Why Dave Matthews Sucks

CGTP13 · 10-30-2009, 09:28 PM

I'm sitting in class today and as I open my laptop the guy next to me looks at my screensaver which is the BTCS album cover. We then have this conversation

Him: Dude, Dave Matthews sucks
Me: Oh, why is that
Him: He can't sing country.
Me: WTF.

Discuss other stupid reasons why Dave "sucks".

Why is that.

I love the "Dave Matthews sucks because all his songs sound the same." Ok, and Lil Wayne's songs are full of intricate beats and complex time signatures? I think not.

My other favorite is, "the violin is SO gay!" My response: "Say that to Boyd's face and see how that ends for you."

Being a DMB fan all these years the thing I hate the most is when people assume you are a fairweather fan of the band because DMB has this sterotype of just being a bunch of drunk college kids going to a show because its a "cool thing to do". Little do they know that DMB probably has the second most die hard fanbase in the history of bands behind the dead. (I think phish Phans can't phuck with us because they are wayyyy too fickle and critical over every single note the band plays)

Stouggies · 10-30-2009, 09:38 PM

because you are on a dmb fansite asking fans to say why they might think Dave sucks, seems kind of strange to me.

You're missing the point. It's for you to post what you hear other people say about why DMB sucks.

I'm asking what other people have said to them. What stupid reasons have other people told you why they think he sucks.

yeah I was going to tell you why don't you get dressed up like Dave tomorrow for Halloween with writings on your shirt saying, I can't sing worth a shit, and walk into Millers and see what happens.

hopefully they would beat you to shit, but who knows these days.

yeah not a good idea to hate on Dave a whole lot in C'Ville.

berman1125 · 10-30-2009, 10:00 PM

dave matthews sucksssssssssssss

grace77 · 10-30-2009, 10:24 PM

Me: "I'm going to the Dave show on Friday"
Stupid A-hole: "Oh yeah? That must be a total pot-fest.. hahaha"

This is an excerpt from an actual conversation.

Socks · 10-30-2009, 10:29 PM

he has aids

Robby~C · 10-30-2009, 10:58 PM

oddly enough, a lot of the people I hear diss him, say "He's Gay" . . seriously?! and everyone refers to the opening line of SMTS as their point and case.

"I say my hell is the closet and I'm stuck inside. . . "

whyiam34 · 10-30-2009, 11:04 PM

Me: im going to the dmb concert friday and saturday
Other shithead: dude how could you like a band with a stupid violin, a shitty guitar player and horrible drumer?

i walked away in aw of his stupidity

bluesbrother41 · 10-30-2009, 11:09 PM

"his stuff is all too slow"
"cause they suck"
"cause the fans suck"

I've always wondered that myself... Either way I don't give a fuck. For their sake it would be better if he wasn't.

Rashawnsdinner · 10-30-2009, 11:12 PM

I get two responses all the time:

"His stuff all sounds the same"----1000x a year

"I hate how they just jam during the concerts, he should fucking sing. That's why I like OAR better"----500x a year, respectively

You've been to a Dave show, right?

At least they know some of the lyrics. If there's a band I don't like, I sure as hell wouldn't waste any of my time listening to their music.

Foreverford05 · 10-30-2009, 11:54 PM

Its coool to hate dmb here in this part of VA. No one knows why, they just hop on the hated wagon and run with it. Never really get any real answers on why though.

DmBand801 · 10-31-2009, 12:41 AM

Common reasons I have heard:

1. The fans suck
2. Songs sound the same
3. Dave's not that talented

andrewj063 · 10-31-2009, 01:54 AM

I told my friend that LS 41 was one of the greatest performances they have and she watched it and said it sucked because of the saxophone. Then proceeded to tell me Hide and Seek by Imogen Heap was better. That song is absolute trash.

I just listen to the band more when people tell me they suck because it makes me realize how good their music really is and how many people are missing out on it.

Off topic, but a buddy from my hometown in the Twin Cities wore a "Matthews 41" jersey to the Minnesota Wild game tonight! FTW!!!!!!!!!!

hegone7689 · 10-31-2009, 02:03 AM

When I saw that title, I thought Butch was making threads again.

The sax thing is a big issue for a lot of people. I have a friend who once told me (before Roi died) that he wanted "to strangle that saxophone player." And he's an intelligent guy with non-mainstream musical interests. I myself actually hated Roi's riff on #41 at first. I really liked #41 on Luther from the beginning, but the sax part sounded like pure cheese to me at first. To be blunt, it reminded me of "Islands in the Stream."

Roi's sound was different than any sax you'd really find in more mainstream music. Sublime has horns, but Roi was more jazzy, and to the uninitiated, it can be a turnoff.

SqueeBaBooSquee · 10-31-2009, 02:11 AM

I once caught Dave Matthews eating his own poop.

solsburyhill · 10-31-2009, 02:41 AM
