Talk:Dan Miller

He's definitely a better guitar player than Flansburgh, and arguably a better keyboardist than Linnell. -Fan Of Dan

Plus he's taller.

So? No matter how good a guitarist or cool guy he is, he's still just a ringer. (I think I even remember Them calling his that on a radio show) He does not have the songwriting talent and energy that makes Them Them.

I've always wondered what it's like to be a not-John in TMBG. Must get frustrating sometimes. At the shows I've seen/heard/been to, though, the Johns really make an effort to display the talents of the other band members. And they are talented, too. For the second encore at the show I went to, Dan Miller came out alone with an acoustic guitar and I could've sworn it was Tommy Emmanuel on stage. Weinkauf's a beast, as well. 68.114.69.217 03:32, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sucker

Had anyone else noticed that the first song on Dan Miller's old band Lincoln's album is called "Sucker"? This happens to correspond with the fact that:

I noticed that; in fact I was the one who pointed it out to you. However, Lincoln was Chris Temple's band, not Dan's. -TDK 06:33, 1 Apr 2006 (CST)

(I wasn't using the possessive to mean that Dan OWNED the band, just that he had been a member. Also, we did talk about the "Sucker" thing, but I had already noticed it in my exploration of the Dan Miller page here and the link to Lincoln's [www.mp3.com] page. Don't worry, I always give credit where credit's due! ~Drew)

• Two Free Tunes MP3s--E Eats Everything (Live At Amoeba Records) and Flying V (Live At Amoeba Records)--had Dan Miller listed as the artist and "Sucker" listed as the song title in their MP3 information (but not the file name).

• One of the free sample MP3s found on the shows page at theymightbegiants.com, which Dan Miller happens to run--a complete MP3 of Asbury Park (The Stone Pony) from the 5/13/05 show at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ, which you can download here--is also called "Sucker" in its MP3 info.

Coincidence? I think not.

And, as an added bonus for anyone who happens to be reading this, there are three other complete or almost complete MP3s on the theymightbegiants.com shows page:

• Most of Wearing A Raincoat and part of Clap Your Hands from the 8/20/04 show at City Limits in Tucson, AZ, which you can download here.

• A complete MP3 of an unreleased venue song! Avalon, from the 9/18/04 show at the Avalon in Boston, MA, which you can download [here]!

• Another live version of Asbury Park (The Stone Pony), this one from the 7/9/05 show at the Fox Theatre in Boulder, CO, which you can download [here]. (I'm not sure why the file is called "boulder7-10-sample.mp3," since it's from the 7/9/05 show; the MP3 from the next day's show at the same venue, a clip of In The Middle, In The Middle, In The Middle, is similarly named: "boulder7-11-sample.mp3".)

Enjoy! ~Drew

[edit] Solder

Listed in the credits in The Else's liner notes as DAN SOLDER MILLER. Seems to be an official credit now. I wonder why though. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 06:58, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

The band members have an infinite supply of middle names. -j2

According to this his real middle name is Adam. Do we want to mention it somewhere on the page? Just add it to the bolded part? — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 05:24, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

And according to this his production company is "DJ Solder Productions". So there you go. — User:ACupOfCoffee@ 05:27, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
