The Trepidation of the Dave Matthews Fan

[@ApolloStarfall]

I used to work security for DMB. Dave and the whole crew would love this bit. Also, major props for the David Foster Wallace reference!

[@Jlyblylvr]

I have never met Dave (ha, I’m doing that thing of referring to him by his first name) or any of the band but I think they would find this funny too. Also, I’m sure all of the money that they have made from making music would cushion the blow of these jokes. They’re going to be fine.

[@ili626]

as long as those hacks have money they’ll laugh it off.

[@pablot-r9402]

Scott Stapp saw the "Creed Shredded" videos from long ago and he and the band loved them and found them amusing. It takes depth to laugh off the hate & disapproval, and actually find some acceptance in it. It certainly means that you've made it in your career, I would at least think anyway.

Turned out, I had a tumor in my brain, and it was pressing against my auditory canal, and that's what was affecting my musical perception. So I got it taken out of there and I'm listening to Guster and I'm going to be alright. That's how Dave Matthews saved my life. Yeah, none of that is true but the mushrooms are not bunk.

The look and the slumped shoulders and the resignation of it all..."Uhhhh yeahhh...Dave Matthews Band..." Nobody! No other band elicits this kind of reaction out of their own fans like DMB! And of course, this is not unique to DMB. One of the most puzzling things of the human condition is that we all have this thing (maybe more than one thing...) that we love, that we hold dear and sacred but, when asked about it...we are embarrassed of our own fanhood and enthusiasm. Why? Why does everyone have this? And I'm talking about stuff that is BEYOND a guilty pleasure. If that thing you say you "love" embarrasses you? Why do you continue to love it? Why, when asked about the show did the barista not stand up big and tall and shake his hairy fist and say, "Eff yeah! I'm going to see Dave Matthews Band, bay-BEE!" ???

Love DMB and can gladly say that he's (mostly) not wrong.

[@rnjesus9950]

I love DMB, but I think a lot of it stemmed from fascination with Carter’s drumming as I was learning drums in high school. The live recording of the tripping billies intro was beyond comprehension to me the first time I heard it at 14. Fantastic musicianship throughout the band, but I can certainly understand the band not being everyone’s cup of tea.

[@jadedjimmy]

Lol I know exactly what you mean. They have a pretty unique, eclectic sound and are genuinely great musicians, but they’ve also gained mainstream popularity which of course results in mixed feelings from the masses. However, I find a lot of their music to actually be really pleasant sounding and interesting, so tbh I’ve never quite understood the actual hate they get. I understand why people wouldn’t like their music but the animosity towards their fan base has always seemed bizarre to me, people like Marc Maron smugly acting like they’re objectively bad & whatnot.

Couldn’t disagree more. I understand it’s comedy but it’s a very unfair, stubborn, ignorant assessment. Being the second highest ticket seller of all time, I’m sure the group is doing something right. Boring? Carter Beauford is consistently ranked as one of the best drummers of all time. He can play rhythms and grooves that no else can. You simply can’t deny the technical ability of the musicians, and frankly doing so just makes you look like an idiot. I think this guy needs to listen to more music and do less of this “comedy” act. Yes I’m looking for an argument.

They have a good drummer who unfortunately doesn't understand the importance of occasional self-restraint. Nickelback and Creed sold more albums than DMB in a shorter timespan. Success does not make Dave Matthews good. Donnie Darko, Blow Out, Bottle Rocket, Paris, Texas, The Iron Giant, Mulholland Drive, The Thing, and Fight Club all failed at the box office. The Last Airbender, Jack and Jill, Wild Hogs, Little Fockers, Paul Blart: Mall Cop, and After Earth did not. DMB is perhaps the ultimate symbol of bland, monotonous, middle-of-the-road, one-size-fits-all, predictable, unchallenging, milquetoast, toothless, corporate, calculated, pedestrian, easy listening fodder designed not to scare anyone away from jumping on the bandwagon. DMB is, at best, a phase that you go through, grow out of, and move on to more advanced material. Dave Matthews is an also-ran along the lines of a Darius Rucker, a John Mayer, a Jack Johnson, a Rob Thomas, Adam Duritz, Chris Barron, John Ondrasik, Lenny Kravitz, Bryan Adams, Mark McGrath, Josh Groban, Aaron Lewis, Gavin Rossdale, etc. Yes, the band is professional, but so are tons of other bands who demonstrated balls and brains, and used their talents to deliver iconic, groundbreaking music rather than a safe middle ground.

​@@DMTsmokewell.. he asked for an argument... NAILED IT!

Mark Maron sucks ever watch his show? it gives you that type of boredom that has an edge to it. Plus I don't think anyone knows who Mark is...... Louis C.K. is much funnier and doesn't look and sound like an angry math teacher

[@Steve-uv9kb]

[@p0llenp0ny]

You big crybaby.

[@randallporter6841]

Who is this guy? I feel like he was on netflix, i recognize his face from the "continue watching" list. I clicked on it, turns out i only watched six minutes of his show, so i watched a bit more then realized why i quit watching. So now it says Iv'e watched eight minutes of his show. Not gonna make it to nine.

Dude has no clue what he's talking about. Using dmb fame to try and get laughs. Sad and not funny. How bout this guy shave and get a haircut. Might want to enter the new millennium.

[@BackwoodsFilms]

He didn't just try to get laughs, he got them.

[@p0llenp0ny]

Lol you DMB fans are some of the most defensive cry babies I've ever seen. It's okay for people to not like Dave Matthews. Relax.

DMB.. . .perfect music for the waiting room at the Dentist's office.
