  • i think that he just gets very nervous before interviews and such. he doesn't really talk like that on stage...

  • 1:16 Why you no thumbs up?

  • 1:51 la cara que pone es buenisimaa jaja. Picaro

  • @bigmapidea ..dont believe everything u read on blogs or hate sites. i have read his books andwhile he enjoys the occasional smoke and drink, he or those around him have never mentioned heroein,coke, or anything like that. who do you know that does heroein and puts on 2000+ sold out shows. Those guys are in the best shape!

  • Dave...you bring joy and music to all corners of the planet...even to the tiny island am on right now.

  • One thing I noticed when listening to Dave in an interview, you have to hang in tight and if you let go in the slightest you can get lost.

  • What band member is the one who recently died and who the album named after?

  • @pucksterz12 LeRoi Moore,died 8-08......yhis vid is a cpl years old

  • @pucksterz12 LeRoi Moore, the sax player

  • @snoookie256 Personally I love Dave, and i think he's a brilliant musician. But are you trying to say that he's NOT a stoner? cuz he definitely is. it doesn't detract from his general awesomeness though

  • @mra2c88hwh I don't care if he's a stoner... that's not what defines his music... The music is inside him, not inside his drugs, or inside his alcohol, or inside anything...

    And if that's just his stimulant - that's his decision and I don't give a shit about it as long as he keeps releasing awesome stuff.

  • @brianguitar21 lol I agree...

    I've seen a huge number of comments "Stop hating on drugs, if it weren't for drugs, their music wouldn't be"...

    I personally think it's bullshit, but that's just my humble opinion :D

  • Dave is the man.  So twitchy and funny

  • LOVE the fact that they played Too Much as the intro.

  • thanks UOF6.  i DID MISS IT.

  • mr mathews, if you ever get to read this post i just want you to know that you bring life and joy, dance and sing to the parties that my friends and i have. you re a brilliant musician and wonderful person. thank you

  • That is one sexy man -- Not Letterman!

  • Some people would argue that Dave has a very very mild case of Aspergers. Notice how he looks around and up at the ceiling and down at the floor. Notice how he rambles on and on and repeats himself over and over.

  • @HEYBizarre Doesn't affect the singing much though, does it? If it is true. But this could be true....he is very awkward.

  • @barrelracer17 No, not really :) It depends on the severity of Aspergers though. He could just be a really really awkward guy...lol

  • no Dave tour this summer at SPAC, hopefully in 2012

  • sweet i dont give a shit about weed dude but if you think hes gonna roast before going on national tv you're ignorant

  • To all those talking about Dave being high: You're dumb. He's a grown man he isn't going to get stoned before he goes on Letterman. He's just a goofy dude

  • @CupRed92 believe it or not...grown-ups get high too.

  • @CupRed92 Well said brother!

  • i love you <3

  • YAAAAAACCCKKKKKKEEEDDD OOOUUTTTT 

  • dave on a fender.....

  • "No"

    "What did you say?"

    "No..."

    Best. Part.

  • Did anyone else notice his face at 0:22? Like, "C'mon, Too Much? Really?" XD

  • He's just alittle awkward but Dave is the man.

  • i met dave at blossom 2 days after this interview:) i always felt like leroi had something to do with that.. rip leroi♥

  • Why do people feel the need to comment on whether Dave is stoned? In my opinion, he's not stoned nearly as much as people say. He's an intelligent guy, who is always thinking, has a lot to say, and who is unique/quirky. That doesn't make him high. I think he sounds a lot more stoned in older interviews, like ten years ago or so. He's just awesome. That's all I know.

  • Actually this is more like Dave not on drugs...he is naturally a nutcase. When he IS high is is mellow

  • haha @ 00:57

  • he's high.

  • Haha Dave's face at :55 =)

  • Oh Dave. Too many drugs tonight XP

    Dave Matthews Kevin Spacey and John Edelson all look like brothers.

  • @eap5000 dont forget vince vaughn

    

  • @eap5000 How about Jeremey Pivens twin !!!!

  • kevin spacey.. lookalike

  • @antuphus kevin spacey is a dave matthews look a like

  • @mjosty123 I always thought he was Jeremey Pivens twin !!!!!

  • Okay Cater... we all see you with that nasty double-bass fill during Tim's guitar solo! too good.

  • mans funny as shit

  • Lay off the hard drugs Dave you look like a crackhead up there. Right after 0:55 looks like he's hearing voices lol

  • @jtrevin1 no, not really. Watch interviews from the 90's. He looks like he is doing great now.

  • @snookie456 since you're soooo good when were you on letterman??

  • DMB allstar lineup. lol

  • dave is so funny. thats why i love him. hes one of the best musicians in the world, yet hes not untoutchable. hes not like one of those dicks that thinks theyre better than eveyone, but he his just a human and he acctualy acts like it. hes down to earth and his awkwardness just makes him all the more awesome

  • He has a way of talking that seems like he is still in shock that he is famous and a little awkward. What a great and funny guy! He is one of the few genuine artists who is just as good live

  • Love how he comes in to "Too Much".

    But no ASTB?!

  • @TryferosHD If you find a good video of when Dave was on Jimmy Fallon on the GPS skit, The Roots did ASTB on the outro to commericial, it was brief because commercial cut it off, but it was awesome

  • Letterman was a twat. He had little to no respect for the fallen.

  • "its good to be here, for a little while. not too long. hope you haven't missed me" lol youre crazy dave!

  • one of the few mainstream musicians worth his salt. Dave Matthews is a god.

  • Dave could stand in for Hugh Laurie on House. Lol

  • Have you seen season 3 episode 15 of HOUSE ?

  • @XxBirrySanxX Maybe you already know this, but Dave actually played a prodigious pianist in house.

  • @XxBirrySanxX Or Tom Hanks 

  • Too all of the people who claim he talks like a stoner:

    Imagine what you would sound like with so much music in your head.

  • @snoookie456 I have a combination of Morbid Angel's "Gateways to Annihilation" and the Captain Beefheart and Birthday Party Eps rattling round my rush, and I don't act or sound like this guy

  • @livershot Well yeah but I have about seven albums of DMB and a couple of live acoustic mp3s of him and Tim Reynolds in my place... and he's been an inspiration for me to learn the guitar for a couple of years now...

    And all I have from you is some incoherent "Open G jam" video with just some basic chords and no actual face on the video... So.........................

  • @snoookie456 i never claimed to be "better" than him in some objective sense. I know I'll be a nothing for my whole life. But I still think he's an uncanny android built to create the soundtrack of musical hell. As for using basic chords, haven't you heard of minimalism? Besides, chords aren't the point. I can groove harder using one finger than Dave ever could, even if he ate 300 mg of molly and got Reni to drum for him.

  • @livershot Again you don't get my point... Dave is a genius and puts a lot of energy in every song he ever wrote...

    If you always fail to see that in his music I also don't know how much of nothing will you be in your life. It's not in being better, it's about appreciation. And yes, I've heard of minimalism, but I prefer art myself...

  • @snoookie456 I can see that....its just that what he uses his talent for doesn't move me. At all.

    I was sorta trolling you guys; of course my skills pale in comparison to a guy who tours the world all the time. However, I posted another video to show what I'm really about, let me know what you think

  • @livershot I really hope you're joking. I watched that "Open G Jam" video that you posted, and I had to stop after about 30 seconds because it was so painful. If grooving to you is sliding up and down the fretboard playing power chords well then I guess I was grooving the second week after I learned guitar, what a joke...

  • Comment removed

  • Comment removed

  • @dmb4president Half joking. I played pretty good for being drunk, and the point was to play in Keith Richard's sloppy but swinging style. Now THERES a guy whos got groove.

    I posted a new video, I'm interested what you think of it. If youre gonna hate, why not post a comment on my video instead of here?

  • @snoookie456 lol. true...but it looks like Dave just did a line.

  • @snoookie456 but he is a stoner....

  • @mjosty123 yeah, you're right, except you're not a musician... and he isn't a stoner...

  • @mjosty123 A VERY talented, rich, and most importantly happy person. How many times do you see him on the news for drugs? never! DUI? never! family troubles? never! Giving to schools? all the time! Playing some of the most brilliant musical and lyrical pieces with unarguably some of the best talents in music ever, they are all genius. So he comes off a bit odd sometimes, that a genius on the brink of going crazy. Look up some of the greats, they were all a bit crazy and thank god for them.

  • @mhigham1 publicity or not, he still used to do heroin.

  • @snoookie456 Not that talking like a stoner is a bad thing...right??? He coulda smoked a blunt before this, who cares either way..

  • @snoookie456 I'd be a babbling mess...Dave is THE MAN.

  • @snoookie456 prob my favorite youtube comment of all time..jus sayin

  • @snoookie456 fuckin genius

  • clar. letterman is a dickhead. matthews the man of course.

  • hes not stoned here. i think he stopped like the rest of us when he got old. he just hillarious and yes, dave is a dickhead.

  • @gatorsugarman Dave letterman or dave matthews? dave matthews isnt a dick

  • Faboulous man

  • hahaha i love this guy

  • Hahaha yes he did smoke, but he stopped. He quit when LeRoi passed (RIP). Now he continues his great music & is still f*cking hilarious.

  • Is it just me or does Dave look kinda like Forrest Gump.

  • @raulrln77 not at all. maybe Karl from Sling Blade

  • Letterman is always a freakin dick, i almost cant stand watching interviews with him as the host, because he is always trying to make them look stupid. Freakin dick.

  • just a real guy. apparently there are 4 people who aren't real.

  • hes one cool dude enough said

  • He's just nervous as fuck

  • lmao he is fucking awsome.

  • Dave is real....Not weird, as society would say.

  • Proof positive that marriage and children plays well on Dave. He appears calm, confident and is dressed like it's date night with his sweetheart. Va va va voom, baby! It's enough to make women everywhere fall in love with him. Go Dave!

  • @filmtress Ha he's acting like he's on coke or something. He's all twitchy...

  • @turoniner Wrong, he's acting like a Dad. Men of young children are pretty goofty anyway. Sinbad the commedian explains this. But we're all entitled to our opinions. Peace.

  • @filmtress Hahahaha yes yes let it be known that "Sinbad the commedian (sp)" is a viable expert for purposes of analyzing human behavior.

  • @turoniner lol, so you agreed.  Great!

  • he looks so nervous but oh so hansome :)

  • @octoberrain21 You know, I think Dave is more comfortable than anyone when he's at Letterman's. I think he is just acting very vulnerable, maybe to seem like a awesome, cosy guy! :)

  • @octoberrain21  Yes. And what a great combination.

  • @octoberrain21 I agree with the handsome part.

  • He always seems almost autistic whenever he does interviews. lol. LOVE

  • for some reason dmb potheads always say dave is a pothead, which he's clearly not, maybe years ago, but not now with a wife and kids

  • Carter looks a bit like Ari Gold from Entourage

  • he seems insane in interviews... then he plays his music and you think thats where he goes to be sane and escape

  • wtf is wrong with dave in the begininng

  • I laughed so hard at the story about his little boy!!

  • 4 people are gay

  • Lettermen, c'mon man some questions are to much.

  • Wow, 2 faggy douche libs in one place.

  • @bsd300d  the only douche is YOU. Fucking tool.

  • @stackleft your the classic piece of shit DMB fan.....stop listenin to shitty music!

  • hahaha hes so uncomfortable and twitchy during the interview and 55 seconds in hes hilarious

  • @ murmelman45 I like dave, and have seen him live. But the emperical proof of my opinion is above, plane and simple. And the band wasn't together on a couple parts. I play music myself and sometimes i just sound bad. This performance wasn't up to par for DMB standards.

  • it was on my birthday....best present ever

  • I LOVE CARTERS SKILLZ

  • dave sounded bad 

  • @yokozome have you ever seen him live? I don't get people that send out bad vibes about Dave. He rocks better than anyone!!!!!!!!

  • this whole band is amazing!! i just saw them the other night here in dallas but each member has musical brilliance, check out lessards bass groove at 7:55 and at 8:23 ...you can just pick out so many great things from this band

  • Never really gave these guys the time of day, but last night I wanted to listen to the time of the season and I found their remake. Now I cant get enough. These guys rock.

  • @TheFallen1Iam I am glad it was enjoyable. They shine more on stage because they can improvise.

  • @TheFallen1Iam fuckin a man...see em live it'll change you as a person

  • He's a most entertaining and lovely storyteller : )

  • Wow... Dave playing a Fender electric strat.... that's unusual.

  • look at tim standin next to boyd haha

  • lol he does look uncomfortable as hell until he sings lol so quirky

  • he looks so uncomfortable until hes on stage

  • @mooserack99 Ah, Travis Barker's ok, but he's far from the best. Carter's simply amazing. Brilliant.

  • @Zatrahc its healthy man. dmb is just a constant flow of art to the dome, yo.

  • dive in..

  • your such a stud

  • I am always in AWE of this man. He is simply amazing from the music he plays to the things he says to the way he moves... He is amazing:)

  • He is so timid but outgoing at the same time. And so gracious. Gah, I just love him!

  • @way2be25 He's so hilarious, too!

  • Just saw them in Wisconsin over the 4th of July.... great 2 night show with Zac Brown Band!

  • it is really frustrating that people think Dave is still this pot head druggie...dave is just a weird guy. this man has three kids and anyone in their right mind would have given that crap up a long time ago.

  • @dickiero Whoa. pothead druggie? who are you to say that potheads are druggies. It's about to be legal if you haven't been watching the news. Dave def. burns it down so everyone just needs to get used to it. I mean shit listen to his lyrics he fucking talks about it.

  • @demoballa

    not to touch the pothead or druggie comments, but you'd prob be suprised how little he burns. any vocalist that has top perform 30 or 40 shows in a tour especially at his kind of intensity cant take any added stress to their throat. not to say he doesnt occasionally unwind tho haha

  • @dickiero whoa whoa druggie? pot heads aren't druggies

  • @dickiero

    yeah.. it could be something else. Maybe it's something he doesn't want people to know about. I suffered from anxiety in the past and sometimes didn't want to talk about it.

  • love dave 

  • what song does lettermans band sample in the begining?

  • @bigev991 "too much"! :)

  • Why I Am

  • @bigev991 Too Much

  • He was goofy in that interview. lol. I was waiting for him to just talk a straight sentence.

  • haha gotta love dave

  • lol it's so odd, because it looks like this was taped in VHS... And this show probably aired in HD... so i would love to see the contrast between this on this, and this in HD.

  • first time i've seen him with an acoustic.

  • @safetosaydontquoteme first time you have seen who with an acoustic? dave doesnt usually play anything BUT acousic, and i dont see Reynolds on an acoustic. Unless you meant first time you have seen with WITHOUT an acoustic

  • @darkz369 Oh yeah, sorry dude my bad. I meant first time seeing him with an electric.

  • People are saying he's acting weird and stoned, dude he's fucking hilarious. I think he's just a funny guy.

  • @puddlessir at concerts and shit yes hes stoned, but  for the most part he just has a good sense of humor

  • stoned off his head!

  • i love tims sunglasses

  • I love Dave Matthews....but he is one weird dude. :-)

  • Haha, I love watching interviews with him! he's so fidgety and cute.

  • hahah dave is such a weird dude.. the man

  • he is so high...

  • Dude, if it stands for Leroy Moore, then it means a lot to me!!!

  • R.I.P. Gru Grux. You are missed.

  • Carter always inspired me..always found something new to play in DMB songs

  • funny guy

  • ha what is tim wearing? idk but its awesome!

  • @JuJuHound: I know right?! Why is it so hard just to hire a decent sound person to figure this kind of thing out?

  • @rubyhaleybenjamin daves not dorky hes the man he was probably the big man in high school and got mad pussy

  • i love dave

  • @BERNZIE41

    me too x

  • June 7th and 8th, seein dmb in Mass

  • Im goin then too

  • It sounds like Dave can't hear himself, his vocal mic should have been turned up in the mix and the monitor.

  • even thought this probably wasn't his best, he is still so much better then other bands live, most people that don't listen to them wouldn't even know its live which is what I love about them

  • @Sopraltofilms

    these late night shows are notoriously bad about that. they tend to have really bad monitors and thats why so many great bands go on these shows and sound terrible. Not that this sounded terrible, but it isnt uncommon. you'd think think theyd have that stuff figured out after all these years.

  • yeah i agree he sounds better live i saw him about eleven times...so far every time gets better:]

  • Dave rules

    x

  • hahah he is one crazy muther fucker but you gotta love him

  • Dave is getting a litlle bold ahahahahahaha!
