IO - I'm becoming a HUGE Dave Matthews Band fan

[YBORCITY]

I saw them last weekend in Hartford CT and they were fantastic! I'm really liking the new album.

They are all so very talented musicians especially Carter (drummer), Tim Reynolds (guitar) and Dave himself. What a great time we had and though being "up there" in age as I am, I didn't feel way outta place.... don't forget like Carlos has said 40 is the new 30's.

may god have mercy on your soul

 

[VintagePunk]

I'm sorry.

 

[MsPurrl]

I like DMB, too!

 

[redhotswami]

 

[MsPurrl]

Yeah, well . . . I like Coldplay and the Killers, too. So there!

They are fantastic musicians. I'm not a big fan but I love a lot of their music. Songs like "Why I am" "Ants Marching" and "Satellite" are all fun and great songs. I saw a live video just the other day and they are getting loads of airplay on Sirius radio. I don't blame you for liking their music. elevated_u2_fan and VintagePunk, you can go live under a rock!


I'm kidding, I'm kidding!

 

[VintagePunk]

I was kidding too. Other than a handful of songs, they're not my thing, but I'm sure I listen to a lot of stuff others wouldn't like, either.

This new album has turned me into a pretty big fan as well.

 

[YBORCITY]

I thought I'd get a bigger (and worse reaction) I should have said either Coldplay or Kings of Leon

 

[lauramullen]

I love Dave Matthews Band. I always go and see them every summer

 

[iron yuppie]

I too am a fan, although I feel that they have really lost their way on the last two albums. Under the Table & Dreaming, however, will always be one of my favorite records.

 

[lauramullen]

I love the Crash album. That is probably may fav from them. I agree though, the last few albums have not been that great.

That's my favorite, too.

 

[YBORCITY]

I really thought I'd be flamed way worse than this!! I really like the first two albums also and I'm finding the new one to be excellent - worth checking out!!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I was kidding too.

I wasn't

 

[LemonMelon]

They're technically proficient, but it's hard for me to become a fan when my least favorite part of Dave Matthews Band is Dave Matthews.

 

[VintagePunk]

I wasn't

Way to play nicely and get along with others, elfa!

I actually watched a few DMB videos on You Tube last night because of this thread, and was reminded that Too Much and Tripping Billies are essentially the same song.

I don't think I've heard any of their new material since the late '90s.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I keep hearing someone else on the radio in stores or at the Dr's Office doing a cover of "Crash Into Me" and it's actually worse than the original - I didn't think this was possible.

I remember when that song came out, someone I know misheard the lyrics as "hike up your skirt you little boy, and show the world to me." They thought the song was very creepy. So, every time I hear it, that's what I hear now. Awesome.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

oh great, thanks, now I'm going to think that as well

 

[VintagePunk]

Well, it does add a whole new dimension to the song...

 

[YBORCITY]

[bono_212]

As if the song weren't creepy enough already.

 

[Galeongirl]

Soooooo, should I consider myself a happy person that I do not know any song by this band either? the other being the NKOTB.

I heard the name, but nothin' more than that!

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

do you live under a rock?

 

[Galeongirl]

Yeah, this huge rock called Europe.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

there are lots of people in Europe who know who DMB and NKOTB are

 

[lauramullen]

I mainly like going to see them live. They put on some great shows and put out some great cds of their shows.

do you live under a rock?

Did you follow orders?
