Dave Matthews on Q TV

[@elainelytle9704]

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

[@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

[@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

[@FlankinspanK]

hes such a gem

[@stereoborealis]

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.

[@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

[@brammurti]

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

[@jscottstyle]

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

[@brookeguy7741]

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

[@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!

[@Neil2112]

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

[@TAYLORHWALL]

Fantastic interview! Dave Matthews is a brilliant mind!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@IanLysaght]

Yep looks great in HD!! Thanks QTV!

[@emarskineel]

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

[@seanwhite8841]

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

[@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!!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@jacobhawkinsmusic]

it's even different now

[@tattymelker]

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

[@seanohalloran384]

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

[@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.

[@mrshankly01]

What a great interview.

[@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!

[@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.

[@pamelahaldane2317]

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

[@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.

[@awrichards9]

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

[@FelipeAkira42]

I just saw this today for the first time omg

[@BTaylor3444]

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

[@robertbrehm6651]

This is so awesome, such an insightful guy. GRUX

[@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.

[@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!

[@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!

[@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 !

[@NoPlaybookPodcast]

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

[@WaveEnterprise]

TRUTH

[@nelsontragura1441]

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

[@joshuablanchette878]

Great interview

[@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.

[@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.

[@44standaman]

Dave was so close to fully understanding what God really is when he was going on his soliloquy, then he dismissed it and moved on to something else. I hope all these years later Dave found his relationship with God.

[@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

[@terryblair966]

Great interview.

[@guerrillafilmz]

The Interviewer was absolutely fantastic

[@RM-of4bu]

Rob Cavallo also worked with My chemical romance

[@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

[@ParsonWilkerson]

Great interviewer, speaks with distinction.

[@walterc.charlescampbelllll8485]

cool dave is so cool

[@billyhermosa3436]

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

[@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.

[@hoodwillhunting]

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

[@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

[@emdub022]

OMG this was great!! :)

[@lightingcue1]

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

[@EgyptianBunso]

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

[@johnnym815]

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

[@candipill]

Love this album!

[@Amybtru]

Best interview EVA!

[@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?

[@koston240life]

Dave matthews gets me.

[@johnnylarue1]

awesome

[@kelleycarr3579]

The “good God” that Dave describes is exactly who God is. He’s almost there.

[@yatts10]

" That unit...is remarkable!" hahahaha

[@ASide45]

Anything negative about God has been brought about by man's interpretations. Man wants to use God as a tool to exercise his own selfish desires. I'm a Christian, but I've seen how men want to use God for financial gain or what have you. When in reality God is all of those beautiful things Dave has described.

[@kai326]

Amen, I love that

[@JickJackJake]

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

[@kennethhacker3014]

Gezz can't believe how old this interview is ugggggggg

[@karayoukon9190]

Such a sexy voice and amazing musician!

[@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.

[@matthewanderson490]

I like being NICE

[@akashsharma1207]

Colorful Introduction :)

[@100DRUMMER001]

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

[@davidjohnston4247]

Dave, if you see through everything, you see nothing.

[@BTaylor3444]

David Johnston And nothing is something we should embrace.

[@beverlybutz744]

W44

[@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

[@JBic420]

Don't do that to yourself man.. Download firefox browser. Install adblock. Never be barraged by annoying ads again.

[@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.

[@cuteface114]

Dave Matthews is one Curious George.

[@bhaskarjyabaruah1090]

thats the host of this show.

[@luvetohate]

rule 4: don't listen to the nay sayers.How many times have you heard that you can't do this or you can't do that and that has never been done before. just imagine if Dave mathews had quit when they told him it can't be done. As a matter of fact I love it when somebody tells me that no one has ever done this before, because that means when i do it i'm the first one that has done it. so pay no attention to the people who say it can't be done. I always listen to myself and say yes you can! - Arnold

[@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.

[@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.

[@luvsilly60]

Young journalist should study Q and the interviews this host conducts. He is always prepared and respectful. Baltimore had a radio station called WHFS. The DJs were a mess when it came to interviews. Degrading and acting like they were anywhere near the story of the artists they were lucky to have in studio.

[@simpleuzer]

Dave Matthews is Jesus And George Carlin was Jesus too ^^

[@Smitty212]

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

[@wkusig0004]

Dave sounds like a young Bill Murray from Caddieshack.

[@Trendall]

I'm a massive fan of both Dave Matthews and Nick Drake, but there are no similarities between them whatsoever aside from both being singer/songwriters with acoustic guitars. For the people saying 'who the fuck is Nick Drake?', go and listen to some of his stuff, I'm sure you'll like it.

[@DichaLimao]

the first from the album. It's called Grux

[@marting69la]

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

[@MarkTitus420]

Somebody here besides me is baked.

[@pritamtamang6203]

Gold

[@Nicho2177]

Jesus Loves you Dave Matthews

[@juhjermee]

There is a God like that.

[@Towndrunk26er]

There is no proof of that.

[@Solar101892]

+TownDrunk Let it be man. We are specs floating in a infifinit universe. The Logic we know is man made, it is a tool to make sense of things we cant exsplain. Does god exist?.. It doesn't matter, you will choose what ever makes suits you best and feels most rational. right and wrong dont exist..but the perception that something is right or wrong does. do you understand what I'm saying or do you see my views as crazy or illogical because you were not taught to think that way.

[@Towndrunk26er]

Zach G Whether god exists or not is relevant. The harm caused by the people that believe their god exists that is and has been out of control. That is the problem. So no, I won't "let it be". Thanks for your reply.

[@Solar101892]

you prove a point that religion has caused much harm to this world and that can not be dienied but so hasnt greed and power. But that isnt even what i was arguing about. Iwas comenting on that fact that you said there is no proof of god or a higher power because it doesnt fit your logic. Where is the proof that God or a source of a higher energy doesn't exist? Your Welcome.

[@Towndrunk26er]

Zach G You can't prove a negative. Believers always try this is rookie tactic and it is a massive fail. Next By the way, it is you're welcome, not "your welcome". You're welcome

[@17865329]

Jian needs to condense his intros, we know who Dave is, we don't need a lengthy monologue to introduce him.

[@arcticmonkey3]

You know. The little old lady who Listens to CBC doesn’t. His intros are spot on

[@ConnB-dg5pe]

Keep the interview about Dave Matthews and less about mindless ramblings about a religious creation he has spun up in his head. He is a musician. Make it more about the road and the music. This interview made little sense, I have heard more "Ums" in this conversation than I have in school with a guy next to me that was making up stuff when asked question in class about a chapter he didn't know anything about. Love you Dave, bad job interviewer.

[@droge192]

Someone is triggered..... get over it. It was an astounding interview, and thankfully, you don't get to set the agenda.

[@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.

[@jens05121]

God I LoVE him!! Just sayin...

[@Obelisk918]

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