Dave Matthews Band...

[Yoli]

Alrite had to be done...

This has been and probably will be my favorite band to come. Their music takes me away to a place without cares or worries. The one of the best group of musicians to be put together, each with immense talent and creativity to create their unique sound.

[ArtNerdGirly]

Oh.. it was only a matter of time...

[cold_kitty]

i really don't like dmb! i don't know why! my sister is completely obsessed, she's got ever single, album, etc... i just can't get into their songs like i can with coldplay!

[Yoli]

i really don't like dmb! i don't know why! my sister is completely obsessed, she's got ever single, album, etc... i just can't get into their songs like i can with coldplay!

ever heard their live stuff?? most people get converted after the live stuff and after a concert cause the experience is amazing

[bozo]

DMB was my favorite band until Coldplay came along. I think I've seen DMB 11 times now.. maybe 13.. I can't remember.

Great band.. great musicians... the people who say they don't like them usually are the ones who haven't given them a chance yet.

Crash is one of the best albums ever..

[Chrissy]

ok everyone is going on and on about dmb, so i guess i HAVE to check it out know. maybe i'll find a new religion

[Sarahjane98]

:-D

[DaveFer]

I have all the DMB albums, (and are like 13 or so) thye are the best live band ever, my favorite songs are

- typical situation
- satellite
- the best of what's around
- One sweet world
- Tripping Billies
- Crush
- Busted Stuff
- So much to say
- #41
- Jimi thing
- Dreams of our fathers

and many many more

[walkingcontradiction]

"i am no superman
i have no answers for you
i am no hero, thats for sure
but i do know one thing
its where you are
its where i belong"

DMB! DMB! it sucks that i live in malaysia and will nv be able to see them play live.. coldplay came down to asia only to go to singapore .. *sob sob*

whats everyone's fav. dmb song btw?

[Jacob]

My fave song is either Crash Into Me, or The Space Between.

And Everyday is my favorite cd by them.

[cold_kitty]

i really don't like DMB at all. maybe it's because my sister is completely obsessed with them. i respect them as a band and stuff, but their music does nothing for me.

i'm listening to "route 2" right now. i'm really not feeling it. lol. i'm weird.

[Professor Peedston]

i used to like them a whole lot... "before these crowded streets" is my favorite album of theirs. so let's just say all of those songs are my favorite.

[Naughtyfig]

I fav. song his CRASH... :)

[Jacob]

GRACE IS GONE is the saddest song off Busted Stuff, still great.

"Excuse me please
one more drink
could you make it stronger
cuz I don't need to think
she broke my heart
my grace is gone
another drink and I'll move on."

[Sweet One]

I like Crash or Crash into me, i never know the name, but that song is great.... but other than that, i'm not really a DMB fan.. :roll:

[Majson]

oh dear, ho dear..if the guys back on anyoneseenthebridge saw this thread.... :o

Fave Dave MAtthews songs....hmmm

Gravedigger
Bartender
Grace is gone
You never know
Halloween
Rhyme and reason
Pig
The Stone
Dancing Nancies
Stay or leave

and plenty more

Before these crowded streets being my fave album, closely followed by under the table and dreaming

[CityandColour]

favorite DMB song:
CRUSH

[Jacob]

I heard this song on the radio where it was The Blueman Group collaberating with Dave Matthews. The sone was pretty catchy!

My favorite album by the Dave Matthews Band is Busted Stuff, and my favorite song is either The Space Between, or Grace Is Gone.

[el_scorcho]

I love The Space Between, but I don't think Dave Matthews is that wonderful.

[bozo]

Yeah if you aren't a DMB fan then it's hard to convert to one. Most people hate DMB even if they've never given them a fair listen just because of the stereotypes around the band. I can completely understand, but if you give dmb a good listen, you might be surprised if you think you wouldn't like them. They really have something for everybody. I good album to start on might be Crash since it's the most commercial, and well really damn good. I'd also recommend Under the Table and Dreaming.

[CityandColour]

i like a few of there songs, my favorite DMB song is Crush by far though.

[cold_kitty]

i've got to be honest, DMB really doesn't move me at all. but my sister owns every album they have ever put out.

[coldengrey]

Well, I guess not many Coldplay fans are also Daveheads.

My love for DMB began in 1996, when I was 13. Their music helped get me through... um, let's just say a really bad time in my life. So, largely cos of that, DMB was, and remains, very important to me.

I came of age with DMB playing in the background. My first (seven) concerts featured Dave Matthews (with and w/o the band). I ditched my closest friends and started over when I was 16, partly cos of an incident that involved DMB (don't worry, it wasn't only about the band). I took drama cos Dave used to act, even though I have major stage-fright, and I eventually got into advanced drama. My high school graduation was outshone by meeting Dave himself. I got into David Gray cos he was on ATO Records. Everyone who knew me, knew me as the Dave Matthews girl. That's what people remember about me. And I wouldn't change it.

Even Chris Martin said something like it's great that DMB is huge in America. I forget why, cos they're passionate or something. Y'know, he always seems to be going on about passion in music.

I should shut up now and go listen to Seek Up.

[Jacob]

wow, u r a true fan.

I find that Dave Matthew's stuff is relaxing rock music. Something that is hard to composse. Busted Stuff features it most.

I'm trying to decide whether I should get Everyday or not. Was that a good cd?

[bozo]

Everday seems to be the less DMB "sounding" album they have.. it's the least like the others....
It's got some good stuff on it, but if you want something that is "typcial" sounding of DMB, I'd get something else.

[Jacob]

alrite, thanx! I guess I'll buy Crash then.

Yea, people have told me Everyday is more of a harder rock cd, not really something the Dave Matthews Band would be good at. Dave Matthews is better at softer rock. The Space Between though is a great song from it.

[Majson]

wheee..

im' all hyped.

I managed to download the full on 60mbs gravedigger video the other day. Having heard the song a dozen or more times live (and may i add loving it) the full band version is so amazing. So much more rocky, not what i thought it would be because of all the word with the dave matthews band, but this solo project of his seems to have given him a slightly more rockier, and then creative vibe, which i hope will rub off on the enxt album the entire band do together.

but the video is amazingly sad at times, and the song is fucking ace.

And plus i'm obsessed with my hero..so i thought i'd do a new thread.

[coldengrey]

12+ times you've heard Gravedigger live? *turns green from envy* I haven't heard it live once yet. :cry:

[Majson]

i meant downloads..i've never had the experience of seeing dave live..i'm in the uk..if he ever tours here..i'll go to his shows. without a doubt

[CityandColour]

i like Dave Matthews a little, not very much but i do however LOVE Crush

[Majson]

Crush is very good.

he's my fave artist/singer/songwriter/band of all time for me :)

i'm having the album importated for my birthday

[CityandColour]

:wink3: ;)

[coldengrey]

i meant downloads..i've never had the experience of seeing dave live..i'm in the uk..if he ever tours here..i'll go to his shows. without a doubt

Oh, bummer. :( Dave was in the UK in 2001... maybe he'll make his way back soon. :)

[Majson]

i know he was in the uk 2001. The last show he did was in november, i'd only discovered him late august and hadn't quite become amazingly obsessed....come january that was it.

[sarah**]

Sing Along

I like this song

[Majson]

indeed, off the complex album, very different and catchy...i like the video, the video makes me smile.

will you see i'm as insecure as anybody else?

[Majson]

picked up the cd in virgin today for £9.99..for a nrew release that's damned good, i didn't import it in the end as i was told it would be released here..wheee

*awaits a dvd release of gorge '02 or Central park '03*

[gvargas]

Why did he go solo?

[Majson]

wel it's just a tangent according to him, some songs and ideas he wanted to go about using without the influence of the band. He hassaid he'd be stupid to quit, as he is good friends with the band memembers and is still very much enjoying playing together with them

so i guess it was just cos he felt like a change, and going to do another band album next year

[gvargas]

yeah cause one reason i liked the band was because of their music- different instruments

[coldengrey]

I like Dave better solo.

:o Blasphemy! *is struck down by a bolt of lightening* :dead:

[gvargas]

whaaaaaaaaaaaa?????? :stunned:

[etffect]

yea..great track.

[CityandColour]

What the fuck?

[SevenMinarets]

So I'm new here, just trying to get a feel for the community. Who here is a fan of the DMB? I absolutely love them. What is your favorite song?

I would have to go with #41.

[Rain]

YES!
I love Dave Matthews Band. Its hard to say which song would be my favorite.

I like Two Step and Dancing Nancies because they are sad and happy in the same song. I dunno, I love all of their songs :D

[CityandColour]

I like a few DMB songs... Crush, the Space Between, Everyday, Satellite, and another I can't remember the name of....

[Professor Peedston]

i really love "Before These Crowded Streets." there's something that album has that the rest of them don't, but i can't put my finger on what it is... and i don't know a single other person who feels that way about them. anyway, i've found the rest of their stuff to be about average, although there are standouts.

[Kohlman003]

I don't like DMB. I really hate listening to Dave Matthews voice it sounds whiney.

[SevenMinarets]

I don't like DMB. I really hate listening to Dave Matthews voice it sounds whiney.

Not putting your opinion down because I respect it, but don't you think Chris Martin's voice is whiney too? Don't get me wrong I love his voice as well as Matthews' but I think Martin's voice could be considered more "whiney" than Dave's. Oh well, just a thought.

Exactly what I thought when I read that.

Yea I know what you mean. That album (BTCS) has a lot of flow, what I mean is it seems to flow from one song to the next. I also get a classic feel when I listen to it, maybe because of Halloween's outro and the intro to The Stone.

I'd have to say my favorite album though would be Crash. And if we aren't talking official then I would say their best work was in the Lillywhite Sessions. The captain in LWS is amazing.

that was just an example of why i don't like DMB. I just can't get into the music as much as i can get into other bands like coldplay. Maybe whiney wasn't the right word, but there is something i don't like about it his voice.

[jocole37]

dmb is pretty good, i also like his last solo album "some devil".

[SevenMinarets]

dmb is pretty good, i also like his last solo album "some devil".

Yea the solo album was pretty sweet. The real treat in that is actually seeing Dave's solo tour. I was at 12.12.03 Penn State. Seeing him, Trey from Phish and Tim Reynolds is quite the show. So far in the tour they have covered classics like Up On Cripple Creek, American Tune, Hey Bulldog, Fool In The Rain, Oh Sister, Tell Me Something Good, and so on.

[LiquidSky]

[Majson]

hmm...i wonder if you're on a dave board...minarets. nancies?the bridge? ants?

dave boards are quite harsh, they all think they're the brightest person their and that their opinion counts..of course only mine does :p

Love dave...BTCS is perhaps the ebst album, because it was the combination of previous efforts, with an added energy, and a side serving of depressive slants mixind with melodies and good fun and voila...a great album. Lyrically wonderful, musically ecclectic. love it

fave song..hmm...depends on my mood.

sometimes Dancing nancies (central park n red rocks have great versions but not sure if it betters tyhe studio version) erm, ants marching i love (live) erm..proudest monkey, bartender, crush, drive in and drive out, minarets (acoustic only though) etc

as i said..it depends

[CityandColour]

I don't like DMB. I really hate listening to Dave Matthews voice it sounds whiney.

Chris Martin's voice is 10 millions more whiney then Dave Matthew's voice is. Hell, his voice isn't whiney. How the hell do you figure that?

Yes actually I am on Antsmarching.org frequently. I'll admit that there are a lot of idiots on dave boards but in its defense, more the people, more of a chance for the occasional asshole.(know what I mean?) I mean Antsmarching.org is going on almost 50,000 members.

But anyways, yea I agree with your BTCS description. But I still love the feel of Crash and UTTAD. You have Central Park? It is amazing, I wish I could have been there. Oh well, if your interested they are thinking about doing a DMB 3 day festival this spring. I think I'll be attending that, although the date and location are not yet set.

[SevenMinarets]

"You got me wrapped around your finger..."
:lol: That is going pretty far back.

Yea, I was just reflecting on an oldie. :lol: I remember that song being played over and over back in the day.

[Majson]

i know about the 3 day festival my friend...i am somewhat obsessed, never seen them, chances are very slim as they havent been to my coutnry since 2001, just after i started liking them but before i got obsessed.

damn them..well it was only Dave at the time

[Professor Peedston]

it's a completely different story on this side of the atlantic... it's almost hard NOT to have seen them by now. :lol:

[mousewings]

I like a few DMB songs (Gray Street, Big Eyed Fish) and like their music. They're not one of my favorites though.

[SevenMinarets]

it's a completely different story on this side of the atlantic... it's almost hard NOT to have seen them by now. :lol:

Tom are you a member of Antsmarching.org?

And yes it is hard to see them here on the East Coast. I live VA and have seen them 5 (1 Dave and Friends), yes I may be spoiled. But, will I stop going? Hell no. :D

Is this supposed to be one of my quotes? :sneaky:

Yea, I was just reflecting on an oldie. :lol: I remember that song being played over and over back in the day.

yeah....it's been on my head for about......3 days now... :stunned: :smug:

It's def. one of those songs that can get stuck in your head for a month at a time.

[Rain]

ants marching i love (live)

Ya, I heard a live version, it was awesome when he let the audience sing part.

I like a few DMB songs (Gray Street, Big Eyed Fish) and like their music. They're not one of my favorites though.

Well, you really have to hear more of their music, much like coldplay, without going and downloading or buying more of their music, you've only hit the tip of the iceberg. I don't think there's is one DMB song I don't like.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

yes
only for originality
i dont like them but they are original

Spot on, only the tip of the iceberg. If you want to hear more than I suggest #41, Two Step, Halloween, Seek Up, Dancing Nancies, Captain, JTR, Bartender, You Never Know (crazy music wise).

[Professor Peedston]

it's a completely different story on this side of the atlantic... it's almost hard NOT to have seen them by now. :lol:

Tom are you a member of Antsmarching.org?

And yes it is hard to see them here on the East Coast. I live VA and have seen them 5 (1 Dave and Friends), yes I may be spoiled. But, will I stop going? Hell no. :D

nope. i haven't been REALLY into them for a couple years now (i think "Everyday" killed it for me :P )

i've only seen them twice, it's just gotten way too expensive for me.

[Rain]

i think "Everyday" killed it for me )

I liked Everyday! :smug2:

Sometime I'm going to do what the guy did in the music video. :D

[Professor Peedston]

i was referring to the entire album, the song itself is tolerable. :D

[CityandColour]

I have a new enjoyment, and interest in this band. :D

[busybeeburns]

excellent choice :cool:

[CityandColour]

:D

I wish to purchase more DMB albums possibly in the future.

[*Justine*]

I liked them years ago, now Dave sounds like all the inspiration he once had has dissolved. They are played on pop radio now.. boo.

[CityandColour]

He doesn't sound bad now. Just less folky and more rocky.

[*Justine*]

rocky? I wouldnt say he sounds rocky...poopy, I mean poppy lol.

[CityandColour]

No.

[Rain]

excellent choice

definitely :cool: :D

[CityandColour]

I purchased 'Before These Crowded Streets,' last Friday, and I enjoy it. Particularly 'Crush.'

I might possibly consider getting Everyday.

[Rain]

When I got my first DMB CD, I wanted Everyday, but the guy at the music store STRONGLY Suggested that I get Under the Table and Dreaming instead and I absolutely LOVED it, so check that one out at least.

[CityandColour]

I might try that one too.

[CityandColour]

Oh, and by the way, Rain, you love DMB... tell me, is there two versions of 'Crush?' Because I have one that is shorter, and has some different lyrics, and also noticed it's the version from the music video, and I have the regular album version.

Hmmm?

[Rain]

There might be, i've heard one that doesn't have the huge musical section with the flute at the end, but as for a lyrical difference I didn't notice. Ya, the music video version is definitely shorter, they may have changed it just to make it fit, not sure. I love that song too!

[CityandColour]

Yep, that musical section in the end is different too.

[CityandColour]

Ah, check this... some of the altered lyrics kinda (well, not altered really, but some from the album version aren't there)

Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
You crush me with the things you do
I do for you anything too
Sitting smoking feeling high

Yes, it's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming

Lovely Lady
I am at your feet
Let me drink you please
I won't spill a drop I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me

Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on

Ahhh, yeah

It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
Here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or am I dreaming

(instrumental thing)

Lovely Lady
I will treat you sweetly
Adore you I mean you crush me
It's times like these
When my faith I feel
And I know how I love you
Come on, come on

It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
I'm here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down

To each other we'll be facing
By love we'll beat back the pain we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
With each moment...


And that's where the music fades.

[Sweet One]

oooh..i love those lyrics. :D

[CityandColour]

Me too.

[Rain]

If you want the most for your money get "Listener Supported" its all live songs, but you get the best variation. I had never heard the son Rapunzel until I listened to that CD and its a great song. Also there is a ton of soloing after Jimi Thing thats really cool.

[CityandColour]

No, I won't try it until I have heard other material from DMB. I have BTCS, some songs from Everyday, and Satellite/What Would You Say from Under The Table And Dreaming, so it's a work in process.

[Majson]

mmm Dave....IDOL!

Under the table and dreaming is a great debut studio only album from the band. that shows what type of band they are, the type of songs they paly, the way they'll play them, the importance of lyrics that are a little like flowing poetry.

Crash went a little more pop rock in a slow evolution. Continues where the revious album elft off, and thenshows the new direction the band has taken, how they've grown, some classic classic songs

Before these crowded streets is hailed as THE definative dmb album, with some really complex songs, both musically and lyrically. It has all the brillaince of the previous albums, with a new hint of inspiration thrown in. People think it can only go down from here

everyday, yes very poppy. The reason behind it is well documented. The band just had no inspiriation whilst recording "the lillywhite sessions" and thus scrapped that album, and did something more upbeat....it's not great but it's nice enough

Busted stuff shows a true return tof orm, with what they learnt during the past few eyars thrown in. And back to it's roots.

mmm

[CityandColour]

I don't see the songs i've heard on Everyday poppy.... just very rocky, and not like any other DMB stuff i've heard.

[Majson]

pop rock. they aint actual rock.

they're not as bad as some dave fans would have you believe

the space between cheers me up attimes, what you are has become an amazing song live, and mother father i love. everyday is just more like the classic dmb tune

[CityandColour]

Why is it that it seems like everyone hates Everyday? Whether or not it's like DMB's older albums... You gotta give it credit. It's a pretty nicely done rock album. Even though a very few songs tend to sound alike just a little..

[Amstrdam]

What do you think? I mean dmb is not really rock like any other band... i mean they chould have thier own category. Jam... They jam a lot i wish guy would

[busybeeburns]

are you taking the piss? :wink3:

[Amstrdam]

NO IM NOT. :rolleyes:

[busybeeburns]

read the forum titles then you knob :idea2:

[Amstrdam]

WHAT SPEAK ENGLISH!! :D

[Rain]

I love DMB! And actually, they do go in Rock, even though it's a different rock, allow me to explain: Outside there is this big grayish rock, then a few yards away is another much smaller rock, but with cool crystals in it. The larger rock is mainstream rock, but the smaller cooler one is DMB :idea2:

:cool:

I once asked somebody to make me a copy of Dave Matthews and after a few songs..I promptly hit the eject button and chucked the CD out the window of my glorious new BMW. I don't like trash in my car.

have you been sucking the exhaust pipe of a crop duster lately? if you think radiohead is trash, then you clearly are a ignoramus when it comes to music. go to a landfill (i.e. used record store) and try to find a radiohead cd in the used cd section...oh thats right, you won't. people that buy radiohead cds value their purchase and hold on to it for a lifetime, knowing what they have is a slice of heaven on earth.

[Majson]

they're not corpertate jam...

they released an album independantly to be begin with, and it was that album (remember two things) that made RCA want to sign them up. DMB didn't sell out, they just madesure they had wider distribution...

and with such distribution, they've donated so much to charity, made thesmelves available for as many good causes as they agree with, helped promote other bands, hell, dave used his status, and ties to help co-create his own label in theus,a to which he signed david gray up to....

But i would put them in jam band myself...they're not rock, they have influences of rock (mostly the drummer with bass) influences of punk (the bass), folk and coutnry and classical (voilin) jazz (sax) etc...a rather eclectic mix...

wasn't fond of everyday album myself, but i did like it.

[Merkaba82]

I like dmb you like creed


I like both :D


I did not know that ppl actually listened to such bands :confused:

DMB= crap
Creed= landfill

Well... I deemed them "corporate" based more on their audience than anything else. I think you misunderstood me, but then again, I really didn't bother explaining myself either. :P

But I would still argue that they very much DID sell out with Everyday. If you have a perfectly good album, and your record label makes you trash it, so you do so and write an album with some other guy not in the band purely because he'd written hits before, drastically changing your sound to something that's undoubtedly more "commercial" by any definition of the word, isn't that sort of the exact definition of "selling out?" Granted, they obviously weren't satisfied with it since they ended up retooling and releasing their canned album anyway and haven't gone back to that sound since then, but they still did it.

[Bubblehead241]

Anyone like em?

[*Justine*]

I quite liking them 3 years ago when they were on the brink of turning really boring yes.

[Sweet One]

I like a few of their songs. But not enough to buy full albums.

[bluwaterbaboon]

they are ridiculously talented musicians and one of the tightest bands out there. i have emense respect for them as songwriters and musicians and i am in no way embaressed to say that i have every one of their cds and every song they've ever performed live

[Sweet One]

so, you're a fan? :lol:

What is their best album, in your opinion? If I had to buy just one, which would you recommend?

[*Justine*]

crash

[elcubano]

Crash.
If you like that, pick up Under the Table and Dreaming, and Before These Crowded Streets. BTCS is their best album, by far, but Crash is the most accessable.

[mycdplayerisbroke]

did you hear about that story of their tour bus going over a bridge and the bus dropped its "waste dump" over a bridge and it landed on a row boat and the people sued. talk about crash...

[Alessa]

I like a few of their songs. But not enough to buy full albums.

me too.
and i have to recognize that when i listened to Yellow for the first time, i thougt it was Dave Mathews Band. hahahahahaha :o

[*Justine*]

Yes!! Those damn hippies polluting the environment! :)

[el_scorcho]

They're pretty good. I like a few songs.

[bluwaterbaboon]

if i could have just one dmb cd i think i'd go with crash. it has quite a few songs that are considered essential dave (#41, Two Step, Lie In Our Graves, say goodbye) plus some radio staples (Crash Into Me, Tripping Billies, So Much To Say). It also has a nice combination of really mellow songs (proudest monkey, cry freedom, let you down) and rockers (too much, drive in drive out). i also like uttad and btcs alot but crash is their best imo. if you get uttad listen to pfwyg (it's my favorite dmb song) and with bttcs listen to dreaming tree (great understated bass part)

[MyGreenEyes]

Love DMB. After this coming summer, I'll have been to 18 DMB shows. Their concerts are always a blast.

[Sweet One]

After this coming summer, I'll have been to 18 DMB shows.


I haven't even been to 18 concerts, in total, i think. :confused:

[MyGreenEyes]

Some people think it's a little crazy to see someone that many times, but for me it's always a good excuse to have a lot of fun. This summer my boyfriend and I are going to Alpine Valley in Wisconsin(2 shows) to see them, and The Gorge in Washington (3 shows), and the show here in Phoenix. They're basically just weekend long parties. We're also traveling to Cali to see Colplay at Coachella of course:)

[Sweet One]

I'm jealous that you're going to Coachella. That would be awesome!

[*Justine*]

After this coming summer, I'll have been to 18 DMB shows.


I haven't even been to 18 concerts, in total, i think. :confused:

Oh, I have definitely been to 18 shows. I think last year alone I went to more than that. As for DMB, I have seen them once live, and wasn't all that impressed, too much money for so little. And they only play great, big venues, which is not my style.

[MyGreenEyes]

Oh, I agree. Smaller venues are usually better shows. DMB shows are always so high energy and that's why I love them. My boyfriend is the crazy DMB fan, I'm just happy to go along with him. I was a fan of them before I met him, and I'm sure I wouldn't have seen them this many times if I wasn't with him, but I ALWAYS have a good time. I do prefer the smaller venues and I do go to other concerts other than DMB. I saw Modest Mouse a few weeks back, and I'm going to see The Killers in a few weeks, and then Coachella. Concerts are my hobby.

[Egghead]

I quite liking them 3 years ago when they were on the brink of turning really boring yes.

ahahaha.

exactly.

[ALR]

Uh, new album anyone?

Album Title - 'STAND UP'

First Single - 'American Baby' this Thursday, people!

[MyGreenEyes]

Very cool album title. Looking forward to it!

ALR, you going to any shows?

[bluwaterbaboon]

i hafta say that it should be a really good album. it should be alot diferent from most of their other stuff (especially everything they've put out since btcs). it'll have more of a jazzy, hip-hop feel on a few tracks and will be a really good cd (i'm excited about it). i've heard a number of the songs live and they are up there with some of dmb's early material as being their best. check out the songs "hello again" and "joy ride" when you get the chance. hello again stole the show at darien lake (near buffalo) that i went to this summer. i've seen them four times and personally think they're an awesome band to see live just because the environment is so mellow and most of the people are really cool. unfortunately their has recently been a few too many high-school age kids there who just came to get hammered and they tend to be assholes.

[*Justine*]

They are putting out a new album? I am sure this time, I will not buy it.

Hello again and Sugar Will are definately the two best of the four new songs they played during the tour this summer. Both should make it on the new CD.

edit: oh and i just came across this (new single):
http://s35.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=3DVQB7Y8VWPGZ39QETOM9RXK0L

[MyGreenEyes]

My boyfriend is on ants alot, but not me. I hadn't had a chance to listen to the new single yet. Thanks! I'm loving the end. Carter is awesome. Oh, and I meant Joy Ride (not Sugar Will) should be on the album. Sugar Will is my least favorite of the new songs. It's the song I'd sit down or go to the bathroom during at last summer's concerts.

[ALR]

Very cool album title. Looking forward to it!

ALR, you going to any shows?

Nope. I can't swing a single show.:cry: How about you (and bluewaterbaboon)?

Anyone order Live Trax 3?

EDIT: hey bluewaterbaboon, I like your Jack Johnson reference. What do you think of In Between Dreams?

[MyGreenEyes]

I already posted it, but I'm going to the Gorge, Phoenix, and Alpine. 6 shows. The most I've gone in one summer. You should at least try to make it to the Phoenix show(probably the closest to you). :)

Hey, I'm going to the same shows!!

[MyGreenEyes]

^Ladies and Gentlemen, my boyfriend is stalking me!

[SevenMinarets]

I'm going to the Tweeter Show July 6. Also, I think Sugar Will and Joy Ride had the best potential of the 4 'summer songs'. But I doubt we will get all 4 on the album.

[MyGreenEyes]

^We'll see on May 10th! I have 3 pairs of tickets for night one at Alpine. Anyone need a pair?

[Majson]

they should tour the uk. bastards!

love them though

[MyGreenEyes]

^You should just make a trip to the States! :wink3:

[Majson]

yes, i don't have that much money lol

[SevenMinarets]

they should tour the uk. bastards!

love them though
Yea I thought it weird that they would tour in Australia before the UK...

[Majson]

i'm hoping that the new album will mean they'll come over here, though them and their record label don't so much have a european wing, grr

[Bubblehead241]

you people are spammers

[Majson]

telling people that they are spammers is actually nothing more than spamming yourself (and yes this is also a psam, but also a public service announcement)

Yea, too bad from what has been told he might be toning it down a bit this album. But, toning down for him is still crazy good.

[whitey]

Any Dave Mathews Band fans out there? My favorite song by them are "Where are you going" on the 'Busted Stuff' CD.

[*Justine*]

I used to like them a lot, but their albums have been disapointing (at least to me) for years and years.

[wakedemon]

i really, really, really wish that Dave Matthews had never been born

[berrywoman]

aww thats mean!! lol I do like that new single they have.. but other than that.. I'm not a real big fan.

[wakedemon]

im sorry but i really cant stand him

[colduser]

At least Dave writes and performs his own material. These guyz JAM as few other bands do nowadays.

[MrLick]

i really, really, really wish that Dave Matthews had never been born

oh i agree with you, terrible band.

[wakedemon]

At least Dave writes and performs his own material. These guyz JAM as few other bands do nowadays.

Little known fact, JAM is an acronym for Just Annoying Music

[colduser]

^^Sorry for you man. Jam bands have created some of the best live music in history. Grateful Dead, Phish, Allman Brothers, DMB...

[wakedemon]

yea best LIVE music maybe....but i mean, what incentive do I have to go to a show if i cant stand their studio stuff?

[*Justine*]

I went to see them live once when I still liked them. It was shortly after Everyday came out..I think with that album it all went under. It was no longer jamming, it was too studio sounding, too fake, too radio-friendly. Anyway, they put on a good show, but I wouldn't go now since I have no interest in what they have been doing with their albums.

[wakedemon]

i heard from friends who are fans that both the new album and recent shows suck

[*Justine*]

Some bands just do not know when it is time to let it go... dmb is one example.

[wakedemon]

i hope coldplay doesnt do that

[*Justine*]

As long as the albums are good, it won't. As long as the heart is there in the art of the music, and not just love for the money, they will keep their integrity. This new record is not as strong in my opinion. The next one, I hope, will be stronger.

i heard from friends who are fans that both the new album and recent shows suck

Different strokes for different folks I guess. Here's a review from the show I saw on Thursday and it is right on:

Okay, so I get it now. The Dave Matthews thing, that is. The cult. The adoration. The previous unexplainable, inexplicable, seemingly contrary-to-logic phenomenon that is the Dave Matthews fan base.

"It's a special occasion. It's DMB. They don't have to (see what we do). They know. They can feel it. It's DMB. They get the love," said fan Tara Raes.

Come on, Tara. They get the love? Are you kidding? Damn, do they get the love. At the amphitheater show, they got love you just don't see often, especially when at least half of the capacity crowd, 20,000 strong, trudged through a minefield of parking lot mud pits just to reach the amphitheater stage.

If there is a band that prompts a more familiar groove from its fans, this reviewer has never seen it.

On Thursday I realized the power of a Dave Matthews Band show.

With the DMB, we're all family. We're all old school. We're all at the family reunion, we're all at girls' night out, we're all at boys' night out. We're all together, and DMB finds a way to make it so.

They played songs, mind you, but the individual songs hardly mattered. You caught What Would You Say here, or Ants Marching there, and more tunes than expected off the newest disc, Stand Up, and really it didn't matter, because it's the DMB, and they play so tight. They play with such an organic syncopation that they could rip through Oops! I Did it Again and you would play along for every single second.

Why? Because despite their spotty recording history, they are that incredible live. They are in their element and then some. They are a rock band, a blues band, a jazz band, a jam band.

And as best a straight man can put it, they are adorable. They are the Dan Cortese to the George Costanza and his man-crush on Seinfeld. They are guys' guys, and man are they ever ladies' men. Take it from every close-up of Matthews on his acoustic guitar, of violinist Boyd Tinsley with his impressive exposed biceps, of easygoing, unflappable drummer Carter Beauford.

They are expert musicians, and to DMB fans, they are idols, they are mentors, they are family. It was a reunion of sorts Thursday night, even for fans who never had seen DMB live before.

It was a party, and everyone was included, everyone was invited, and one can hardly imagine a soul left unhappy. If there is a better way to enjoy oneself on a rainy summer evening, I can hardly imagine how.

I have to say i WAS very disippointed in their new album 'Stand up'. The only song i really liked was 'american baby'. :/ Im becoming less of a fan but i still will always love...
Where are you going

I didn't see any thread about them, so I wanted to go ahead and start one.

Are there any fans? I know that they do not tour internationally on a regular basis, but for those who have seen them, they put on a great show. I am going to my 20th and 21st show in December, and I am extremely happy, especially because I have 4th row seats for them.

Any other fans of their music? :guitarist:

[Bijeli_Miš]

Yeah they are good.
My everlasting favourite of course is "crash into me".

Boring ever since Everyday.

I'd consider myself a pretty big fan...and another one in this message board (which surprisingly...hasn't had his dave matthews band sense hone in on this thread) is 'thebestyoucan'. I think that dave's voice is one of a kind and has a funny dance too when playing live! :lol:

i am a huge dmb fan, and if you dont know anything about their studio work this sums it up perfectly. their live shows are still going strong.
