Not sure if this would be part of the thinking but Lillywhite was at the front of the pit and the first show he had attended in forever

    You are not Ants, you are a bunch of termites with no spines choking on wood all day long.

    And you know what I mean.

    Boyd gives life to DMB's music and yinz do your best to suck the life right out of DMB.

    "It's like going to see THE Dave Matthews Band without Boyd Tinsley on the violin."

    Yinz are haters. Just haters. I hope to God (if there is a God) that no one hates on you during the course of your life as you deserve for your disgusting hatred. You've got no guts. Period

    So you're saying that my post is powerful enough (it's a simple post really, I know that, you know that) to prove that there is no God

    Week after week people on Ants are going to shows and getting blown away, many saying it's the best they've seen them play in years, if that is sucking the life out of it that's too bad

    Boyds not coming back, i think people need to understand this.

    You can tell with the clips already shared, theres more videos/ photos on youtube behind the scenes of boyd being nowhere to be found. Think theres a fan video on youtube of someone asking Dave where boyd is and his response seems annoyed along the lines of "we dont see boyd until the show"

    I mean put yourself in the band members shoes. Everyone is having some camaradarie preshow hanging out, and then you have Boyd who is completely disengaged- and when the actual show does come, hes missing cues/ solos/ integral parts of songs on top of not hanging out with anyone. It seems he probably was going through the motions

    All this stuff probably built up for years, and then the #metoo accusations was just the nail in the coffin at that point.

    Boyd was seemingly more of a burden/ liability the last 10 years he was in the band, and now that hes gone its probably very refreshing and a burden lifted for the rest of the band.

He could barely hold a conversation with her. She was really sad after the encounter. I will always be a fan of Boyd, despite his struggles, and wish him the best. 🥲

    I remember hearing about that show. It was at a tiny dive bar. A beloved dive bar with regular live music, but still a tiny dive bar. It was absolutely bizarre thinking that he went from sheds and arenas to a room that maybe holds 75 people.

    personally, boyd being fired + keys coming back got me interested in the band again - at least their live show, if not anything they've released after 2002. He was never interesting musically to me, always the weakest part of the band, but when he was on he was at least a dynamic performer. when he was off, though, it was embarrassing. They were actively muting him during his last few tours, even during solos, which is a pretty extreme step to take.

    Interesting... you're disgusted by some reactions to Boyd's choices and realities about his presence and preformance, but you have zero to say about Boyd's actual choices, actions, and performance.

    You reveal yourself to be wildly biased and wildly unrealistic if you call people who are literally commenting on what's evident in video, lawsuits, and personal experiences as "hating". Most here are concerned and wish him well.

    Those saying he was a liability or that they like the band better without him are not hating, they're speaking their truths and that's how the world works.

    If there is a God, hopefully She judges based on our ACTIONS. Not on what who we said we were or who we tried to show people we were, but who we ACTUALLY were. In that case, pretty sure most of us are ready to face judgement. Only those who think who they wish they were or who they promise others they are (or who do horrible actual things) need to worry about that judgement.

    14 years ago, I thought Tim Reynolds was one of Rock and Roll's greatest guitarists in history. Now that I've dug into rock history, I've come to realize how laughable that notion was. There's guitarist burnouts working at guitar stores who can do every thing Tim can do, if not aesthetically better. I thought Boyd was a very good violinist 17 years ago, I've come to the conclusion now he makes a mockery of the instrument.

    Re: what happened to Boyd? he's been MIA for a while

    I had an encounter with Boyd in 2015 in Cincinnati. The band was staying at my hotel, and I ran into Carter during the day at around 3 as he was headed to the venue.

    Before I was headed to the show, I got in the elevator and Boyd was in it. I was surprised how close to show time he was leaving, given that Carter had left so much earlier. He gave me a "what's up" and seemed pretty normal to me, but I remember it being strange to think he'd be so far behind the other band members.

    I have no concept of when band members usually head to shows, so maybe it's not a big deal at all, but wanted to share anyway.

    These days the band heads to the venue around 2:30 and spends at least an hour in the rehearsal room.

    I may be mis-reading some of the stuff I read in the past but I think there is some small amount of animosity that Sean has for DMB. I think he has tried to appeal to open for them in recent years without success - and he or someone in the band has reminded us all that DMB used to open for the Samples - sort of as if the Samples helped to make the start of DMBs career

    this has nothing to do with asking where boyd is and Dave responding he has no idea, which seems to be a reoccurring theme surrounding Boyd. Also appears that video was back in 2010- imagine how long that stuff went on.

    Boyds not coming back, he was a dark cloud on the band and now theyre in a much better place without him and Buddy as a replacement

    I understand that. I was just adding an aside - mostly to the poster'c comment, "It's an odd video, especially knowing the history with The Samples and DMB"

    And hearing Sean in the video ask Dave "remember when we used to snowboard" to which dave responded, "yeah we used to do a lot of things together"

    nothing more nothing less. My bad for taking a step away from the boyd dave talk

    I'm shocked nobody has posted this video:

    Boyd isn't out of it. It's just a strange video.

    I agree Boyd may have made some mistakes. We all do. But I can forgive his faults as a human being because I am only human also. I hope others may forgive me for the wrongs that I have caused them. No doubt, Boyd was a huge reason why so many people loved this band. Sometimes they went to concerts just to see him To call me wildly biased and wildly unrealistic is not a very nice thing for you to say directly to me. It's ok, I can take it. Where I come from, we go out of our way to be kind to others. And often times we are not kind, though. But we try. I guess I feel a lack of respect and decency on these boards mostly for band members who are giving it their all. you Da Man Boyd

    So I have a sincere question for you, and I ask it in same respectful manner your reply to me just now is in:

    Do you not see the hypocrisy in you calling everyone else haters and assuming that everyone talking about Boyd's behaviors and the consequences is "hating" even though many speak out of concern... and you now saying calling you wildly biased and wildly unrealistic is not nice to say directly to you, after you specifically called everyone in this conversation haters and that we'd be judged horribly for it?

    In the end, what you just said is really what maybe you should have led with: you understand Boyd's behaviors may have been an issue, and you forgive him for that and think he worked super hard for DMB and you want to see that honored and recognized. No one can argue with you for that opnion.

    It's when you call everyone haters when most people literally were just talking about what had happened to him, the many reasons (and if you're realistic you understand there were MANY!) he is no longer in the band.

    That's how life goes. It's ok to forgive people or for people to regret their actions, but if you tried for years to address it and someone just got worse and worse and more and more extreme, it is the bad actor's responsibility NOT those who have to cut them off, that things get to that point.

    So you can forgive Boyd all you want, but to call everyone badly-intentioned (haters) just for talking about what actually happened as a result of Boyd's bad performances, behavior and choices IS wildly biased and wildly unrealistic, given the years and years of problematic behavior on his part.

    I first saw DMB in '94 and '94-'00 will always be a magical musical time for me because of how DMB was live and recorded then. I loved Boyd's energy and presence, and my interactions with him were largely positive. I did notice some things that weren't about me that bothered me... and that was in like '99 and on, so that was a loooong time ago there were concerns.

    It is possible to love and respect Boyd's contributions as a key founding member of DMB, have the early days as one's favorite era of DMB, and find him to have been a kind person to me, AND to also recognize he made some very bad choices and his performance declined in the extremes and to see the band as wholly justified in kicking him out and fans totally justified in discussing it.

    <div style="font-style:italic">I may be mis-reading some of the stuff I read in the past but I think there is some small amount of animosity that Sean has for DMB. I think he has tried to appeal to open for them in recent years without success - and he or someone in the band has reminded us all that DMB used to open for the Samples - sort of as if the Samples helped to make the start of DMBs career</div>
    </div>this has nothing to do with asking where boyd is and Dave responding he has no idea, which seems to be a reoccurring theme surrounding Boyd. Also appears that video was back in 2010- imagine how long that stuff went on. <br>
    <br>
    Boyds not coming back, he was a dark cloud on the band and now theyre in a much better place without him and Buddy as a replacement
    Buddy is garbage.

    Whatever the deal may be with him, out of all the current band members, he is the most compelling figure by a country mile.

    This is kind of like when I'm super pissed about a problem or someone's comment and so I call it "interesting". Compelling is the adult equivalent of - train wreck I can't look away from.

    one thing I think boyd cultivated within the fanbase is the whole, free hugs and love (love is love) at all costs, mindset. their descendants are on FB and ban you if you have any critique. i'm trying to say this with, as dave said, a lot of kindness in my heart. but it is odd to me.

    I always thought Dave's quirkiness and personality made him the most interesting person in DMB, to me.

    Yeah, but Boyd is up to "shenanigans."
