Dave Mathews Band: Pure, unadulterated SHIT.

[rustoffa]

First off, I have a pretty diverse taste in music. Bluegrass, Punk, Metal, Country, Disco, Black Metal, Hard Rock, Easy listening...you name it.

The Dave Mathews band is another story. I don't even know their story...it sounds like Dexy's Midnight Runners...but not even happy. You remember that song "Come On Eileen?" That was not the Dave Mathews Band. No, The Dave Mathews Band performs music for worms. I'm not kidding....the only fucking life form I can think of that would like The Dave Mathews Band is worms.

They're segmented and shit....plus they probably don't have a stereo.

Fuck that atmospheric, violin-laden, dope and granola fodder. Is it cuntsidered Jam Band stuff? If it is, I'd suggest someone award every single member of the Dave Mathews Band the ultimate Jam Band nod.

You know what that is? It's a fucking filthy Birkenstock sandal Jammed' down the throat of the recipient.

Dave Mathews Band:
You produce nothing but soul-sucking drivel. Quit now. Take the royalties for every single song you've recorded and go quietly into that silent night. May ten million worms feast on your decaying skulls.

[Romeo Delight]

Yes, yes,and yes.

[Diamondjimi]

Frat rock horseshit !

Fucking boring tripe along with John Mayer , Jack Johnson ,David Gray
Widespread Panic and the likes..................

[Hardrock69]

Man they are in a league with Bloatie & The Hootfish....

Mindless fluff for the masses...soulless barf with no redeeming value....save as a flock of cash cows for the record labels...

How CAN I disagree with you, Rustoffa, when you're so obviously right on the fuckin' money?

The whole DMB thing exploded into my consciousness in about 1996, when they were seemingly suddenly out of nowhere being played on the radio nonstop, and I never got the appeal of it. DM doesn't have much of a voice to speak of, and the musicians he had playing with him obviously knew how to play their instruments, but it was like they learned one groove and proceeded to play it on every DMB song...

...around that same period I saw him perform on SNL, doing some odd jig while strumming away with a smug, self-satisfied smirk on his face...

...He IS right up there with Hootie, agreed. I never liked "jam band " shit to begin with. Only Dead stuff I liked was Amercian Beauty and Workingman's Dead, where they actually focused on songs. Phish I couldn't give a shit about, and DMB I'll just call jam band-lite.

Fuck 'em.

They are what happens when aspiring guitarists name Paul Simon as an inspiration.

Ain't it a bitch ?!

[Big Fat Sammy]

Stellar post Stoffa.

Dave Mathews beyond sucks. Whiny voiced fucker. I'd like to kick him in the teeth.

[Big Fat Sammy]

A friend of mine said that her guitar instructor (who is a college professor BTW) said that DM is the greatest rhythm guitarist of all time.

I told her I wouldn't know because I've never heard his guitar plugged in. :p

In myers defence he admits his popular music is kinda shit. He has stated that his music is what it is because he wants to make some money. THAT is still a shit attitude, but at leat he KNOWS its tripe. MAyer is a damn good guitar player frow what ive heard.

Cause I don't give a shit about DMB I preffer to post this photo of the Pirate of the Caribbean girl

He absolutely is. I saw him with my daughter...she really wanted to go. He played this real sweet love song called "Come Back to Bed". Great tune.

Anyway...right in the middle of it, he busts into Little Wing. I shit you not! He had a great jam going for some time before he went back to his tune.

I don't like a lot of what I heard that night. very top 40...very DMB-ish.

But, the kid can play guitar amazingly. I would LOVE to see him put out an instrumental album.

His voice is a little too pussy-ish for me.

[Golden AWe]

The funny thing is, Bob Dylan f.e. probably isn't more technical or talented if you talk about guitar-playing only, but they're million miles away from each other.

There's no any kind of catch in DMB:s songs, the lyrics are fucking dumb and the whole set is nothing but a big bore.
