Grateful Dead Music Forum

Am I the only person on this site who dislikes phish? just asking.

Nope, a lot of people here dont. I like em, search Trey Vs Jerry or somethin. But ya a lot of people dont here.

I like 'em when theyre just jamming. its when they start playing vaccum cleaners and jumping on trampolines, man thats sideshow crap. I could never take them seriously after knowing that lol

I am not a Phish fan either.

I like Dead, Phish but not moe Umphry's or the rest of the new breed

I like phish, but for god sakes the phish hating/loving discussion has been thoroughly beaten to death on this site.

I don't like much phish but they have some good songs

I do appreciate all the bands but they don't put a boogie in me.

I'd say out of the whole list Gov't Mule would be the only band I'd go see live.

I dont mind some phish but jeez, I can stand Trey I dont know what it is, maybe his personality that comes of in interviews and his solo stuff. I just cant dig hime by himself and even some of the phish stuff also.

I love all the other new breed bands, not so much Govment mule, I love warren in the allman brothers band but, sorry just cant dig hime in Mule.

but getting back to subject, yes I like some phish but no I dont like Trey.

I do find this question quite irrelevant, I must say, but that's just my opinion, and I respect yours. You seem pretty adamant about the fact that you don't like them, but if I may: what is it specifically that you don't like. Do you have legitimate reasons or things you don't like about their music/scene/etc.? Just wondering.

I don't get the link between Phish the Grateful Dead, apart from both liking to play long songs(I'm keeping it very basic) and the fan following that happened in the mid 90's.

Musically they are nothing alike, I don't see any connection there at all.

Do I like Phish? I wouldn't dare call myself a fan, the music does nothing for me overall.

I never understood this Phish-Grateful Dead connection either.
