I am speechless, have you actually listened to them, whether or not you like their music, the musicianship is top notch

[FenderKid87]

I'll be at the Gorge the whole weekend! I guess the free CD is cool, I probably would have bought it anyways though....

[JHahN]

Yea these guys put on one of the best shows I've ever seen. I went to Alpine Valley to seem them for the first time and was not a fan. After seeing them live it completely changed my mind. Very talented musicians.

Not really all that true. When I started playing guitar, Dave was my first idol and I learned every song they have and if it werent for his crazy fingerings and rhythms, not to mention singing at the same time, I definately wouldn't be the musician I am today. I don't listen to them all that much anymore, but they are as good as it gets live.

checked.

That was a South Park joke about Jimmy Buffett. But anyone who says DMB is bad music really needs to broaden their horizons musically. These guys are all very talented in their respective instrument and add in Matthews's lyrics.

'sif. I don't even know what a frat boy is. I love DMB, and I know a ton of people who do that don't fit your description.

On topic, I saw DMB last year. I was sorta disappointed. I live in Australia, and the venue they played had awful sound, it was way too quiet, and we were near the back and we couldn't even see really. They needed screens or something.

But Carter is awesome on drums. It made my night just to see him.

[pratt121]

It's not that I find Dave or his bandmates to not be good musicians, or that I don't like their music...

ITS JUST SO PLAYED OUT AROUND HERE. I'm a college kid and everyone listens to DMB, OAR, and Lil Wayne, basically exclusively. I want to stab my ears.

Proof that even the best music can piss you off to no end just because you're tired of hearing it.

[Claude Balstein]

I cant stand DMB because I goto college and every single frat guy and sorority girl get off to the band. Them and Jack Johnson, OAR, and Jimmy Buffet. Way to conform greek life.

[TheNERD250]

I really think that the Dave Mathews Band is like jazz: great talent behind the instruments, but gets boring after 10 minutes

[Boo Cow Ski]

why dont some of you haters sit down, listen to THE MUSIC, and stop worrying what TYPE OF PEOPLE listen to it as well. THINK FOR YOUR F***ING SELF. "Oh i cant like this band because frat boys and drunk white girls love it. I diss on those type of people yet dont realize I conform to the saddest type of subjective listener, a 'what-do-people-who-most-resemble-me-listen-to' listener. The music doesnt matter. I just wanna make sure im a perfect carbon copy of the people who attend the concerts of the bands I like. F***ing robots.

o ya delete truthful posts but leave moronic devolutionized fodder up on the board.
