1992 MTV Interview Part 1/3

[GratefulVince]

The look on Trey's face when they do the leg crossing thing is honestly the best thing I've ever seen in my life. Seriously that exact second look at the look on Trey's face after him and Gordo do that little synchronzied leg cross...kills me every time.

[mainmedic]

Trey is totally trippin' balls 

[mainmedic]

So is Mike!

[sab3629]

itchin to go phishin!! cant even WAIT until new years!!!!!! :)

[mountainjaz420]

reminds me of punch you in the eye, except with beer.

[Bobbypeek4]

And the Journey starts.

[5B4Funky]

What happens to Trey from 2:00-2:10? The shit kicked in and he forgot how to speak. Love how he asks the interviewer to ask the question again cause he has a good answer

[lupon18]

Did anybody else notice at the very end that they both take a sip of their beers and put their leg on their knee at the exact same time? wasn't sure if they planned it or not

[redhouseovayonda]

treys a toke "its a combination of loud and soft"

[nba1290]

3:48 hilarious

[42BassMaster42]

MTV sure does suck nowadays.... They would never play something like phish anymore

[beefcakepanyhose]

5:13

lol

[beefcakepanyhose]

trey is so high. lol

[ooJDMoo]

Interviewing Phish is sort of like attending a live show, they are always fucking around and keeping it interesting.

[asdfghjkl987654321]

trey is awesome and hilarious at the same time. gotta love him

[jdougs916]

yeah thats true, cacti rarely do speak....and mike was arrested for doing that, so he learned his lesson, and besides he has a daughter of his own, so he knows right from wrong.

[dougcapehart]

My eyes hurt. and I can't focus on anything now because of that shirt. Maybe that's why Mike was wearing such dark glasses

[soyounoat]

Watch the subtle ways they fuck with the interviewer and camera (swig drink - cross legs). This is typical of these guys back then. Especially smaller settings early on, they were messing with our hears from the stage. Love, Love,Love Phish.

[suefracc]

@soyounoat i dont think those are very subtle ways

[soyounoat]

@suefracc : Good point. 

[schaaans29]

gordo just screams boss

[vibeguru007]

trey likes "variety" must be why he slept with page's wife

[jdougs916]

@vibeguru007 that never happened, i can assure you

[vibeguru007]

@jdougs916 i can assure you it did happen. why is brad sands not the road manager anymore? eh hem........

sofi doinked trey and brad. yes they broke up because page fish and mike ride trey's coattails and farmhouse was supposed to be a trey solo album but none of the other guys had any material and they had a deadline but buns up begging sofi dillof wrapped her clam around a few phish shafts. she is a slut who slept with scores of guys

[jdougs916]

@vibeguru007 sure know your phish stuff dude. just that im reading the bio now by puterbaugh and no mention of any foul play by any of them, but thatd probably explain why trey's marriage was the only one that lasted. shame. they seem like decent moral guys.

[vibeguru007]

@jdougs916 not sure about the phish moral code but mike gordon didn't get his ass beat by the hells angels backstage at jones beach for nothing. he was taking pictures of a 14 year old girl in this boathouse. turns out she was a hells angels daughter and he got pummeled. they paid of the gang off with a briefcase full of cash. tom marshall wrote a song about it called "blood on the cactus" as you know mike's nickname is cactus because he rarely speaks, cactus like.

[hyaenidae]

Is that a rayon shirt and matching sweats? Nice work Gordon.

[comedybeersexappeal]

They're amazing.  Great music.

[Phly2theMoon]

"Leaving a trail of improved hotel rooms across the country"...hehehehe

[Silveryback]

What the hell? The sipping of the beers and crossing of legs was hilarious... I wonder how that idea crossed their minds. It's just so awesomely... Odd. Love it!

[MrTannerfrancis]

phish is the best band ever and im 11

[Burner609]

@MrTannerfrancis smart kid

[FloydfanMega]

@MrTannerfrancis dude i started lovin them about 1 month ago and im 12!!! good job. pink floyd is also good too

[derossx]

I will forever love all of the PHISH members. I am now taking my 17,18 year old sons to the concerts with me, starting another generation of phans. Pass on the great vibes.

[kylekillsit]

fucking weirdos. gordo is such an odd guy

[banishedimmortal]

It looks like they made a deal before the interview that either time anyone of them says a number, they have to take a sip of beer and change the way their legs are crossed. Funny idea...

[rachelmaeking]

At 3:48, was that a coordinated effort to sip beer at the same time and cross their legs? Hilarious...

[tstorm816]

is that Chuck Norris

[GaryNull]

boring band

[ColonelForbin1971]

Mike. Sticking it to the man. anddd 3:51 sums up my love for these guys.

[Rhet0rik]

4:11 hahahahaha yeeeees

[YpSiLoN666]

I love Mike's shirt.

[eddiemoon]

YES!!! 4:11 ... THAT is Phish! :)

[thedizzit]

hahahah mike's one goofy motherfucker

[magin9131]

wats with the in sync sip and cross?

[notmefuckingname]

talent pure talent

[blightlv]

@magin9131 "hey dude lets do something funny during the interview?" "What?" "When I look at you sip your beer and change the way you have your legs crossed" "LOL OK trey"

[TennesseeRiverkeeper]

U.V.M.

[cavemandan]

Trey you met spin doctors when they played at arrowhead ranch... lol u forgot!

[superjay42]

"It's a cross between rock-jazz-funk-Latin-Broadway-­and-bluegrass," followed by the Cactus Grin.

Fucking EPIC.

[cwag07]

its a mixture of loud and soft hahaha

[Thejbirdy]

It's amazing how bored you get on the road that you can't help but want to clown around....

[gb342002]

3:34 hahaha! guys are studs!

[gb342002]

hahaha and the fourth member has now found god hahahahaha

[ernestotorres1977]

They definitely planned the beer leg crossing, That's how they play live, not a planned out concert but little almost unheard of clues to keep them somewhat orderly.

[ilovecolinandbrad]

I LOVE THE FUCKING BOOK!

[vettefever67]

hahaha mike's glasses. awesome

[phishtixvideo]

then again at 5:13

[phishtixvideo]

lmfao!!!! They do the beer schwill / leg cross in the other direction at 4:13 <<<<<

this is classic!

[phishtixvideo]

Who thinks they planned the syncronized beer schwill / leg crossing at 3:47

how cuteeeeeeee :)

[sixstring1995]

"How would you describe your music"

"uhmm ide say its like a combination between Loud and Soft"

hahaha that cracks me up

[DTinVienna]

let it never be said that Mike Gordon is a slave to fashion. Love it Cactus!

[ThizzFaceOffNike]

lol gordon is such a eff'n pimp

[IThinkWereParkedMan0]

dude i love these guys, that cracked me up when they would drink the beer at the same time and switch their legs. they even drink beer in sync

[DirkBeveridge]

That is exactly what I said, they are a bunch of dorks (0:50)

still love em

[camelspider99]

gordon still dresses like its fucking '92 - everyone chill out ive been listening since 96 i aint talking shit (its the truth)

[Sean123771]

hah its true

[coldsliceofpizza]

still rockin the neon yellow wifebeater

[Mmorgpgamer]

not a wife beater

[jeffsal]

3:49 phish is ridiculous

[brettwills24]

guitarist who found god = jeff holdsworth

[kc7fys]

Mike is such a gimp. Wow.

What's the name of the guitarist who "found God?"

Or was that a poorly-conceived joke?

[herecomesthepaaain]

The guitarist who found god was Jeff Holdsworth. He quit the band to become a born again Christian and follow televangelist preacher Jimmy Swaggart around the country.

[kc7fys]

That's amazing. Of all people, Swaggart?

Thanks for the picayune info.

[LauriRHCP]

What's with the "take a beer and cross legs"??

haha, funny!

[phildd0t]

It's a ploy at the "Secret Language". The answer to your next question is the SL was a secret language that the band used to communicate with the audience and themselves, a lot of the time to mess with listeners of the show who may not have been there, or who were there and weren't watching =P

[yaiknowscrewme]

..Ohh boyy get off teh drugs

[tehcrazydiamond]

Funk, latin, broadway, and bluegrass. Hahaha, well played, Mike.

[yaiknowscrewme]

Only commie fags come from vermont.

[felon1379]

lol, i love how u go to all phish vids and talk shit, i guess ur life just really sucks

[yaiknowscrewme]

just a few vids..hey cant say i didnt try to like it..

[soyounoat]

@felon1379: Going to all phish vids, reading the comments and trolling them says that you're a wealthy bitch magnet driving around in fast cars.

[goldsjo31]

you should really consider taking a really sharp knife...and holding it with the blade facing away from your chest and run into a fucking wall

phish is amazing

trey is amazing

go obama!

[Quacksnarf95]

haha.

[aquamauza]

Well said.

[tenorbass]

trey is reallly high I bet

[JCaudy]

they are on Acid

[NBD4EVER23]

yeah its emo

[johnlennon1994]

what the fuck are you talking about

[deadhead65]

i like how they sychronize their drinking and leg position changing lmao

[cletusthefetus4]

"our next album, which is worth buying" i didnt think id ever hear trey say something like that

[marleyisaprophet]

damn they got too doesed before this interveiw.....hhahahahahah trey loses his whole train of thought haha :) loveem "i answered. and became the bass player"

[spd13062]

Mike's rock star period.

[vemanaracer]

those two dorks have to be the worst so called musicians in history...taht trey guy would be better off as a chuck norris impersonator...only ignorant not so well traveled people would think they are actually playing music..

[Emericaman132]

im gonna go ahead and stick with the other 700,000 people including myself that say phish has created one of the best styles of music that is still listened to today. o and i saw another "hate phish" comment from you on another vid, so for a guy who hates them, u sure pay an awful lot of attention to them.

[cuisinier1nicolas]

eat a dick buddy

[jbibbali]

Hilarious!

Now switch -

[jbinthesky]

hysterical

[gtgwbab2495]

"well, it's a cross between rock, jazz, funk, latin, broadway, and bluegrass"

[TangoBinAlsheed]

Yeah no doubt, what the hell is Mike wearing?!?

Looks like he stole P-Diddy's track suit!!

[phunkyglass]

when PHISH were goofballs..Love that shit

[stuartzoo]

I love how they both take a drink and cross their legs at the same time. (3:50) lol

[Cmon199]

that is called messing with the interveiwer

- stuartzoo

[howlinmadmurphy7]

wtf is mike wearing

[Sauce75]

Why MTV decides to play shitty tv shows that have nothing to do with music over this is beyond me.

[aleatoric12]

i feel ya

[tomaum]

their music to me is kinda like rainbows, and lots of spaghetti.

[shumaked]

cadillac rainbows

[puntiagudos]

LMFAO funny as hell!!!

[dgotting]

I want to see another phish show so fucking badly. Maybe someday

[smokesbob]

Miss them all..

[johnm14]

"How would you describe your sound?"

Trey: "For me, it's a mixture of loud and soft."

lol

[fluffhead059]

love how they sip the beer and prop up their legs at the same time. to me it almost doesn't seem like they've changed much, besides their cloths.

[SolitaryWarrior2006]

Aww yeah, very good and very funny. Just one of those SMALL "insignificant" inuenodos. I will love them until I die like the Dead, The Doors & Floyd. The company you keep.

[tomaum]

amen, brother

[fluffhead23]

lol

[JimmyPageisGOD]

thank god for phish

[dgotting]

Thank you for posting that comment

[peteyel]

HAHHAHAHAHHA I love phish, and i love their unique personalities

[JoshDrewbix]

Air Gordon. The G is soft. Rock high tops.

[Tellyourstorydrifter]

They're on Dose I think.

[bonzo4380]

It's a lispfest

[pjyielder]

jesus christ, mike's sunglasses complete me

[colonelbeef]

5:15 rather than 6:15.

[colonelbeef]

Notice at 4:15 and 6:15 trey says something which prompts them both to laugh, take a drink and switch their legs at the same time. I wonder how many times they did that during interviews, for their own benefit. too funny

[darkscarecrow]

a lil phish drinking game that we'll never find out :(

[tzolkin2013]

Nice shades on Cactus

[reid1234567890]

What happened at 2:09?

[PhakeNam]

I think the sound guy had to do something. not too sure. this is the raw footage. you can hear him say something off camera.

[Craiger666]

It is awesome that these dorks got so huge.
