Dave Matthews sucks ass. They might put on a good show, but I go to see music I like, not a circus.
This just sucks that the Avetts are always talking about how they don't want to get pegged as a bluegrass or jam band and then make a move like this. Why not go on tour with some big indie rock band since they listen to way more of that stuff anyway. Either way, I will never give Dave Matthews any or my money.

At least they'll be getting paid a ton.

probably not since they are the openers. I would bet they make less for this than a normal show. I guess they'll make more in merch.

most of you have probably never taken the time to look at how talented the guys in dave matthews band are. regardless of whether or not you like how their music sounds (because i hardly like their music), those guys are some of the best musicians i have ever heard.
in terms of grasping how to play music well and understanding theory, they rival Dillinger. no joke. they may not play as fast, but they are certainly just as talented.

there are a lot of talented people in awful bands. i don't care how good at their instruments they are, they still are in a shitty band. most of my favorite bands have people in them that weren't particularly good at their instruments, but wrote incredible music.

theres a difference in being a talented musician and a talented song writer

i never said they were talented songwriters.
thats why i don't even like to listen to their music. i just don't think they receive the credit they deserve for their immense abilty to actually play music well.
songwriting ability and musicianship are equally respectable, whether a band possesses either one or both.
and i'm the same way. the majority of my favorite bands possessed minimal talent as musicians...such as mineral.

ok so fuck dave matthews band, no care. i'm stoked that the avett brothers get to play to bigger crowds, who cares about the money, who cares about any of it. two guys who write amazing songs and play amazing live shows from NC are about to get even more of a fanbase then they already have. if you're not stoked for them or you don't support this, please let me know.  |
