  • I go every time they are in town just to make sure they still suck.

  • Comment removed

  • I would rather be at a GOP debate!

  • Worst Band ive ever seen 156 times

  • Yes they do Suck!!! moe.'s better!!!

  • i dont get it... wheres the reason phish sucks?

  • haha this must be Sarcasm..

  • Why do most Deadheads not allow themselves to appreciate other music. Listen, The Grateful Dead were awesome musically and basically pioneered a scene that allowed a giant fan/cult like following to tour all over the US with them which is also awesome. But its OK for other bands to take over the reins of that scene and duty. The Grateful Dead were a rocking folk band. Phish is a rocking jam band. They can both coexist equally. To me, I sure as hell appreciate and am thankful for them both...

  • @berdsong Amen

  • @froggy091084 1) Almost every youtube clip of Phish has some sort of Grateful Dead fan ripping on Phish in the comments below. I really don't see it the other way around when you look at Dead Youtube clips. 2) The Dead and Phish are 2 different bands. Agreed. 3) Where you say Phish's lyrics are 'fun', I would use the word 'abstract'. And Trey's licks as well as Page's melodies along with Gordon's bass lines have given me more meaning than words could ever describe...

  • @berdsong Funny I was going to say the same thing about both Dead and Phish fans. Never have I met a more musically illiterate group of people. 99% of the Phish/Dead fans I know/met thru my life have the most narrow taste in music. Often times they are the most difficult to turn onto a new genre or sound. They are also the quickest, in my experience to down talk any form of music made without classic instruments.

  • Why is THIS why Phish sux?!? ... great scene!!!

  • damn hippies!

  • If he actually thought Phish sucked he wouldn't be at that Show!

  • just because you dont like them doesnt mean they suck. this band is comprised of some rather talented musicians. So get bent.

  • Haha this is great evidence why phish is awesome. Does that not look fun?

  • phuck you

  • I've said it for years Phish fucking suck!!!!!!

  • In fact I can smell it for here

  • Jacobsprague1 and your pussy is big

  • God this music is shit...

  • @nickaholm and your dick is small

  • what the hell r u talking about thats a normal phish show dumbass

  • phish rock bitches

  • @MeMe4809 damn straight.....been gettin' down at shows since 1996. THEY DO ROCK !!

  • I can see why psychedelics might be mandatory...

  • lots of different color people ! thats why Phish is the BEST band on the planet. POSSUM !

  • 0:46 I think I see a black guy!

  • Makes perfect sense actually "why phish sucks"?.....the fans.

  • the title doesnt even make sense you say they suck yet the video told me otherwise

  • that just about sums up perfectly why phish sucks. a boy in a dress, a ginger with glasses, and a buncha annoying kids with glowsticks noodle dancing!

  • Best live band ever.

  • Whoever doesn't like this, I'd like to see YOU get up and play in front of that many people and see how many people say that YOU SUCK.

  • Phish is king. I brought my friend to a show once, no interest in Phish, knew not one song, he was into punk rock, wasn't even into jam bands, and he was so blown away he was hooked and wound up on tour.

  • Dead is better.

  • @YoungButDeadicated : Good luck digging up Jerry!

  • well done troll, tell your momma I'll be over shortly for her weekly trim;P

  • damn how many people are up in that place?!?

  • yep' never got em, never will... I'd rather be FISHING between Dead Tours or now, FURTHUR TOURS. Phish Blows and Trey makes faces like he's shitting his pants when he plays.... I was front row in Scranton Pa for a Phil and Friends show and I could actually smell the shit... Joan Osborne kept covering her nose with a hankey and would move away from him. Finally they put a fan on him and blew the stank back stage...

  • @RatDog67

    ur a dummy.  go listen to bobby and the midnites. we'll rock out to phish.

  • @jayriles Well it's Furthur now but Bobby is still doing some solo stuff. I'll be seeing him in late July after the Beacon run of Furthur. Dummy is the best ya got? Hey, I'm not lookin for a fight, it's all cool. As long as you dig the music that's all that matters.. It may be more important than you think. Hope ya catch some great shows this year. I got Furthur and Allmans at the Beacon set in stone as well as that solo Bobby thing in late July. Very close to home. Peace & Love my fellow man.

  • Yup. This definitely sucks.

  • Comment removed

  • @johnmitchel1958 I was born in 1966. 57 Dead shows. Zero Phish. Not that I dislike them. Lawn Boy was a fun album as was Tale of the Ghost. But you don't have to be born before 1960 to get it. Just saying. Not fighting. Inspiration move me brightly.

  • @Evster2012 i like!,terrapin dadada,terrapin mnmnmnm i love when they did a terrapin

  • @johnmitchel1958 ur spelling would suck to if u were smokin some dank ass trainwreck typing with backwards with 1 hand u dead head wannabe

  • @superskunk61 sorry wrong person

  • If Chuck Norris was a jam band, he would be Phish.

  • I laughed and told him..."Seller beware!"

  • Yea, easy to get ripped off if you don't keep a tight grip on yer greens. Phish LV 2004 some 3rd party punk tried to bid up the price of an extra I was handing cash over for, until I told him to get lost and threatened to kick his whimp ass, fading geezer that I am...He ran like hell and the quivering seller stuck by our deal. When you're my age, you've seen a lot of livin and diein, and the young punks don't even know the extent of what they're likely to unleash. Death don't have no mrcy

  • @phishyman2 - OK, fair enough. We just grow weary of misleading titles which seem to be Madison Ave. scams. Down with the Disease! Oh, if you use that idea, you should split your profits with Pam and Trey! Or just get Pam to do Trey....

  • not a hater but phish,the rainbow gatherings r no more,the ones u c now r phony,most people,there still r some true blues but hard to find.u have to go throgh to many a-holes to find 1 descent person.phish u never b the dead,ur not trying.it sure looks like it down to the lot,but we had the real vibe,2 much bad vibes goin on to catch the good ones.f phish

  • @superskunk61 Not a hater, but your spelling makes you look like an idiot.

  • Phish!

  • phish kicks ass f off all haters

  • BTW, thanks for the "Pamela Anderson Sucks Trey Off!" idea. I'm going to be rich, bitch!

  • deadtimber - Actually this was not a case of viral marketing. I posted this video as a joke. I never dreamed that 30,000+ people would visit this video. It wasn't until around 25,000 hits that Youtube asked me to monitize my videos. Being that I am a capitalist, not a communist, I chose to accept their offer. Since then I have made about $10. You have every right to not click on the ad, and even have the option to make it go away, all while denying me $0.50.

  • @phishyman2 what ad? I haven't seen an ad in my browser in years. FF + AdBlock+ for the win!

  • @phishyman2 I just clicked on four (4) ads. I hope I earned you $2.

  • @phishyman2

    I thought you are not allowed to monetize live music from another artist?

  • phishyman2 - So its all about viral marekting, huh? More pennies in your pocked from the popup ads by posting an inflammatory title of a video. Next one, post "Pamela Anderson Sucks Trey Off!"...That'll make you some money! Dumbass commercial buttface. Are you really a phish head or just someone who likes to scam? Some might say this is evidence of the "Phish generation" of MBAs. I doubt you'd ever see a Deadhead pull a stunt like this. But thanks for posting, if really it is your video.

  • @deadtimber speaking as biased as i can.... the deadheads are fading fast man. its pretty easy to go to a festival these days and get ripped off. times are changing, and unfortunately the hippy communtity is no exception (as much as i hate to say it)

  • @awlbluemoon - Fading fast? Well despite the fact that "all those dayglow freaks who used to paint their face, they've joined the human race, some things will never change"...I wouldn't say we are fading fast...I'm still doin 20+ big shows / year of Phil/Bobby/Dead projects, Phish, Kimmock, Allmans, Herring, etc. and a whole lotta others big & small. "We will survive!"

  • @deadtimber i totally hear what you're saying man, our subculture is one that has recently began to explode into the public/mainstream eye....i find myself thinking, "kids these days...". its just like with any type of music tho.... there's a bunch of kids running around getting trashed, and not even enjoying the music or even trying to understand the music that lead to the generation of music they're enjoying now

  • The entire concept is kind of sad.

  • I only click on to agree with the title. some good evidence here though.

  • Charleston rules!

    phish is ok.

  • this was the last time i saw phish. got screwed this summer and couldnt make it to a single show. spring tour c'mon!

  • possum is such a good song

  • Worst song in history.

  • @jerrysknees1 I agree.

  • @jerrysknees1 fun song and it always rips. don't take it so seriously. no one else does.

  • i'll tell you what sucks, those god damn glowsticks.

  • I was wondering why your name was phishyman and you would make a video about phish sucking..hahah but hey that's funny phish is the sheeeeiiiitt!

  • oh it joke then it ok if not screw you but it joke

  • your end is the road!

  • YEAH, SO I AM UNSURE AS TO HOW THIS EVIDENCES PHISH SUCKIN, MORE EVIDIENCE OF THE RADNESS OF PHISH, ADN THIS SLIGHLTLY MELLOW END TOA RAD TUNE.

  • @secundusventus 1. read the uploader comments.

    2. the video title is sarcastic.

    3. TAKE YOUR CAPS LOCK OFF

  • GLOWSTICKS SUCK! phish rocks (:

  • @donriccardo glow sticks are fucking awsome man

  • Primus sucks. Phish ROCKS.

  • LOL! This is at N. Chas Coliseum, which has crappy acoustics if you ask me. I saw them at Gaillard in '93. Hmmm, or maybe it was '94. So freakin' good. Then saw 'em at N.Chas Coliseum for their first show there, which was still good but the sound pales in comparison.

  • that was fuckin awesome

  • i can't believe how many people thought this was serious! hello! well, phish still sucks, and i will spend/go into debt close to $1600 at MSG this year proving it!

  • yes, they really do suck. i agree. that meatstick from new year's eve 2010 was awful too. the worst. and all those songs that they have, like 100 or more original songs, they all suck too. well, i am going to msg this year to watch the whole suckfest! i love you phishyman2, tho! see u there!

  • Yes this is the Charleston show. No it doesn't suck. It was a joke, but it seems to have aroused the curiosity of 32,000 views. It is all in how you title your videos.

  • PRIMUS SUCKS!

  • the irony here is palpable

  • the irony here is palpable

  • i don't get it, great version of possum.

  • this is great! lol

  • is this charleston?

  • what show is this? i think i was there, i can't remember really haha.

  • Yeah, you can totally tell how much Phish sucks by how tiny the audience is, and how bad of a time they're clearly having! =D

  • Thats IS proof !

  • i love everyone

  • it's primus that sucks

  • @westica322 but not literally

  • possums such a great tune. glad they busted it out so much this summer

  • Im a huge phish phan and it makes me mad when all these negative people that feel the need to let us know how much they hate phish. and bring us down. go listen to music you enjoy and try being positive

  • Comment removed

  • @rgrube81 You are sincerely stupid. So you are saying every jam band sucks? other than the dead. Jerry garcia would slap you right in the face for saying that. Don't over analyze. If you don't think a band like fish is talented with one of the best guitar players to ever live as the front man, you sir are merely stupid.

  • @Laxer1313 ??I guess this is a Typical PHISH not FISH fans reaction. If your such a big fan of Treys I'm suprised you can't spell the bands name right?? There's no way in hell you can put Trey up there with the all time Grate guitarist. That's plain stupid. Call him your favorite, that's cool, but one of the best to ever live as front man,,,come on.Get real...And why debate over it. Just dig what you like and keep on TRUCKIN!...Peace

  • @rgrube81 Take your own advice. and I can see you didn't catch my attempt at implied sarcasm with the "f"ish joke. But low and behold, Trey is absolutely one of the best. And people who are well known in the music industry agree as well. Thinking that he isn't with his creativity and innovative style, isn't very deductive. I'm not saying he's top ten, but he is a genius guitar player and musician. If you don't see that, then you are blind. Look and phish's following, there is a reason

  • Was tthis in Pa?

    

  • i think i miss your point.

  • HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHA PHISH DOES SUCK!! lmao. thank you very much for sharing:):)

  • I always thought Phish was a talented group; but the crowd: girls who grow out their armpit hair and guys who dance to this shit are retarded. And Pinesol smells 110x's better than that petuoli oil slime.

  • that was then. this is now. there shows aren't a good time anymore

  • talk about sarcastic rimullets' takin it there

  • PHISH IS THE WORST JAM BAND WITH THE WORSRT CROWD PERIOD. YOU MINDLESS KIDS DONT KNOW HOW TO THINK FOR YOURSELF. WAY TO JUMP ON THE TAIL END OF THE BaND WAGON

  • @RImullet So 22 years ago when I stumbled upon a band that ultimately changed my life forever, I was only going to shows because I was told to. Get a clue, douche-nozzle! I hate fucktards who write in all-caps!

  • Possum fucking sucks.

  • Phish does not suck. Trying to dance to Phish in stadium seating sucks.

  • i recognize their talent and especially their intellegence , however i would not put one dollar in trey's pocket if that dollar was even given to me. the pompous ass that he is does not compare to Widespread, Dave Mathews, and would not even come close to challenging ekoostik hookah with lyrical ingenuity, harmonic convergence, and sincerity regarding their fans. Phish indeed sucks ass and was the worst mistake that came out of my generation.

  • not even funny looks like good time man

  • Phish rocks, Phish is great, Phish rules. Go listen to Justin Beiber, Miley Cyrus, and all the really bad garbage that you are supposed to listen to nowadays for no reason. Leave one of the greatest bands of all time alone.

  • haha, this looks like the reason there good to me

  • I am old and used to see phish at bars for $7 bucks it was worth it then, saw them until they played the garden. That was it for me to many kids not enough adults. maybe its a better scene now hope it is.

  • Phish sucks because it's so hard to get tickets

  • Ive never heard the word phish and sucks in the same sentence. Fuck you

  • this is from charleston...

    probably two of the best nites of my life.

  • Nothing awesome about this.

  • the definition of a 'had to be there' song. I fucking hate this song, but can't help but get down when i hear it live. energy brahz, energy.

  • ok, was gonna get mean

  • charleston? i was front row :)

  • All that over a dead possum. It was a big deal.

  • I really enjoyed the part where it showed why Phish sucks.

  • awesome party

  • Very cool footage just spotted myself in the crowd !! Great show in CO

  • This is horrible! Why would anyone dance around to music that sets you free? Fucking HORRIBLE!

  • i think that most people just hate people's enthusiasm for phish. all the fans aside, they're still a pretty decent, maybe sometimes forgettable, jamband with a damn good light show and production team. all the music aside, the fans are unbelievably enthusiastic for this band, bordering raging-lunatic-"maybe i should be worried" excitement. people can get into this whole package and a lot of kids do. but if you don't like one part of the phish experience, it seems all very confusing.

  • I think its clear by all the Phans that STORM Phish concerts that they do not and never could SUCK!

  • hey joseph, you didnt get the humor of this post at all obviously haha keep it up phishyman!

  • Phish piss in the ears of their listeners. God hates phish and the fact that they push lsd on to the younger generation.

  • Mike Gordon touches little children

  • the suck because they play possum at like every show now

  • Joseph, I hope you are not talking to me. The video title is meant to be sarcastic. Thanks for viewing.

  • @phishyman2 But they do suck.

  • @phishyman2 lol, i'm sittin here like wait who could think this sux ???

  • Phish sucks because you have no sense of humor? That doesn't make sense. Most who hate on Phish are usually pretentious d-bags who are afraid of being remotely associated with anything a "hippie" might like. The sad part is, Phish has such a deep, rewarding, catalog that they have something for everyone.

    Their musicianship is undeniable, their compositions are magical, and their shows are fun. Do they occasionally sing off key? Yeah. Do they occasionally miss a change? Yeah. Get over yourself

  • The worst part is at 1:06...

  • wait, so why does phish suck?

  • @ultispimp I have a theory.

    Maybe it's the crappy-ass quality of this video, audio-wise.

  • @ultispimp because they have that song, Mirrors

  • @ultispimp Fucking Vermont yuppies, that's why.

  • @ultispimp doesn't suck, it's just kids music. sounds like sesame street music, before I heard rock and roll. ah, memories of being young and uninformed...

  • @ultispimp because it's crap

  • @ultispimp Oh, phish sucks so much that they have 30,000 fans in the crowd, all cheering, that have paid to see them. Phish is amazing, this video is stupid.

  • I think all of those guys are talented musicians, but I think their catalogue is weak, their covers are mostly lifeless, their stage antics are dull, and their sound is anything but profound. Phish ripped off the Dead, lowered the culture, and lowered standards. Sorry guys, but I just dont get the whole Phish thing.

  • @theatlantisrise phish didn't lower the culture, they kept it going if anything. they are nothing like the dead, except for the dedicated following. i love the dead and phish, but to say that phish catalogue is weak and covers are lifeless is foolish. i never got why deadheads hate phish but phish heads love phish and the dead.

  • This show was the peak of my existence.

  • I wanna see people even try to start a band as tight as Phish

  • There's nothing to get. There's a reason why the majority of people who like their music take drugs.

  • My bro's uncle knows Kuroda. Helped out with security at Lemonwheel. Claims he's been hearing a lot of buzz that Phish will be playing at least one, possibly two, outdoor gigs on the site of the former Spectrum in Philly during a late "Holiday Tour"! Beyond stoked!

    Can't wait til the circus comes back to town! Giddyup!

  • look at all those lame white people lmao they SUCK!

  • yea. look at those freaks. they don't even look like they're having a good time. Oh! and the worst light show ever.

  • K, FAGGOTS LISTEN UP. ITS CALLED SARCASM. GET FUCKED.

  • Fuckin Possum man!!!! Hell ya! and you're right, if you think they suck.....you just don't get it. The most important band of the early 21st Century bro. Thank you Phish for continuing to play shows and keeping a smile on my face!!!:)))))

  • extreme suck!

  • your mom didn't think the phish sucked when i used it as our mellow porn music

  • Hey Dickface with the some odd 80 fucking shows or whatever it is. It was a legit question using software that I've never used. What does it matter? If you know the answer, fucking answer the question rather than be a complete fucking asshole on the board. Been around these parts 10x longer than you have and your kind, son, make me want to fucking puke. Good thing your pic isn't up because if it was I'd fucking kick the living shit out of you if I EVER saw you at a show

  • A band that can improvise a set. They must fucking suck.

  • @fireofsev Every set, must be a terrible band

  • so much hatin goin on. if theres two things phish is not short on it is 1) fans and 2) trolls

  • those faggots aren't even wearing eyeliner or playing power chords. give me 30 seconds to mars, please.

  • I get it, What a crap song...looks like everyones having a crap time. Thats why we keep seeing this band, all the bad music and terrible times.

  • @theslothII Its just a big trend. People like this cuz its popular to like it. Just like the dead - the musics only good until you run out of acid.

  • @WhiteOfUnknownOrigin I'd say over 25 years is little more then a trend and their only getting better. How many other bands do you know that have touring almost nonstop for that long. Have you ever seen the band live? Seen them this summer? They on fire, no drugs needed. Please watch anything from this summer, check out Harry hood 9/4/11 and if your still not impressed then you we just have different tastes in music. And Jerry Garcia played bad music, have you ever seen him play?

  • @theslothII almost nonstop? 5 year hiatus...?

  • @migbee Ya, thats what almost means. The band started in 83, now it's 2011 and they took a 5 yr hiatus. Almost 25 years, just like I said.
