You know the ones. You've seen them in their concert t-shirts. How could you not? They have like 23 of them because they get one at each concert they go to. You've seen their ever-frequent status updates. "Just scored tickets to Dave on Saturday! So excited!" I've even seen some with tattoos. What is that dancing girl supposed to symbolize anyway? I like the Allman Brothers Band more than any 22 year old girl should but I'm not going to have a peach tatted on my forearm. Why? Because I'm not a retard.
Check out this whore.
I'm not sure if I can pinpoint why exactly Dave Matthews fans bother me so much. It could be because they feel the need to talk about their old pal Dave so often or it could just be the sheer fact that the vast majority of Dave Matthews super-fans I've ever come in contact with are super-douches. I've got news for ya, Dave Matthews super-fans. No one except other Dave Matthews super-fans gives a shit about Dave Matthews. I don't even hate Dave Matthews, but you and your unrelenting (and super annoying) adoration for a slightly above average artist is such a turnoff that I don't want to start liking Dave Matthews for fear that someone will mistake me for someone like you.
DON'T YOU SEE WHAT YOU"VE DONE?! Your love for Dave Matthews has pitted people against the one thing you love more than listening to Dave Matthews. Dave Matthews! Sacrilegious. You should do us all a favor and throw yourself off of a cliff for such a crime to humanity.
Let's get some things straight. Dave Matthews is not your personal friend. He has a last name. And you should start using it when you refer to him.
Dave Matthews Band is not The Beatles. He's alright. And that is all. Yes, I know you like to think that Dave is so different and innovative. You need to think again. These days, Dave Matthews Band is sounding pretty much like any other band with a shit-ton of instruments including a brass section, a couple of token black dudes and a front man with kind of a weird voice.
There is no excuse in owning more than 4 or 5 CDs of any artist. It's 2010 for Christ's sake... who even buys CD's anymore? The fact that you spend roughly $12 on every Dave Matthews CD you've ever bought (spanning from the time that you were in the tenth grade of high school and you had this one friend who was really into Dave and and so you started listening to him too and they burned you a CD with "Crash Into Me" on it and you instantly fell in love and then you just knew that you could never stop listening because Dave Matthews is awesome I mean he is just so unique) is another testament as to why you're dumb; You know you own like 15 of his 46 albums, and that adds up to a lotta dough. 46 is not an exaggeration. (Thanks Wikipedia!) And yes, I can agree that The Dave Matthews Band has a few good songs. But with those odds (46 albums times 12 songs per album equates to roughly 552 songs)... I mean, really.. one or two songs are bound to appeal to the masses.
This is an intervention! There is other good music out there! Please, for the love of God, will you play something besides Dave Matthews on this 3 hour drive. Please, will you play something besides Dave Matthews on your guitar. No one wants to listen to a 6 minute shitty acoustic version of "American Baby"... except of course for another Dave fan.
Ugh. You people really put the 'ew' in Dave Matthews.
If you really want to hear an awesome Dave Matthews cover might I recommend this little gem. Prepare yourself.
And here are some particularly pleasant Urban Dictionary finds... I particularly like 1, 4, 7, 8, and 11. And as far as the #10 description.. I guess I have NO musical taste whatsoever!
| 10. | Dave Matthews Band | |
A truly talented band. People who are musically uneducated and narrow-minded tend to hate them. Many trash them without listening to their music. CD-recordings do them no justice, if you honestly want to hear all that is "DMB", attend a live concert. Carter, Leroi, and Boyd basically make the band, with Dave's voice topping the cake. Anyone that says they are talentless has no musical taste. There's a difference between not liking a band's music and thinking they suck. "Yo, Dave Matthews Band SUCKS man! I have NO musical taste whatsoever!" | ||
No. Just a google search. And I actually wasn't aware that she had one or I would have probably thought twice about writing that part. Sorry LW! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd asshat. There is a big difference in Dave Matthews and Dave Matthews band
DeleteFirst of all she is not a whore...second..have you ever experienced a DMB concert??..lyrical and music talent beyond most anyone out there.we are true blue fans of something we simply love and see the gift of what is "GOOD MUSIC"...feel sorry for you and your lack of integrity.and it's a FIre Dancer :)
DeleteI think I know that person with the tattoo!!!
DeleteLmao! Dont bkame us because nobody taught you what real musical talent looks like. Go listen to nickleback. And dont be jealous you dont have such passion for something. Go make America Great Again
DeleteIs this girl nuts? Holy he'll woman..Dave symbolizes love..you could take note. Also...the fire dancer represents an actual fire dancer/Hensel the rings as well. I figured it was a different culture so you probably didnt know...because you are close minded.
DeleteAny whoo..
"Don't burn the day away" and
"Always be kind no matter"
-Dave matthews-
That's why we love him.
I suggest Nickleback for you!
lulz
ReplyDeleteGreat, you took a picture of your own tattoo.
ReplyDeleteWhy did the Dave Matthews fans steal the "Crane Kick" from Karate Kid as their official symbol? Ralph Macchio should be getting royalties off that shizz.
ReplyDeletei hate you
ReplyDeleteI actually really like DMB. And I refer to them as DMB on these here internets and for that reason I'm sure you will suggest I kill myself. Sigh. The superfans are very annoying, I'll give you that. I purposely ask "Dave who?" and it makes their heads explode.
ReplyDeleteNo. DMB is actually a really good band.
ReplyDeleteYou stink
ReplyDeleteYou're the reason the Beatles broke up.
ReplyDeleteI'll bet you sleep on a sponge because you cry yourself to sleep every night
ReplyDeleteMy dog doesnt even like you. And my dog likes everybody.
ReplyDeleteWhat are you 12?
ReplyDeleteAnd you're the reason "Dave super fans" are misinterpreted. How about you, God forbid, go to a show and see why everyone loves them. Nice job stealing that photo also.
ReplyDeleteWow this article sucks. You put a lot of effort in to bashing fans and a band you clearly know nothing about. Go screw.
ReplyDeletesomeone needs to get a hold of Christina's Dr. clearly off her meds again. Maybe the mental institution she calls home should moderate what gets posted to the internet.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry...what exactly makes her a whore??? Urban Dictionary defines whore as "A woman that sleeps with everyone but YOU!!!!! " so what about her tattoo gives you insight on her sexual history...or is it that you're just bitter about the "everyone but YOU" part?
ReplyDeletesomeone needs to get a hold of Christina's Dr. clearly off her meds again. Maybe the mental institution she calls home should moderate what gets posted to the internet.
ReplyDeleteYou have shown just how rude, immature, and unintelligent you are by calling a perfect stranger a whore and using the term retard. That term is really hateful.
ReplyDeleteWow I love people like you. Just cause I don't understand or appreciate a bands sound doesn't mean I have to trash them or write stupid blogs about it. What have you done thats so great? How many shows have you sold out? Do you even know how to play an instrument? Ive been a dave fan since 93. I also like techno, metal, country, hip hop, classical, and so much more in between. I play bass guitar, and produce edm music, and dj. Most people I know that like dave have a wide variety of tastes in music. Just cause you dont have good taste in music and talent doesnt mean we have to follow suit. People like you amaze me, cause you have no taste in music but like to voice that you do. Each to their own tho I guess. We are all allowed to have our own opinions. But I greatly disagree with your's. And I loove the generalizations you anti-dave people make since you know all of us so well.
ReplyDeleteThe one good thing about this article? You can reprint it and use it as the toilet paper it deserves to be. DAVE loves recycling.
ReplyDeleteYou have alot of time on your hands. At least dave fans dont go out of their way to be complete retarded jealous dousches
ReplyDeleteSlanderous article, poorly thought out and poorly executed. You should stop "writing" altogether
ReplyDeleteDid u write this on acid? What toolshed..way to waste ur time on something, even dave haters, don't give a shit about..above avg band bahahahaha go check ur self on where each member is rated on all time lists at there respected instrument..lol wow, id be pretty embarrassed
ReplyDeleteDon't quit ur day job
ReplyDeleteWhy are you being so negative? It's just a bunch of people enjoying good music, no need to be so mean about it. DMB brings people together in a positive way and you have no right to bash that. If you dislike us so much, don't hang out with us or go to Dave shows. And I think that girl's tattoo is AWESOME. Sorry you're not passionate about music like we DMB fans are - you're really missing out on something great.
ReplyDeleteWho says it's a girls tattoo?? Could be a transvestite or a drag queen......and why does a person with a Dave Matthews Band have to be a whore?? Someone sounds like they need a good stiff one
ReplyDeleteYou just wasted your time and energy writing this hate filled article about something that brings people so much happiness. There are so many more interesting things to write about in the world. Pick one and go with it and stop filling the world with this garbage. Because as much as you can't stand "Dave" and his fans, at least they stand for something positive unlike this dirty diaper you have written!
ReplyDelete"There is no need to own more than four or five cds of any artist“ -spoken like a true music fan. There are probably thirty or more bands I own at least 8 or 10 of their albums. This blogger has issues. She probably dated one "superfan" and they were a tool or left her and now she's full of vitriol. Not all fans of any band anywhere are awesome people, but she picks on Dave Matthews fans because she knows we won't hunt her down and kick her ass, we're an easy target. Critics are what's wrong with this world, not Dave Matthews, his band, or his fans.
ReplyDeleteI just had to chime in. This guy's a douche. As far as the pic is concerned, if there is a photo on google and it's not copyrighted than its fair use. However, how can anyone bash fans that believe or enjoy something like the DMB. You could certainly write a very similar article about religion, but you haven't, have you? People like what they want. Music means something different to each person. If one can find meaning in a song and associate lyrics or a part of the music to their life then that's amazing! Dave Matthews has a gift. He is talented in his lyric writing ability and is able to play an instrument at the same time. Oh yeah, he just happened to be surrounded by a bunch of other fantastic musicians that play their heart and out on each note. I'm a super fan, and I'm not afraid to admit it. I have a tattoo where I incorporated part of Dave Matthews into its design. I have 20 actually, many involve music that in some way shape or form has either helped me though a tough time or I've been able to relate lyrics to a specific event in my life. I guess your next blog will be to bash phish fans as well. Like whatever you want. Real Dave Matthews Band fans would appreciate the fact that you at least stand for something and can appreciate music. Why don't you go grab an Allman brothers peach and shove it where the sun don't shine. Thank you, that is all.
ReplyDeleteJohn, nice comment~ TOUCHE'! You and I share many of the same views. My post is on the very bottom (as of now) and I just came across yours and couldn't agree with you more!
DeleteDo you really hate them if you spent all of this time writing about them?
ReplyDeleteThis really is the most ridiculous thing I have ever read.
ReplyDeleteChristina, did you know DAVID MATTHEWS and Greg Allman collaborated on stage and killed it? And who the hell are you to call one of our own a "whore" simply because she has a tattoo you don't admire? I'm sure you've heard you're ignorant and have neither a clue nor your facts straight. Why the hell spend so much time on something you claim to hate?!? Get a grip, crazy!!!!
ReplyDeleteNobody gives a rats ass what u like. We are a family and love what we love and if u cant handle it tough shit go find another band like nickelback to make fun of. We stand by our thoughts and views and love for this band. Just cause u want to see nkotb every summer gives u no right to voice ur thoughts and opinion on shit u don't know.
ReplyDeleteChristina, how did you get to be so hateful? You could learn much from the loving, live and let live attitude that DMB fans share. Also, the R word you used shows your ignorance. I truly wish no one you know ever has mental disabilites. My 18 year old CP son has more sense and manners than you do little girl!
ReplyDeleteyou stole a girls picture and called her a whore, because that wasn't unnecessary at all.
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you are calling out an entire group of people because the love a band is completely ridiculous. I wont lie I am a huge fan but I would not consider myself or any of my friends who also love dMb to be douche bags. This "article" was a huge waste of my time and I will never get that time back so thanks a lot.
I hope you have a great day and enjoy jamming to your favorite Nickelback song.
Get yourself a cocktail and chill out. You can't possibly feel good or happy carrying around all that hate for your fellow humans.
ReplyDeleteIn 10 years you'll look back and realize who the real douchebag was.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone do actual research before they write anymore? As a teacher, I teach my 7th graders not to use Wikipedia for research. They too might come back and recount "facts," using multiple sentence fragments to make incorrect points using incorrect information. But then again... They are only 7th graders.
ReplyDeleteSpewing so much ugliness and hatred for a band and their fans whose MOTTO is LoVE? I pity you so much. You must be this little tight ball of self hatred. Please come to a show and see what it feels like to mingle with a bunch of people from all walks of life who believe in the love that the band shares at every concert. Seriously, "whore and cunt". Didn't anyone ever teach you how awful those words are? Sweetheart, get some help. Life can be sweet if you let it.

ReplyDeleteBaahaaahaaaaaa Nickleback
ReplyDeleteYou need to get laid.
ReplyDeleteSad that you've never quite felt like you were part of something. Alone can be miserable. MAy your children be big DMF fans, if you are ever able to have any, that is.
ReplyDeleteYou are a TWAT WAFFLE!!! How dare you call her a stupid whore. You don't know her. So sad you are effing pathetic.
ReplyDeletewhy everything is terrible, aren't you a ray of sunshine. guess it's your blog so do what you want. i guess you haven't met enough "dave" fans to get a good perspective. i also assume your judgmental ways have helped you discern between good people and good music for all of your 22 years on this earth. all hail, dip shit kid with a blog and an opinion.
ReplyDeleteChristina, THANK YOU for the awesome gratitude check! I'm so thankful I'm open minded, respectful, educated and above all else, kind. I wish you luck as you blindly navigate the small world you've created for yourself. <3

ReplyDeleteDoes the little GIRL who attempted to write this article realize that it's an epic fail on her part? It's incredulous to me that someone who knows NOTHING about DMB would have the audacity to TRY and form a debate. There will always be haters in this world because misery truly does love company. I think it's funny that "Crash" is the only song she could name. This GIRL is obviously an extremely insecure, unhappy person~who obviously does not have a fulfilling life. If you hate DMB so much, why waste your time with your futile attempt to write this article? Yes, I can call him "Dave" because he's a close friend that I have known for years. Maybe she's just jealous because she cannot see DMB live? I have seen DMB 94 times and there's a reason they've continually been the top touring band for well over 20 years. Perhaps Christina is 15 years old and tone deaf? If she gets back on her BiPolar medication maybe I'll buy her a Justin Bieber ticket so she can be with her people. Her audacity in writing this article makes me feel sorry for her. Obviously she is extremely insecure, unhappy, and feels the need to criticize people that she has never and will never meet. I feel bad for Christina because she obviously lives a miserable existence. Christina is too sheltered to know that there is a GREAT BIG WORLD out there with amazing life experiences! If you don't like a certain band then don't listen to them. If you don't like a tattoo don't look at it and don't steal a picture that doesn't belong to you. Do you need money for your medication? If so, I will gladly give it to you because you clearly need to be mentally stabilized. I wish you maturity and the ability to travel so you may experience LIFE. Maybe exposure to a different culture will inspire you to get a life. Good luck because you have a extraordinary wake-up call. There is a thing called THE LAW OF ATTRACTION...I would do a little research if I were you. I'd also be very terrified if I were you! Try to expand your closed mind and challenge yourself. Your anger, hurt, & pain is palpable. LIFE IS FABULOUS! Sorry you're such a miserable soul. I will pray for you : )
ReplyDeleteNice ; )
ReplyDeleteThis blog is amazing. My favorite part is where you talk about not hating his music. It does suck not being able to enjoy some of his music because if you even mention a song, 12 "Dave" fans emerge from the shadows to say something like "you don't even know, you should hear the live version from Red Rock, August 7, 1997. You don't even know, bro, you don't even know." F off.

ReplyDeleteSo. Basically you had a summer of Dave and then your boyfriend who introduced you to Dave cheated on you while listening to Dave after a Dave show because the girl was at the Dave show that you weren't into because it was a Dave show said boyfriend took you to and that whore is the girl he cheated on you with because she stayed, American baby? and now you're upset that she literally crashed into him because his belly bellys full, and you can't even because you don't know what a fire dancer is.. Funny the way it is - but no one told you don't drink the water because your sister laughed and then she was stolen away on 55th and 3rd after a night at the gorge or spac or alpine... You have so much to say so much to say so much to say so much to say? You are so mad and now all he has is busted stuff... But hey you proclaimed how much you hate Dave like #41 times and maybe if you would stop for one second and realize not everyone has to love Dave ... You would see that we don't really care too much ... And you should just remember two things ... Two step your ass the fuck off Dave and say goodbye ...
ReplyDeleteDid I get it right in this typical situation or am I trippin billies?
You should start your own blog! We all should and we could blog about what this Christina is blogging about..
DeleteMolly, so very well said sister.
Delete:) dmb is life. and obviously she has a lackluster one.

ReplyDeleteYes!!!
ReplyDeleteI love "Dave" and have for like 22 years. I genuinely believe that no one, not even his mother, loves him as much. Some of the fans absolutely are ruining it. I hate them. It's like they have to be obnoxious about how much they love him and it isn't even that they do, they love the act of loving him. They're ugly losers with nothing else valid in their lives so they have to go to every show, wait all night and morning, fight for the front and never let anyone else have a chance, while believing they OWN that rail and that right. They judge each other by how many shows they've been to. So ridiculous. I wish Those fake asses would find something else to obsess about. They have this thing they do where they attempt to know all the words to every song and belt it out the entire concert, while acting out even lyric and singing to each other while head banging. I still want to vomit.
