Why Tim's presence in the studio is a great thing...

not only does he add nothing but amazing details to dmb's songs,
but he's another musical genius to bounce ideas off of. i think dave
is extremely inspired by Tim, more so than anyone else in the band.
and with Tim in the studio, dave's creative juices will really get flowing
and hopefully the rest of the band's

what do you all think? am i right?

    I think it's common sense to think that, so I guess you're right.

    Whenever you put Dave and Tim together in the studio, good things happen. They have given us no reason to believe otherwise.

    Also, I believe Tim changes Dave. In some amazing, positive way ~ he makes Dave better.

    i agree i think dave strives to impress tim, therefore making him more creative..... if tim was in the studio i dont think " i dig a hole all the way to china, unless of course you are there" would have ever made its way onto a piece of paper or out of daves mouth!

    I hope so. The big three albums and tLWS all had Tim and Lillywhite, and they were all great. Some Devil didnt have Lillywhite, but DID have Tim and it was great. So hopefully Tim has a lot to do with it and can make this album good.

    All of this is proof that Tim's presence with Dave results in greatness!

    I actually believe that Tim IS the Dave Matthews Band. Its actually his talent that is channeled through the five "members" of the band. Evidence is pretty clear on this (UTD, Crash, BTCS). Without him, they are just five ordinary guys with no idea of how to use their equipment....

    Without Tim, DMB are like those basket players in Space Jam!

    not much room for debate on this one. Tim + DMB = better results than DMB - Tim

    Some crazy people disagree. But not me.

    Tim has always sounded like he belongs in the band.

    I agree, the only time he ever sounded slightly out of place was with some of his solos on the 98 tour. I didn't mind them personally, I love Tim, but I can see people saying he sounded a bit out of place. But the color and layers he adds to the first three studio records fits right in, and is an integral part to their studio sound.

    Because Tim's style is more rock and jam that Batson's style and he is about details, which are SO important to this band.

    I am a huge tim fan, especially when hes with the band. i really do think he has made a big difference in some of the music we have gotten from them over the years......but i have to say i thought there would be more change from cornbread. im not trying to be a downer, but with tim in the studio there really wasnt that much change from the song, so now im not sure how some of hte other songs we know will change. i still have optimism, and i did enjoy the cornbread from last night, so we shall see.

    you nay-sayer! shame on you! i say November release...we have no idea how much they already have done in the studio. they've been in there so long. i think it will be released after the tour but definitely not during...that would be cool, but it won't happen

    I'm pretty sure Dave was playing the electric you hear. If I remember correctly it was just the 5 of them in the studio during that time. If I'm wrong then somebody feel free to jump in and politely tell me so.
