already inducted her into freakdom back on the 19th.
I think Allison should become an ILX regular. -- Jon Williams, June 19th, 2003 2:30 AM.

aww, shucks.

Let It Be Known that Jeremy "Kingfish" Salmon officially made his comment in the Almighty DMB Thread whilst wasting time at work on the 1st day of July in the Most Foul Year of Our Lord 2003.

in other news, as has probably been mentioned previously--one's opinion of DMB is slightly different if one was a university student in the mid-late 90's. Then, you'd have EVEN MORE reason to hate him, cuz of those two fucks on yer dorm floor who'd play the record over and over and OVER AND FUCKING OVER AGAIN...

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 1 July 2003 16:46 (twenty-three years ago)

you dumbnuts. Dave Matthews Band are the most talented group out there from the last 20 years. Most of you havent heard an entire album or seen them in concert. So what if some fans use dmb as make out music. At least some of us can get chicks!

"hike up your dress a little more/ and show your world to me:" is a funny line. dont you guys like humor in your music? do you have to really take music so seriously? its only music. I like music as much as the next guy but why do you hate a band so much. At least they play their instruments and write their own songs. Unlike those Pop idol 'artists'.
As for yuppies /lawyers/accountants liking them so what? Is that a reason to hate a band?
Why not hate the overhyped Nirvana, the WORST thing to ever happen to music. They were rubbish at their instruments, Kurt couldnt sing , He was a junkie. They spawned a million of horrible 'indie & alternative' bands meaning an entire generation missed out on bands whoc ould actually play!

― George T, Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Do you need a hug, George?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 8 July 2003 14:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Dave Matthews Band are the most talented group out there from the last 20 years

I'm trying to figure out what group came out in 1983 that was more talented than DMB. I'm hoping it was Kajagoogoo.

"Why not hate the overhyped Nirvana, the WORST thing to ever happen to music. They were rubbish at their instruments, Kurt couldnt sing , He was a junkie. They spawned a million of horrible 'indie & alternative' bands meaning an entire generation missed out on bands who could actually play! "

Haha since when did being able to sing or play instruments matter? Give me Nirvana over DMB,Creed, Limp Bizkit et al any day.

Dan, maybe he meant Wham?

― Sammy James, Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:18 (twenty-two years ago)

And why did it say '7 new answers' when there was only 3?
Has Dave Matthews Band broke ILX?

― Sammy James, Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:20 (twenty-two years ago)

...an entire generation missed out on bands who could actually play!

PLEASE COME BACK YNGWIE ALL IS FORGIVEN!

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Posts like George T's only give me the feeling of sweet, downy-soft, comfy vindication.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:23 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread is awesome. It's like the Highlander, never going to die until Sean Connery comes along to lop its head off.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:24 (twenty-two years ago)

As long as google lives so will this thread.

― Sammy James, Tuesday, 8 July 2003 15:27 (twenty-two years ago)

i hate DMB because of their rabid fans. when people become violent over a band they are not fans, they are clones. i like music because of the way it touches me, not cuz you and all the rest of your pot smoking abercrombie wearing friends like it.

― kers3480, Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:33 (twenty-two years ago)

"As for yuppies /lawyers/accountants liking them so what? Is that a reason to hate a band?"

These same people like Huey Lewis.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I wish googlers would start their own thread: "Why DMB must be defended." Because THIS thread is about hating DMB, NOT about why [you/we] like/should like them.

We shouldn't have to have *good* reasons for hating them - just *many* reasons.

(come on 1000!)

― dave225 (Dave225), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Where is Allison again?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 16:56 (twenty-two years ago)

PLEASE COME BACK YNGWIE ALL IS FORGIVEN!

RELEASE THE F*CKING FURY (again)!

― J (Jay), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

Smart move J, using the asterisk to prevent this thread from being Googled!

― Siegbran (eofor), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

and seriously, he didn't have to go along with that oakenfield/matrix piece of shit.

― Felcher (Felcher), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I try.

― J (Jay), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

My roomates work for our university's computer service and last summer they had to key into every single dorm room on campus for computer maintinence. They reported back that an estimated 8 out of 10 dorm rooms have a DMB poster on the wall. The next closest was, somewhat surprisingly, Scarface.

― ben welsh (benwelsh), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 22:25 (twenty-two years ago)

haha - that's a portrait of young america

― James Blount (James Blount), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 22:33 (twenty-two years ago)

=\ this hurts...

― Allison (Allison), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 23:08 (twenty-two years ago)

George, I hate to oppose someone who is "on my side", but really..DMB ISN'T the most talented band in the past 20 years and you saying so only helps to confirm their beliefs that all their fans are narrow-minded college kids that have very low musical standards.
Please don't encourage the regulars...they're blood-sucking fiends, the lot of them!

― Allison (Allison), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 23:40 (twenty-two years ago)

Please don't encourage the regulars...they're blood-sucking fiends, the lot of them!

Just because you're a regular now doesn't mean you're allowed to give away our vampiric secrets.

― J (Jay), Tuesday, 8 July 2003 23:58 (twenty-two years ago)

is it time for another bongo solo yet?

Hey, that's from the extended mix of the Bangles' "Hazy Shade Of Winter" cover!

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 17:59 (twenty-two years ago)

did you say bong solo?
that'd be better.

― eedd, Wednesday, 9 July 2003 18:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Yngwie Malmsteen > Nirvana

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Wednesday, 9 July 2003 18:04 (twenty-two years ago)

OK I am not having the best day of all time and Siegbran's bongo solo just cheered me up somethin' first. Hails to you, S. Now if only somebody would post a picture of that dwarf from Abruptum, preferably photoshopped so he's jammin' with the DMB, my mood power-up will be complete.

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:45 (twenty-two years ago)

J0hn, would you care for some fan art, instead?

KINGFISH, YOU ARE THE MAN

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Because THIS thread is about hating DMB, NOT about why [you/we] like/should like them.

The funny thing is, this thread didn't even start as a "Let's bash DMB" thread -- it was "Let's try to figure out WHY people hate DMB."

― jaymc (jaymc), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 20:03 (twenty-two years ago)

and now we know that the answer is "Because they rufuse to let It from Abruptum, the black metal dwarf, take over Bez duties for them"

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 20:04 (twenty-two years ago)

And after nearly 950 posts we're none the wiser!
I live in England and I have never heard DMB at all.

― Rocky, Wednesday, 9 July 2003 20:06 (twenty-two years ago)

And after nearly 950 posts we're none the wiser!

not necessarily. for example, this truism has been finely articulated:

Anyone who calls your genitals "a world" is clearly a creep and pig and will never go down on you unless under extreme duress...

indeed.

and here's a related truism: one of the unpublished & indirect side effects of Paxil is that it makes your jaw ache.

― Kingfish (Kingfish), Wednesday, 9 July 2003 20:32 (twenty-two years ago)

::yawn:: c'mon..I'm feeling fiesty. Gimme a reason to be mean!

What?? Say somethin', bitch!

― Allison (Allison), Thursday, 10 July 2003 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I mock your value system!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:04 (twenty-two years ago)

OPENLY!

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 10 July 2003 07:10 (twenty-two years ago)

-woah-

d00d, that was uber-harsh...

damn...

this thread needs even more bongos

― Siegbran (eofor), Thursday, 10 July 2003 20:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Is there a prize for the person who makes the 1000th post?

― Marriot, Friday, 11 July 2003 10:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, you are no longer obligated to pay attention to this thread.

― NA. (Nick A.), Friday, 11 July 2003 11:47 (twenty-two years ago)

Until it gets near 2000 after Google has this thread as its number 1 link when searching for 'Dave Matthews band'.
