the same could be said about pj "pj hasn't put out a decent album since vitalogy"
ed has the better voice period,done,end
i do give respect to DMB though, both pj and DMB seem to be the most "jammy" mainstream rock bands that even alot of hippies like haha.
Like I said, both are tremendous bands...I just think PJ has been more "consistently good".
I think a lot of fans who haven't heard PJ would say PJ hasn't been good since Vitalogy.
I, a fan of both fans, own all PJ and all DMB discs and I can say without much doubt in my mind the overall quality of PJ has been consistently better for many years.
Honestly, I think one of the best things DMB could do is to kinda go their own ways for a while. Get away from the constant touring, go somewhere and get inspired...write the quality music they are capable of! I think their constant tours for the last 7 years cannot be good for their creativity...maybe that's just me.
I actually saw DMB in Dallas this last Saturday night, and it was a good show, but DMB is no Pearl Jam...not even close. Before I went to the show that night I watched the new PJ DVD and it made it even more clear...nobody is as tight as PJ, nobody!
*also on a side note, I've come to realize that Dave Matthews is the Paul Simon of our generation...think about it, the connection to Africa, loves horns, tons of people on stage etc.

Except Dave Matthews is a better singer, guitar player, and all-around better person than Edward Severson.
Dave Matthews Sucks, his band sucks, and so do you... Nuff said.

This is like comparing the Grateful Dead to Led Zeppelin. Well maybe a bit extreme but still you get the point. DMB is more of a jam band playing to create a vibe. Pearl Jam is more of classic rock band.
Both are awesome but of course my preference is Pearl Jam.
I've seen DMB twice and have seen hundreds of concerts over the years and those two are definately near the bottom. Like some of his albums, but for some reason his live shows don't agree with me - feel he is very overrated IMO.

dave, your music is very sissy. i think you should make a lullaby album for infants. your band is great but i don't care because i don't want to hear anybody playing those songs. oh, and 75% of the people at your concerts suck. funny i'm saying this as tiki barber, because i know tiki is a big dmb fan. but i'm not really tiki, just a little secret in case you were wondering.
I like some DMB songs...but I've seen them at Bridge a couple a times, and it just felt like an endless set, and not in a good way...in fact, last year my friend was begging me to leave just because they were going on and on and on...
Dave Matthews on the ground in a bloody heap with a Doc Marten tread clearly visible on what is suspected to be his face.
and to the guy in Canada who thinks DMB is better live than PJ,lay of the cheese it's constipating your brain.

Pearl Jam becuase they have an actual and true fan base and arent full of wussies.
Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.

dave is washed up. he hasnt had a good record in years and his bread and butter, live shows, have sucked balls recently.

but i would take eddie burping on the mic with mike playing a banjo :cool:
pearl jam
One could argue that this has been a negative for DMB over the last few years.
Jw
But seriously, why is everything a fucking contest? And why are we humoring this Ghost?
BTW, I like both bands but DMB's last two albums have been pretty sub-par.
PJ - better studio albums...great punk rock songs...better front man
DMB - better drummer...better live in some ways..do an amazing job of changing songs from each tour

You can argue the music, but Dave is 6 ft 3 and EV is a little skinny rat.

unfortunately, he's an incredibly crapp songwriter, and stone gossard and mike can outplay dave one handed.
dmb does have a better percussion section though.

dave is 6ft3? haha. where did you get that information?
ive seen pearl jam 4 times, dmb 9 times. i really can't compare the two, except that stand up is the worst album out of their combined discographies.
