I dont dislike GD, but im usually listening to Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett (his solo stuff), The Doors, The Beatles, or Hendrix. Some of GD's tunes are really chill when baked out of my mind, but nothing can really come close to Comfortably Numb IMO.

the name the grateful dead came from the pleasant "letting go" during ego loss..... the grateful dead is the greatest band that has ever existed, and will ever exist. every single person here has been influenced by them PERIOD. i know it is pointless to argue about this i just felt like i should at least give an opinion.... if you don't like there music then fine i guess... but everyone should respect them and give thanks to them for what they did involving the awaking of our specious ....




Makes perfect fucking sense to me.
If you don't get it, then i'm sorry... :smirk:

Their name is actually based out of an old folklore in which the spirits of the recently deceased are in limbo.  A kind stranger offers the "dead" some tokens so that may enter the afterlife in peace and leave their earthly existence for good.  Hence, the "dead" are grateful.
But the name can easily take on other meanings too.  All of them just as true as the next one.

Actually.....the "Grateful Dead" name was randomly generated when Jerry and some others were looking through a dictionary. They found and put those two random words together and thought it was a good name for a band. I wrote a biography paper on Jerry for a college course and I read that from two different books about him. And Phish and Dead are totally different except that they both improvise....improvised:crazy:

yeah I know they're very very different. I meant more like they both are improvisation bands. To me phish is more structured, and me like structured things...

I swear this is the 5th thread of its kind in the past few months. If you don't like grateful dead, go back to listening to your phish. Each and everyone to their own. I like GD I dislike Phish. Same with you who seem to dislike GD.

My first impulse was to post that the Grateful Dead have kept me sane.  Fortunately, I am already sane. :smile2:

What the Grateful Dead have done for me is make me love my life and cherish you.

I find GD to be horribly composed, boring, not to mention not as influential as people tend to think. They were just some drugged-out hippie band who happened to come into fame as everyone was wigged on acid. Sometimes, I wish a good band would have had all the hippies following 'em around instead.

i love the dead with a passion my life is filled with continous streams of rich thick pure dead music that flows in from my stero and then soaks into my head and all of a sudden i find my self in the front row of a dead show with thousands of close friends that i have never met before and we ae all swaying to one tribal beat as jerrys rifs flow out like cosmic smoke and the rest of the band plays on bob weirs infectious rythm sucks me  in phils bass thumps my chest the drums pound in perfect snycronization mickey and bill are a team and the piano plays and with each note it sends you farther than ever before and it is there that i get a fix and then the end of the album comes and all of a sudden i find my self back in my room on my bed completely taken of breathe and speechless as the euphoria pulses i relize man i gotta back and i hit play again and im gone... in fact as i sit here typing i am bouncing back from my journey peace to you good friends

I have never liked their music particularly, and the lyrics never really interested me.

Deadheads seem a little over enthusiastic to me... kind of like teen age girls and pop stars... just overly obsessed.

I have my reservations as well as to whether or not they are part of a larger LSD generation Illuminati "psy-op" type of thing involving esoteric cults.

I know many people who know all the members and were seeing the dead in parks before they were even the dead and I can assure you there is no GD conspiracy
