Tell that to the tourists who were covered in DMBs feces.

You can rest assured they'll never hear the end of that.

 

[DigMe]

Dave Matthews Band is still playing together? Had no idea.

[Mike Money]

People actually listen to dave mathews band?

I'll be going to the concert in Sydney.....whats wrong with DMB? Do they have some kinda reputation in the states?

 

[Mike Money]

Nothing wrong with them per se... not my cup of tea.

 

[DigMe]

I was never a fan either. They do seem to have lost popularity here though...not that it matters.

[Marlat]

I have heard (per Conan O'Brian) that most of their fans are white college kids....thats seems to be confirmed by the concert DVDs I have.

 

[MJ5150]

DMB is still around up here. They got popular with the "earthy" girls, so all the dudes around here jumped on the DMB bandwagon hoping to score with one of the chicks who liked DMB for real.

When you finally turn up there is will be all Queer Eye and Alcopops

 

[Floating teetH]

Yes, apparently they're a "jam band."

Or so I'm told.

And how exactly would you remember that, Money?

Man, how standards have fallen.

 

[Floating teetH]

Standards aside, I don't see the connection. Do they improvise? Because I know I've seen their live stuff on MTV, but I don't recall. Even if they do, though, that doesn't make them any more "jam band" then weezer.

 

[Mike Money]

And how exactly would you remember that, Money?

brad cook

Dude, im 37.

 

[Marlat]

Well on most of their live CD's there are at least a couple of extended "jams" - ie a 20 minute version of Two Step or Jimi Thing with parts of other songs interspersed. They do seem to do some improvisation, but I wouldnt call them a "jam band" in the Grateful Dead sense - not that I would listen to them if they were!

 

[DigMe]

Dude, im 37.

37, still in high school and living with your parents. You're a sad, sad man. :scowl:
