Dave Matthews on Q TV

/ qtv
Dave Mathews of The Dave Matthews Band, considered one of the most popular live acts in rock history, sits down for an in-depth interview spanning a new album, religion and ... monkeys.

[@bigpoppaa1]

Prime example of a real rockstar. Even though with multiplatnuim albums, countless live albums, millions of fans, and being the biggest act that still touring till this day. He is still a humble man. Thats what true rock stardom really is. Love of the music and letting nothing else effect you that comes along the way.

[@steveataylor3699]

Absolutely agreed

[@elainelytle9704]

And this interview is why I love Dave. His soul does shine, for sure. Thank ya Dave !!

[@brammurti]

Dave's just an awesome storyteller. He's a bit unusual and unique, and that's why we the fans love the guy.

[@cyoncastrol]

I thank Dave and the guys for all of their songs, from Ants Marching and Proudest Monkey to Barthender and Stay, but one song I'm particularly grateful for is Seven, that song just rings to me specially with my current situation with a lady, and every time I listen to it, it just feels like they are playing for me. They are the greatest artist I've ever listened to and their legacy will be forever imprinted in my life.

[@LuvDMB3641]

My favorite

[@SilentServiceCode]

I will never get tired of that COMPAQ laptop from 1993 with some Windows 3.1 terminal window open.

[@SilentServiceCode]

Jian we can feed you comments from the control room, but only if you use a COMPAQ laptop from 1993. --Producer

[@stereodada]

What a great and humble man. Tons of heart and respect for life, people and the world. I've been a huge fan for years and they just keep getting better. Dave's a saint - that is, all those things that a saint should be. Jian, great thanks.

[@brookeguy7741]

Soo Loving dedication to Leroi!!! He is greatly missed!💜☮️🌛🌟🎼🎷🎤

[@seanwhite8841]

Who can not like this guy. He's got such a great view of the world...acceptance is all he cares about.

[@hazelbays]

I saw the DMB live for the first time last week, and became a convert. Great concert..great energy from the band. Before that, I was just a casual fan-had never bought an album. After the concert, I went out and bought "Big Whiskey." They've won me over.

[@Neil2112]

Brilliant! Always great to hear him talk about pretty much anything, because he makes anything seem interesting.

[@Gcor239]

Dave Matthews' view on god is just absolutely spot on, what an incredible man. I love his idea that no man is really superior to another because of success, its something so many people lose sight of. It's apparent that his humility is not an act, he really is a down to earth dude. A weird, quirky, lucky, talented down to earth dude. cheers dave.

[@TAYLORHWALL]

Fantastic interview! Dave Matthews is a brilliant mind!

[@41Shyra7]

I love the way Dave talks :)

[@pat2e962]

Shyra M Shyra is a sexy name! Sry to be a weird stranger but that name is hot!!! Love it. Your pictire isnt too shabby either. Very good match of hot name and hot lady

[@TheUnQuake]

@@pat2e962 Ur trash.

[@BTaylor3444]

He's a great interviewer, very conscientious and prepared compared to most interviewers. When you watch several of his interviews, you really get an in-depth interview, really getting to know the people he's talking to.

[@6663000]

This is FINALLY finished processing, I saw it posted last night but I didn't want to watch it until the HD kicked in :P So I'll watch it now. I am glad you guys finally got this interview up!

[@jessicajudd7543]

I have Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King on vinyl and it is my favorite record I own (which is a lot). It truly is a great album. LOVE Dave Matthews!!!

[@268dayna]

Dave is such a normal, fun guy. He has done and seen so much, but still is amazed by nature and childrens excitement. That is indeed, what god is all about, being a true altruistic part of this world brings all living things together.

[@jscottstyle]

best dave interview i've ever seen, and this video should clear up any misconceptions people have of dave's beliefs

[@filmtress]

Dave is a right brained multi talented Angel. Thanks Dave for being here with us during these crazy times. 7-27-10 The gulf is a little different now.

[@jakehawkinsmusic]

it's even different now

[@filmtress]

I can't believe I listened to this whole thing again in it's entirety as the new year rang in. Happy New Year Dave! I missed you and the guys last year when you didn't tour. Will you resume this year? Well if you do go back on tour I'll believe that the world won't end. Thanks baby.

[@tattymelker]

"Leroi, or LEEroy" "Oh he'd punch you right in the face!" hahahahahaha that gave me a good laugh

[@IanLysaght]

Yep looks great in HD!! Thanks QTV!

[@KayGirl216]

The introductions....are always epic. Mazel to you, sir. And Dave...legendary in my mind. Grew up on DMB and as an adult, my love for the work he always seems to produce...as great as ever.

[@seanohalloran384]

OMG Dave Mathews is hilarious. He could do standup. Great video!

[@emarskineel]

Dave Matthews drew that album art? Damn that’s cool

[@davidmurphy8871]

Waiting for Columbus-Little Feat live used to be my favorite live rock and bluesy thang-and then Dave and the Men flamed it-DMB is amazing on all levels-how much jam and soul can one band have?-much...way much-thank you DMB.

[@cynthiap471]

Jian Ghomeshi was doing well, then he told a great story teller to stop telling stories. I would tune in to listen to Dave tell monkey stories any day, any time, for any amount of time. Off to look for a better interviewer.

[@filmtress]

Excellent interview. I don't know who this guy is but he's quite the interviewer. Dave shared many facets of this album and his personal experience. I love that the interview was filmed. We got to see Dave making funny faces and got to witness the emotion he displayed as he talked of Le Roi and the members of the band. The monkey story was an awesome visual. Thanks Qtv. Keep'em coming.

[@QwithTomPower]

This interview is in HD, perhaps it had not finished being processed when you watched it. Try again. If you still can't watch it in HD, then your service provider is likely the culprit. Thanks for watching! Team Q Tube.

[@robertbrehm6651]

This is so awesome, such an insightful guy. GRUX

[@awrichards9]

Great interview. I watched the same guy interview Jason Mraz, and I respect his interviewing style.

[@mrshankly01]

What a great interview.

[@NoPlaybookPodcast]

Great interview. Props to this interviewer from another radio guy. He did a great job.

[@pamelahaldane2317]

Forever dancing with the Groo Grux King! DAVE MATHEWS BAND FANS INTERNATIONAL FACEBOOK GROUP...WE LOVE YOU DAVE!

[@GabrielCavalheiro]

I always listened to Jian Gomeshi on CBC radio, but I must admit that I didn't know his work or himself for that matter... I was surprised to see he's pretty young, as I was expecting someone older... ahah... he's a really good interviewer!

[@joshuablanchette878]

Great interview

[@BTaylor3444]

Yeah, I think Dave is actually astonishingly humble, compared to other people in "public life," or other musicians, celebrities, etc.

[@FelipeAkira42]

I just saw this today for the first time omg

[@6663000]

Great interview, I remember watching the monkey story in a previous little clip you uploaded. I was really looking forward to the rest of the interview, but unfortunately, the best part was already uploaded in that previous clip. Still a good interviews though, he is a fun guy to listen to. Thanks for the upload !

[@lightingcue1]

19:30 I'll have to say, Dave Matthews does have some pretty ripping licks!

[@WaveEnterprise]

TRUTH

[@ZachDiIonno]

Great quality interview, the host did a really great job of getting into Dave's head with questions about God, obsession with monkeys (google 'Vervet Monkeys'--they really have blue....testicles!!), and why he believes GrooGrux King is the band's best album. Keep up the good work Q!

[@Hexspa]

I really don’t know much about this band or their music, sure I’ve heard a few cuts, but KZbin just keeps recommending him. It’s really strange

[@hoodwillhunting]

6:54 " He'd punch you right in the face..."

[@guerrillafilmz]

The Interviewer was absolutely fantastic

[@walterc.charlescampbelllll8485]

cool dave is so cool

[@ParsonWilkerson]

Great interviewer, speaks with distinction.

[@Amybtru]

Best interview EVA!

[@candipill]

Love this album!

[@waka126126]

i love dave, i often think to myself that he has expiernced or seen the wrong side of Christianity, as i am seeing right now in my life...its amazing how people can misrepresent their God and not realize, not that im perfect or anything either, this also goes to all the religions in the world...i blame media for showing the extreme views of society, and not the average human tryin to just live life and make the world a better place..

[@AnHonestLiar]

Better to blame the media than the book full of contradictions!

[@billyhermosa3436]

Jian is s great interviewer. So well prepared. Never a dull moment. Very inspiring.

[@emdub022]

OMG this was great!! :)

[@terryblair966]

Great interview.

[@heruglyamerican]

"Carter...our drummer." We know, Dave. We know.

[@JWalshMovies]

😂😂😂 so true!

[@EgyptianBunso]

Jian does really good interviews :-D I Love Dave!

[@koston240life]

Dave matthews gets me.

[@johnnym815]

Thanks for the great interview! Any chance of getting a Dave Matthews guitar lesson? Please!!!

[@osianjones25]

does anyone have a link to the photo he's talking of ~6mins in? I'd love to see it.. they're such a groogrux band ;D

[@jesseenger9614]

His expect the worst and hope for best. same mentality here. Think it comes from hardships, and struggles. And not taking himself as a bloated star keeps him grounded and always pushing himself to prove to people. Never get comfortable. Starving artist thing. Long successful career. He shrugs off success. And prevents self from getting caught up in it.

[@drkarate1]

i can relate to alot of things he is saying, pretty analitical smart man...love one another and be good to people. great interview,,delaying my morning unexpectedly but worth hearing valued opinions,,

[@RM-of4bu]

Rob Cavallo also worked with My chemical romance

[@johnnylarue1]

awesome

[@akashsharma1207]

Colorful Introduction :)

[@JickJackJake]

Actually he was talking about the band in 91'. He said his music "was" terrible.

[@Smitty212]

DMB should do The Howard Stern Show to promote Away from the World.

[@MillerxMiles]

Not really. He does incredible benefit shows out of wanting to help disabled and people in need. Not for publicity but out of a want to aid people. He certainly has been at his peek for awhile and it's awesome that someone like him can make a big impact on aiding people that need more than what they have been given.

[@realoik]

"Someone will point out who it is and say he's an idiot. I'm an idiot, so I beat you to it." LOL

[@nelsontragura1441]

If you love this world. Then you can find your god in this earth, but it's still a god of this earth.

[@100DRUMMER001]

sometimes that's what it takes to be a great song writer or drummer...aka Artist

[@hayleyl784]

Dave could read me the phone book and I would pay attention. I LOVE his voice and I want him to read me bedtime stories.

[@connor4637]

its so interesting how album titles are created and just the behind the scenes and dmb is just the greatest thing to ever become

[@thebitz11]

I like Dave's thoughts around Religion adn Spirituality... It leads me to a thought/question... In light of another tragedy like Sandy Hook, are we in the beginning of another "Dark Ages" period??? It seems to be a troubling time as of late.

[@matthewanderson490]

I like being NICE

[@DichaLimao]

the first from the album. It's called Grux

[@kennethhacker3014]

Gezz can't believe how old this interview is ugggggggg

[@davidikard]

Dave's strange perspective that he should be able to choose the characteristics of God, as he sees fit, is backwards even for the most ardent agnostic. Love Dave, and certainly wish he would allow himself to have an encounter with the God of our lives. He will meet Him one day, regardless.

[@yatts10]

" That unit...is remarkable!" hahahaha

[@pritamtamang6203]

Gold

[@exconguitar]

@etanalot669 Yes, He once said at a concert before playing a song called "eh yee hee" that he likes "The idea that we came from the trees". His songs that speak of god are usually him mocking belief.

[@Moderationinmoderation]

very nice :)

[@malkneil]

The Persian Jimmy Fallon. Put a black wig on JF and he's Jian Ghomeshi. That aside would love to crack a beer with Dave and talk about God or god.

[@cuteface114]

Dave Matthews is one Curious George.

[@Obelisk918]

Do they have the performance Dave did of Lying in the Hands of God uploaded?

[@jens05121]

God I LoVE him!! Just sayin...

[@marting69la]

DAve is the best! Kills when he takes the cel phone at 2:12 he is fucking amazing.

[@niklaber]

I am, and I am!

[@marshallcaillou7671]

I'm the biggest DMB and Dave Matthews himself fan there is but what he said about separating us from monkeys is wrong. We don't need to wish to be closer to monkeys we need to look at monkeys and appreciate that good created us the way we are and gives us the opportunity to marvel at amazing creatures like monkeys

[@wkusig0004]

Dave sounds like a young Bill Murray from Caddieshack.

[@alexai5151]

2:42 "you know if you really liked being slapped in the face"- ironic, awkward, Jian changes the subject immediately- did Dave know, like so many others are now admitting they did, so many years ago?

[@BruceWayne-oz7xc]

know what?

[@yurismir1]

Agreed :)

[@729pjp]

im astounded that this band gets no radio play..

[@mikhailazarov5597]

729pjp most songs are too long and the band won't let editing of the composition of their songs. It takes away from the songs soul

[@brettrhyno255]

I think it's more the length of their songs rather then them being good or not, they used to be a mainstream titan in earlier years and have a devoted enough fan base now where radio play they don't really need. They still pack stadiums with or without radio airplay.

[@bhaskarjyabaruah1090]

thats the host of this show.

[@jcomer1982]

30:24 yes, sir

[@karayoukon9190]

Such a sexy voice and amazing musician!

[@Nicho2177]

Jesus Loves you Dave Matthews

[@delepiane]

One does not remove the other!

[@connorcondict]

@mkapsch oh. ok, ill check it out.

[@bagq06]

true

[@OvercookedOctopusFeet]

Who's the robot speaking the intro at the beginning?

[@yowhatsup2377]

both?
