This just reinforces what everyone knew already: Fans of Dave Matthews Band are serial rapists.

i don't think they are going to find the guy the assualted the girl
on the news they said he was "a white male, about 18-20, blond spiked hair, wearing a white polo shirt"
doesn't really narrow it down much being that those are the only people going to dave mathews concerts...

Dave Matthew's music is very pleasant and not as threatening as most of the music on this site.

What's a "full festival set"? Will the other artists each perform only a partial festival set?
Meh, I'm not planning to go, anyway.

threatening?

I've always said Dave Matthews is the best music for date-raping chicks who have had too much too fast.
Also nice music to date-rape by:
O.A.R.
Dispatch
Matisyahu
Indigo Girls, Ani DiFranco (ironically)

A ZZ Top show seems like it would be nine kinds of awesome

I know the fans suck...ok they dont just suck, they get drunk and molest girls like most frat boys do.
But I will say that they are one of the most talanted groups of musicians around. the live show is super tight. I've seen them a few times and if your into an amazing live show, they WILL blow you away.
back to the fans.... annoying drunk teenagers, binge drinking frat boys, girls that drink more then they can handle (obviously), and 30+ women looking to re-live there youth.
im not a huge fan, i dont buy the cd's..i just get tickets when they come around cause the musicianship is super impressive.

hey anonymous 5:30 i think you just posted THE funniest comment i've ever read on BV. if your serious...i pity you. i highly doubt anyone gives a damn that you think Dave Matthews is super impressive live. much less that these are your thoughts in response to a girl being sexually assaulted at a Dave Matthews concert.

6:17, I wish someone would assault you in the bathroom with a plunger.

you wouldn't catch me dead at the show, but they are reporting now that no rape ocurred and the 15 year old girl who made the claim had consensual sex with another 15 year old and was just ridiculously drunk. typical DMB fans. they are charging some 42 year old woman for providing the kids with the alcohol instead.

none of you pansies could survive a Dave Matthews concert, much less Greg Allman.
May you burn in hell.
