DMB fans.

Yeah...you aint kidding....his fans are fucking zombies..."Daaaave is coming"

I find DMB incredibly boring, but I think Nirvana is worse.

Totally agree on the cookie monster singers. :lol:

And not a big Marilyn Manson fan, but have to say though, his cover of Tainted Love isn't half bad. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eTcPIAewhMg

Stevew2 answered the question perftectly. Friga's solo stuff (and any Journey song he sings).

Though I dislike most DMB, this is an exception. Actually, a very poignant song.

Never got DMB....I understand that he surrounds himself with great musicians....but that's not what this is about. Those that think it's about the masturbatory expressions of the individual musician, listen to prog, don't shower often, and if they've had sex before, it's either 5 fingers or 5 hundred pounds...

John Mayer, who gets compared to DMB, probably because of the fluttering quality of both of their voices, is nothing like DM. He's got talent....boatloads of it. He might showcase some of it in the wrong places, i.e. pop songs....but anyone who's heard his more underground blues stuff will agree that the guy belongs in the same stratosphere as Derek Trucks, Joe Bonnamassa, etc.

The comments disparaging Bruce Springsteen are just fucking dump. While I don't like everything the man has done....there's no denying that he's a fucking icon.

+1 It's JM's commercial work I don't like. He is very talented, but I feel he's wasting his abilities on the stuff he produces for the mass market. Oh well, I guess the guy's got to make a buck, and people do seem to like it. But his talent really shines when he's playing the type of music he loves, the blues.

While I'm not a huge DMB fan, they do have some really good songs. And their drummer, Carter Beauford, is extremely good. He's worth the price of admission alone. They put on a phenomenal live show. Generally at least two-and-a-half hours, plus the setlist is dynamic. It's completely different every night. They aren't afraid to shelve their "biggest" hits for any given night. When you see them live you seriously have no idea what they are going to play. It makes seeing them multiple times on a tour completely worth it.

Always loved Springsteen's music. The energy he and his band creates on stage is unbelievable (at least watching it on a tv screen). I may finally get to see him this fall.

Can't stand his politics, but love his music. I'll have to get really gassed to feel the love of his politics though.

The Doors are worse to me than DMB. I have to turn the channel if they come on the radio. Like screechs on a chalkboard for me. Not sure why, but I hate it.

Steve, why do you hate Jon so much? Did he steal your Journey gig? Was that supposed to be you up on that stage? I don't get it, bro. The man is super talented (& super cute, too.) I could do without the yellow outfit but then again, how many times have we had to look at Perry's yellow leopard print shirt? (His fave shirt, btw.) :roll:

What's worse than Dave Matthews Band? Nickelback, Staind, Flyleaf, ICP. Also every single emo band.

The list goes on. The musicians in the Dave Matthew's band are excellent. I agree that there aren't any good hooks, but at least they can play.

YES, almost forgot Nirvana. The very definition of overrated, in my opinion. Old school rap is still cool, though... not the new ringtone/money praising shit. I Recently have warmed up to Manson, which is a complete shock to me, and "cookie monster" singers... well depends on the type of growling vocals, some work, most don't. There are some bands like that that are absolutely AMAZING, but you have to be able to get past the initial distaste of the growling, which it honestly took me a while to do.

COLDPLAY!

Or as I like to call them, the world's most successful U2 tribute band. On SNL right now - Geez, the guy has copped nearly all of Bono's stage moves!

by **Demi** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 8:04 am

I agree with Coldplay and Mariah Carey and will add Jessica Simpson to the list!!

by **journeygirl** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 8:16 am

I don't like DMB, JM or Coldplay. I caught about the last 5 minutes of SNL last night and was wondering what the hell was wrong with Chris Martin, (Is that his name)? I just don't get these kinds of bands. Not my thing.

Not that this is a new revelation for me, but good lord, he just came on Palladia and I just don't fucking get it. Not a lick of singing chops, hardly any hooks or even attempts at hooks (the guy fucking opens up playing the same acoustic riff thirty times in unison with the violin player - even my wild ass kitten fell asleep), and nothing great about the instrumentation.

Speaking of instrumentation, I think it's hilarious that these guys get classified as a "jam band." They couldn't carry the water of real jam bands like Allman Brothers, Phish, or even a more contemporary band like moe. They suck dick and their popularity is truly appalling.

2 Dave Matthews Bands?

Or John Mayer? How about Hootie And The Blowfish? Plenty of bland ass bands out there that get attention for just being boring

Hootie wasn't as bad as they were made out to be. Their first album just got played to death.

Here's a couple tunes from their 3rd that I liked.

Well because of the guitar and the article say "he", I'm going to guess:

John Mayer

If not him, my only other guess would be Jeff Beck? But wait, he's not bland so ya got me.

Oh, I was only looking at the 1st pic, I see the answer at the bottom. Good to see it wasn't Beck.

Whats worse than the Dave Mathews band?
Hearing people whine and cry over the same bull shit day after day,
Its like a fucking broken record!!!!!

I bought their album a few years ago, because they're supposed to be the hottest thing. Meh ... not my cup of tea. Everything you described is about what I thought after sitting through it. I felt like taking it back and demanding my money back. I don't get their popularity, either. Other bands like U2 ... Coldplay ... I can kind of see why.
