The form defaults to a gender of female. Theres also a check box that you must be at least 13 years old. That\'s says alot about dmb.

the only good dmb= drunk monk bar. I used to like them when they first came out, but I can\'t stand the drunk teeniebop crowds.

I\'m not asking people to like them (I cetainly don\'t) just to vote this would be incredible exposure.

I am not a fan of the DMB and that is because of the fanbase. Its more about the party in the lot then the actual music. (actually sounds a little familiar)

I added it to the myspace blog and I will be sending it out with the event invites and bullentins I post this evening about Daniels Street on Saturday.

I was going to vote for the Bfast to open but think about it. How realistic is it? The Breakfast are not the kind of music a typical DMB fan would listen to and I gotta think that Dave is going to take that into consideration once he heard the guys.
Yeah The Bfast rip but they are waay to much for the DMB crowd.
Exposure would be decent for the most part but I think more of a waste of time than anything.

No not really. I am just realistic. 1st off when votes like this come up, The Bfast fanbase is waay to small to make noise(at least the ones that like to vote for this stuff).
The Bfast ARE too much for the DMB crowd(this is taken into consideration bigtime).
Besides alot of the DMB crowd could not even go to Bfast shows due to being under 18/21 so the thought of getting more fans is pretty useless.
Sure it would be fun for the guys to play on a big stage but that would be about it.
Vote to your heart\'s content though.

oh and if I am not clear enough on my stance,I was going to post about this yesterday as a joke and thought better of it.

Yeah because DMB fans really love Soulive, geesh.... This would be **** awesome for the guys. Who **** cares about DMB fans Leith, what you need to be thinking about is the incredible chunk of change that the boys would pull in. With money like that they could ter on the Left coast and make you one happy pappy. I say vote on!!!!

Soullive is ALOT easier on the ears of mainstream concert goers than The Bfast.
As for them using the $$ they would get to tour, that was funny.

I was dead serious Leith.

Me! · « **Reply #11 on:** January 20, 2006, 01:05:47 pm »

there\'s just no talking to you man....

I tell you what they\'d make a hell of alot more money than touring on their own

Overexjoesure · « **Reply #12 on:** January 20, 2006, 01:09:24 pm »

Exactly me!... Point is Ron and Jordan would have enough change in their pockets to quit their day job, but I guess the sensitive ears of pre-teens is more important than the pending success of Leith\'s favorite band...

You guys crack me up. Come on now. If I really thought this would happen I would be all over it. The fit is just not there.
Now forgive me for this but when TLG opened this past year for 2 big bands(Gov\'t Mule and Trey) the fit was tight. The audience was one that would be very receptive to their music and it has panned out w/ hundreds of people showing up for their shows in Colo. this month
I just don\'t see this as being a great fit is all. If it happens great but....
Also they won\'t make enough money to quit dayjobs unless they opened a few shows not on a one off.
Besides how will Tim fit it into his busy acoustic schedule?

But my point beign what harm is it gonna do to vote. none
