Not really sure how I got into them. I guess it was a couple of years ago when I realized that some of the songs I liked were played from them. I hate when you know a song for so long, than you find out the song was played by a band you know.

People I was in highschool with. Damn them cause its like a addiction really, I spend more time practising guitar than I do practising my sax and I have a audition in a week and a half.

It was hearing the jam in Crush for the first time, just that guitar riff with the violin solo got me hooked.

i know that dave didnt do stream dude. what im saying is that after i heard that song i actually started paying attention to the rest of the songs on the cd. therefore becoming more intrested in Daves songs.

A friend of mine when i was in highschool, his name was Mike-E. He got me started on dmb in like 93-94 cause he had lived on the east coast and got a hold of one of the original R2T cd's. I wish i had stole that from him, he stole a shit-load of my U2 collection. Anyway, i think it was Minarets that got me hooked initially. I loved the middle-eastern sound.
Ofcourse there was Ants and Tripping Billies.
I just couldn't believe that soo many different musicians, playing different instruments could mesh together soo well. I didn't start playing the guitar until i was 18 but i think it worked out well cause i firmly believe that you can't truely learn to play a song unless you know how to sing the song back and forth.

DMB, man they are something special to me.

Thats how I feel too man. And with Crash being my first CD and UTTAD being my second, I can sing and play those songs better than most others just because I know them inside and out.

Singing and playing aint exactly easy, at least for people like me to do. I can do it but its really sketchy. Im doing Nancies right now though for practise as its really easy to play and sing since there isnt much going on.

My sister got me hooked on it. I think the thing that really got me into it was when I saw the 'I Did It' music video. I was a weird kid, so I thought that any band that could have THAT much fun with just a music video was worth checking out. But I was also lazy.

I don't think I REALLY got into DMB till after I played through Some Devil once or twice. Which, in turn, led me to listen to the actual band, as opposed to Dave as solo. I do like Some Devil alot, but since I listened to the whole band, I havn't listened to that whole CD in a while.

growing up i would always hear SMTS and WWYS on the radio and i loved his voice. once i started playing guitar i became hooked on his style of playing (i stumbled accross this site looking for WWYS tabs)
