Re: Will DMB get the Rolling Stone cover for the album?

DMB is a cult band. they are huge in their own right. but they aren't Coldplay. or Radiohead. or U2. i think they were in 98. even in the early millenium. but stand up and the whole "no album since the shittiest thing we have ever seen" thing, has brought them way down.
they will defenitely be on the cover though. they are huge in USA. and they have as good a resume as anyone. they have sold more tickets in the last decade than everyone on the planet (excluding the rolling stones) and that is a fact.
they haven't had much for little girls singing "your body is a wonderland" or "yellow" which has brought their popularity down. to be a household name they need a big hit. like crash into me was. that song was huge. so was where are you going.

    My point being, there is no doubt in my mind they will get the cover...unless the album is absolute shit, they will most certainly be on the cover.[/quote]
    they put them on the cover after stand up dude. lol. they'll put em on the cover for "absolute shit."

    they are america's biggest band. in their last cover story RS called dave the "biggest rockstar in america." funny how they never give 'em good reviews though.
    they'll be on there i bet.

    never? Busted Stuff review wasnt bad.
    BTCS review was a good review
    Stand Up review.... truth
    Everyday- positive review
    Crash- Meh....not the greatest review. I bet they have changed their opinion that album

    they've never gotten above 3.5 stars. in my opinion that isn't great. Coldplay has averaged at least 3.5. Radiohead has averaged 4+ stars. John Mayer has gotten 4 stars on all of his.
    i think they DMB deserves more credit for their first three albums.

    U2, Chili Peppers, Radiohead, hell, even country bands like Rascal Flatts are more popular (however you want to define popular). Besides, bands is a limiting term. If you want to say biggest musical acts, which is a more accurate metric, then they're not even in the top 20 anymore. Maybe to you and me, but after the summer is done and the concerts are over, who besides the hardcore fans that have been around for more than decade pay attention to DMB?

    So yeah, I think they'll get a RS cover because its their first new album in four years, one that has an interesting backstory and was completed after a member passed away. Its a good story and it should be a cover, but it's the "Americas biggest band" thing I took issue with.
    they're ninth on the top selling list of albums since 1991. obviously U2, and Radiohead are bigger. they are bigger than anyone.
    but DMB holds their own. they have sold more tickets in the past 10 years than ANYONE, except for the rolling stones. so yeah. i am pretty sure they are in the running for one of the biggest bands. top 10 around today.

    They count the live releases (in stores like Best Buy, Borders etc) in that list too though. That helps out the stats ALOT.

    It does not help out "ALOT". None of their live albums have sold shit in years. Radio City and Piedmont Park together did not even hit 300,000.

    But if you add both RRs, Folsom, LiC, LS, MH, the Live Trax that made it to stores, L@LC, Central Park, BOWA Vol 1, it adds up. Thats a lot of supplemental album sales that most bands don't have since they don't do a lot of live albums. True, the numbers may not be great at all but if you were to spread them over just the 6 studio albums then they would be looking really good.

    Critically overall, isn't BS their best reviewed album? And Rolling Stone changes their mind on albums all the time, just because they become popular. The brown spots on my toilet paper after it ends it's meeting with my ass are more valuable than Rolling Stone's dribble.

    I think Green Day is gonna get the next cover...they got a solid review for 21st century breakdown as well. Got 4.5 stars from rolling stone, calls the album epic, and makes American Idiot look like a warm up.

    Actually, the Jonas Blothers are on a decline.... Miley Cyrus took back her reign on top. hahaha. I can't stand the Jonas Brothers or Miley.. just saying that because PerezHilton posted something about it recently.

    unfortunately this doesnt matter very much as i'm positive the gossip girls and the asshats from the hills didnt release albums recently. RS spends a lot of cover space on not music these days. glad bobby dylan got the last one though

    I'm with you on this. Green Day is getting a lot of publicity for this new album. I don't see dmb on the cover for this album. Thier popularity has plummeted since around 2003-04.

    Considering where they were and where they are now, i most definitely think so. Look at the ticket demand now compared to late 90s, early 2000s. In some cases, they are playing smaller venues. It's too be expected of a band that does extensive tours every year though.

    As the general public about songs like Crash, Ants Marching etc. and they will know them. I'd bet a lot of these people have no clue about anything post Everyday. At least my friends don't.

    As far as the Rolling Stone cover goes, I just think someone like Green Day caters more to the Rolling Stone audience. I'm a Green Day-hater. However, I can't deny Green Day has much more mass apeal than DMB in 2009. In 1998, that's a different story.

    Now, I LOVE DMB and Dave, but ot try to say that they are the biggest band and he is the biggest rockstar in america right now?
    Absolutely ridiculous.

    Just because you love someone doesn't mean everyone does, and people who think that they/he are these things needs to just turn on the radio and that will change their opinion. And if you say "radio doesnt mean anything"; yes it does because we are talking about mainstream success and that is what RS wants.

    All that said I still think theyll get the cover haha

    Re: Will DMB get the Rolling Stone cover for the album?

    I've read through a lot of this thread and I think it's very likely that they'll get the cover...to think otherwise defies logic. It's their first major album in years, the one first since Roi passed, and they always get the cover when they release an album.

    The "biggest band in America" debate is an interesting one. I think it's probably a bit of a stretch to call them THE biggest band in America, they are definitely near the top.

    When you say "Dave Matthews Band," almost everyone knows what who you're talking about. They can probably name a song or two, or will at least recognize some of them.

    Someone mentioned the Jonas Brothers as being more "significant." Seriously? Go around to strangers and ask them about the Jonas Brothers and the Dave Matthews Band. I guarantee you that DMB and their music will get better recognition across the board. Unless you're asking people at a Jonas Brothers concert.

    Aside from maybe U2, DMB is the best touring band in the country. Simply put, they sell more tickets than anyone. They may play more shows, but the numbers wouldn't be so big if they didn't pack 'em in every night. Let's match DMB and Springsteen and their respective recent ances in Charlottesville at the John Paul Jones Arena. I know it isn't completely fair because it's DMB's homtown, but it still makes my point. DMB filled the place two nights in a row and the price of Springsteen tickets were dropped to $20 because they couldn't fill the place for one night. Moreover, DMB always sells a lot of cds. Name recognition alone, not to mention immesne fan loyalty, contributes to this in a big way. "Hey, man, did you pick up the new Dave Matthews cd today?"

    Overall, I think it's fair to say that DMB is less significant now than they were 10 years ago, simply because UTTAD and BTCS > Everyday and Stand Up. To say that they are not significant, however, is just off base.

    it depends on the album honestly. If it turns out to be amazing, it will sell extremely well. If it sells extremely well, RS will put DMB on the cover because they in turn, will sell. So if the album is awesome they will be on the cover lol.
