    Laughable statement Dave!

    I did take out the guitar part though.

    not everything has to be celebrity deathmatch. I'm not really into DMB, and PJ is my favorite band, but both are good and deserve respect as musicians IMO.

    I love both bands! Both amazing live bands!!

    The problem is DMB hasn't put out a decent album in a long time (a few good songs per disc)...they've been losing this battle for a long time now.

    In fact, I've really stopped going to shows because so many of their newer tunes (which are pretty much bad) are played WAY too often.

    As far as the Ed/Dave comparison...nobody will question Dave being a better guitar player, and if they do they are just a naive fool! As far as writing Dave is a mile or two behind...especially of late. Singing...well it cannot be compared! I love Dave and DMB but Ed is the man with the voice!

    true, but i wonder who would win in a fight? carter beuford, matt cameron or sean kinney. carter is big and black but matt is just a goofy psycho, sean is just plain badass.

    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.

    I like 'em both.....but I can't name the DMB guys.

    to me that says alot because I think of PJ as a more complete band. Dave Matthews can go solo and it really doesn't make any difference.

    DMB makes me sleepy sometimes

    I like them both but I would give the edge to DMB b/c the tour every year.

    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. :)

    dmb shows are boring imo. i could barely stay awake. i can listen to a few songs at home that's about it...so yeah pearl jam by 10,000 miles.

    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.
