I love the song "DoDo" (solo CD) my fav has to be "Recently" I LOVE that song!!! Oh, and Minarets!!!! "people stare and we just ignore / what's the use in hiding out?" HLS should listen to this song. (all racists should listen to this song) If she is racist, she should listen to Cry Freedom: And we wave our hands, Hands and feet are all alike But fear between divides us all slips away!

If she is racist, she should listen to Cry Freedom: And we wave our hands, Hands and feet are all alike But fear between divides us all slips away! Ahhh yes.....great song! That song has brought tears to my eyes! this line - "But fear between divides us" it explains it all.

What did you guys think of "Stand Up"? I thought it was a great cd....a bit of a step in a different direction for DMB but very good. Damn better than his solo stuff. I wasn't too impressed with "Some Devil". "If you see me out there runnin' And you hear the sheriffs comin' Your daddy's crazy with that gun in his hand." What was this thread about, anyway?

DMB's music has meant a lot to me over the years. Dave is an incredible songwriting talent. His lyrics (which have gotten worse over the years) are some of the most thought provoking of any writer I listen too. It is hard being in a muti-racial relationship in today's society. I think that is one of the reason my wife and I are such DMB fan's. I, like adreno, have at times been brought to tears over certain songs hitting at a certain time. Stand up was pretty good, but as i stated above, I think Dave seems to be running out of material, or his life influences are changing as he gets older. Back in the days of UTTAD, Crash, and BTCS, he wrote happy fun times, getting phucked up, loving your lover, and heartache and depression, all rolled up into one! Now it seems as though his lyrical style has evolved (or devolved). I agree with bassman, some devil was mediocre at best and why, oh why, did we ever get Everyday (Glen Ballard must die, long live Steve Lillywhite!) There have litterally been times in my life that I don't think I would have wanted to continue without the music of DMB! "Oh well, oh well, so here we stand, but we stand for nothing!" and hate EVERYBODY... f flames.... Who the phuck is flaming? It is quite unfortunate that hate mongering has become so prevelant in society!

Maybe Mattews just hasn't had any real good inspiration for lyrics lately. Personally though, I like the lyrics on "Stand Up". Though I do have to say that his old work is better. "Before These Crowded Streets" is probably my favorite DMB cd and possibly one of the ones on my all time list. One thing we can say is that even though Matthews' lyrics may lack every now and again....the band will always be great. Beauford's probably one of the best drummers alive, I've never seen anyone tear up a violin like Tinsley, and Lassard's style fits the band perfectly. And of course Leroi's winds....wow. Add those all in with Matthews' contributions and you can't lose. Although I do have to ask....when the f*ck are they going to go ahead and make Butch Taylor an official member? He's been playing the keys with them for about as long as I can remember.

Oh now, don't get me wrong, Dave is still putting better songs that most of the crap you hear nowdays, but, like you, I am more partial to his early works. Under the Table and Dreaming is my favorite cd, but Crash, and Before These Crowded Streets are also great! Even Busted Stuff (Lillywhite Sessions) has great song writing. But Everyday, UGH!! The multi-racial, multi-talented mix that is the Dave Matthews Band, can not, I don't think) be equalled at this moment in music history. And yeah, if it weren't for DMB Butch wouldn't have a job! And who made the worst career move of any musician in history? Peter Grieser = idiot!

The multi-racial, multi-talented mix that is the Dave Matthews Band, can not, I don't think) be equalled at this moment in music history. a close second would be Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, IMHO.

[dmbfanintn]

a close second would be Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, IMHO. Well, Andreno, you already know how i feel about Bela and the Tones! I have to agree with you. For me, it's all about the LIVE music!!

[bassman]

yeah...the Flecktones are great. What do you guys think of Widespread Panic?

[Adrenochrome]

Well, Andreno, you already know how i feel about Bela and the Tones! I have to agree with you. For me, it's all about the LIVE music!! Yes! Would String Cheese Incident be considered "multi Racial"? They have that oriental guy, Michael Kang, that plays mandolin/violin/guitar..SCI is one of the best LIVE jam bands I've EVER seen!
