:that:
who the **** cares anyway? many of you guys listen to phish, but you don\'t hear me complaining.
-
Probably not going to do that.
I am just saying that I can see how the two bands end up getting grouped together, whether it\'s fair or not.
-
Well... I think they did tap that fanbase pretty successfully. I know lots and lots of people who list the two bands as their two favorites.
And I know a lot of people who are Dave friends who hate OAR. Go to http://www.antsmarching.org, sign up and make a thread about OAR. You won\'t last ten minutes. :lol:

yeah oar sucks.
-
they are basically a more pop version of DMB. personally, i cant stand them. when they came out a friend of mine who lived on my dormroom floor bought their cd and would play that **** poker song nonstop. the lyrics about i say ho you say hah or however it goes were so awful i had to leave the room anytime he put their cd on. damn, just talking about them got my blood boiling. its so sad to see bands with no talent make it to such great heights.
HAHAHA! I know the song, my ex (who was obsessed with poker and also has the WORST taste in music, fyi) use to play it all the time. I couldnt stand it. I had previously bought a cd of theirs and absolutely regret spending the money.

Tray, I no longer hate you since you saw the light once you heard phish. Also, you must like the chili peppers given the amount of gtb shows you see. :thumbsup:
Aw, thanks, Paul. I don\'t just like the chili peppers....i love them. they have been one of my favorite bands since middle school.:)

That\'s it, I hate you.

okay, that\'s it. no other random music confessions. okay, wait, one more....in 1998 i proclaimed my favorite band to be Third Eye Blind but i was quickly reformed in 1999 with my first Phish show.
i dont think i have any other skeletons in my music collection........

Nobody hate me. But I like this one song by O.A.R......called love and memories....

I am a huge Dave Matthews Band and please do not associate O.A.R. with them. I hate O.A.R. with a passion--and mostly big DMB fans agree with me. They tried to tap the DMB fanbase with the same style or whatever, but all they do is show how shitty they really are.

So I was flipping through the TV and I see OAR playing in an Arena w/ full production and also just realized a buddy of mine told me last week he was working an OAR show as a stagehand at SDSU\'s Open Air Theatre. It did not occur to me that they were Headliners for that gig. Now seeing this on the TV WTF??
When did this happen?
Is it just a midwest thing where they are huge? Anyone know? This is crazy to me.
i was thinking this was going to be a thread blasting OAR for being a shitty band. well, thats what i was hoping anyway. they do absolutely nothing for me and i have no idea what people see in them. rediculous...

I just noticed bOAR is playing with Augustana (wait.who?) and Stephen Kellogg (:wtf2:) and the Sixers at Jones Beach August 3rd.
Reserved 1: $38.50 Mezzanine: $29.50.
YIKES!!! :hscratch: :idunno: :poopself:
haven\'t seen Stephen Kellogg in years. didn\'t think he was still touring.
-
THANK GOD I don\'t even know their song\'s names!!
-
just heard, bOAR on SIRIUS 17. worst of al it was Crazy game poker, damn i though the 3 in the morning slot was reserved for the breakast. just be more frat houses and 15-year-old girls then we imagined. can\'t wait to finally see the breakfast live sometime after my months long hiatus.

Thing is you can\'t just order it in a bar because it is so far over the legal limit as far as ounces of booze per drink.
You could have at Tobacco Road! I had many "special mixes" there. God I miss that joint!
-
different alcohols and a totally illegal but pretty decent tasting drink.
This is essentially a Red Death.
You can order one at any bar, but much like Grateful Deads or anything else with a bunch of different liqours, your bartender may hate you and serve accordingly.
[/QUOTE]
Well, every red death I have had has tasted terrible. (I\'ve never ordered one, just tried other peoples\'.)
This drink actually tastes good, and not even very strong. Just quite sweet.

They have been playing the Oakdale for a few years now that I remember, think most have been sellouts or close too. Never understood how they got that big so quick.
see whomachers brilliant analysis.
face it, some folks don\'t care about talent when it comes to their music. they like catchy little jingles sung by big ****. the skill and capabilities of their favorite musicians is meaningless to them. they don\'t care who wrote the song, they don\'t even care if the little pop princess can actually perform the song live.
i wonder what it\'s like loving a band that has brilliant management?
My boyfriend made a drink recently which was a variation of a long island that was pretty good. A little sweet for me, but great for people who want a REALLY strong drink that is still sweet. It\'s called Booze in a Glass. Ha. It\'s basically all of the clear booze from a Long Island Iced Tea: vodka, tequila, rum, triple sec, gin. No cola or sweet & sour mix. Then you add SoCo, amaretto, sloe gin, and just a splash of OJ. Has to be served in a pint glass to work. 8 different alcohols and a totally illegal but pretty decent tasting drink.

As for OAR, it\'s simple pop music with choruses drunk people can easily learn and sing along with. That said, I\'m amazed they are not bigger.
I almost failed outta college because of Grateful Deads. Sooo tasty, so powerful...mmmmmm, I wish I was drinking one right now.

rotfl Yeah, peep her disc collection sometime! :duck:

I used to listen to OAR in college... I saw their show @ the Oakdale a few years ago, too! :duck:
::runs for cover, dodging tomatoes::
Figures. :P
Hahaha! Zing!
Barely...

Yeah that\'s a good point. Hadn\'t thought about that.
These days when kids who just turn 21 get booze, at least around here, they pretty much invariably get either a long island, a grateful dead, a cape codder, or a jack and coke.
Not that there\'s anything wrong with those drinks. It\'s just something I have noticed.
-
Doesn\'t every fully stocked bar serve Grateful Deads? If not, then their bartender is pretty terrible.
I don\'t like Grateful Deads at all... They are totally inconsistent, everyone makes them totally different. They don\'t taste that great; they\'re just strong. Heh... all of the bartenders I know tend to card ANYONE who orders a Grateful Dead... it seems to be the drink of kids who don\'t know anything about ordering mixed drinks. :P
But if you like \'em, so be it. :)

You have to remember I went to college from 1991-1996 They were not that common then. I had many many bartenders ask me what they were. I used to drink a lot more booze in those days compared to now. I haven\'t even thought of that drink in years until this thread
When I mentioned Smoke Stack Lightnin thats what made me think of them. Same place that had it in the jukebox made a killer grateful dead.

i like long islands better than grateful deads
-peaches incognito
I like both.
And hey ****-head...log out/ in button is at top of page...to the right. ;)
-
ya with oar i usually hear of people that love em, or people that hate em
i havent heard much of them, but to avoid getting rotten tomatoes thrown at me i\'ll say i hate em. and i like long islands better than grateful deads
-peaches incognito
-
I was first introduced to them right before PB\'s first Boston show years ago. Sooooo good!!!
-
i usually go with the help on the way>slipknot!>franklin\'s tower combo when i\'m at a bar that only plays creed\'s "can you take me higher" or other bands of that ilk all night. it really grinds those meatheads\' gears
It most definitley does.
I can\'t believe I haven\'t thought of this in sooo long but the bar that had Bear\'s Choice in the jukebox also served "Grateful Deads"
Have any of you ever had 1 ?
It is basically a Long Island Iced Tea with a splash of Chambord (sp? currant liquor). So good. 2 of those and you were off

Todd,
I have found the ultimate revenge song for anyone who plays long songs like this.
Grateful Dead - Bear\'s Choice - Smokestack Lightnin (almost 18 minutes long)
I used to to this at a Bar in Kingston RI whenever people played long annoying songs too much
Hahaha!! I\'ll have to see if they have that one. That would be great!!
-
Hahaha! We were just talking about them on our ride home from Boston. I couldn\'t believe that they played MSG. And I don\'t think it was just the theater. I don\'t care for them much.
when they came out a friend of mine who lived on my dormroom floor bought their cd and would play that **** poker song nonstop. the lyrics about i say ho you say hah or however it goes were so awful i had to leave the room anytime he put their cd on. damn, just talking about them got my blood boiling.
Someone at pool Monday nights plays this **** song every week. I\'m sooooo sick of it. And it goes on for like 17 gawd awful minutes. Repetitive as hell!
its so sad to see bands with no talent make it to such great heights.

my roommate at college freshman year played the poker song nonstop too. I honestly wanted to kill him. "How do people like this stuff?" I thought. It seems everyone has that story with this god-awful song. But hey, god bless em, they never did anything to me. I just think they\'re bad, bad, bad.

Answer:
Great grassroots & internet team
Brilliant Management, Promotion, Booking, etc...
Opened for Dave Matthews
Easily accessible music
Great, personable stage persona
I\'m personally not a fan - I lump them in with Dispatch as a half-assed college band, but, hey, Dispatch sold out MSG 3 nights in a row. Whatever.
I\'m heading back to CT next week to play some music and make some fat cash. Hope to see y\'all out there soon...
Peace,
Ian

very much like dave, college frat type music, and they are pretty big out here. I like a couple of there tunes, but not enough to go to a show.
My college "Frat" music was the Grateful Dead, Phish, Panic, Floyd, Zep etc etc etc etc.
but i get what you\'re saying

A Guy who I used to work with is very into them
They have done several shows at MSG as headliners. Not sure if it was the theatre or the Garden tho.
They do allow open taping I know that. I don\'t think I have ever listened to them tho.
My understanding is the fanbase is very much like dave matthew\'s
-
i saw them open for 311 a couple years ago...... not impressed
