Yep, it's the new (and official) DMB album title. From what I've heard and seen is that it is causing a stir with people on DMB message boards.
I know now that Groogrux (or just Grux) was a nickname for LeRoi. And Dave posted this on his twitter: . . . still here dancing with the Groo Grux King. We'll be drinking big whiskey while we dance and sing. When I get to the end, I'm gonna end . . .
I am guessing that is a lyric in a song (maybe the song title is Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King). Also, maybe LeRoi liked whiskey.
Well, many seem to not like it. I was caught off guard by it, but I like it. It's really different, and kind of kewl. |

He also plays a redneck in Don't Mess with the Zohan... I thought he was the funniest thing about that movie. |

I think he likes playing that role. :) I know the producers and Hugh Laurie were very impressed with Dave and his abilities. Some of you may know that Hugh has a celeb based band that plays for fun and apparently, Dave took some time out to jam with them. At least, that's what I read.

This might have been mentioned; however, Dave was also on an episode of House.
As for Big Whiskey & The Groogrux King:

I saw it. Guess what, it wasn't bad. Now, it was a kids movie but wasn't corny. Like one reviewer said, the adults don't act like morons. It is an adaptation from a best selling children's book. Also, that was his second movie . . . if you don't count the little things he did in C'ville before the band started.
His first was in a version of Where the Red Fern Grows. He plays the father in it. I have not seen it, but it is said that it's good, and Dave does a great job. It was a small independent film that lost it's funds but was saved by someone or some company. It came out about a year or two late. Then he was just in one called Lake Town. He plays the bad guy in the film. I hear the story for it wasn't that great. He is also in 2 films being made. Not sure on their plots, and what Dave's character is. It was said many times in C'ville that he was a great actor, and when he would do stage shows, he stole the stage every time he came on. Also, the director of the music video of So Much To Say said that if Dave ever decided to become an actor he'd be great.
He did have a cameo in both Chuck and Larry and Zolan. He says he likes Adam Sandler. I like only some of the stuff he does, but hey each to their own. |

BWGGK debuts at #1 on Billboard
I detect a bit of sarcasm in the writers text LOL
Dave Matthews Band Top Billboard 200
June 10, 2009 1:15 p.m. by Andrew Winistorfer
If there's anything that my advertising classes taught me (they didn't teach me anything), it's to never underestimate the buying power of Dave Matthews Band fans. They're to thank for the success of hacky sacks, weed in the Midwest and the robust DVD sales of the Dave Matthews-Dakota Fanning picture, Because of Winn Dixie. Now Dave Matthews fans are responsible for getting their molasses tongued prophet to the top of the Billboard 200, as the band's 14,000 album (that's an estimate), Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King, has moved 424,000 units in its first week out.
Dave Matthews Band knock off former chart topper Eminem, whose Relapse topped the last two weeks, and now sits at number two with 141,000 copies sold. Big Whiskey is the fifth straight DMB album to sell more than 400,000 copies in its first week out, proving that there are either 400,000 Dave Matthews Band fans who like them so much that they'll buy every CD, or one Dave Matthews Band fan who buys 400,000 copies of each of their albums.

i'd rather listen to everyday or busted stuff. |

I think that after coming so close to breaking up a couple years ago (seriously, Dave wrote a letter to them saying he was done), rebuilding themselves, then realizing how what they had was so special when they lost LeRoi made them appreciate this more. Tim and Carter seemed to have been the people in/around the group that know LeRoi the longest, so I think it hit them the most, which makes them much more appreciative about what makes this so special.
I got my package a day late (damn you musictoday), but after even the first listen, I LOVED it. Also, a song I am really liking is a song most of the DMB community seems to dislike or even hate: Seven! It really just ROCKS! Tim is the only one playing guitar on the track too! It's just soooo rocking and grooving! Then Shake Me Like A Monkey took me a bit to accept the lyrics, but now that's great. Lying In the Hands of God is just so beautiful. Squirm is a trip back to songs like Minarets, Don't Drink the Water, and the Last Stop. Time Bomb is damn good. Alligator Pie took a bit to let the time signatures to be expected and fit, as well as the "daddy won't you put me in a song" part about Stella, but now it's great (and I like that electric resonator guitar he uses). My favorite song still is Why I Am. I do like the others, but those are the ones that are my favorites. However, I do prefer Sister to Baby Blue.
I also got my hands on the studio version of Corn Bread (which is on the UK release). It takes it a bit more mellow and a tiny bit slower like how D&T did it when it debuted. I like it more. The banjo on it is perfect. I have yet to listen to the bonus CD, but I am sure I will love it.
I got the Live Trax bonus, and even though I already had the show from a bootleg (it was my show I went to, Alpine '08 night 1), it sounds so much better! And Halloween!
I rank the albums like this now
8-Stand Up
7-Everyday
6-Busted Stuff
5-R2T
4-Lillywhite Sessions
3-Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King
(tied with)
3-Crash
2-Under the Table and Dreaming
1-Before These Crowded Streets |

Hey Nick, thought you would like to know I caught part of the live webcast from last nights show in NYC and it made me smile. Seeing Tim so happy and playing like the guitar god he is, was really nice. I also got a kick out of all the young people in the crowd, happy and dancing to the music. I am still not a fan of their music, just can't get into it, but even so, it did make me smile to see everyone so happy. The band looked like they were having a blast, happier than I remember seeing them in a long time. I don't know their trumpet player, but wow, he is like the Incredible Hulk on stage, talk about stage presence! Jeff was great on sax, I miss Roi, but life goes on.
It was great to see happy people for a change, since there is so much sadness and tension at work as people lose their jobs. Didn't watch the whole show, but what I saw was nice and it refreshed me. |

LOL Nick, you didn't say ANYTHING negative! I come & go here all the time, like most everyone here. I actually came back today to check out the availability of a CD for a friend and hit message board instead of music. So, I looked to see what comments were made on all the threads since I was last here and found this. I'm just tired of all the DMB stuff and look forward to reading TR3 reviews again. BTW, I do respect all the members of DMB as musicians, I just don't care for their music anymore. No big deal.

I tried to be objective about it but I still find the lyrics and the music to be mediocre at best!
Glad you all like it, glad TR is having fun playing with his friends and making some big bucks, but I will really be glad when this album is released and time passes and the REALLY great music of TR and TR3 is the topic of conversation here once again!
Well, I really like the single (which is Funny the Way It Is). It definitely is the best single they have put out since the Space Between (always been fond of that song). About hearing it over and over again on the radio, I guess I am lucky not to have that problem. As I have said many times, the radio station here in Madison (105.5) makes it a point to never overplay a song. I also think the lyrics are obvious but they work. Yes, it is no Dreaming Tree or Warehouse, but it is light years better than some like Dream Girl.
As far as DMB not being the topic of conversation here. I don't think that will ever happen. Being that they are so closely tied with TR as well as there are people like me on these boards that love DMB. I know you are not fond of them, but I am big time. I also have no other place to talk about DMB, so this is my last refuge to talk about them.
As far as new topics on TR, I guess we just don't have too much news other than the TR3 touring with DMB, so there are going to be few posts on his subject.
You have the right to not like DMB, the new single, or the album (if you have heard the illegal copies or the streaming of the album on pandora). But keep in mind that I do and this is the only place I can talk about it. |

FYI, Nick, you're not going to find a better quality version of I Won't Give It Away, as it was only played once, and in England, so the one source of it is all that was recorded.
I love this new album, BTW. So nice to hear a GOOD album from DMB for the first time in eleven years. Shake Me Like a Monkey is so badass. Tim is all OVER this album, which is fantastic. |

I actually stumbled upon one from the last tour, and it's very good quality. You can actually understand, or at least hear, Dave's singing loud and clear.
The only one I have a problem with is I Won't Give It Away. The version I have is very bad, loud, and such. If I can't find a good one, I will be substituting it for Can't Stop. I got a great early blue water with Peter Griesar, and Boyd really does an amazing solo! One of Boyd's best ever, I think.
I also have a title for it. The studio album is called Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King, and a line from Kill the King is, "all the king's horses, and all the king's men," taken from the Humpty Dumpty nursery rhyme. So, I am going to use: All the Groogrux King's Men. |

Posted - 05/05/2009 : 1:52:18 PM
I would hesitate to call it good. The version I have is from one of the last DMB concerts I went to. Sacramento 9.6.2006. It's about eleven minutes long. The quality is kind of crappy though. I forget any info about source or taper. I just downloaded it because I went to the concert. But from what I remember hearing that year the later tour versions of Shotgun were much better than the first half of the summer. When they started adding the instrumental buildups I think it got a lot better. |

Well, since the extra tracks weren't what many were expecting (including me), I have decided to make a compilation of my own. I am going to pull together live released tracks and bootlegged recordings of recent songs that deserve studio treatment. I am also going to edit them seamlessly together.
My Tracklist:
1 - The Idea of You
2 - Break free
3 - I Won't Give It Away
4 - Shotgun
5 - Sugar Will
6 - Kill the King
7 - Falling Off the Roof =>
8 - Sister
9 - Crazy/Easy
10- Cornbread
11- Blue Water Baboon Farm (earliest recording available).
(hidden outro track)

Realize as well that it was the first single, and it is hard to get a really good original song on the radio today. What I Am and Spaceman are much better than Funny the Way It Is. However, I still enjoy Funny the Way It Is. |

Well, I do have to give credit to Ant's reasoning about that the band changes it's mind sometimes at the last minute. This includes tour stops as well as concert setlists.
Also, this happened with Stand Up. The first release of Stand Up was in Australia. On that, Hello Again was not on it. In place of Hello Again was Trouble With You. Then when it was being released elsewhere, they switched it at the last minute, putting Trouble With You on the bonus disc.
However, as much as I love #27, I am very sad to see that Sugar Will, Sister, and Cornbread are not on it. Unless they changed the song titles, but that is unlikely. Obviously Cornbread and Sister aren't there, since they are playing them live and they are still called Sister and Cornbread. So Idea of You could, Falling Off the Roof, I Won't Give It Away, or Break For It/Run While We Can may be those tracks with different titles and lyrics. Who knows, maybe Can't Stop or Break Free are there too with different names and lyrics.
Anyways, if this is the true tracklist, I am disappointed. However this is Amazon and not DMBand.com. Plus, there are 14 lithographs, but only 13 tracks on the album (rumor of a hidden track, which then could be Shotgun or such). But, then again this is Amazon talking aobut lithographs and not DMBand.com, so there could just be 13, or maybe 17 including the bonus tracks, or 18 with a hidden track. Also, Amazon says there are 4 bonus tracks, yet DMBand.com doesn't give a number. Maybe if you order it from DMBand.com you get more tracks, or maybe from the Warehouse. So, who knows. Maybe they will release the tracklists on the Warehouse 5/8 CDs.
So, until DMBand.com says something, I will not consider this as concrete evidence. |
| GuitarGuy305 |
Posted - 04/26/2009 : 12:02:27 PM
So Ants may have been way off with saying Shotgun was one of the extra tracks. This is the list they have posted now which I believe came from Amazon:
* #27
* Beach Ball
* Little Red Bird
* Write A Song
So to sum it up, Ants has no fucking idea what is going on. |

Sister is most likely on it since it is heard in the video, and it's still being played live (no longer solo by Dave, btw). Another I suspect is almost a shoe in is Cornbread. I absolutely want to hear Sugar Will. I would also love to hear a non-Baston produced Hello Again and Joyride (since they just sounded so dead on Stand Up and the Stand Up bonus disc).
I am also getting the delux version with the t-shirt.
Wait wait, Sister is not in the video. That riff that sounds like Sister is not even in the same key. Plus, Dave is still playing it the same old way live. Have you heard it this year? It's still him and Tim alone, with Rashawn and Carter doing backing vocals on one part, just like last year. |

Ants confirmed Shotgun, but they have been known to be vague, and be wrong about things. iTunes is letting you order a pass or something, and you can d/l the album + the extra tracks + the DVD + even more shit I guess  And it's only 20 bucks. The Warehouse just sent out an email talking about it:

Here is also a link to an article on Weekly Dave Speak about some of the guitars used on the album or at least present in the studio. It starts off talking about Tim playing sitar on the album, but I believe Tim told someone at FPR that the sitar didn't make the final album.

Not the best pic but this came up as "Dave's new gift from Rob Cavallo" when I Google searched "Dave Matthews Strat" |

Anyways, kewl. Do you know who built it or anything else about it?
Ha, no clue actually. I'm sure it's somewhere on Ants, though. If I come across it, I'll definitely let you know I think Dave or Stefan put up a close up pic of it on Twittertwatter, also. |

I really like the electric dostortion that Dave is doing on Why I Am. It really drives the song, and Tim's electric then just add the light touch that just takes it to another level. Yes, I know the term "another level" might seem cliche', but it does take it. |

Well I heard "Funny How It Is" from their album on the radio this morning as I was getting ready for work. As expected, I was not impressed at all. Just didn't like it.

You can download the track "Funny How It Is" from the DMB website.
(Excuse me if this has already been discussed, I haven't been following this thread very closely.)
It's a GREAT song and I think Tim is higher in the mix than anything (including vocals and drums).
Good stuff! |

Humm so its the white strotocaster, the flying V and the gibson goldtop. But I still prefer de orange strat and the black les paul! |

I can't believe they are giving away copies of the next LT. Crazy. I'll definitely be pre-ordering. I wonder if that means no bonus disc? |
| Ranting Thespian |
Posted - 04/14/2009 : 7:36:26 PM
I listened to it, and LOVED it. I also loved what Tim added. The layers do remind me of Crash. The song is better than any that was on Stand Up (with a slight exception of what Hello Again was in 2004).
I am very excited for the album. Also if you order from dmband.com, you can get a free copy of the next Live Trax, which is from Alpine Valley last year . . . the show I went to! it has an AMAZING Halloween! |

Posted - 04/14/2009 : 6:11:02 PM
Listening now. Pretty good. Not sure about the vocal...the harmony or something is sort of throwing me off.
Glad to hear Tim up in the mix though! |

Shotgun might be released on the bonus CD/EP that is said to be planned. But yeah I am looking forward to the new stuff. |
| GuitarGuy305 |
Posted - 04/12/2009 : 11:39:47 AM
I'm looking forward to what this album will sound like. I'm also glad that it's all new music and they didn't put any of the live stuff like Shotgun on there. I don't know why the DMB fans want studio versions of all these songs anyway. I mean, go back and listen to Don't Drink The Water from Before These Crowded Streets. It is completely devoid of energy and played at a slower tempo. Give me the Central Park version any day. Better yet, give me any 2008 tour version with Tim! |

I love playing Mind Games. It's a great song. The whole album, also called Mind Games, is great. Well, I am not HUGE about One Day At A Time. I prefer the Anthology version of One Day At A Time.
"We're playing those mind games together,
Pushing the barriers, planting seeds,
Playing the mind guerilla,
Chanting the mantra, peace on earth,
We all been playing those mind games forever,
Some kinda druid dudes lifting the veil,
Doing the mind guerilla,
Some call it magic, the search for the grail . . ."

I miss Roi too Andre. I can't wait for you all to be able to hear the new SOKO CD. I am listening to tracks from it now and Roi's sax is so beautiful. There is a song called And Yet Your Smile that takes my breath away, makes me smile and cry all at the same time. Vintage Roi, from 1988. Perfect.
**If anyone was wondering, yes, I deleted a post of mine. Something I said made me feel I needed an attitude adjustment. Once I deleted I thought I should have just edited, but thought of that too late. Nothing anyone else said, all my own doing. Just didn't want anyone to think I am playing mind games. |

It's seems very unusual to have a band these days that care about each other that much.
When Boyd talks about LeRoi, it chokes me up. |
| Andre_Brazil |
Posted - 04/10/2009 : 7:47:08 PM
I miss Roi.. very much.. he was a great friend of DMB's webmaster site here in Brazil . I got really mad when I saw coments about how great DMB will become with his death and the adding of Jeff Coffin. Crazy shit... can't believe. But he's gone, and I think this album will be a mark. Don't know if it will be great ( I hope so)... but it will mean a lot to me and others. The video was great... when Boyd talks about Roi... oh man! |
| Ranting Thespian |
Posted - 04/10/2009 : 6:26:56 PM

Update!
Billboard has an interview with Dave and an exclusive video with the band: http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/feature/q-a-dave-matthews-1003961185.story
You can hear part of the single (coming any day now) Funny the Way It Is. You can also hear part of Sister which is another nod that there might be an EP/Bonus Disc that will have already heard tunes.
When the guys are talking about LeRoi, they really start to clam up. Dave also sounds EXTREMELY confident about this album. A whole lot more than he sounded for Everyday and Stand Up. |

Those douchebags really made me embarrassed to be a DMB fan. If I were lucky enough to be let into the studio to not only meet them but listen to their new shit, I would NOT be jumping up and down like a fucking retard. That stuff sounded pretty good though. Glad to hear what I'm assuming is Tim on electric pretty loud in the mix. I'm sure Ants will blow up with "Is there too much Tim on the new album" threads but who gives a shit. |
| Arthen |
Posted - 04/04/2009 : 12:57:34 PM
So has anyone else watched the video of the fans stopping by the studio to listen to the new album? Let's round up fifteen really drunk people and see how they like it? The music was actually pretty intriguing, particularly the instrumental opening. But when the fans start "rocking" out, it turned into one of the most pathetic things I have seen. |
