DMB is the band for people who don't really know what rock'n'roll is. I'm sorry, but based on the people I knew in college that like his stuff, it's the soundtrack for people who have never had good sex, never got out of the suburbs, and who think that you can eat good food at places like the Olive Garden. There is nothing to me about DMB that is extraordinary. Yes, he can play guitar. Yes, the other people in the band can play their instruments. But when it all comes together it has about as much balls as the Vienna Boys Choir. It's just my opinion, can't help it...I feel like I have Tourette's whenever they come on the radio and the only remedy is to go listen to about 5 hours of Black Sabbath, Black Flag and Minor Threat on loop. The only bands I hate more than DMB are probably the Barenaked Ladies, Everything, and maybe Emmet Swimming. Whew...OK, I feel better now!
And for the record, I think it says something that they were the band dripping piss and shit while driving along. Makes me crack up every time I hear about it.
