DMB are quiet a powerful Band it seems.

So in our biggest National newspaper it reports DMB are the 51st most powerful people in the World. It comes from a magazine over your way called "Forbes". You will know how reliable it is more than me, but i thought that was pretty cool.

Reliability of Forbes, quiet a powerful band.

Have their own record label, all members are VERY wealthy, have a lot of pull in the music industry, plus if they say "jump", millions of fanatics do — I'd say it's pretty accurate.

Yeah, that would be the Top 100 celebrities list, not the most powerful people list.

what you can't seriously think they are top one hundred most powerful people! Iran's nuclear weapon programme! fear not for dave will summon 1 million 'fanatics' and we can all go over there with our guitars and play songs of peace. In the music industry or within the celebrity world maybe but not in real life.

i think the article and Brock mean within the celebrity World, yes.

Props on quoting yourself

Check it Monk. Read the link and find that it is the 100 wealthiest celebrities. It is not hard to understand. Milligan's first post was wrong. We are not talking about the most powerful people, bar none. This is celebrities, entertainers.

If it needs further breaking down:
The Dave Matthews Band makes a lot of money. That's what makes them rich. Being musicians make them celebrities. Forbes ranked the 100 richest celebrities. Dave Matthews Band was #51 on that list.

Dave Matthews Band does not have a nuclear arms program. They are not internationally powerful. They are rich. The article says they are rich.

End.

Look, i read the first post, which has no link, and then i read bbatsell saying he agreed, then i posted, i missed the link in the 3rd post. in the first post it sais most powerful people. I don't dispute they are powerful within the music industry but obviously they are not the powerful on a global/political scale. it was a statement that required ridicule. the fact remains in the first post it said 'most powerful people'. maybe i'm guilty of not noticing a link. IS THAT A CRIME!!!

i don't know why where even argueing over this lets just accept that i'm right and move on. (joke)
