CRASH INTO ME

i was a casual fan from crash to busted stuff but after stand up came out i discovered his older stuff, and i am loving it. i'm practically becoming obsessed. 99% of the songs i learn these days on guitar and bass are dmb songs

Crash was my first hard copy of a CD I got back in 96. It was the only one I had so it was the only one I listened to for like 5 months. Loved it, been hooked since.

(about 4 years ago)I had been learning guitar for about a year and was about as far along as i ever thought i was going to be. I always thought there were two ways to play a guitar, basic rhythm (G, C, D.... Em when you get fancy) and lead electric. I had never seen it played any other way.

then my brother showed me a video that he downloaded, it was the So much to say music video, and i was completely blown away.

his hands didn't stop moving!! I didn't know you could play guitar like that and he was a god in my eyes. so i immediately downloaded any video with his name on it:

the stone : kfog solo performance
all along the watchtower : woodstock
one sweet world : farmaid
storytellers : dave and tim

and i was hooked. i later found this website and it took my guitar playing to a completely different level. and i haven't stopped listening to the band since.

The immediate draw for me was their sound was unlike anything out at the time. Then I started to pay attention to the lyrics and realized that this wasn't just another band. They play with passion night in and night out, which is very addicting. Dave is very charismatic but when you look past his greatness as a performer, you see four completely unique and talented musicians. Carter is in a league of his own as far as percussion goes. Boyd's energy he brings to the table is incredible and Fonzy is one of the most underrated bass guitarists around. Leroi adds beautiful color and layering to complex musical arrangements. Put all of this talent together in one room, it can only be discribed as truely magical.

I owned crash for awhile, listened to it but I dont think I comprehended it. A girl took me to a concert in '99 I believe and I was blown away. Next day went to the store and bought every cd I could find. Have been hooked ever since, and they are also the reason I started playing guitar.

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.

haha i know the feeling. yeah for me it was the central park dvd that my cousin showed me. and then it became a whole new love when i started guitar 8 months ago and realized how insanely talented they are.

oh, and dmbtabs, welcome to it.

first heard them when i was probably 3rd or 4th grade I think... I liked them casually, and how I heard of them was my brother had UTT&D where I heard Satellite , Dancing Nancies, and my favorite Ants. I then remember seeing the Crash video like a year or two after I believe on MTV and i think that was 5th or 6th grade? Again I listened to them casually now and then had them on my playlist on WinAmp like an album or two. Then everything changed when I saw them live for the first time just a few years ago. After that I got more of their albums, picked up LALC which actually got me started with guitar, and now I have like 4 or 5 gigs just of Dave and DMB songs on iTunes. The rest is history

Love these guys and Dave.
