On Dave Matthews,

[messiah2012]

Did his career officially end when his tour bus dumped(pun intended) it's septic system into the, I believe, Chicago river? Is that what did it? Was it in the crapper before this incident?

2. DMB = DAMN this Music's Bland.

Sorry, I tried. Lots of talent writing painfully ordinary music. It's mostly happy-sappy, feel-goodsy BS.

3. They should have stayed a college bar band.

4. I honestly think his shelf-life just expired

How many other bands from that era have sustainability?

He was the hip happening thing at the time but his moment's over.

At least he got a longer ride than Hootie and the Blowfish.

5. I think that just coincided with their taking a break after YEARS of touring

See here in Richmond we get issued Dave Mathews CDs
:bounce:

Not really but he did start out in Charlottesville and here in Richmond (Wednesday night at the Flood Zone) so there is a home town feel to him.

Great guy from what I hear. Bourbon drinker. I think it was just time for them to step back for a while and clean out the shoe closet.

6. They hit a wall with me when he picked up an electric guitar

I mean seriously, does Glen Ballard ruin everything he touches (with the exception of Jagged Little Pill)?????

7. With all due respect

but fuck you. They are still one of the best live shows out there.
