I'm listening to Live at Radio City right now, so I'm getting a kick etc.

Happy birthday, anodyne music guy.

Does Dave Matthews have some kind of paid high rotation deal with Pandora?


I swear to god, they put him on every channel, every other damned song.

...confused by headline...mouses over link...

Ahhhh... Bravo subby.

You just like sh^tty music.

Look, I like Dave a fair bit. Under the Table is one of my go to, nothing else I want to listen to albums...but, come on. In college, everyone, EVERYONE loved DMB and it seemed like I couldn't walk from one hallway to another without hearing them. I got burned out on them and could NOT listen to them for a good 3-4 years.

That said...I hear that when they did Happy Birthday at his party it took up about 3 hours.

Same here. 12 years later and I'm still burned out on DMB. You can't make a rock, folk, acoustic or even a farking country station without them throwing on one of his overly long, self indulgent jam sessions every other damned song.

My first guess was Snow.

Heyba, thanks.

Remember that time he pooped on his fans in Chicago? That was awesome.

No, I will NOT lick your boom-boom now, you hyperenchephalitic manchild with delusions of adequacy.

Look Dave, I'm really happy for you. Imma Let you finish. But Rusted Root is the best band at making English sound like Swahili of all time.

You can always tell the non-guitar fan. Too much music, too quickly, done too intricately, hurts their brain cell.
Now go listen to some rave or nice generic techno pop.

Sort of like how you can always tell the pretentious fanboy pricks?

"You don't like 'X' so you MUST be a stupid 'Y' fan."

Yeah, well, my favorite band doesn't exist yet.

PizzaJedi81: In college, everyone, EVERYONE loved DMB

Not everyone in college was a popped collar, hemp necklace wearing, douchebag. DMB has to be the soundtrack to the Derrick Comedy "Bro Rape" sketch.

Agreed.

\m/ FREEBIRD WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! \m/

I can't think of many songs I loathe more than Freebird, so I'll go do my beating off to something nice and subtle, if it's all the same to you.

Where's my Jethro Tull?

Sorry dweeb, try again.

FriarReb98: Blues Traveler

4th of July at Red Rocks, best concert I have ever been to. BT is, without a doubt, my favorite band.

I have mixed feelings about Dave.

On one hand, his lyrics tend embarrassingly bad and even his good songs were way way overplayed back when he was popular (the latter isn't his fault I realize)

On the other hand, his band has some of the best musicians on the planet and his live shows are fantastic (at least the ones I saw in the 90's were). I guess it balances out - I enjoy his music but I don't actively seek it out.

Seen Dave twice. Once headlining with Ben Harper, the other time playing sans band at a Farm Aid. I enjoyed him much better without his band. They just sounded too pop oriented for my taste.

Or maybe some people just don't like Dave Matthews Band. I've never understood how they got popular but it seems almost everyone else on the planet thinks they're great, so I'm stuck hearing them all the time.

Ooba Tooba: Seen Dave twice. Once headlining with Ben Harper, the other time playing sans band at a Farm Aid. I enjoyed him much better without his band. They just sounded too pop oriented for my taste.

Back when DMB first existed (I saw them on Horde, on a bill with BT and Big Head Todd, and OPENING for Rusted Root[!]), I always thought

B>DM (Band > Dave Matthews)

I never was a huge Dave fan, but THAT was the band I wanted behind me on stage.

Then they got all poppy and coked up.

CSB:
I was sitting outside Luciano's in Pittsburgh, down the street from the Palumbo Center, where DMB was going to open for Rusted Root that night. Luciano's was a bar/espresso shop with a sidewalk thing going on. My friend Pat, who I was there with, was talking some people I didn't know. I saw, walking from downtown, a very tall black man with a CBGB's shirt on. Boyd! I said hi as he approached. He recognized me from the Horde fest that summer. (I sometimes have a very memorable appearance, moreso back in those days.) We chatted for a moment, then he asked me if I had any smoke. I said no (the truth) but that Pat could hook him up. Pat didn't recognize Boyd, and just saw a big black guy on the streets of Pittsburgh, and did NOT hook him up. I was a little buzzed and didn't realize what was happening until too late, so this is not a CSB about getting high with Boyd. Dammit.

Later on, Dave came in and bought an espresso, and even then was a complete tool.

I'd rather have the Innocent Criminals backing me:) Too bad about Dave being a tool, maybe he was just having a bad day.

I saw Dave in concert at the Nissan Pavilion (*free tix, free ride, free beer and I still think I overpaid) and it was the perfect storm of vocal incomprehension; that place has CRAPPY acoustics and a FOH sound guy who is deaf.


/I'm sure it was a good concert if you like the his music.

How I feel when I'm drunk is correct?
Yes. Except the Dave Matthews Band does not rock.

*Reads headline*

I thought Bob Dylan was, like, 100 years old.

*Mouses over link*

Snerk.

See, for me it's Chili Peppers. Every god damn thing I listen to comes back to Chili Peppers... Even on my Lamb of God station!

I, too, thought this was going to be about Bill Cosby.

Vash's Apprentice: "Inna-Gadda-Da-Vida" it is!

Nice try, I'll give ya that!
Here ya go....

Happy Birthday, big guy!

Wait, what?

FreakinB: I'm ok with DMB here and there but I never understood the cult (which includes a couple of my friends). That said, I saw them at Bonnaroo a couple of years back and remember thinking that the drummer was really good.

Well, ya know it's hard to be tribbin' trabbin' trails for such a long, long, long, long, long, long time.

Not a huge DMB fan, but I enjoy his songs when they come through the shuffle. How horrible that someone has made a good living doing what he really enjoys. So much jealousy and sad on Fark.

I wonder what TMLO has to say about this. Probably something shiatty.

I'm so white, I've had allergic reactions to the sun, but apparently I'm not white enough to like Dave Matthews. His band is tight (credit where it's due), but I can't stand the songs or Dave Matthews' voice.

Gooble gobble gooble gobble...

I was going to guess Bjork.
