nicky6 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I am sure there a lot of dMB fans here, sure I get it, they are very talented ect. A lot of people swear their drummer is better than neil and is the best drummer of all time. I heard it all. Dave never fails live, blah blah. I personally cant stand them. I think they are like cooperate college music. Rush to me is better. But I think they are way overrated as I feel the same about pearl jam too, and yes I been told that John mayer is a better guitar player than alex. go figure..

rugen Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Don't care if there's some players out there better than our Rush players, i just think that those bands doesn't match what the trio can produce musically. Petrucci of Dream Theater could be better than Alex or take a more dominant role in his band, but i would take Rush best albums before the best of Dream Theater. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeson90 Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 In Rush v anybody, Rush never loses but, a few manage an honourable draw. I listen to genesis more than rush these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J2112YYZ Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Rush, obviously. The Dave Matthews band are not even that good. I've never understood why they're so popular and why they're considered to be so talented? I've never heard a good song from them and Dave Matthews voice is just terrible, one of the worst I've ever heard. They play the local amphitheater here almost every summer (20,000 capacity) and they usually sell it out. I just don't get the appeal at all. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicky6 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I dont either. but i know someone who swears they are the most talented band ever, and they never fail live. and thier drummer will wipe neil up ect. But i think neil will still win in most arguments as being more of a legacy and better drummer. Everyones hear d of neil when rush is mentioned. but people all say DMB drummer. but most people who say that cant even tell you his name..

LedRush Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I really like DMB, but I don't understand why you'd be comparing the two bands. They are very, very different. I love DMB's first 5 albums (including the EP), and they are an amazing live band with energy, spontaneity, and fun. Most of the band are great musicians, too.  But DMB seems to have petered out into boring sameness, having produced nothing interesting to me in the last 12 years or so. Rush always expanded and grew, and operates in a genre of music that I enjoy more. I'll pick Rush in a heartbeat, but that doesn't mean that DMB isn't (or at least wasn't) quite good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x1yyz Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I've never heard the DMB. And I don't care if they are better musicians than Rush—I don't listen to Rush because they are "the best"; I listen to them because I like them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 (edited) I saw some live concert with them on TV one time and they all seem to be decent musicians. But in no way shape or form would I put them in the same category as Rush. Their songwriting is pretty sub-par as well.

KennyLee Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 DMB is repetitive jam band stuff. Far from clever. Descent musicianship but that ain't all it takes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could go see phish or gov't mule and have a good time - they usually have some alright jams, and you have a chance of seeing some decent covers and scoring lots of drugs. and those umphrey's mcgee guys are ok I guess, but still, I can't really sit down and listen to any of these guys, especially not studio stuff. I've tried really hard to get into the dead, but it ain't happenin. they have some cool live stuff though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer their earlier work, but this was the album that made them big, and they have their tongues firmly plated in cheeks on a lot of the lyrics...they're quite good.
