Love how he smashes the Grammys...but it's so true. Everyone gets worked up to be bored. The Grammys need a streaker to run across the stage at random intervals to wake ppl up. Go Dave, you're above any manufactured acknowledgement of your talent.
James Hodgetts Get it man.. Ive seen him four times. The music is great.. but there are the parts between the music that are AWESOME!! respond after you see him plz @ James Hodgetts
America is the most blessed countries on earth..one of the most religious too...we give more than any country...to charity. As far as The idea God doesn't...exist...I have a hard time believing everything cane into existence on its own...and just happen to create complex humans...from nothing...how lucky
@TheHxholden He's South African - he probably lost the accent when he moved back here again after high school. So the accent probably returned naturally when he was in UK.
I love all of these bands and have seen dmb over 25 times but I must say that at this point I think dave is playing for the monetary benefits and not the sentimental ones.
Metamorphic Avant garde artist most emphatically enjoy your witty introspective song repertoire.Extol Domaine Chasssagne Montrachet in South Africa and Argentina raise a glass in a toast a favorite of Alexander Dumas. Cheers.
i honestly have to agree with everything he said and im american and i feel the same way about all the stuff he said, screw manufactured bands, we need more real musicians like DMB, PHISH, GOVT MULE, MOE. they are whats great about music, purely playing it for the love of it
funny he called Americans fundamentalists- calling them out for their negative portrayal of the Muslim world- and basically calling them hypocrites. hilarious. love him. he doesn't want the fame. doesn't pretend to be anything but himself.
If you're familiar with Dave you now he's more of a "life's about the journey" kind of guy then about achievements/success to begin with... not an idiot. Any successful artist knows that the most enjoyable part is growth or the "struggle" which leads to the success, rather then after it's achieved, that's all he was saying.
sgim43 I 100% agree man. Although i did say "Dave is an idiot", I didn't mean it in any negative way. He frequently has great interviews that end with an awkward statement, that can be taken wrong. I love the guy and his music forever.
i'd so love to hang out wit hDave Matthews anytime, anywhere, all the time...... refreshing amazing, intelligent, honest, i can go on and on and on and ona nd on and on and on and on and on and on and on... or that darling man COULD just track me down n hang out fer an evening... i'd buy his booze...
I like dave on stage and that's about it. I don't think he knows much about what he's talking about much of the time especially when it's about politics. I agree with what he said about the grammy's
mhulbig Yah. He talks about politics so often. But anyhow, your comment here is the same comment anybody will have for anybody who cares about what is going on in the country but whom they disagree with. Same with me. People I know may not care for my thoughts on politics. Just when you are famous you have more people hearing your opinions..
aww geez, lets not get all "after school special' here...just clownin around and it is funny when people can't see the obvious humor and get all worked up. thats all. Have a good day. And for the record NO ONE thinks Phillip Phillips is more ridiculous than I do in his complete hack imiititation Dave schtick...
Jesus, this comment was so bad I had to correct it 10 years later. Watchtower is a Bob Dylan song. Hendrix covered it, so does Dave. It’s nowhere close to his most popular song. Probably not even too 50
Not even close to the most popular song. Lol to the reply above me, thank you. The fact that you thought Watchtower was a Hendrix original says all we need to know about your music opinion.
I didn't make myself look stupid, I made you, and a few others look stupid. That's the point. I made myself look petty, and childish. I accepted this going into the operation though. You were victimized. Played like a Carter Beauford Hi Hat. Just except it and move on. Grow from it;)
I love Dave but to suggest that God doesnt exist makes me extremely heartbroken for him. Ask all those who have had a near death experience with God if He exists. Just sad for Dave that he thinks we are alone.
Soldier For Christ To be honest, I think he does believe in God. I just get the sense that he thinks that God isn't interested in us or care about us and maybe he has been through things or observed the human condition to come to that conclusion.
yea, whatever you say..Dave Matthews was a one hit wonder with "Crash"...Phillip Phillips will stand the test of time. Real music always does. Dave doesnt even play an instrument like PP, the Black guy with the dreads plays the guitar for him.
arond24 LoL. I was forced to go see PP once. I can’t remember what he was doing, repeatedly throughout the show. But I caught on to it and would laugh each time because he just looked like a doucher. And so towards the end of the show, half the crowd has started filing out. He sees me laughing at him, twice. But he was a good sport about it. He laughed as well. Wish I remembers what it was. However, I came away actually pretty impressed by his show. Well, beat expectations at least
Errr... Dave Matthews received the Orville Gibson Award for best acoustic guitarist in 2002. So yeah, he does not just play, he's pretty fuckin' good at it. Most of the top end musos you can stick behind a bass, guitar, drums... they usually can play it all to some extent. Dave Mathews is better than most.
