The real problem here is that he played this only 3 times publicly. This is such a nice guitar riff, I certainly hope if he does another solo album in the next few years that he includes this as a nice 2 minute track or something.
I love it. It is so calming.. I could listen to it for hours. Dave's voice makes it even better. "Kill the king. Kill the king cause the king is a clown... Round and round the world goes round and round.."
As far as I know this isn't on any album of his I've heard. I'd love to hear a finished version of the song...I think what he has here so far is great. I love the vocal melody he put over the guitar part more than the guitar part, but, they go hand in hand...and round and round. Yessir
There is a Bob Schneider song called "Round and Round" that has a chorus that says "The world goes round and around." Bob and one of his earlier bands even opened for DMB on a tour. Kinda funny.
@danielsoferman actually if you have ever seen him at all or heard him speak then you would know that this actually is dave matthews plus he does play electric as well as acoustic
Good song. Is on any cd cause I love the song. On of the best songs that I even hear. This is newest Satelitte...when can I hear a studio version of it.
He is actually one of the best acoustic guitar players out there. He doesnt give himself enough credit. Some of the things he pulls of are ridiculous. He great!
heres a true musician. all he cares about is his music but in a sense that his music makes him feel good. he isnt trying to make music that other people like. i think thats why hes been so successful.
I'm glad you all enjoyed this! I deleted all that crap with people fighting in the comments. This song "round and round" is very hypnotic, most of us could listen to it for hours straight.
For the record, Dave doesn't "rip BONG" much anymore. He's a family man in his 40s with a full time touring scedule. How much do you think he "rips BONG?" Honestly, he is SO sober in this video. If you thought he was stoned here, you really should hang out with some stoners and find out how they really act
Nice. It never made sense to me why people fight over something so simple as a song. btw I use this to loosen up my fingers as an excersize, and make up my own words to it. Fun!
@btdouglas yeah i don't think he does anymore. I smoked a joint with him back in the day though. One of those really lucky situations I found myself in somehow during my college years. He's a great guy. Wish they weren't taking next year off, as I didn't get a chance to make it to the Gorge this summer.
obviously you didnt see the making of Big Whiskey where he was CLEARLY stoned in several scenes, and just because he has a family and tours constantly means he doesent smoke pot? WOW my friend WOW
and as far as "hang out with some stoners and find out how they really act" that is the most biased stereotypical thing ive ever heard. you must be hangin out with the wrong group of stoners!
because he made several pot references on this past tour if you heard any
@btdouglas Not only that, but he's a pretty nervous guy when it comes to this sort of stuff. So he always comes off as stoned. But dumb-asses just automatically assume hes still a huge stoner. You are 100% right my friend.
not a master?!?! Holy crap the man has basically created his own style which is totally awesome. I wish I could play half as good as Dave. He is so down to earth too.
the new cd is gonna be sick and honestly the people who comment on vidoes negetivly clearly have no life, why would you waste your time watching a Dave video if you don't like him. Your the kind of people that make this world shitty.
yea i learned it and you are right, its really fun and you just cant break it 'hypnotic and soothing" you just have to learn it by muscle memory pretty much and stay consistant but once you do, it does sound really cool. I LOVE DAVE MATTHEWS.
nice song, never heard it. I love Dave, I hope its on the new cd. he is TOO modest, i dont think he realizes how incredible he really is....I play some of Dave's stuff on guitar ....I can play satellite so its funny he mentioned that...maybe i should try to learn "round and round"
yea I checked out the tabs....its cool but kind of a different pattern just takes a while to get down....not hard, just different. im like dying for the new DMB cd to come out.
i love what he says about forgetting the lyrics. anyone who listens to a lot of live dmb knows what he's talking about. sometimes he mumbles and makes sounds. that's what I call the "good stuff"
im not saying this is true but i think they stopped playing it because of the recent disapproval of president Bush. that or something back home in south africa.....just a thought
You can do it too. For starters, pick something easy to play, say the words that come to you, maybe write them down first, and then let them just come from you as you sing, however they make you feel. Dave is amazing though.
No way does Dave suck at the guitar... he's one of the best rhythm guitarists out there...just because he doesn't solo at every opportunity doesn't mean he's not damn good
dave by no means sucks at guitar. the chords he uses in some of his songs are just crazy as are the riffs and timings he comes up with. he's just not the insane lead guitarist most people think of like jimi hendrix or stevie ray vaughn. he's original in his own way.
Dave being Dave. He's a great individual, with a great talent and voice to lend to the musical world. I'm sorro to everyone who doesn't like him, or thinks he's "fake"...but please don't waste your time trying to drag his fans away from him. We like him for who he is, not who you percieve him to be. Personally, I think he's the greatest musician alive today, and a lot of people would NOT agree with me - I know that. But there's nothing someone could say to make me think differently. Cheers.
yeah you are right, thats why Dave plays the likes of Farmaid... Because he's "all about the money".. Thats bullshit, dave is one of the best singer songwriters of our generation..
I heard him play this song on an internet broadcast. He says he's speaking to his new baby boy. It's advice he would give him. One of the verses goes: "Round and round the world goes around. The moon comes up and the sun goes down. Round and round the world goes round. Keep your head in the sky and your feet on the ground." Thanks Dave for this. We need more lullabys.
He says his and his wife's rings were made from two copper pennies and they tend to turn his finger green so he wears his on a chain around his neck. Cooper is obviously NOT one of the precious metals.
You can't act normal when you're a genius, to all those who think he is acting high or weird.
