[PapaVo]

Yes Indeed!

[DMBTattoo]

rock on!

[jdikun0916]

a win to go along with a performance is WELL deserved for the band

[dythuger]

Forgive me for my awards show ignorance, but have they never won a grammy?

[mray10]

Forgive me for my awards show ignorance, but have they never won a grammy?

They won something like best rock song for So Much To Say

[DMBTattoo]

Yes they did win that

[MUZZ]

Bump.....lets go DMB. Go win some awards tonight!!!

[RiotAct]

can't wait to ROCK OUT to You & Me! It's gonna be scorching!!!!!!!!!!


:rolleyes

[McGinnisM]

Check what I posted in the youtube thread, it looks like it's going to be a special performance tonight with "guests"

[RiotAct]

sigh... Squirm, Alligator Pie, Why I Am... what could've been.

[McGinnisM]

It should be Why I Am, IMO

[RiotAct]

It should be Why I Am, IMO

definitely... would sort of tell the world in a subtle way, with a kickass song, that the band won't ever forget Roi -- even though the Grammys may have last year.

Instead, they're performing a shitty hunk of cheese with a 490,000,000-person choir. Awesome!!! :bang

[DMBTattoo]

its going to be You & Me like the music video as the "guests"

[ha110ween]

special guest? so many are there for a rare performance!

[rickyh24]

It's just Y&M with an orchestra. It could be cool and it could be a massive train wreck.

[ha110ween]

well if you are gonna showcase "You and Me", itd better be special, due to not only the DMB fans are watching. orchestra could be a nice touch

[DMBTattoo]

like the music video

[ha110ween]

to tell you the truth, i actually can say that i have seen the video. maybe i have but forgot. either way, still looking forward to it.

[DMBdolphan]

watching it now, have a feeling DMB is gonna rock the house and win a Grammy with a tribute to Roi

:thumbsup

[MUZZ]

Looks like it may be a while before dmb performs.

[MooreSaxPlease]

Excited for this tonight.. .Can't wait for this summer!!!

[DMBdolphan]

Dave must be a fan of Zac Brown =)

[MUZZ]

Dave has been spotted

[VA Legend]

Dave is sitting behind Patton Oswalt. Awesome.

[gmunole]

ZBB won, and he gave dave a hand shake

I cant wait to see both bands this summer.

[clwatt3]

Looks like it may be a while before dmb performs.

Last 45 minutes is my guess.

[MUZZ]

Overall...this hasn't been that bad so far. I probably wouldn't watch at all if it wasn't for dmb.

[McGinnisM]

Well with Zac Brownnopening like 15 shows this summer, I'm guessing Dave is a fan.

[ha110ween]

Dave must be a fan of Zac Brown =)

there are opening for Dave a few times this year

[McBong]

BEP suck so much.

[DMBdolphan]

Well with Zac Brownnopening like 15 shows this summer, I'm guessing Dave is a fan.

there are opening for Dave a few times this year
I guess I need to check the opening bands then for this tour

[ha110ween]

[gmunole]

ZBB is opening at Alpine.

[ha110ween]

ZBB is opening at Alpine.

couldnt remember if it was Alpine or Indy.

[gmunole]

alpine, hershey, and all the baseball shows.

[HENRYGPROD]

Its just sad how watered down music has become compared to the past. Beyonce is what alot of people call the best. Copied songs and recycled beats

[mxpxillini35]

my buddy told me that one of Beyonce's songs and Kelly Clarkson's song are exactly the same...

they both bought the melody from someone, but put their own words to it...

[HENRYGPROD]

Yes thats true! Its written by the same guy and gave it to both of them for there new album lol

[McBong]

Its just sad how watered down music has become compared to the past. Beyonce is what alot of people call the best. Copied songs and recycled beats

I remember my GF at the time dragging me to see Destiney's Child when they played at Fiesta Texas. Gawd the shit I put up with back then. Never again. :thumbsdown

[HENRYGPROD]

hahaha you have a tough stomach! I mean she is OK and has a pretty good voice but to beat out so many others. Even Pink has so much more talent then her even though she samples copied beats as well

[mxpxillini35]

If you take a listen to Kelly Clarkson's song "Already Gone" and Beyoncé's song "Halo" (check them out below), you might notice a distinct similarity between the two tunes.

Turns out that's because a songwriter for both artists, Ryan Tedder (left), allegedly gave them each the same backing track for their vocals.

Kelly revealed to Canada's CBC radio network that she only found out about the duplication just before her album shipped and, in addition to trying to keep it the song being released, apparently confronted Ryan. "I don't understand. Why would you do that?" she asked him. "No one's gonna be sittin' at home, thinking 'Man, Ryan Tedder gave Beyonce and Kelly the same track to write to.' No, they're just gonna be saying I ripped someone off."


Guess that's why you should always make sure you have talent before you go becoming a star...

[LieIn0urGraves]

Im so confused by this right now!

[clwatt3]

Guess that's why you should always make sure you have talent before you go becoming a star...

Or write your own stuff.

[HENRYGPROD]

Im so confused by this right now!


Haha what about?

[LieIn0urGraves]

Haha what about?

Who was that huge black woman that came on stage just now?

[HENRYGPROD]

See like i cant even really stand Taylor Swift "my gf loves her" but at least she writes her own shit

[School]

i know we all love dmb but i think the stupid music industry is going to show them no love. I hope im wrong

[mxpxillini35]

Or write your own stuff.

I guess that's what I meant...have the talent to write your own stuff before playing with the big dogs...

mainstream music is such shit nowadays...hardly anyone writes their own stuff...how can you be called a musician? You're just a frontman (or woman)

[HENRYGPROD]

i know we all love dmb but i think the stupid music industry is going to show them no love. I hope im wrong

who is dmb?

[gmunole]

0-1

[School]

bullshit

[MUZZ]

bullshit
+1

[rayskin]

fuck green day

[School]

now if you think about if they didnt win best rock album how the hell are they going to win best album of the year

[rickyh24]

Swing and a miss on Award 1

[rickyh24]

now if you think about if they didnt win best rock album how the hell are they going to win best album of the year

this is my thinking too. Some people say it doesn't matter but I don't follow that logic.

[LieIn0urGraves]

zbb is pretty ba

[gmunole]

1 hr to go

[HENRYGPROD]

now if you think about if they didnt win best rock album how the hell are they going to win best album of the year

I totally agree!

[MUZZ]

now if you think about if they didnt win best rock album how the hell are they going to win best album of the year

i agree, but a few of the other artists up for album of the year lost out on record of the year to kings of leon...i am trying to keep hope.

Could not agree more. Bad music puts me in a bad mood. Kinda sucks.

[School]

[School]

[HENRYGPROD]

Could not agree more. Bad music puts me in a bad mood. Kinda sucks.

Im with you. It gets me so worked up. My friends are always like calm down. But the musician inside me gets me mad that my friends and the rest of the nation listen to crap. there are so many other talented bands playing in Austin for example

[LieIn0urGraves]

[LieIn0urGraves]

[ChiefFan08]

Solid performance, not my fav song but good for a tv performance.

I know i'm just a bitter DMB fan, but Taylor Swift sounds awful live...good thing she has some good producers in the studio.

[gmunole]

Time Ranks the performances.

[thesavageguy]

Am I the only one that doesn't like You & Me? So many better songs on the album they could be publicizing!

Groo Groo for life bitchez!

[DMBfan]

I was hoping for the funky Why I Am, but they have to please the masses with their current single I guess...great performance

[hoggdogg]

I liked it at first.. But I am def. over it now.


Groo Groo King, represent!!!

[rickyh24]

I know i'm just a bitter DMB fan, but Taylor Swift sounds awful live...good thing she has some good producers in the studio.

She really does sound awful live. She is a studio artist. So pretty much she is really not as good as people think at doing what she does.

[hoggdogg]

While I am not a Taylor Swift fan, as a mother of 2 young girls, I can appreciate what she does in comparison to other 'artists' (for lack of a better word) of that genre.

My girls love her, and because of her want to learn to play the guitar, rather than wear tons of make up and carry dogs around in bags.

[DMBfan]

She writes her own songs...kudos to her

[guster14]

I agree w/ both of you, she is very musically talented and so far has been a good role model for kids. Hopefully that doesn't change.

I agree...if I had a daughter, I would pray every night that she would turn out like Taylor Swift and not some of these other "singers" like Lady Gaga. There are A LOT worse options out there. I really have nothing bad to say about her but her performance last night was off. Maybe she just had a bad night or was nervous.

[rickyh24]

My mom listens to country music and she says the radio stations in her area are blaming the bad performance on Stevie Nicks. :lol


edit: I actually just bought her Crash, UTTAD and Luther College. She says she has loved what she has heard so far so I'm working on the country thing.

[hoggdogg]

She def. has a lot of potential.. She can (somewhat) sing, plays an instrument, writes... if she stays off the pole, she will defintely go places.

Although I did hear she was dating John Mayer *eek*

seeing Tim play next to Rashawn was funny, but I loved the performance, it was great.
