What drew you to DMB?

Unread post by Weepy Harrison » Mon Apr 17, 2006 5:07 pm

i'm a noob and i only just started listening to DMB until very recently i used to listen to bands like Trivium and Killswitch Engage and whatnot but a while back i had seen the DMB storytellers (whole band not just Dave and Tim) and i was just blown away by Dave's voice.

So here's my question:
Why did you start listening to DMB? what was it that amazed you or you thought was cool that you just had to hear more?

I saw him on Farm Aid in High Def. It was so awesome, I stood there for like 20 minutes. Obsessed ever since...

I Always knew who they were because of songs like Crash, and Ants, but didn't realize how amazing they were until i downloaded a whack of songs one day ( i have a bunch of albums and dvd' s so don't hate) and then in like the same week saw the central park dvd...this was also around the same time i picked up guitar (roughly 3 years ago)

After that i learned so much about the band, like how carter annihilates other drummers...casual DMB fans don't realize how good this band is. I feel like a preacher some times to my friends when i try to tell them about DMB.....anyway i'm rambling...DMB has become and remains my fav. band.

had never heard of them before, i was jet laged in a hotel in atlanta, the day they showed Listener supported on TV, i listened to a few songs and was very impressed. by chance saw the album cover when in the airport lounge and bought it.
put on disk 2 by chance, 3 is my fav number so i heard two step. i used to play the drums and was blown away by the paino, drums and how the lyrics wernt bespoke hooks for the song, more like concious thought. so i ordered a few albums of the net. now they are my fav band for 9 years.

Stated listening to them in 1994 after hearing WWYS on the radio, they have been my favorite band ever since

when i first started playing guitar is when i heard DMB for the first time and liked it. I was almost to the point of giving up on learning the instrument because it wasn't any fun to me. then i heard #40>LIOG from Live at Chicago. i bought the cd for my self and have been hooked every since. o ya...istill play guitar too :D

only recently got into them when i started learning how to play their stuff on acoustic.

initially, i liked what would you say, one sweet world, and two step.

chicks dig it
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away

actually i think the storytellers got me interested and what really got me was a vid of All Along The Watchtower at woodstock that was the shizzle!
