to the boy i met on chatroulette (didn't get your name)...my internet cut out :( if you ever read this... please reply, i'd really like to talk to you again... :( xoxoxo
Dave was born in South Africa (Johannesburg), lived there for 2 years, moved to New York, England, then New York again, then Africa again, left because of the military draft after high school because of his pacifism to New York a last time, then Virginia where the band stuff began.
Rumor is that they were planning on playing Too Much (The current single at the time) but switched last minute to play #41. A standard live #41 is like 9+ minutes long, they had to cut a lot from the song to fit it in the ~4 minutes that musical acts are given on these types of shows.
I was 17 in my dorm room at college when I first watched this. They look so different and I'm definitely different, but it's the music that's the same. I love them with all of my heart.
you're so rigth ! its simply amazing how people change and their music still the same, thats why their so unique and we keep listenig to their music! *
I love how he changes the sound of a song so there is like a hundred verisons. Never the same exact sound every time he performs it. FUCK he is a musical god.

pats2732.....have you ever seen this band live or heard any of their live music....they mess up and sometimes it is big....like stop the whole song big...so to say that they never mess up is kinda ludacris...don't get me wrong favorite band and have a ton of their stuff...mostly unreleased live stuff...but they do mess up
so when the snapper went to hide in his big shell we all thrust our cocks in a hole and fucked it for at least twenty minutes as i felt the rough edges of its shell on my cock along with the pleasant feelin of the soft turtle flesh when the head of my dick pokes against it. we all came and the last one of us to get off got to drink it as a prize for havin the most stamina. i thought the turtle had drowned in cum for a minute there til it poked out burping up a cum bubble
it wuz the best when his 4 buddies show up. let me explain why this is so great... snapping turtles have 6 holes in their shells. two for their legs 2 for their arms one for rtheir tails and a last one for their heads. that means all 6 of us had an available orifice in the shell to put our dicks in (at least when the turtle isnt hidin in its shell and instead is playin a fiesty game of snapping on yer shaft)
Hey reptile stud,I see Your proud Non- conformists I now its tough living on societies fringe. Please join the 'cause' and take your little wee-wee babymaker over to lemmings, then raise your offspring with your solid democratic values! try to skip welfare and stay to raise your offspring with your solid values, the Democrats need even more diversity! Keep up the solid work!
Reading you sex story below made me think of the ASSet you could do for the good of the Democratic party Simply give uo on reptiles and dead animals and use lemmings...Not just spreading the wealth but your mentality...just think of the possibilities for your cause and desires
after we got off in the deer and pumped it full of skeet sauce, we were still hungry to get off more so after briefly 69in one another in the truck and buttfuckin each other also Cletus pointed out a snappin turtle by a nearby creek. i released my hold on his overalls and took my dick out of his rectum in our doggystyle position. we approached the turtle as he got on his cell phone(hes a poor redneck he didnt buy it he stole it) and told his buddies we were gangbangin
it was a very liberating experience as we switched off between fuckin the dead deer while green pus drained out over to eating each other's assholes every few minutes. when i got tired of fuckin it in the ass i took out my drill and stuck with a new hole before digging my fingers in the hole in it's ribcage. i did this in order to make the drill hole wide enuff to put my dick in which doesnt have to be that wide for me. then we took turns with that and id ram it in ass
onetime me and my 'cuz Cletus were ridin down route 51 in our F150 and we saw this dead deer. it had been decaying for damn near two weeks according to my cousin. he said he had a good fuck with it before. So we got out and i stuck my dick in that deer as there was flies all over my balls and i felt maggots on my dick inside its colon. It wasn't as warm as live deer asshole. While i fucked the deer my cousin Cletus tongued my asshole while i took a wet corny shit in his mouth
they are most definitly the best band to see live.... you may like them, and think their tickets are too exspensive, but man... after you see them live... Its a total mind blowing experience... Its better than any other concert i had been too... And it was an honor to see LeRoi one last time 6/7/08...RIP
Dave can play..and don't get me wrong I wanna have his children, but Tim Reynolds is definetly the magician behind the quitar..Dave does the lyrics and this happens to be the best song ever written.
Dave is a good guitarist, but not the way you would expect. He doesn't go into crazy guitar solos, but so what? You can be a good guitarist without doing solos. He has to stretch his fingers so far for the chords in #41, its crazy. Hes a very good rhythm guitarist.
In my opinion, Dave Matthews is the best guitarist ever. Greater than Hendrix himself, but they're practically incomparible since they're completely different types of players, but I love Dave Matthews guitar. I love Dave Matthews Band more than any other band ever.
You can't use "grow up" and "douche" in the same sentence. Then I'm not the one who has to grow up. In my opinion, he is better. I also wrote "but they're practically incomparible" but you still had to bitch.
in this version he's not stretching his fingers at all.. the live or extended normnal version he gotta stretch'em for the intro..i can do it as well..thats not the problem..but be creative like dave is..write songs like this and play'em with a band like DMB! being good is not about soli or technique or some gay shit like that! WRITE THAT STUFF!!!
As a guitar player, i can tell you not many people can duplicate his style. Dave has pretty intricate strumming patterns. and his chords can sometimes be finger twisters.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
That is funny. Actually, Dave is the easiest person in the entire band to duplicate. He has said many times himself that he is by far the worst musician in the band. Tim playing the guitar is a different story. Dave is a great songwriter, a great performer, but just an average pro guitar player (compared to others). He has stated this himself.
sure by he can't solo close to as good as a lot of guitarists, but he uses some wack chords. Plus his style is so good, Lie in our graves has a really good guitar part. I tinkhe's a great guitarist
he's not famous because of his guitar/vocal talents. he's a great song writer. along with bob dylan who didnt have the greatest voice, and wasnt a great guitar player is one of the most famous musicians of our time. so how do you explain that??
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i dont know why the band is called david matthews band b/c he is the least talented one in the group. mediocre singer and average joe guitar player, but i give him credit for making good lyrics.
bob dylan is just as mediocre....they just connect on some level that can only be described as genius...art is a crazy thing...you might dig it, you might not...
He in fact is a tremendous guitarist who is able to strum nearly anything by simply muting all the strings he does not want to play. It's uncanny what he does with his voice and guitar, and how the band clicks so well. And although I agree that his band is also super talented, you seriously underestimate Dave Matthews, especially because he is constantly churning out these incredibly beautiful, powerful, emotional, and energetic songs.
Dude I may not agree with the name, but although everyone else is super talented, Dave is an unbelievable song writer, and though his voice is different, it is so powerful and emotional. And you can't consider him an average joe guitar player just because he never solos and selflessly leaves that up to his band.
Yeh, they were booking a gig and they didnt have a name. So they said, "just write dave matthews, and a band will show up"... So the guy wrote Dave Matthews Band...
look at the sound coming out of the band as a whole, it is awesome. and the drummer plays a mean beat right at the end! (couldn't resist saying that) DM has a loverly voice imo, and is a great writer and his guitar playing first right in and aids the bands gelling and makes the sound soo good (although his guitar here did sound shit, his taylor sounds much better)
if this were the jimi hendrix experience or SRV then u could look at the front man individually, but this is the band as a whole
moejobe, I respect your opinion but disagree with you. For me, Dave is the 'only' talented member of the group and the reason why I like DMG. He could go solo and still have a great following.
Yea first of all its DMB dumbass and dave is talented but Carter Beauford, their drummer is the best drummer in the world, just thought i would throw that out there.
dude, if you think that dave is the only talented member of the band then i back up everything Tehdudemonster said. you can argue that dave is the worst musician out of all of them, he is an amazing songwriter and thats why the band is named after him.
it's actually not named after him because he writes the music. they collaborately write everything. it is named after him because it was by chance. they're first live gig together, the place put dave matthews band on the band list and it just stuck. so they kept it that way. dave has said over and over that they always write all their music together.
if you noticed it's dave matthews band, not dave matthews' band. meaning that it doesn't imply that it's HIS band, but that he's just the frontman or something. or maybe that all the songs represent him...
Jroubikwills is absolutely right, it's not named after him. Wasn't the band's name originally 'The Dave Matthews Band'?
On another note, I love #41, but they should have played a different song. #41 is far to freeform to be squeezed into a 4 minute slot. They played it really well, but it hurts a bit to see them cut it up like that. The intro-less start definitely threw me for a loop...

its funny how everyone thinks they know the band...respect them for their music bc i can promise you they dont give a f*** about what everyone says about them..look at how they dress, how they play together, how they act as a band.. they are having a blast and love what they do just jam to their tunes and rock out bc they are the sh*t
leroi is so talented, but this might have been the first time that millions had been exposed to him and he just played the same note for like 9 seconds? i've also seen carter do this number a little better. i think he's a little more animated during the solo
okonh0wp...you really think the late show is gonna let them jam on #41 for 15 minutes (as they usually do)? We've all seen them do this song better, but they're restricted on these shows. Think before you type.
DMB is the best!!! Guys if you like dave check out my band ORZACKS ROAD, we have a cool acoustic/electric rock thing goin on. People say we have a matthews/jack johnson sound. - If you like it please leave a comment or rating and sign up as a friend on our myspace - Thank You so much - ORZACKS ROAD
Our band ORZACKS ROAD has some live performances here on youtube! We have a heavy Jack Johnson/DaveMatthews influence with electric guitar thrown in!! Please take a second and check it out and leave a rating or a comment and tell us what u think. Thanks - Orzacks Road
PS - If you like it please sign up as a friend at our myspace at myspace . com/orzacksroad
to the guy who wanted them to play a single: the reason DMB is sweet and not a sell out band like so many others is because they stay off of MTV and make good music and worry about that.... not being famous all over the place and playing already over played singles.

okay buddy don't try to school me on dave matthews band. i prolly have more dmb knowledge in my pinky finger than you do in your body.
this was sometime around 1996, so i would expect a SINGLE from the Crash album because there promoting the album. 41 is an amazing song, but in the scheme of promoting things not the greatest choice to display on letterman. thats what i was trying to say. so chill.
It's odd that they would choose 41 for Letterman. I would've expected Crash Into Me or So Much To Say. 41 is pure greatness, but I would expect them to play one of the singles.
After RUSH the greatest band ALIVE!!!!

he's not famous because of his guitar/vocal talents. he's a great song writer. along with bob dylan who didnt have the greatest voice, and wasnt a great guitar player is one of the most famous musicians of our time. so how do you explain that??

i dont know why the band is called david matthews band b/c he is the least talented one in the group. mediocre singer and average joe guitar player, but i give him credit for making good lyrics.

bob dylan is just as mediocre....they just connect on some level that can only be described as genius...art is a crazy thing...you might dig it, you might not...

He in fact is a tremendous guitarist who is able to strum nearly anything by simply muting all the strings he does not want to play. It's uncanny what he does with his voice and guitar, and how the band clicks so well. And although I agree that his band is also super talented, you seriously underestimate Dave Matthews, especially because he is constantly churning out these incredibly beautiful, powerful, emotional, and energetic songs.

Dude I may not agree with the name, but although everyone else is super talented, Dave is an unbelievable song writer, and though his voice is different, it is so powerful and emotional. And you can't consider him an average joe guitar player just because he never solos and selflessly leaves that up to his band.

they named it dave matthews band by accident, they just needed a name to put on open mike night somewhere

Yeh, they were booking a gig and they didnt have a name. So they said, "just write dave matthews, and a band will show up"... So the guy wrote Dave Matthews Band...
true story :)

look at the sound coming out of the band as a whole, it is awesome. and the drummer plays a mean beat right at the end! (couldn't resist saying that) DM has a loverly voice imo, and is a great writer and his guitar playing first right in and aids the bands gelling and makes the sound soo good (although his guitar here did sound shit, his taylor sounds much better)
if this were the jimi hendrix experience or SRV then u could look at the front man individually, but this is the band as a whole

moejobe, I respect your opinion but disagree with you. For me, Dave is the 'only' talented member of the group and the reason why I like DMG. He could go solo and still have a great following.

Yea first of all its DMB dumbass and dave is talented but Carter Beauford, their drummer is the best drummer in the world, just thought i would throw that out there.

Thanks for responding on the band name (I was think Dave Matthews Group), Tehdudemonster, but there is no reason for using profanities.
ATokyoite 4 years ago
dude, if you think that dave is the only talented member of the band then i back up everything Tehdudemonster said. you can argue that dave is the worst musician out of all of them, he is an amazing songwriter and thats why the band is named after him.

Thanks for responding, dymancurtis. Ok, that's all good. (Dave's still the only reason why I listen to this band, but) I respect your opinions.

it's actually not named after him because he writes the music. they collaborately write everything. it is named after him because it was by chance. they're first live gig together, the place put dave matthews band on the band list and it just stuck. so they kept it that way. dave has said over and over that they always write all their music together.

if you noticed it's dave matthews band, not dave matthews' band. meaning that it doesn't imply that it's HIS band, but that he's just the frontman or something. or maybe that all the songs represent him...
jetsterx 3 years ago
Jroubikwills is absolutely right, it's not named after him. Wasn't the band's name originally 'The Dave Matthews Band'?
On another note, I love #41, but they should have played a different song. #41 is far to freeform to be squeezed into a 4 minute slot. They played it really well, but it hurts a bit to see them cut it up like that. The intro-less start definitely threw me for a loop...

leroi is so talented, but this might have been the first time that millions had been exposed to him and he just played the same note for like 9 seconds? i've also seen carter do this number a little better. i think he's a little more animated during the solo

davefan12 4 years ago
okonh0wp...you really think the late show is gonna let them jam on #41 for 15 minutes (as they usually do)? We've all seen them do this song better, but they're restricted on these shows. Think before you type.

to the guy who wanted them to play a single: the reason DMB is sweet and not a sell out band like so many others is because they stay off of MTV and make good music and worry about that.... not being famous all over the place and playing already over played singles.

okay buddy don't try to school me on dave matthews band. i prolly have more dmb knowledge in my pinky finger than you do in your body.
this was sometime around 1996, so i would expect a SINGLE from the Crash album because there promoting the album. 41 is an amazing song, but in the scheme of promoting things not the greatest choice to display on letterman. thats what i was trying to say. so chill.

It's odd that they would choose 41 for Letterman. I would've expected Crash Into Me or So Much To Say. 41 is pure greatness, but I would expect them to play one of the singles.
