Uh Trey loves DMB.
So you all can eat a D.
this thread almost made me vomit.....and definitely came close to bringing me to tears......come on guys....leave dave alone. he\'s not nearly as bad as you\'re making him sound. and the band members are among some of the best i\'ve ever seen!! i mean carter?? boyd?? hello?? they\'re incredible hands down.....and they also have a hand in writing the music as well....it\'s not all dave. so....BACK OFF! I say that with love
I think people\'s irrational hate for DMB is hilarious. It\'s almost never predicated on the music, but instead on the generalization of the fanbase. I\'m sure most of the people on here who have declared their hatred have never been to a dave matthews band show or are familiar with their "headier" days. THe fact is they used to be great. The\'ve played with John Popper, PHish, Bela Fleck, Herbie Handcock, and several others. To this day Carter Beauford is still my favorite drummer and I will put Dave himself up there with any great lyracist. Without DMB I probably would have never gotten into PHish, Disco Biscuits, the Breakfast, etc...They were my "gateway band".
I\'ve probably only seen 3 or 4 shows since 2000 and on the whole I have not been moving in the same musical direction as they have lately, but that doesn\'t mean there wasn\'t a time they were my favorite band. I would dig up some of my old stuff and post it here, but it probably wouldn\'t be worth the effort for this crowd.
The obnoxious frat boys, drunken
****, and absurd ticket prices don\'t make it any easier for me to get out and see them these days, but under the right circumstances I would be excited to check them out again.
don\'t cry.
i\'ll try....lol....they\'re one of my favorite bands of all time, and they sure do get alot of
****. ESPECIALLY here. uuughh

LEAVE DAVE MATTHEWS ALONE!!!!!!
jim, remind me to slap you next time i see you....you little
****! again.....said with love

LEAVE DAVE MATTHEWS ALONE!!!!!!

who gives a ****?
Well seeing as it was TREY that took DMB out on tour w/ Phish back in the day. You all can thank him for DMB now.
So EAT A D PHISH KIDZ.
DMB kicked some major ass up until Crash. They then became very mediocre until about 2 years ago when they remembered how to jam.
Oh and Carter Beauford is one of the best drummers out there so they have that going for them.
I am actually very excited for the new album.
judging a band based on their fanbase is ignorant. when did it stop being about the music and the talent? i wonder what would happen to the breakfast if they were judged solely on their fanbase......now THATS a great topic starter
I guess I just equate DMB with Crash. and that
**** is just wayyyy to annoying for me to get past. I do not blindly enjoy everything that trey does/likes.

Oh please don\'t. really don\'t.
