Dave Matthews
Anyone out there love Dave Matthews? I love him so much. In fact, you could say (or I could say, rather), "I love him 'Oh so Well, Like a kid loves candy and fresh snow' I love him 'Oh so Well, 'nough to fill up heaven overflow n fill hell, love him oh so well.'" Ok, I didn't make that up. quoting his song "Oh" on the Some Devil cd. I love this cd. At first, I didn't, but listening to it with headphones loudly has made me love it.
His music, his voice has so much sentimentality and emotion attatched to it for me, but how much I love his music transcends whatever sadness that might come along with a memory attatched to a song.... Does that make any sense? Maybe this should be in journals.... Anyway... Any other Dave fans out there?

under the table and dreaming....best dave album ever...i just revived it from my cd case, sooo good
Totally, absolutely, totalmente guilty here. I love Dave Matthews. At work right now I'm staring at three of his CD's (actually multiple CD sets)... Live at Folsom Field, The Central Park Concert and Some Devil.
Grey Street was like my anthem last year.
oops! accidently posted twice....
wow. you're still stuck on this eh? hhhhhmmmm....

I've said it before here and i'll say it again. A pox on this man. Tho i dont hate him as much as i used to...
A pox on the crotch of this man to be more specific...
yeha i gotta admit I HEART Dave too - I've seen him twice in concert, at the Giant Stadium show I was one section from the stage. His lyrics are soooo awesome and I think he's gotta great way about him... listening to his music stirs up some good memories but some heartbreak ones too...
WOW I'm away for a few days and fights bust out and all this riotousness! Guess ya either hate him or love him...
Can't we all just get along? lol
ya, see what you started? jk.
I got the Some Devil album Saturday and last night after meetin I got the Central Park set... I heart dave!
Right on Betsy...I hear ya. Some Devil - great cd, among the many Dave plays on. Don't let the negative, ridiculous remarks by some of the few tasteless people here ruin your appreciation for great music. You got the right perspective girl. Right on!
well take this.. i was there for his central park gig.. and i was backstage.. and he almost touched me. but then i got thrown out. twice.
yea i have none of his albums or any of his songs burned on cd.. butt buttt... i've been to at least 3 concerts.. and i love them. i only can like them live. it's such a good time !
i definitely love DMB. they're awesome musicians, and their live shows are great. i haven't liked his last couple studio albums tho. but i absolutely love their live cds.
i think i've been to 5 of their concerts! and now they're too hard to get tickets for. :(
Very talented feller. The band is sick, especially the drummer.
I dig Dave, he's so passionate with his writings, music, singing
I am such a hater of this man and his band.
i'm drinking a bottle of hateraid with his name on it myself
I'm just not impressed by him at all and never made the attempt to get into it. I always thought it was for the stoner hippie group in my school.
same here
yeah. seriously. i mean, come on, have you heard "crash"? it's the same song as "satellite", just with different words.
I also think that deep down inside, dave wants to be michael stipe.
but the WORST thing, is that he sneaks s-e-x references in to songs. SHHHHHHH!
your opinion dont matter
Wow, a "HATER" of this band. Does that include a hatred of all talent, musicianship, and creativity in music?...because when you step back - Hate is a strong word. Are you sure you actually hate Dave & his band? An untouchable drummer, a stylishly rockin' violinist, most versatile saxaphonist, flutist, and the other 10+ instruments that Leroi plays, along with unbelievable lyrics and melodies (whether rock, funk, jazzy, or otherwise) from the talented guitarist Dave...try going to a live show. What's not to like about this band? They're soooooooo good that's it is almost offensive to say that you are a hater of this man and his band. Question - are you saying that you actually HATE good music? Get away from the mainstream garbage, and give a listen to an awesome ensemble of a group - THE DAVE MATTHEWS BAND -
i think she means she hates the people who worship dave matthews as the end all of great music...
I'll go with what Dan said cause I really don't know what to say in response to your saying I hate good music. I'm fairly sure musical taste is all about opinion and my opinion is your taste isn't good.
I never stated that you hate good music. If you look closer, you'll see that it was phrased as a question. Again tho, good for you and your opinions- whatever makes you happy. I was merely trying to understand the thinking behind your hatred. If I offended, sorry you took it so personally. No one should worship the band, but c'mon, some credit please...
One..take it easy. This whole site is practically one giant (often stupid) joke. I don't hate anything, but I am free to throw that word around if I want to. And I don't have to give Dave any credit if I just don't like his band. I don't like cheeze wiz..maybe you do. I don't have to give it any credit just because it's your personal preference. I really just don't appreciate Dave.
yeah and i don't appreciate crash or satellite. i mean, how can those POSSIBLY be considered great songs? taking a crappy song, having it play on the radio approx. 41,562 times, and then changing the words does NOT make it better. or even good.
i think some originality is necessary.
you don't like cheeze wiz??? but its so fun to play with!
The idea of cheese in a can doesn't appeal to me.
Ok then...you wear me out. Don't like'm and don't like cheeze whiz, whatever makes you happy. My earlier reply to you wasn't meant to be taken so seriously that you're actually mad about this. Throw out as many words as you want. Of course this site is about having a fun time, sharing how you feel and what you know about certain topics. Take it from the "I-man". He's got the right idea. Hopefully this site isn't your whole life, as I see you logged on around 10am this morning.
My I am certainly tired of reading your posts. I don't know what gave you the impression that I was mad, but I wasn't. However, I must say that you are now starting to thoroughly annoy me. Why does it matter to you what time I'm on Ezabel, creepy? And how does me being on at 10 o'clock hit to you that this is my whole life? Didn't we already have a nice discussion about assuming things? Also..resorting to personal attacks when we're discussing music is rather immature, don't yah think?
Really...you sure about that there ace? If you're implying that I worship Dave and his band, well then, wrong answer. By the way - Crash and Satellite - completely different and creatively brilliant songs. Great music, not just a fast drum beat with a punk riff...no! Talent is what I'm talking about. But thanx for your explantion, very soul searching - you got me. Not really.
Nobody was attacking your taste in music, everything is going to be alright.
My favorite DMB song is Two Step. I've heard its the best played live. I've kinda lost interest lately especially after the Everyday album. My fav album is Before these crowded streets. I love experimentation.
i like dave
well, i hate dave too. and i am pretty obsessed with music and talent and creativity thru music. so i think its just a personal preference. i find his voice annoying and twangy and nasaly and gurgle-ly. like he's got flem caught in his throat. (yes, it's THAT bad)
I love Dave Matthews, and his new central park concert CD is awesome, but I didn't really like the Some Devil CD. Have you heard "Sing Along"? I got the newest blue man group CD just for that song.
It took me a few (ok, many) times thru the cd for me to love it. I have not gotten the CP cd (yet). Now I hafta buy it, eh? I just wrote the saddest sappiest fanemail to them... Retarded, but I could NOT help it. He lives in Seattle, right?... sigh... so close yet so far... ha ha
You should definitely get the central park concert CD if you like DMB. You can get it for $14.99 at amazon.com right now.
Do you live near Seattle? I actually have an uncle in Bellevue.
haha Bellvue is/was a mental hospital in NYC! that sounded funny to me!
i went to the central park concert! boo ya
