definately not rich, just determined. phish stopped being great sometime in 1998, i thikn thats when trey started doing heroin, actually. they/he never fully bounced back from that one. so then i went to string cheese tour, but after about a year, kang(the mandolinist) turned into a fruit cup, and stopped playing his mandolin a nd fiddle and there music startedd to sound like it was a rave. you gotta make your own music and be in love with yourself though, you cant rely on fucked up rockstars with low self esteem for your happiness.
you sound like a hateful dude... i dont think phish changed his perspective, phish was merely the door to him changing, however, he had to step through it. the movie violent influence thing is a little more subliminal i think, people dont go hey i want to be a pyscho serial killer! its more of a sub concious thing i think... so im not seeing much of a relation there.
i think the best phish cd is eather lawnboy or billy breathes and i think there shows are what im gonna miss the most...i cant wait to get their new album...
I'm so glad to see them go... not because I think they suck (I never listen to them), but because I associate them with terrible things. The first thing my son's father said when I told him Noah's due date was, "Oh...Phish is playing in Cincinnatti that weekend.... It's not like Phish plays every day..." Like he has a son every day.... Fucking moron. I hope he cries over this and gets really sad. This means I don't have to throw rotten tomatoes at Trey when I go to Bonnaroo. Or maybe I do....
see, i expected this to happen soon. This was not the 'band's' decision - it was Trey's. He's cut from the same mold as an artist like Sting - he's a fabulous talent, but he's an ego maniac who has to do Trey's thing. Now that his success with Phish has enabled him to embark on a succesful solo career where its all Trey, all the time - he's going this route.
With the band split-up, Mike Gordon can now concentrate on his "artistic photography," - the fucking pervert. _____________________
i think everyone hates phish because they download 1 or 2 studio tracks and base their opinion off of that. i think that alot of their studio stuff isn't BAD, but it's not that that great. It sounds very up, very constructed and kinda kiddy-ish... i dont know if i'mtheonly one getting those vibes when i listen to studio phish.... now... LIVE phish is AMAZING! it's the only phish i ever ever ever suggest to people. live phish is absolutely beautiful. not one thing that has ever come out of their live stuff that i remotely disliked. Phish is definitely definitely one of the more amazing bands. they must stay together. i'm see ol' Trey at bonnaroo! that's going to be great. if anyone says they dont like phish, have them listen to anything live. they sell every single show on cd, and have dozens of concerts in the store ontop of that. i think phish is such a beloved and wellknown band solely because of their live albums, but i dunno, i'msure there are people who absolutely LOVE studio phish.
ive never heard any or there live cds...is there cheering in the background...cuz i hate when that happens
my husband was selling bracelets all over the usa at concerts, they'd sneak and sell them. he couldn't sell any at the phish concert because everyone was broke, though he did get many offers of sex for bracelets.
OHHHH MAN!!!!!!!!!!!! if you love phish, i promise promise promise you you're going to be blown out of this world. there's not too too much cheering and such, maybe when a peek settles down and such, a little cheer. they are such an amazing jam band. their songs are 20...30... 40 minutes each. you'll find yourself listening to moments of completely broken down music, very veyr suttle, very chillin, and it'll slowly build up, build up, build up, and halfway into the song you're knee deep in the most beautiful, amazing, adept music ever. it reminds me alot of live Dead. the music just takes you places. i really think phish is Live phish, truly. but definitely, not too much cheering and all that. half the time you can't tell it's live. i take it they have some pride in their recording, knowing fans just eat it up. they're always well put together. if you go on phish's website, they sell every show, recorded on a cd. i promise you, if you buy a show, or even buy a major show's recorded tracks at the cd store (live of course), you're going to be in LOVE. i mean..... LOVE. studio phish is NOTHING compared to live phish man. you're going to dig it. peace.
I will probly take shit for this one but I was never a big fan! They were booed off stage when they came to Raleigh NC cuz they couldnt get their shit together on stage to play the show............. I think their live albums sound better than their studio shit but still I am not really into em..................
