Phish calling it quits on CNN

[ColeBlouin]

hahahahahaha, "Do you think they did it to get interest for their shows?"

She has no idea what she's talking about...

[wspsux]

she looks like a huge fan

[LukeRossTheBoss]

And then there was SUPER BALL IX!!!

[HeadyMane]

AprilFOOOOOOOLLLLSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSS



[ravens1laxerchick]

lol i love how they show a bunch of TAB and oysterhead clips for phish breaking up

[Bing42]

@ravens1laxerchick Where?  All I saw was Phish...

[ZeeGeeH]

I hope phish stays together forever

[pharcyd00]

Ahhh, back when CNN was a real news channel

[hyperness42]

hee hee it WASNT really it.....

[djbz51]

hey nimcapri, they actually did cover gin and juice with snoop on stage. but also, the commenter probably meant bathtub gin. thats an iconic phish song, gin and juice was just a cover

[Laveduds]

@djbz51

ummmm, no.

[Bing42]

@djbz51 Yeah, That was a band called the Gourds. Whoever put that song on Napster and labelled it as a Phish song had no idea what it would cause....

[whitebrother11]

lol oysterhead....

[supguys4]

Sweet shots of Oysterhead when it's a story about PHISH

[harryhood425]

@supguys4 right?!?!? i said the same fucking thing lol pretty much shitting on what was potentially a rather big announcement

[MrGeltabs]

damn right im a moron drug addicted Phish fan

[Rome012]

little does this video know. PHISH IS BACK HA

[scandl99]

lolol where the hell did les come from?

[dillon1278]

They play together alot

[t3amtomahawk]

1:13 Les Claypool is a balla. :D

[warbound09]

phish sucks, but not nearly as much as there moron drug addicted fans

[scoobyfan2009]

@warbound09

you mean not as much cock as your gay ass!!!

[robaba89]

...how you enjoy music is up to you. Everyone is affected by different styles of music differently.. it's really uncalled for, for ANYONE to hate on anyone else's music.

[Umphishmcgee414]

conifertree, you obviously know nothing about music. why dont you stop commenting on phish vids and go listen to some miley cirus, since you dont appreciate music that incorporates talent.

[ConiferTreez]

too bad they're still around.

in all honesty, one of the very gayest bands of all-time. c'mon, who in their right mind would think that this band's shit music was even remotely interesting?

The Crazy Part: THEY HAVE MILLIONS OF FANS.

It's one of the great mysteries within the world of music.

[morecowbell69]

You're 28 and you use the word "gayest"?

There's a mystery.

[ConiferTreez]

Pretty weak job of shifting the attention over to me. didn't work, do better.

this band will still be terrible

[ThailandMango]

@morecowbell69 hahahaha word. because for some reason the gayest band ever is a synonym for the worst band ever

[Joshsvids]

some people get it.

some people do not.

[ConiferTreez]

once again, there's nothing to "get"

either you're into boring, meandering, dorky music, or you're not.

[drewsky80]

you either recognize talent. or you are fucking stupid. PHISH=Talent.

[ibanezguitar1]

@drewsky80 what bird of a feather is that at 230?

[optionaxis]

Hahaha, you're an idiot. Have fun at the lady gaga concert

[ThailandMango]

@ConiferTreez thats unnecessary

[wtfthisisabsurd]

NERD ALERT!!!!

[ACrackInTheWall2006]

Great to see the break up wasn't forever

[optionaxis]

Cant wait for the fall tour!!!!!! Cuse, Albany, MSG,

gonna be sick

[popomczowzow]

I bet that woman couldn't name 10 phish songs.

[GSO752]

That CNN chick is just another "DUMB TV CUNT reading the news and spreading her legs". Their all "dumb fucking bitches", that's all 24 hour news is about.

[gb342002]

who cares... she never said she was a phan. shes just reporting the story dude...

[popomczowzow]

never said I cared, just making an observation

[ConiferTreez]

phan?

kill yourself, you fuckin lame

[MrCinCity1]

you really do not have a life if you watch videos of bands you don't like and bash them, get a life

[bullbunnies]

@popomczowzow i can't

[pwm24]

@popomczowzow at the start of the video she names two right off the go.

[popomczowzow]

@pwm24

I have this weird feeling that she read that from a teleprompter

[filthytrekkin]

@popomczowzow what are you talkin about im always bumpin into her on shakedown

[nastynate1229]

@popomczowzow Hell, I bet she couldn't name three. She read those two off of a teleprompter.

[theez14]

@popomczowzow Who can?

[popomczowzow]

@theez14 touche

[angiewood29]

@popomczowzow 2..from the the telepromter 1 they were playing before the interview. batr and birds

[bestpwnageever]

@popomczowzow

If you're as baked as I am, you couldn't either.

[92eth]

there was alot going on that day aaaredskin. on the bottom it said that a body was found. phish is verrrrrrrrryyyy important

[christensen365]

they are talking about Phish and playing video of Oysterhead . lol!

[masterfuol7]

no it isnt, that is from farm aid 1998

[smokesomebuddah420]

1:10 - 1:17

that is definatly Oysterhead. last time i checked, les claypool isnt mike gordon

[masterfuol7]

wahahahahah true dat

[aliens27311]

Def Oytysterhead. It is Copeland on drums in the clip.

[gb342002]

your fucking dumb

[derf]

thank god!! there back together, trey was messin up needded the band.

[Greg509]

well theyre back just saw em last week at Jones Beach in Long Island

[serjfan13]

when was this exactly?

[tezkag72]

probably 2004

[elsoda]

i dont know..i never got them.....i tried and tried and still think they really suck. so all you phisheads...GO FUCK YOURSELFS!

[phish2008]

did you ever go to a phish concert?

[elsoda]

no pussycat..never been to one of their concerts...i wish i could get into them but i just cant....

[uwarules]

TERRIBLE ATTITUDE you bad bad person. stop trolling

[elsoda]

pussycat..at least give me credits for at least trying to get into their music! i did try!

[chuckwestband]

One: I like your attitude. Two: I like Phish but it took a while. At first I thought they were a sucky jam band from the 80's. After enough drugs and watching them I live I really began to like the stuff. The 80's studio crap I heard was substandard I thought. It's hard to appreciate vamps and two-chord songs but there is plenty of ways to still be musical while implying the verse/chorus format. But that's songwriter talk...

Oh yeah... AND GO FUCK YOURSELF ELSODA! HAHAHAHA!!! Peace.

[elsoda]

UUuuhmm, do u like THE SMITHS?

[patmz15]

i love how at 1:09 it says down with disease, but in the background it shows oysterhead playing, lol stupid cnn.

[foerum151]

they do it for the money. o well

[melanicu]

who are he freaks who are "knowledgeable"

wish i could get lotsa of money for talking out my ass.

better yet- for knowing truth.

[FlipscoRecordingCo]

picture the chick broadcaster inhaling n20 in the lot. lol.

[benjaminbor30]

Way to go CNN for showing video clips of Trey side projects -- Trey band w/ the horns and Oysterhead....

[RogerFlint]

LOL was that a clip of Oysterhead I saw at 1:13? That's definitely Mr. Claypool.

Also, anyone notice "Too Much Junk in the Trunk?" at the beginning? I loled...

[GuitarMike94]

lol that was totally oysterhead

[OrkSlayer3434]

yea lol get it right for once CNN

[circusballoon5]

I dont beleive you

[wizardpretzel]

I like watching this knowing I will see them at bonaroo.

[DeadZeppelin71]

Likewise man.

[CarrotCock]

YES!!! i felt the same way when watching this

[TreydarLove]

bonnaroo is def the show to miss

noob

[wizardpretzel]

I get more bang (many more great bands) for my buck with bonnaroo.

[wesjoe311]

so, nobody should go?

[wholelottaled231]

phish is amazing

[paperbagluchadero]

Please reconsider your 09 tour, you guys are worse than brett favre. and please dont murder anyone elses songs if you insist on touring

[Mookmaster01]

they broke up like 4 times already, and now their back, fuck phish, sci rules

[LavedudsItems]

lol @ sci

[KeithW125]

SCI doesn't have anything on Phish. And I love SCI...

[anarchybmx]

im glad the media was wrong once again...see you at alpine valley :D

[tokeyMcPot]

fuck yea alpine 2009

[mymelomyman]

it takes a lot to get a negative comment out of me. without question this interview is flat out stupid. They're talking about cashing in, and what is it they're doing talking about this. RIDICULOUS!

[Laveduds]

Completely legit question with a completely true answer. That's what interviews are for, too inform the uninformed. She didn't know, now she does.

[mymelomyman]

sorry, but I can't accept the simple logic rule when it comes to media. I think your point makes it way too easy for people to appear as though they know something on the matter. Jonathen Cohen isn't Dead Budnick. I wouldn't presume his knowledge to be firsthand. but i'm not that worried about it.

[chromatixlixrob]

Do I smell some recession gigs In the future? Lets hope so....

[GuhYeahRight]

So they have a video of Oysterhead for phsih breaking up?

[ezekieloak]

I am predicting a full Gamehenge at Hampton ´09. Like none other we have ever heard. A ´Peter and the Wolf´ of our times. That´s my long wishlist.

[Neonyxia]

NOOOO! I love Phish but I honestly hate Gamehendge, except for maybe Famous Mockingbird, Forbin's Ascent, and Lizards. If they do it, I hope they don't do it Saturday night. lol

[P2H]

After splitting in 2004, Phish is regrouping next March for a three-night run at the Hampton Coliseum in Hampton, Va. The March 6-8 shows will be the famed jam band's first since its blowout farewell gigs in Coventry, Vt., more than four years ago.

[Jamman224]

hell fuckin yeah bro more tour updates coming soon

[nimcapri]

Phish really was an amazing band. They've got the mix. Listen to Gin & juice and Wading in the Velvet Sear... That's a peek on to the continuum they operate on. They played music to perfection. I must call them one of the best bands ever. Phish is going to be remembered so, I am sure.

[Crapville41]

Phish doesnt play Gin and Juice.

[Laveduds]

Phish did not play Gin & Juice. The version you are thinking of is The Gourds.

[nimcapri]

Thanks, I always used to think it's Phish (and so different sound!!!)

Damn! I hate those guys wrong labeling mp3 on p2p networks! :D

[overlord3099]

I have the same version that says phish.

[Laveduds]

Reminds me of when I downloaded "Asian hottie with huge tits gets railed" and it was "Ice Age 2: The Meltdown". Surprisingly I wasn't as disappointed as one would think.

[SIRAWESOMECHOCOPANTS]

epic winning fail...

[hitbyacomet]

he did not say zappa was in the dead, you need good luck living your life, you cannot read

[fabio117]

two the guy under me that that zappa was in the gratefull dead, good luck living life dude

[stonesharve]

I guess a grateful dead copy band can run its course

[tlz12345]

hahaha u mean a zappa copy band. how do u figure they sound like the dead????

[fighter4life914]

how about none copied the other. they are all increadable and extreamly creative bands espically phish in the studiop and on stage. to discredit either would be an atrocity. they may have a smiliar jazzy groove sound but all are origional

[wharfrat89]

You can tell by the sad expression on Jonathan from New York's face throughout this interview that he is clearly a Phan!

[GJJ465]

I love the ticker at the bottom of the screen.

This story was wayyy more important though than those stories.

[djbz51]

hey mario idk why you are saying NOOOO!!! they broke up years ago. this is an old video

[mario4prez]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!­!!

[dsirecords]

SHORT twenty years...

[ILMofCEFistillLOVEU]

Its easy sometimes when you just coast along

But like it or not something always seems to go wrong

Sometimes people build you up just so they can knock you down

Sometimes they will have you there cause they need someone around I love this song!!! it is soooooooo true!!!

[JaysJOM]

LOL! The news brief below is hilarious... I mean, not the part about the dead body but where it says the body was surrounded by petals and then.... NYC cops: Petals could've fallen from trees...

[nolanpotter1]

What's that song that they played at the start of this video.

[schellshocker16]

It's called "Birds of a Feather" off the album Story of the Ghost

[Laveduds]

Birds of a Feather

[rowena004]

Id give my left nut to hear a Reba jam one more time...Id give my left nut and my pinky finger

[whiterabbit1968]

Thank's little bro for bringing me to my first shows.. Changed my life forever!! Woke up late, but at least I caught the bus! 20 shows... I'd give anything to make it 21 or 221. Paige.. If your not busy, there's a little festi in Michigan coming up called Rothburry!

[ckman4321]

they show oysterhead in this vid at one point

[macd816]

worst day of my life

[bebopPete]

at 00:38 I glanced over to see what the surprised headie dude was saying about Phish, and at that moment the footer caption said 'convicted Alabama ex-governor Don Sigelmann' and I immediately though 'wow, I had no idea that the Alabama governor was a Phish phan' :-o

[funkforfree]

this cnn anchor is a retard

[bebopPete]

CNN anchor would be a lot cuter if she pig-braided her hair, and didn't shower for two days, and slept overnight in a car :-)

[lappin26]

good one......pllllllllhhhhhhhhhhhh­h

[cue1vinyl]

right on!

[gb342002]

phish will come back... trey even says so at the grammys. search trey at the grammys

[Yoseman2002]

"we're goint to keep thisgoing for a long, long time" Trey - Radio City Music Hall, 5/21/00. I guess a long, long time meant 4 years.

[mochalex]

Les Claypool footage from 1:12 to 1:15. Way to go CNN. Then again, he did jam with Phish a few times.

[Laveduds]

That's OYSTERHEAD footage which Trey was in.

[mochalex]

You're right, that whole segment was Oysterhead! Heh, some dude was in the editing room like, "Crap, they want Phish footage! We don't HAVE any Phish footage! Wait, I know..."

[emitremmus06]

Phish needs to get back together already!!!!!

[thecheat594]

That makes me sad. :( Very sad.

[ummagummas08]

What a bummer to grow up and love phish with a passion, like me, and have them have broken up two years before I even liked them. PLEASE get back together =(

[JimmyPageisGOD]

haha they didn't break up they just went into solo careers. They all are still best friends.

[drgonzo71]

Too much junk in the trunk???

[lickableplum]

trey rules

[sdogs141414]

yes

[frogger919]

they broke up for the disco biscuits

long live trey

[mechalechahi]

Drugs. Too bad.

[westica322]

claypool is a bad ass man and oysterhead is cool but i dont know y they would show that footage prolly cuz they are dumb

[johnm14]

Yeah wats with the Claypool. Fuck him

[headez13]

ah they have oysterhead clips not phish... wtf

[drippypoo]

this is trey we called it quitz due to fishmans random drippty shitz, it was a sad decicion but his diarreah came upon us with "RANDOM PRECISION) we had a man named johnathon report our breakup because it was refreshing to work with a john that didn't crap his pants 24-7 and go to the john 24-7. Phish will continue but without a drummer with drippy bowels like rolling thunder

[reid1234567890]

I remember that day..

[PosterKnutbag]

why is it all trey shots, and they show les claypool playing and not mike.

[phrisbee87]

Any reason they show footage of Les Claypool? I mean, I know there's the Oysterhead connection, but uhhh... he has nothing to do with this.

[Mastertre57]

worst day of my life

[AxisofJustice21]

You can see Claypool shortly if you watch, heh.

[jedediahliddell]

one, had nothing to do wit any daughter being a "tour head junky". And, two, they'll definately play together again. (you heard it here first) So thats whats so 'dramatic' about any band 'calling it quits' or 'hiatus'... maybe, more like an open ended break, or something. Because i'm pretty suer that even they know that its unreasonable to say that they won't ever play together again... unless, (higher power forbid) that one of them dies or something. -i'm still calling BULLSH*T.

[Laveduds]

Phish DID NOT break up for Trey's daughter.

[reboottees]

talking heads are several steps removed from anything Phish. lmao. the reason Phish broke up is that Trey has a daughter who was emabarking upon her teenage yrs and he didn't want her to become a tour head junkie...kinda weird logic in light of garcia's 4 daughters, all of whom renounced hippiedom and now have orgies w/ Ann Coulter.

[rrtierney]

your full of shit man

[dani3lswitzer]

a sad day
