Kay Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 Because Jan seems to think people care a lot more about DMB than they actually do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I voted Dave Mathews, a vote for all those who helped him achieve #1 in concert ticket sales the past decade and an industry leader in #1 album debuts for our generation.

daveyjones Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 dave matthews and his band are not even qualified to clean R.E.M.'s tour bus. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I would hope they wouldn't since that bus would smell like old dads. and Carter Beauford is widely considered one of the best drummers of all time so that's bullshit and you know it.

Jan Backing Track Posted August 18, 2018 Report Share Posted August 18, 2018 I really thought of all people, Daveyjones would have had my back on this one. Maybe not DMB over REM but just DMB respect in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's entirely your opinion, being able to maintain such a large following and still sell out shows to this day says otherwise to quite a few people.

See, I get this perspective. They have an insane drummer, violinist, others bandmates and Dave is just decent, nothing spectacular. But Dave is the organizer/initiator/hoppus, whatever you want to call him. It creates a good chemistry, mix. If it weren't for him they'd be still playing with their talent at bars in their small town. That's why it works though, you need the poppier guy surrounded by the talent. It's not much different than Travis needing Mark and Tom to get cast in the limelight and 'wasting' his talent on pop punk songs. Have you heard of Dream Theater? Yeah, they're all immense talents with no room to breath, you don't remember any of their songs because it doesn't sound good. 42 minutes ago, daveyjones said: but i think more so, i really dislike their fan base. and that can taint a band. dave matthews band fans are some of the worst white people in america. I said this in the other thread. Most people hate on DMB, just like blink, because of much of their fans. DMB for whatever reason attracts a lot of frat guys who smoke weed at the concert and think it's their thing. Blink writes a lot of dirty dick jokes and yet attracts a zillion teenage girls and emos. DMB writes a lot about unjust/irony in society, deeper songs, yet attracts a zillion trashy frat bros. It's random Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
