[QUOTE="Xar666, post: 262397, member: 1145"] [b]Re: Re: Re: Phil Collins Syndrome[/b] Ok, seriously, you can outright hate DMB but this statement is ignorant. Carter Beauford has been recognized by drummers ranging from Death Metal to Jazz as being one of the best in popular music today. No one plays the complex polyrythms that man pulls off in modern popular music, period. I will concede this point. Some people don’t like his voice and I can understand that. Uh, he plays in ninths. Is he the most technical guitarist? No. However his stretches and unconventional chord voicings, matched with his excellent writing skills make his playing extremely original. You say he plays five chords in a loop? He is a RHYTHM guitarist. That is what he does. And it is much harder to play what Dave Matthews plays than all the other lame rock band guitarists out there right now that play open chords in the key of E, C or A and power chords in E minor. Musical tastes are subjective. You can say you hate them and their music. Fine, that is your opinion. However, to say they suck is a lie. I just don’t understand the hatred toward DMB. In a world full of manufactured crap where no artists play instruments or write their own music/lyrics, how people can have such disgust for them. They write all the music and lyrics and play all the music. They are totally humble and good people. Dave Matthews himself drives a 1992 Subaru outback. There is so much crap in the music industry, how could one not at least respect them? [/QUOTE]
