If you ever hit the real big time, what Dave song would you cover?

[davebgeydfsh24]

Well, I myself would redo Little Thing, and make it as a single for one of my future albums. what about you?

[chrisbsmusic]

Crash, has a lot of potential to alter it

guitars

[Zio DMB]

Big Eyed Fish

cuz it's fun to play the slow riff

[beeker20]

I think I would definately have to cover lie in our graves simply because there is so much you can do with the jam in the middle of the song. And I would have to say that crush runs a close second.

[Rob]

I would let him cover me :lol

[phishstone41]

I wouldn't cover a dave song...but if i did, it would probably be dreaming tree....

[DavePolnick]

I've already made up my mind that I will do 1 Dave cover at every show just to show my appreciation for him having such a part of my musical growth.

Dave

[sk8kay]

I would definitely cover LIOG or #41

[giddy]

JTR or Rapunzel....i'd wanna pick a good and upbeat song, but something not too familiar

[scoot_14]

Big Eyed Fish

[Anvilman]

Big Eyed Fish - its got such a strong message behind it, and could be done so many ways

Seek up... yup

[AnUprightMan]

Jimi thing.

[Unholy Day]

The Stone or SMTS...his best riffs IMO

[DreamingTree34]

I don't think I'd cover a full DMB song...I'd throw a partial song in a jam an outro or an intro...or toss a few lyrics in randomly at shows...even though Dave is amazing, I wouldn't wanna be liek Howie Day or someone where people come to your shows requestin songs that aren't yours...it's rude...like Dave w/ Freebird...I wouldn't want to be known as someone who does a kickass Dave cover..just my opinion:)

[jh460]

id do song that jane likes cuz its a wicked good song that can sound so different even though he doesnt play it a lot and i would want to bring it back. either that or JTR.

[threedaysdwn]

Hard to say, since right now I cover lots of 'em.

Probably Ants, Two Step, or LIOG.

I'd probably end up covering two ;)

[Drez7]

I would have to play Say Goodbye...always a classic, the crowd would love it for sure!

[DMBandrea]

i second the Song That Jane Likes- i just love playing this song and i like the harmonies and its just opverall very fun, a friend and iplay it and its sonds great:)

[jtq_99]

Grey Street
One Sweet World

Definately 41!

[nancies4132]

Minarets, Pig, Recently, godammit, every single one (except I Did It, I wouldn't do it!)

[HaikuWarrior]

i think i would cover halloween...that song is so good for letting out aggression, it's so raw and beast-like. i absolutely love it.

[sierrazulu4]

Pay for what you get. That tune never gets enough props.

[gcom007dmb]

I would cover lots of his songs just for fun. I would never do more than one a show and I won't do them every show, but I would love to do many of his songs, especially his earlier ones.

[TheMarchingAnt]

i would cover LIOG or 41.

[Snappy181]

I would do a cover of a cover... :lol

i.e. Angel from Montgomery, The Maker, Wild Horses, etc..

[norm6269]

what i have done before and prolly will continue to do in my future shows is to do a DMB intro and DMB outro

im currently working on the Take It, Break It jam, it is real fun

i actually did Norweigan Wood, and threw in PFWYG also

[thejaydonns]

best of what's around
warehouse
pig
last stop
rhyme
tripping

i like playing all those
with my suad

[dleemiller]

[BustedMachead]

#41 would be the only thing I'd wanna cover. It's not my favorite song, but it's just seems right. But I would never, ever put it on a CD or release it live. I don't know what it is, but I hate it when artists release songs of other artists that are still alive. Covering is one thing, releasing it live or in studio is another. It's that other I don't agree with. Dunno why.

How bout covering Dave's version of All Along the Watchtower?

Have you ever listened to dylan's version? Sooooo much different than daves, and I like daves version better.

so you hate DMB to an extent then?:rolleyes:

[djmmjd]

I think I would just come out and play a different song every once in awhile acoustically....since I basically know all of them.

[DmBaNtSMaRcH#41]

I would play a variety of dmb covers but hers wht i would do solo covers :

#40
Everyday(#36)
Halloween
Grey Street
Granny
Crush


And maybe a few others but i like playing those songs. And sometims maybe do #40--->Everyday(#36)

but thats by neil young


id cover lie in our graves or one sweet world with the cool intro

[dnkband]

I'd cover "Grey Street". I'd get off the piano and pick up a twelve string guitar and invite my special guest, Carter Beauford, to come sit in with the band. We would do it the old school way with the double chorus at the end and I'd sing the earlier lyrics because I don't like the new ones as much. Then we would jam it out for about an hour or so and I'd relish every second of it.

[Erich]

if i ever wanted to cover dave, i would do gravedigger. But i dont think i would want to cover dave. i would go out and jam the shit out of lesser known songs that are out there from cool band...

[gibsonchet]

Since you quoted me, you also drew your own conclusion to what I'm saying. I said, "I hate it when," meaning, I don't enjoy, not too fond of, and don't feel the need for bands to release covers of songs while the artists are still alive. I never said that I hated the band that releases the songs. And no I don't hate DMB to an extent, but I do hate you fully.

So take your :rolleyes: and shove it.

[dnkband]

Damn - easy Tiger.

[DreamingTree34]

:rolleyes:

well you HATE IT WHEN DMB realese The Maker, Watchtower, Long Black Vail.and any others I forgot?

Cuz they did exactly what you dislike bands doing...


:lol

[gibsonchet]

Quote:well you HATE IT WHEN DMB realese The Maker, Watchtower, Long Black Vail.and any others I forgot?

Yes...this is true. Thank you for retyping what I just stated(the need for that was?)...it was very informative for me to read my own feelings that I previously discloused.

Actually, long black veil isn't that bad when covered, mainly due to it being more of a "campfire song." You know, one without an offical original owner, to my knowledge. Yes, I do hate it when they release THE MAKER and WATCHTOWER. The maker to me just gets on my nerves. Live, watchtower's okay. So thanks realizing I don't have DMB, I just would prefer them to keep covers off albums. But hey, they're the band, I just listen. They'll do what they want. In concert, it's fine, just leave it off the record.(Of course I understand that if they release a live show with a cover in the set, they can't help that; still doesn't mean I like it.):raven

[dnkband]

...it was very informative for me to read my own feelings that I previously discloused.


Discloused huh…? Do you mean disclosed: revealed, unveiled, divulged, made known, and so on. If you’re going to be a smart ass at least spell your words correctly.

Gibsonchet, relax, take a deep breath before you respond and don't take yourself quite so seriously. These are just a few of my suggestions. I hope that the disclousure of my feelings hasn't upset you further.

[gibsonchet]

I'm just going to walk away from this.

[dleemiller]

relax guys,
no need to get on eachother's case
close your eyes and
listen to pnp for some cool down! thats what i do.

[Sax4Ever]

All of you guys are assholes. I think in his first post he said he hated it when band's publicly release a cover song on an LP. And as for the whole spelling thing just shove the alphabet up your ass. If you have problems with the way people spell perhaps you should submit an application to the mods as a professional spell checker. I'm sure they are always looking forward to having one more person (regardless if they are a schmuck or not) aboard. Now, onto MY thoughts that are from MY head, because I'm CAPITALIZING so maybe you'll UNDERSTAND. As much as I like the cover songs that Dave does, I would never see any point of them putting in on a CD. Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard has got to be one of the most underrated cover song that they play, and I love what they did with it. But still, its a cover and it belongs with the unreleased songs where it should be. Anyone wonder why JTR wasn't released? Hmmmm? A little John the Revelator? Cover song? Anyone ever heard? Ok, well maybe not. But still, fact of the matter reminds I would never publicly release any cover song regardless of how good a band sounds. Now on a personal level, I run a Dave Matthews Cover Band at school and we play alot of his songs just for fun. It's entertaining and influences the band throughout the college. We've considered writing our own songs and have been talked to by a few companies about signing to a label, but nothing concrete yet. Still, I couldn't see putting a Dave song on the album because it would be extremly tacky and people would stereotype us and never appreciate our original music. "Just another Dave wannabe" would be the catch phrase, and for anyone who has listened to the band, you would see we are far from that typecast as we branch off onto our own ideas. So in conclusion, blow me.

i guess some people just love to post 'you guys all suck' replies

but then again, i guess the porn freak is so much better than anyone here

ohh, and we really shouldnt get on people's cases about the spelling, after all, some people's fingers are just too sticky to press the right keys

Thanks for reading the first three sentences of my post. Oh and your porn-freak stereotypes were just pure genius! Keep reaching for that rainbow sparky!

:) Eat a dick :)

[Mathers420]
