How often do you think Dave gets heckled on the street?

So I have come to the conclusion that I have never liked a band, that others hate more then DMB.

Really... It's almost not even worth mentioning that I like them in a group of strangers because I almost certainly will get a look of disgust by someone and have to defend my position.

Anyway, this morning I woke up and a friend of mine actually posted on his facebook status "I hate Dave Matthews, whose with me?" He had about 15 people that commented that they agree, and maybe 2 that didn't.

Because so many people out their hate DMB for whatever reason, how often do you think Dave gets heckled on the street? I am sure it has happened; by I wonder if it is rare, or rather common.

Thoughts?

I don't think non-fans recognize him on the street.

I'll bet any heckling comes from rabid fans that want to know why he doesn't play Spotlight or the 3rd verse to Grey Street. (I want the band to do both.)

Anyone who is as successful as DMB is will have many people who hate them. Just the way the world works. Remember there are still far more people who love DMB than hate them.

I really disagree with that... DMB is VERY polarizing... There isn't a lot of middle ground... In the world of music, you either love DMB or you hate them. Those that are somewhere in the middle are a much smaller % from my experience.

That's what I am thinking... But there are a lot of haters out there, and a lot of crazy people too... I know a few hard core phish fans that would probably yell something stupid at Dave if they saw him on a busy street.

So, unless they run up to Dave and punch him in the face, they're pussies?

There are a lot of bands I hate that if I were standing next to them, I wouldn't say or do anything. But that's because I'm a normal, rational human being. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I have to berate them.

Re: How often do you think Dave gets heckled on the street?

Yea I'm not a huge fan of the Jonas Bros. But more power to em I would never be an ass to someone because I didn't like their music or because their really popular. And Dave def knows he has crazy fans he's said it many times in interviews. I'm sure he's seen quite a bit of crazy in his day.

I think dave's voice is one of the factors even moreso than the music. It's unique, so it's easy to see why some really don't like it.

I guess this is easy for me to say, being a huge fan and all....but how could anyone, fan or not, actually "hate" Dave Matthews??

Re: How often do you think Dave gets heckled on the street?

im surprised im the only one to put this idea out there.... he probably isnt recognized on the street more than once a day or so. Therefore, heckling probably is nil. Do you recognize the lead singer to Oasis, everclear, OAR, etc? Probably not enough to be sure to shout out something.

Seriously, what kind of innapropriate douche would it take to run up to an artist and yell at them or heckle them? Especially a completely non controversial one. I could see Eminem or Marlyn Manson, but Dave?

Re: How often do you think Dave gets heckled on the street?

I don't understand how someone can hate a person they don't know that has done nothing wrong. They can not like them or not stand them but hate? People need lives.

Now you can hate his music, but that's not credible enough to say he should die or you hate him, or etc. I hate rap music but I don't going around wishing Kanye would get iced.

Agreed. Whenever someone mentions to me their dislike in the band, it is generally related to Dave's voice.

Fixed. "could care less" implies that you do care. I'm not trying to be a bitch here it's just a pet peeve lol.

But I totally agree with your post.

This is very true. most ppl I know that express dislike for DMB is because of his voice.



Oh, and OP all my friends rag on me all the time because of DMB. They just don't get it. But then again they all like really shitty music.

He probably get's heckled by all of those Butch Taylor fans who are pissed that he isn't in the band anymore.

All 2 of them.

I'm sure he does get heckled, hell it's mostly fans at shows who whine when Where Are You Going is played.

Still, definitely comes with the territory. Perhaps more by just crazy phish fans.

Re: How often do you think Dave gets heckled on the street?

I bet if they saw him on the street they would be like, "Woah, Dave Matthews. Thats cool."

And if they actually talked to him, they might end up liking them.

Out of my friends that love DMB, More than half of them used to hate DMB before they actually listened in depth to the music.

Some of them are still stubborn, and whenever there is a conversation regarding music, they always just bring up "oh well this person isn't as good as DAVE, right?"

-Its fairly annoying to not be able to carry on a conversation about music because you know that the argument will just be eclipsed by the sarcastic mentioning that
"Dave" or "DMB is better, right?"

Re: How often do you think Dave gets heckled on the street?

considering most people who hate Dave wouldn't eve recognize him out on the street, i'm going to say its very rare for him to get heckled. if anything, its someone who is a fan trying to get an answer to why they play something shitty.
