What's up with all these Dave Matthews clones?

I suggest that people who keep ragging on DMB listen to some of their earlier stuff. They really have their own sound that is pretty well developed and original. Sort of a jazz-fusion combined with rock. Besides, who uses a violinist in a stage band? Furthermore the musical talents of each individual in the group is just astounding, whether you like their style and music or not, that's hard to deny.

Jazz Fusion? If I wanted to hear some good Jazz Fusion it sure wouldn't be DMB. I'd take a Joe Jackson Concert over a Fan Boy DMB Concert

Who's idea was it to take a crap on the Xerox machine and press copy?

That doesn't actually work, you know. Neither does the Bud Light trick. I tried it.

by the time they really started to explore (Let It Be, The White Album, Sgt Pepper's) is, IMO, not coincidentally the same time that they really started to lose their steam.

That's pure unadulterated Bullsh!t. They were on Top till the Day they disbanded and actually for a few years afterwards. DMB shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath as the Beatles and many other great groups. DMB, John Mayer and the rest of that genre is just whitebread monotonous music that's popular with the generic crowd. They are like the Liza Minelli's of Rock n Roll

I think that Red Dawn must have been raped in the ass by a DMB fan or something...b/c he JUST won't let it go.

Some people will make a jab and let it be...Red Dawn keeps coming back for more, like he was deeply wounded in some way. Red Dawn, we have support groups for people like you. I'll get you some help...I won't let you fall through the cracks. WE'RE HERE FOR YOU!!!

What ever you say Darius

Darius?

Well it's pretty clear you've got a rather jaded view or a grudge against DMB for some reason. Not really worth arguing.
