when did you hear Dave the first time in you live? which song? what do you thing about this song now?
I was listenig to ben harpers cover of "song that jane likes" and one day i wondere what "DMB cover" behind the mp3 tag meant so i searched for more...the rest is history
at first CHRISTMAS SONG and the part "whend jesus christ....." let my neck hair stand up....and that hasn't changed this 5 secons are in my opinion the absolute absolution of music
î know the song isn't the same as a rapunzel....but this feeling....

kinda same for me.
I was at a beach house in Del Mar california and it was getting late and I had been running aroudn the beach all day chasin tail and the video came on. I thought, who the hell is this and god this chorus sucks. But I actually dug it, but it was too different form my taste. Then I heard ants on the radio and knew i liked the music a lot.
didnt buy any albums though.
I heard crash and got turned off from the band. liked the song a little, but not my taste, didnt like SMTS either (still one of my least fav songs). so that kept me from beign a huge fan.
Then I came across a copy of UTTAD and started to get really into them and never looked back.
Fell in love with them weird enough when I heard dave on storytellers doing Crush. Right then I knew it was going to be my favorite band ever.
I had always been a fan, but sadly enough it was the album Everyday that got me seriously in love with the band. It was a good thing because the music only got better from that point as I discovered more. When you start at the bottom, you can only go up
I was like who the fuck is this guy? What's up with the way he's singing? The guitar was totally like inventing the atom bomb or something, I was mesmerized, confused and awed.

I remember hearing Ants in 7th grade maybe. I borrowed Crash from someone in 9th grade and turned it off after like 2 songs. Got into them senior year.

haha, same as me exactly except i think i'm a couple years older.
Ants will always be one of my favorites, i've grown to love WWYS, but that chorus just was lame when I heard it back then, Ants however should be everyone's first dmb song.
I forgot when but a long time ago, somebody posted Tripping Billies on a drum forum for everybody to check out Carter's playing abilitites. Was impressed, but tuned it out. Came back DMB after about a couple of months after that and listened to them ever since.
I hated Satellite and Crash Into Me when I was in high school, so I projected that onto the whole band. Even though I disliked the music at the time I still recognized the uniqueness and talent that they possesed however.
Anyway, one hot ass day in '99 me and a friend stopped by this dude's apartment and while we were all baked we stumbled upon Dave & Tim Storytellers. They played Crush and it just blew my mind. I went out and picked up BTCS the next day, had my mind blown some more, and picked up UTTAD & Crash over the next couple of months. It wasn't until April of '02 when I saw my first live show, however, that my fandom exploded into what it is today.

First time ever? I Did It on MTV. Loved them ever since.
First time Live was woodstock but never got a chance to really sit down and listen. I watched Central Park and creamed my pants, at this point I had all the albums but no live stuff... that has radically changed ever since.
Some dude played Ants with a band he got together at a retreat I went to maybe six years ago. A few months later my sister asked me to get some album called "Before These Crowded Streets" for her birthday. I did, but had no idea who they were. Then I remember hearing crash and hating the drumming on that song, to me it seemed like they were adding a military marching beat to an otherwise pretty tune. Then I stole L@LC from her a few times and was hooked.
Forget about the reasons and the treasons we are seeking
Forget about the notion that our emotions can be swept away, kept at bay
Forget about being guilty, we are innocent instead
For soon we will all find our lives swept away
in like the 7th grade i played guitar all the time and was playing OAR and some ben harper and my friends was like hey do you know any dave and i was like not really...so he gave me UTTAD and with in a week i was hooked and knew half of the songs... and the rest is magic...

I saw the WWYS video on MTV late at night while I was workin grave yard at a tard farm. I immediately bought the UTAD and listened to it for like 6 months straight.
