I hate bands like this one that court the banjo. Mother fucker just sucks. I could play like that on LSD with my head submerged in a toilet.

anyone care to tell me who/what this is??

1/16/2013 11:36:00 PM

banjoman claims to play the banjo

1/16/2013 11:48:34 PM

i have a banjo. i'm more of a banjo owner than a banjo player, but i try... I still dont know what this thread means, though.

1/16/2013 11:55:05 PM

its a reference to a song fragment by Bob Dylan that the band Old Crow Medicine Show has worked into a complete song

a couple bars in the area use it as a last call song

1/17/2013 3:45:48 AM

Is this that new Darius Rucker song?

Hootie killin' em softly!

Doc Watson heard them playing on the street in Boone and liked them so much he booked them for Merlefest.

We play it after football games. Maybe only when we win.. I dunno

1/17/2013 7:40:56 AM

Are you guys trolling or have none of you living in NC ever heard Wagon Wheel?

1/17/2013 8:54:19 AM

Darius Rucker's new single is actually him covering "Wagon Wheel", it's already on the radio and it'll be on his next CD.

And yes, everyone from NC has heard Old Crow Medicine Band's version of "Wagon Wheel".

back in my day we used "I just called to say I love you"

the hootie version is not nearly as good... I love the banjo-work in the OCMS version.

1/17/2013 10:26:33 AM

As if this song wasn't already insufferable, here comes Hootie to SC the whole thing up.

1/17/2013 6:55:11 PM

the frat anthem

1/17/2013 7:04:06 PM

its a shame that the song has those associations now
I remember really enjoying it back in '05 and '06

1/17/2013 7:09:19 PM

I really appreciate that man. Thanks.

Cool story bro.

1/17/2013 8:10:30 PM

By most accounts, Doc Watson was a man with tremendous talent.

By most accounts, Paul McCartney is a man with tremendous talent.

Paul McCartney wrote "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime."

Doc Watson booked OCMS for Merlefest.

^^ Maybe because he liked how they sang and played many old traditional songs. Maybe he liked the vocals, which gives them a sort of oldtimey feel.

But none of them are good at their instruments. And a bunch of their hit songs are old traditional songs. And people act like they are the best bluegrass band around.

1/17/2013 10:03:01 PM

play us a ditty

Big deal, neither was Cobain.

Dude, the main lick in Smells like teen spirit is renowned. It makes the song. Obviously you're not a golfer.

1/17/2013 11:56:20 PM

You're out of your element.

RALEIGH

1/18/2013 8:32:03 AM

I agree with Snewf. I thoroughly enjoyed them back in highschool and freshman/soph years in college, but after that I started hearing this song EVERYWHERE. EVERY BAR, EVERY FRAT PARTY, and I couldnt go to Rum Runners without some drunk slut asking for this song to be played 2 or 3 times a night.

I've called a few folks out when I hear them say "I LOVE this band". No the fuck you dont. You might love this song, but they can't name a single other song OCMS does.

I still listen to the rest of their songs, but rawleigh bars/sluts/frat parties have ruint this song fer me.

+1

almost worth it's own thread for musicians of tremendous talent that do really dumb things.

1/18/2013 9:58:36 AM

I hate this fucking song.

1/18/2013 10:06:30 AM

wait, people hate hootie?

1/18/2013 11:23:39 AM

^^^^ I love the song and enjoy the band, probably my 2nd favorite of their songs after "tell it to me", and I'm not shallow enough to let popularity make me dislike a song I enjoy.

1/18/2013 2:08:55 PM

if I ain't dyin' in Raleigh I don't know who is

1/18/2013 2:22:09 PM

depending on the dogscircumstance

1/18/2013 2:23:24 PM

It is a good song. My main problem with this band is that they only have a banjo to have a banjo.

1/18/2013 3:15:08 PM

I dont think i'm being "shallow" at all.

It's just like any song on the radio. Once radio stations start playing the same song EVERY 30 minutes, or the song is on everytime you get in your car, you tend to get tired of it.

I'm not saying I dislike the song. It was (and is) one of my favorites. I'm just a little "over" it.

OCMS is not bluegrass. Neo-old timey maybe? I don't know. But they ain't bluegrass.

1/18/2013 4:53:59 PM

these boys is not white! hell, they ain't even old timey!

1/18/2013 4:55:00 PM

^ I agree ... You're only bluegrass if you play, "ROOOLLLLIN' in my sweet baby's arms" ...

1/18/2013 4:58:31 PM

Anybody here ever heard of Kerosene Brothers? They're the alter ego of Hayseed Dixie. They just had one album, but its some pretty decent rehashes of some classics.

1/18/2013 5:00:34 PM

^^ Are you guys referring to the Whiskey Shivers version? Because I know those guys personally.

1/18/2013 5:17:38 PM

no
