don't know how they blew up, they used to play with PB now they're getting rich. the music is pretty good at times, but the vocals are awful, brendan sounds like a whiney little boy, which completely ruined the most recent album. jake is sick, but i'm not a big fan of the band.....not until they let the breakfast tour opening for them

ill be at 10k, but i dont think im gonna spend the money to see them open for dave, im basically the only kid in my town that doesnt go to the dave show at Alpine. everybody just gets so fucked up there, i usually dont go to concerts to not remember them the next morning, and bayliss does have a bit of a whiny vocal, as far as their new cd goes, i think it could have been way better, i liked passing, and the last song, but other then that wasnt really diggin it. and sometimes Jake solos so fast, i like a slower solo but hes still amazing

ahaha i'm the same way, i hate the dave matthews band a LOT. i would never go to a dave show, though i have been at fests where he's playing i just protest, don't watch the set, drink pbr and yell about shitty music ruining the scene. should have seen me freak out when jack johnson busted out badfish at bonnaroo. i was PISSED.

^one thing that pisses me off is the elitist jam band people that complain all the time about DMB and how they are terrible music. It's okay if you dont like them, but there is no reason to always bitch about them and try to compare them to other good jam bands cause they arent one.

I used to like Dave Matthews, all his old music, but once he came out with Everday was when i pretty much stopped all together listening to him. However, on his live at central park DVD, when he does a Neil Young cover of Cortez the killer with Warren Haynes, i just about shit myself, amazing
