RAab Stevenson is the man

[SeeMoreDMB]

Anyone know how long Dave has been working with Raab? His vocals sound so awesome, perfect blend of old Dave character and a weathered raspy feel.

i think he's lost a lot of character, but pitch is spot on

Saw this dude in my seat when I went to get a beer Chicago N2 for D&T. When he got up to move, I said "please tell me Dave is playing Spoon tonight" and he laughed and shoved me away. Super epic.

Lol this thread is hilarious. I thought that he might've done something similar on his last show after I watched the end of Some devil.

It seems like he says something to the guards regarding a fan but maybe it's my imagination lol.

Yo robbie if you read up in here i give you some wisdom from the great trent reznor' ballad Heresy:

"Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there
Your god is dead and no one cares
If there is a hell I'll see you there"

Damn I just realized I was standing 10 feet away from Raab at Ballsfest and didn't realize it until right now, he's in a random video I took, if I had known I would have loved to talk to him

He really is a pretty cool guy. Met him at Alpine last year in the pit before the show. He was chatting with a few others too. We talked for a few short minutes, about baseball and the NBA of all things

It's kind of weird how some fans worship the guy though.

Yeah I just would love to talk to him because I'm a vocalist and think some of the things Dave is doing is pretty interesting, seems like a cool guy and he is incredibly knowledgeable. He has a very good seminar thing on YouTube.

I have no doubt that he is very good at what he does. He works with some of the biggest artists around. And I think he has helped Dave quite a bit these last few years

I saw him give the women behind us one of Dave's guitar picks and a setlist with a Dave drawing on it that was also signed by Dave. They were freaking out. He then came down to me and said "I saw you" and handed me two of Carter's drum sticks that were used that night and a setlist (unsigned). It was my 25th show and this experience made it unforgettable. Just thought I'd share! Also curious if he does this nightly or what because I hadn't heard about it previously.

This happened to me in Hollywood I was actually in the pit at Chula Vista and was able to get in the selfie I so wanted a pick and in Hollywood our tickets where mid way up and I though to myself no way will I get a pick or setlist let me just enjoy the band. I sang, danced and had a great time and long story short he came up to me and handed me the pick. Then right before the encore he brought me the setlist !!!!!

I met Raab on the lawn a few years back. Just said hello and asked him how the tour was going for a couple minutes. He was pretty cold and kind of a dick to me… but looked to be very pleasant to the other people he was talking to so I don’t think he was just having a bad day. Just got a weird vibe from him.

RAab will always be the man who "sampled" Keith Sweat's How Deep is Your Love on his song Foreplay. I remember first hearing it thinking...wait a minute...sounds awfully familiar to something.

Got the same vibe from him. He's very high on himself, though he seems to be "nice" to other people. I think he wants the fans to want something from him. So if you go up to him and go omg it's RAAAAB! This is so cool. How is working with Dave? OMG. He'll like you.
