Dave haters, unite!
January 31st, 2003
I’m always fascinated when I find a page with a link to me. Usually, though, that page has a huge list of links that were probably copied wholesale off some other blog, which kinda destroys that warm fuzzy feeling. Yesterday I noticed Byron’s Big Nut in my referrer log and found a site with TBOTCOTW among its mere handful of external links. So I started looking around for an explanation. The ‘about me’ link leads to a list of attributes, with this as number 13:
but what I hate most in this world is…well I don’t know, but Dave Mathews Band is way up there. They fucking suck. I hated Dave Mathews way before it was cool to hate DMB. I hated them when they were under the table and dreaming. I also hate Phish. I’ve hated phish for a long time too. Even when I smoked weed I hated phish. I was never really that into the Greatful Dead either.
I used to be the number one Google for ‘I hate Dave Matthews,’ but now Byron’s Big Nut has taken the honor. I think I’m in love…

i was just curious as to why you “hate phish”. i don’t care that you do but, i happen to really enjoy them. and i as, you hate dmb. oh well, take it easy or any way you can get it.
peace, jeff
Well, I didn’t say that I hate Phish, Emmalene did. I don’t like Phish, cause they are a wanky jam band and that just ain’t my style. But as far as wanky jam bands go, they are pretty cool, because at least they have an obvious sense of humor.
I just read DMB opinion piece on the drudgereport regarding Iraq. If the idiot only would do some research, try to educate himself then maybe he would be credible. All I can say is the guy is a blithering f…ing stooge. Add DM to the rank and file of liberal hollyfool elites. Barbara Striesand, Alec Baldwin, Susan Serandon, Sean Penn et al. These people are so stupid, are so blind and are so clueless relative to history and political issues that their political arguments are truly intellectually VACANT. They are the true morons of society propped up by the silver screen…
Dave Matthews FANS are worse than him or his boring band. A friend’s ex said that she liked to “do a little jamming” with DMB on her Hi-Fi while doing housework. BTW she’s also a big fan of Jack Johnson, another snoozing artist. There isn’t one daring thing these folks do. If baby food and Spam could be converted into music, I’m quite sure these guys are what it would sound like. BORING MUSICIANS SUCK. PEOPLE THAT ENJOY IT SUCK EVEN MORE.
Are you serious? That was just some of the most narrowminded comments I have ever read. Music is one of the most wonderful things in this world. If you do not get a certain type of music, it’s not meant for you, don’t criticize it. Do you hate the music, do you hate the fans, or do you hate yourself? Is it that hard to believe that people could enjoy something you don’t? Maybe you should open your narrow-minded, 16-year-old point of view on life and realize that every single person is different. Would you like us all to be just like you? Would that make the world a better place? If we all looked the same, listened to the same music, if we all hated those who didn’t? I would never criticize the music you choose to listen to, even though if I did not like it, I would still have some respect for, hoping that it has the same impact on you that the music I listen to does on me. Let people listen to what they want, dress how they want, be who they want, if you waste your time hating others for who they are and what they choose, you will end up losing yourself because you are absorbed with others. Open your eyes and open your mind, let other people live and let yourself live. Living a life by hate is not a life at all. There are different types of music because there are all different types of people. No one is the same, so try to stop critizing those who are not like you…I hope you find the truth behind the music, its right in front of you, just open up and look.
Jebus, people, don’t you get it. I enjoy hating you. I point out these differences between us because I like looking down on you. Continue in your plebian desires, loser, so I can continue to be better than you.
I’m sorry you feel that way, I truely am. I’m sorry you hate what you can not understand. I’ve had many friends that have made the same comments that you have, that did not understand, and did not want to. Then I introduced them to the beauty behind the music. I took a few of them to some shows with me(even though they did not really want to) but when they got there they saw the most amazing, accepting people, and the high the music alone created in them. They couldn’t believe that music could bring these people on such a great apprciation for life. They were amazed. Even though some of them still don’t “get” the music, they respect it now because they say what that music could do to these people, to their souls. One of my friends came and apologized to me after one of the shows and said he regreted critsizing the people and their music. That the people he met were some of the most amazing, open people and music was their life, and he believed that the music made them these amazing people. So please just try to accept what you can’t understand, try to see the beauty in things. You should go to a show with me this summer. June 7th is the first show of phish’s summer tour, you should stop in on one that comes around your area. My family and I will be following them around for the whole summer tour, we would love to take you in for a few night.
I like some of phish’s music mainly because they are exceptionally talented instrumentalists. But their songwriting is silly and meaningless most of they time that’s what ruins it for me. Trey sounds like a nerdy dork when he sings. Jerry Garcia is the man! Who is Dave Matthews?
Ramblinrose, you do make some valid points in your argument. However, it is all but beyond discussion that Dave Matthews band is worthless. With a name like ‘RamblinRose”, it is difficult to understand how you can favor such a group. DMB capitalized on the demise of the Grateful Dead. If you can’t see that, maybe you should change your nick.
Well, Joe, I’m not gonna argue that DMB rode in on the Dead’s coattails, but I disagree that that’s necessaryily a bad thing. Sure, Phish and DMB wouldn’t be where they are, and DMB would be way behind if Phish hadn’t taken that break, but that’s not what they meant to do.
I seriously doubt that Dave Matthews ever said at a band meeting, “Let’s just do a bunch of wanky jams at frat parties and we’ll be perfectly positioned when Jerry Garcia dies!” No, instead I prefer to believe that he sold his soul to Beelzebub.
Do the fans of Dave Matthews realized how ridiculously annoying he sounds? I would honestly compare it to scratching my fingernails across a chalkboard. I have a friend that is completely obsessed with Dave, and it is absolutely pathetic. This is the same person who thinks Insane Clown Possy is good too. Listen to some real music like Steve Miller, Bob Marley, or even Eminem for god’s sake and get back to me.
I love Dave! I mean, if I were a girl, I would be all over him! I think you guys are just being rude because you know you have less talent than a walnut. Some people might think I’m a dork but I’m proud of my unconditional love of dave matthews!! Peace hommie
I am a girl and I would definitely fuck Dave! That said, he is an amazing person and his boundless musical talent must be beyond most of you people’s heads. Hate is a very strong word. I can understand if you get annoyed by him, a lot of people seem to. However, there are just as many people who could listen to him every single day for the rest of their lives and be perfectly happy, I being one of them. I can’t explain why, other than to say that I find a kind of solace in his words. And if you think that he is annoying then you’ve sadly never played a song like “Crash Into Me” or “Lover Lay Down” when trying to bed a girl. lol You should try it sometime and perhaps you might just find yourself profusely thanking Dave!

p.s. Jack Johnson isn’t too bad either. Just cool, mellow music with words that usually don’t make too much sense.
your website sucks
dave sucks
I thought to enter this discussion, and wanted to add that i as well strongly dislike Dave and Phish. But on the other hand i greatly enjoy The Grateful Dead…i suppose musical interests just differ greatly, and its mightly hard to change someones tastes
phish really phucking sucks. cheap rip off. even trey ripped off the chuck norris look. jesus how much i despise these guys… i like the grateful dead… no reason not to, those guys ROCK! but, even phish fans suck.. all they do is rip you off on the lot and sell fake drugs… the whole phish scene is off based starting with the root of the problem…. “phish”:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p:p
I must say, I have to agree with you… I see that there is a mass following beginning with the “Phans Against Phish” campaign.. They ripped off all your money for years and years, and then, finally… They quite.. Money hungry if you asked me.. The last couple tours wasn’t about YOUR GOOD TIME.. It was about there fat pockets.. They just got up on stage and slept for a couple hours, then counted there money and snorted it. Terrible disgrace. Blasphemy. Evil. I would burn all my phish cd’s, except I never bought any. (I have plenty of coaster’s for my drinks as it is). And no, I’m not just trying to be a dick.. Is it just me, or did anyone else notice that you can no longer download unreleased soundboards, and they would rather you not download auds….. The would rather jack the price through the roof, and sell them to you! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… Now THAT’S what i call “giving back to the fans!!”… For the love of god, do you realize, that you don’t even get cd cases to put those goddamned things in?! there are saving a ton of money on A) the cd’s… B) the paper for the covers, and C) shipping to the stores, and warehouses.. all those fat-shits have to do is sit back on there rip-off asses, snort coke, and laugh at “all the dumbass fans that we have already ripped off at the shows, and commercial cds) while you just empty your pockets for MORE! BWAAHAHAHA. Do yourselves a favor…. if your going to spend your money, go out and buy yourself a Grateful Dead cd… you’ll never have that “ripped-off” sour taste in your mouth.. at which point, I won’t have to feel so sorry for you guys!
ps. When’s the reunion tour coming? surely you didn’t think that “phish would never perform again”
If there’s money to be made, you’ll find Phish on the stage.
Fuck all of you and you’re little intolerable assinine comments. Pink Floyd is better than all, well not better than the Grateful Dead, but close enough
you are all apparently many wise souls that travel this webmosphere. Good GOD what i would do to be as evolved as you. Yeah all of ya, you’re the reason losers exist!

sufficiently poisonous words do not exist to describe my vitriolic hated of phish and anyone who enjoys their music. if there is any justice in this world, one day each of them will wake up and realise that their soulless jam-band wank is eating real music like a cancer. they will then leap from the balconies of their penthouses, screaming for forgiveness, embracing ultimate salvation as the tarmac pulverises their worthless faces. then i will feel happy, and i will laugh at all the stupid fucking hippies crying into their bongs. mouthbreathing fuckwits i hope they are all painfully eviscerated with rusty knives.
Give the director a serpent deflector, a mudrat detector, a ribbon reflector, a cushion convector, a pitcher of nectar, a virile dissector,a hormone collector… whatever you do take care of your shoes.:\;-):D
good to see the young minds of america all worked up over such important issues. I think some children were killed today in Iraq. rock on bloggers. its just music folks.
Hey, some people died in Cleveland today, too, Phil. And just down the street from you.
So fuck you.
I hate Dave Matthews with the fire of a million suns. And I’m not afraid to tell my name doing it.
Dave Matthews is and amazing instrumentalist. His whole band is. Does anybody understand the talent it takes to jam? Impovisational music? Music has theory to it, i know it, dave matthews knows it, Trey knows. And thats why they do what they do and do it damn good.
i love DMB. If u don’t like them, i respect that, but i think it’s so immature to go around flaunting your disgust and hatred toward this band. I Really. what are you accomplishing!??
I’m still pissing off Dave fans five years later. So I’ve got that going for me.
Haha i don’t know why i came across this web site but i think it’s funny how alot of people will go out of their way to talk bad about a successful group; who most likely careless about what your minds conger up. Don’t get me wrong; i’m sure you all have “plenty” of room to talk. I am a Dave Matthews Band fan, but i’m also a fan of my friends band’s(sum very heavy meltal and sum rap). So i’m not gonna say the music you all listen to “sucks” or is “pointless”, ha but how about you “Dave haters” find some other ways to occupy your time thin filling up comment boxes with non-uplifting sentinces for what ever reasons you feel necessary. It’s easy for a weak person to cut someone down, but i’m sure you all have a great life.
