I don't get why people are arguing over his voice. I think Dave's one of my favorite singers of all time! It's a really catchy song, I've had it stuck in my head for four days now and I want to learn it on guitar.
I was driving around little five points in Atlanta back in 2010. I look over and I see Boyd tinsley standing on the sidewalk. He had one other guy with him and that was it. I almost wrecked as I pulled the car over on the next street to get out and go see him. I got my picture and they played Lakewood later that night, I’ll never forget it.
I remember in the mid nineties when he was still a nobody and he was playing little gigs at the malls in the Richmond Virginia area. Little did anyone know that later that year he would be a super star filling up the biggest of arenas. I knew when I heard him playing solo and acoustic that he was gonna be big
It's insane that he can play that riff and sing over it like that. But props to the drummer for being able to slam the drums like that and give backup vocals that are that flawless, even when going into falsetto. So good!
a Gibson Chet Atkins SST Studio they aren't in production anymore though, but Epiphone makes a cheaper version of it. Dave's SST is also modified with Fishman pickups :)
Was at a DMB concert early 2000s just as they were launching into this song a satellite arced overhead in the sky - no kidding! My only comment to my companion - before the music even began - 'They're gonna play Satellite'' DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAVE, eh?
I told your mom that, once... Now we both have graduated 2nd grade! Please don't disrespect others opinions, especially critiques of singers, on RU-vid. Peace, Joe Nelson.
@youmakemelaff Practice tip: watch your favorite tv shows and keep playing the riff in the meantime... depending on guitar level you should be able to sing to it after a couple of days. ;) but yeah, it's hard
"Too underated?" I wholeheartedly disagree. In fact, Dave is so well supported by fans--his army of jackboot thugs--that anyone who expresses reservations about his 'messiah status' in popular culture is shouted down. I fully understand why people hate on this band.
@youmakemelaff its actually really really easier, i thought it was gonna be a pain when i started but its not so bad. the chorus is a harder in my opinion. its just very tiring to play
Everybody hold up! We don't need to be getting so hostile? Don't believe me? Go pick up the issue of Rolling Stone magazine after DMB put out American Baby, Dave said that's 1 of his least favorite things & that's something he wishes he could change about this world? All the hostility?
