I realize there’s a lot of monkeys throwing poop in your general direction right now. Truth be told, you’re bringing it on yourself by continuing with these posts. However, I gotta say man, I’m actually starting to wonder if you don’t REALLY need some help.
If you’re just playing the game, dragging this out as long as possible, that’s one thing. But if you’re really as bothered by all this as your recent posts imply, if you’re actually thinking about this like it matters, or when you aren’t online, particularly at Stereogum, it’s probably time to step away for a bit.
None of us know you from a hole in the wall. None of us can actually look at your face and judge the seriousness of what you’re saying, or the affect of what we’re saying in return. For my own part, and I’m hoping you take this seriously, I think you need to hear a few times over that IT’S NOT THAT IMPORTANT! It’s just the internet man. Shake it off. Let it go. Move on to something that actually matters. Preferably something in the “real world” where REAL people actually care about you and your life.
He should study how I took over the DMB Gaucho thread. There’s brilliance in that one.
Yeah, I agree. But he’s pretty inconsistent in a live setting – sometimes from one show to the next (The Motherfucking Band made up for that). I’ve seen him live, I think, five or six times since 87 and every show has been a completely different experience playing wise.
It’s an investment GROUP. “Bono” doesn’t own 2.3% of anything, only a fraction of that. The investment GROUP that he is a part of owns 2.3%. Also, dude has already said most of the profits from this investment will go to Africa.
I don’t gamble. So I’ll just say that I’m certain you’re an unimaginative asshole.
I like that performance of Miss You more than the 19th Nervous Breakdown/Only Rock n’ Roll medley they did on the show.
Ahhhhhhh. I love the sweet, sweet smell of success in the morning.
Well…. ummm…. OK. If that makes you happy.
And fuck both of you…. man!
Reading is fundamental, regardless of what you’re listening to while you do it.
Yeah! Exactly.
Oh wait. I forgot. As much as I like them, I don’t actually think DMB fits the vibe of Stereogum.
At least you’re keeping you hate spread around evenly. No need to blow it all at once.
Hey Cerebus, I’m sure you meant to say NEEDS, in the plural. Not need.
Why yes, Cerebus. You’re right. I did.
Come on people! More complaining! This post only need fifteen more comments to make it to number two!
Awwww. How cute! Somebody believes their angry, petulant downvotes actually matter. Satan bless them.
Failing.
I’ll figure it out someday.

Testing.
Grey Street is a spectacularly good song. Particularly in a live setting.
Shoot, I even gave you and upvote!
Honestly, it doesn’t even matter that much to me. I’m cool with my liking and others disliking DMB. I said exactly what I wanted to get across in that regard in my first post. But when I read all the hyperbolic negative comments I thought it would be fun to run up the responses and keep this sucker on the Most Commented chart for a bit. So far so good. Time to shoot for Number Two!
Oh haha. You’re comment is so mature and witty. You must be very proud. However could I possibly add something as valuable as that to the collective intellect of teh internets?
How can somebody give a downvote to a fact? Ha! I love Stereogum.
Speaking for myself, I’ll never mention that a band contains good players as a reason for somebody else to like a band. Rather, I mention it as an reason for why I like them. Or more to the point, why they don’t “suck”, which is what so many people think of as an intelligent comment these days. I’m drawn to music that contains skillful playing. It frosts my pickle, so to speak.
Also, I care, and so do a lot of other people. You give two examples of people who WROTE GREAT SONGS. They wrote songs that caught your attention and were either fun to listen to (The Ramones), or related to your life socially or politically at the time (Dylan). Very few bands that don’t know how to play their instruments make the impact of those two artists without being able to write great songs. DMB, in my opinion, has both. Great songwriting and great musicianship.
Lastely, I don’t believe in guilty pleasures. Such a bass ackwards concept. If I like something, I like it. Why should I feel guilty about it? (This last part isn’t necessarily directed at you – just my general feeling on that term.)
OK, lemme try this again.

MeanT! Lawd I have spelling issues this evening. Oh well. This post needs about a 1000 more responses so it ends up hanging around the Most Commented, annoying people.
OMG, she looks so different!
Oh wait… no she doesn’t.
