WTF PHISH

So ive been listening to phish for like almost a year now and I have so many mixed emotions. Like this band has tormented me since I first got into them. Like in the first few weeks I started listening to them there seemed to be so many phish references in my daily life. Wilson streets were everywhere I looked, I met like 5 treys and Ive never really met anyone named trey, fucking possums dead in the road everywhere lol the list goes on and on and on I can't remember everything but cause this was a year ago but it was so ridiculous that I actually started becoming paranoid. I still kinda am phish freaks me out cause I feel like the band is one big joke. Don't get me wrong I love the band but like some of their song just fucking suck. Like simple for example. listen to those lyrics and tell me thats a work of art lol. Other songs like Divided sky and Run like an antelope are fucking amazing like the amount of raw skill that the band shows jamming is amazing. The weird jazzy section of divided sky is insane. Its a musical palindrome and it barely even follows a beat it just flows. How can one band be so inconsistent with their material. I'm sorry but if you tried to explain gamehenge to a non-phishhead they would say thats the most retarded thing Ive ever heard and I wouldn't blame them. If someone said that about the dead I would be fucking pissssed. I just don't get the band I guess and thats why it torments me. Like I always feel like if I keep listening I'll get it and I've blown through probably all of their songs at least once by now and am just confused still. I get the dead but Ive also been listening to them my whole life literally since the womb. Can someone enlighten me? What the fuck is going on with phish.

Phish is the type of band you either get or you don't. Sounds like you don't. Their music takes me some place that no one else can. There's a magic that happens at their shows that I don't experience anywhere else. There's really no other band like them.

I should revisit Phish again. Its been 15 years or more since I actually gave them a good listen. Maybe I will have a different impression of them now. They do a wicked cover of Gin And Juice tho hehe
Also Primus SUCKS!

You're overthinking it. Just go to a show, let it wash over you & dance.

How simple minded of you to say a band sucks just because you don't like them. I could understand if you said justin bieber or miley cyrus sucks but primus is a one of a kind band. Okay maybe les claypool isn't the best singer but still... they are talented musicians and you'll never reach the level of success that they have in anything you'll ever do. I can't believe how bigoted you are. Why don't you be a little more open minded okay? Primus DOES NOT SUCK!
hahaha just kidding.

Prius used to have a thing according to street legend about sucking. It was an opposite. Just the way it went.
I have seen les preform and yes he is unique and awesome.

If I see just about any music live, I usually enjoy it.
I really like music, like just about everything. I think if my life had taken a different direction when I was younger, I would have enjoyed doing something involved with music production.
My ex was really big into phish, she let me hear Story of a Ghost album and it was really good, and their live stuff is good, I just haven't heard a lot of it. I did hear a show once where they played the talking heads album Remain In Light, that was really really cool because the heads are great.
But I have been trying to listen to other genres besides the usual styles I enjoy.

I never listened to a whole lot of Phish, or even heard much of them until 2013. I saw a bunch of posts on the Shroomery about how incredible a Phish show was, so I was like, "ok, if they're really supposed to be that good then I guess i'm in", and a few months later me and my friend drove up to MA to see them when we had the chance. I had a feeling we were gonna have a great time, but little did I know I was heading to one of the most significant and life-changing events of my life. 10/25/13, ending with a 4-song encore with Good Times Bad Times by Zeppelin as the closer.
When we first got inside, I sat down in those seats at the top of the stadium with my friend, both of us high as hell on acid. Each second and minute that Phish wasn't on tortured us, the lights were too bright, there were too many people talking, were we gonna die? Then the lights dimmed and all the talking turned into cheers, the rest was something right out of the Holy Bible.

Sheekle. Serious question, not being a smart ass. Do you work? How do you have time to go attend all these concerts & festivals you speak of?

Yeah I work M-F
Concerts are usually on the weekend, get off work Friday, go to a festival, come home late Sunday
During the Summer I sometimes take Thurs & Fri's off using vaca days for festivals
Or if work is slow like it sometimes is I won't even have to use vaca days up

Thats awesome sheekle, I wish there were more bands that would play in my parts. Usually have to go to Montreal to see a good show most of the time. Used to go to a lot of shows too but not so much fests. Living in cities you get great bands coming though fairly steady. Shambala was fun tho hahaha
