The "Steal your face" symbol is all about demonic possession. A demon literally enters a persons body and steals that persons face and body. I believe the lightening has many evil meanings, but it could be tied to the electric shock torture used by the Illuminati, to disassociate, control, brainwash and infuse demons into a persons body. The symbol and the name for it are so obviously evil, that's it's hard to believe that people can't see it for what it is.

I don't think sooo. I always thought it was a badass name but didn't really match the kind of music they made. Then I got into phycedellics and revisitied them. Pretty sure it means Dead as in ego death at least thats how I interpret it.

That's complete bullshit. The Steal Your Face symbol came out of necessity. "With all of the bands using more or less identical road cases, Bear had concluded that a simple, easily identified logo would be useful. He had envisioned a simple symbol that was a bolt of lightning in a red and blue circle with a white border, but his artist friend Bob Thomas delivered a more refined rendering in which a skull, the forehead cleaved by a lightning bolt would fill a circle. The bolt had thirteen points, as in the number of stripes in the US flag, and it's colors were red, white, and blue. They may have been stoned, but they were still patriots. Variously called the Laughing Jap - the Dead were not ordinarily racist, but the skull's eyes are vaguely Asiatic, and it's expression mirthful - the Cosmic Charlie, or the Steal Your Face (from the later album of that name, the cover of which it graces), it would become one of the most recognizable logos in the world." (McNally, 337) - Taken from A Long Strange Trip.

There are many stories about the name. The likeliest one is that they were flipping through a dictionary & Jerry opened it to a page, and the words "Grateful Dead" stuck out to him. The rest of the page melted away. (He was coming down off of a DMT trip at the time.) He said "How about the Grateful Dead man?", and thus the name was born.

they were grateful to be "ego-dead"? sounds awful. they didn't seem to sway from egoism, however... so maybe it was their dream?
i still think it's kinda fucked to wanna have your ego be "dead". why not have it be alive and well? 
i think hippies are confused people, sometimes.

Yea I think ego death (can ya say that?) is the theme, as it is the answer I am sure it had to do with the Dead look L brings about, really it is overly egotistical people passing judgement because it gives their ego existence, when ya look at them with that look there ego passes a judgement I think a lot of times it is a protective barrier from the weird feeling a liar gets in front of one who has become familiar with ego death.

Yup. A lot of people read way too much into things like the name the Grateful Dead & their symbols. They also attach their own ideals to the band, ideals that weren't necessarily held by the band members.

lol, like they knew they'd be the biggest band in the world for decades to come, and hid subliminal messages to condition the masses of fans to look for more things to quibble about...
or did they?

I think an ego was necessary to bring in others with egos and turn them on. When the ego is dead the dream is intact. It is not realistic to think "god" would have created us as beings that have thought projections about I all day going and going and having we suffer for this ego. No the false ego is a result of fear base belief is a result of desire and the illusion of the needs to tell lies. Lies make us suffer, we no longer communicate perfectly. Ego death brings about living now, eliminated the I. Most of the people with the I I I all the time are greedy and they'll think any I statement is there own thought. The interesting part is when these people take acid, then conversations about telepathy begin. Haaaa

Freemason Satanists? No. They just made really shitty music, which is possibly a worse crime against humanity.

Uhh yeah. Do I need to go into the various reasons why and how their music is both generic and mediocre? Because I don't really feel like it.
