Phish naked guy Yamar 120509

[Iggins420]

"Set the gear shift for the high gear of your soul!! You've got to run like a naked guy, out of control!" runrunrunrunrunrun.....

[GrizzleSchnizzle]

the reason they didn't just tackle the guy immediately is all the stage gear. not only does it belong to the band but it's very expensive and not worth knocking over just to tackle some guy, naked or not. it's also custom rigged for that particular venue and probably has enough electricity running through it to power a small town. better to just corner the guy and get him off stage as gently as possible..

stage crashers are nothing new to phish, on the other hand they're usually clothed...

[SativaBeliver]

it would be during ya mar too haha treys like get away from me faeggg

[Pin3app1e3xpre55]

this doesnt happen to be the naked guy in carini does it?

[PhunkyPhishPhan]

Dude Trey and the band obviously thought it was hilarious enough to change song lyrics to naked guy, laugh and crack jokes all night long. Sure the buys have aged, but they obviously still know how to have a great time. So relax, because while you got pissy, Trey got a nice laugh.

[evanisthemans]

Not even cool, like others said what if this became the new big thing. It's irresponsible and dumb. Like what are you attempting to accomplish, seriously? "Hey Trey look, Trey look, your not looking, seriously Trey notice me, please," so weak I wanna punch that guy in the head on general princible

[noworries042]

he was a naked pa

[regalbeagle77]

Catching wild trouser trout.

[regalbeagle77]

He was a no good pa.

[hoontare]

what did trey say?

[Luke139]

"Let's hear it for the naked guy"

[Rome012]

ha everyone was so wasted at this concert.

[janiebird06]

hahaha my friends and i loved naked guy.... it was an epic streaking. he gave them a benny hill pursuit if i ever saw one! he gave us the gift of having a story for years... hehehe.

....OH just saw some comments... dont get the bad vibe? grow a sense of humor! makes life a lot more fun when u laugh at the shenanigans.

[dano1881]

So what if this becomes a "new thing" at phish shows? every night a new naked guy jumps on stage and hangs out with trey till security hunts him down. i mean, phish always did innovative stuff, like the trampolines and those huge beach balls... why not this? A naked guy every show. what a great fucking idea. You guys in? Sounds great to me.

taking off your clothes and rushing the stage is a rookie move, plane and simple. i dk how excited this dope was. it's just stupid stupid stupid...

[benjiboy576]

absolutely made my night

[mattstretch]

ok, you kids are fools to think this was a bad thing. Streaking has been in human history for 1000's of years. In fact, I thought it was absolutely hilarious and made the show even better. What's he going to do, sweat on him? I commend Trey for his reaction. So keep your homophobic, fear mongering, 'terrorist' preachin out of public's eye, because your making your own world worse. Its a naked guy, awesome, get over it.

[reflectiveperspectiv]

Yep just a naked guy, but at Phish though, if you've never been to a phish show then I pity you. I can't possibly think of anything more fun you could do with 5 hours of your life :D

[seanfostek]

@ snap I know that guy he lives here in Va haha. Hes actually not that bad of a guy..... shaznanzi happens when u go out eating doses. haha.

[macphreshie]

run like a naked guy was a line added to Antelope near the end of the show .....

[snapssnapssnaps]

it is funny footage.

but not very cool.

luckily, it was a harmless diversion.

the venue was super-cool and the vibe was cool all night.

this creep jumping on stage was the most out-of-place thing that happened at an otherwise solid, well played show.

fishman is a consummate professional - he never stops playing through the whole ordeal!

"let's here it for the naked guy!

it took a lot of balls to do what he just did."

whatever.

[drylandphish]

I was there!!!!

[jsterrapin]

the Barry Sanders of naked guys

[cdcranfo]

Thank you for capturing this.

[Thebestbaneever]

when does trey say "run like a naked guy out of control?" i dont hear it...

[iamjamielincoln]

that's actually at the end of the concert in a song called run like an antelope (the normal lyrics are "you have to run like an antelope out of control")

[doktordre77]

Where's Carini when you need him?

[toecramper]

you got to run like a naked guy out of control

[wesleypipes11161]

lololol

[toecramper]

Matt R. DUDE YOURE FAMOUS...and fast. RICHMOND VA FREAKS KICK ASS

[SirSampsonSimpson]

who is this matt guy??? he is my hero!!!!! i honestly just want to send cash in the mail to this guy! what a great end to an awesome tour! thank you matt whoever you are!!

[TheStinkybison]

If you knew Matt you would understand why this moment was perfect.... MUCH LOVE BROTHER..... REPRESENT

[grizax]

I go crazy when I listen to YA MAR too

[silverboogaloo]

was so funny....even funnier that YA MAR is the song that got him in the buck

[wharfratt82]

ive been seeing phish since 96 and this was one of the coolest moments at a show ever

[achildwithoutaneye]

whats a naked greased up naked deaf guy doing at a Phish show.....oh wait, the lights are awesome.

[DTinVienna]

Carini's gonna get ya.

[sakuramingo]

for everyone to know: this show was friggin awesome!

RUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUNRUN

YOU'VE GOT TO RUN LIKE A NAKED GUY OUT OF CONTROL!!!!

see you guys in miami :)

[radtwelve]

he wasnt naked

[babzc]

oh honey , so obvious you werent there, he was ever so naked,,

[mikeluddit]

Naked dudes in any scenario pretty much suck. That being said, get over it. that shit is hilarious and didn't mess up the show at all. Also, if any of you have seen Phishman's pork tornado thing, youve probly seen his singers actual spotlighted asshole. that was friggin horrible. Some of you Mufkers need to quit your hating.

[mk546194]

kiss my black ass!!

[Orsino89]

How plump was ze head?

[fireykissis]

Just so everyone knows, he did not get arrested or go to jail. Just kicked out of the show.

[dano1881]

naked stage jumpers need to be female and hot. or at least just female. otherwise security needs to give the dude a beatdown. i know it is highly unlikely, but what if this jerkoff was pissed at how they played the last tune or something and pulled a monica seles on trey? then we'd all be asking where the hell security was. biggest problem here is idiots like that ruin it for the rest of us.

[mikeluddit]

dude, your serious? your bi, your bi your bi your bi your bi you must be bi. you think he needs to get beaten up by security? you should probly stop coming to these things.

[dano1881]

perhaps "beaten down" by security was a bit much, but certainly this guy needed to be restrained. we live in fkkd up times and jumping on stage is just dumb. trey shouldn't make like he thinks it's funny because that just encourages more retards& more retards means more security. and more security sucks. i think we can all agree on that. msg security let us get away w/ alot of sh-t precisely b/c most of us arent retards. we should keep it that way. naked dude, say off the stage

[Davviiidd]

well said brotha

[westxcoasttoobs]

MSG was siicckk. during intermission we were passing around goodies while security was 5 rows in front of us in the isle. they stood there for a good 10 minutes. then they just left and down the lights went once again!!!

naked guy is pretty funny though, totally dumb, but cleaaarrrlllyy he had gotten a bit too lifted.

[achmed9989]

What kind of fun killing Nazi are you?!? Yea Naked Dude!

[mikeluddit]

Dude, your serious? your bi your bi your bi your bi your bi your bi your bi, you must be bi. You really think he needs to get beaten up by security? You should probly stop coming to these things. P.S. self hatred is never going to free you.

[babzc]

did you miss the point of the music?phish sings something about beating people down ?lol

[Megamediaplex]

dot com

[barberitis]

Does anyone remember the Great Went? Some douche jumps on stage for the intro to Harpua(the encore) adn hugs Trey. Trey basically backed up and gave this dude the "Fuck off" face. I* have always hated stage jumpers and this one is no different..Lame.

[Lindzo47]

Matt you're the shit! You crazy bastardddd

[Durs2220]

Trey said (while applauding him), "Let's hear it for Naked Guy. Ladies and Gentlemen, Naked Guy. It takes a lot of balls to do what that guy did." Then, they changed the lyrics to two songs to refer to Naked Guy. All time classic. (I also heard from a VIP friend that Naked Guy was not "caught and released," but was instead actually jailed though. Bummer.)

[dano1881]

good -that retard needs to be thrown in jail. phish crowds get away with a TON of sh-t by security at these venues precisely because they don't pull stuff like this. i must have talked to 20 security people at MSG and almost all of them basically said they allow the fans a reasonable run of the place b/c they are generally a easy, respectful crowd. i dont mean to over-react but this is just stupid? i mean, did he want to f-ck trey? why did he have to be naked?

[mikeluddit]

relax, its funny.

[DiscoSisII]

Naked Guy has a nice ass! Call me!

[kearney927]

what does trey say?

[DiscoSisII]

"You've got to run like a Naked Guy out of control!"

[bodhisattva21]

Personally, I thought it was hilarious. Livend us all up at the time and the boys were raging and having fun. hope they didn't search him...ha.

[hunterhandlemusic]

killer show, words cant explain

[Nuthinsweet]

was an body else at Madison, WI, Fall '98 when another naked got on stage? classic.

[Bannister2001]

I was. It was during Prince Caspian, and the jam really took off as a result. Good stuff.

[Nuthinsweet]

niceeee!!  University rent-a-cop!

[DFitzTube]

Wow. This was yesterday and its already has 6+ thousand views. I guess a lot of people are searching "Phish naked".

=D

[dreamsbedreams27]

YESSSSSS

[Luckyanus]

Yeaaaa watched it front row shit was halarious

[VLatte143]

I was there. That was the funniest thing I'd ever seen. I couldn't comprehend what was happening until I saw bare ass.

[jrumble82]

[pittsyltucky]

Matt -- LMFAO!!!!! Glad you didn't end up in the hoosegow!! Repre-ZENT-in' RVA!!! Good on ya, mate!!

[adobeslabs4mehgirls]

[DirtyGuitarRiffs]

Epic show, would've been priceless if he waited until Antelope.

[bearson94]

setlist was exactly the same as MSG night 1

[jtensen2]

Yeah, except for the fact that it isn't.

[littlebrother1122]

My first Phish show as well. This was when I ventured from groovin in the gateway to see the stage. Epic evening indeed!

[chuckadisc]

Great show - Phish was tight - and this made it better! funniest shit I've seen in a long time! Security was tight at this show, so full credit to Matt for getting on stage! Join Fans of Naked Guy on FB - make it go viral.

[dividethesky2]

[tuckersmawley69]

[daned420]

[StarGazer7101]

He actually wasn't fucked up.. You'd have to know him. It's a Matt thing. Lol.

[MatthewStevenRooks]

I am the naked guy!!! My name is Matthew Steven Rooks, I live in Richmond, VA, I need a job, call me (804) 662-0607

[tiffparsons1]

@MatthewStevenRooks

What kind of work do you do? I might consider hiring you but the fact that you didn't wait until the end of the show to streak makes me wonder how smart you are ?!?! JK ... great job! Hope you didn't miss the show! You definitely inspired the Boys for a smokin' show !!!

[hedgehog]

I'm amazed you're already out of jail, congrats

[phishin648]

[StarGazer7101]

[chunkybutt420]

[tennesseevol]

[chunkybutt420]

[StantonWalsh]

Ya Mar > Naked Guy > Ya Mar

[crustyundies123]

Please, no more naked dudes at shows! PEOPLE FOR NAKED CHICKS!!!!

[Brosephj]

the barry sanders of naked guys was the link I clicked to find this. PT!

[anmargow279]

that's infamous.... and the band played on!!!

[Murph42000]

HAHAHAHA

[molecularchaos]

Trey - "That took a lot of balls"

zing!

Z

[sydfloyds]

hmm, there go his 20 sec. of fame, I don't speak out much against others, but that probably wasn't the coolest thing to do at the moment...

[Tbone00095]

lol my dad went to the show

That's pretty funny, it took like 3 minutes to tackle him down xD

[SpreadHeadLINC]

barry sanders

[speeedballl]

It sets a bad example. I can see how freaked out they look when people come on stage. Must be scary for them....

Hope no one thinks its a good idea to do that at Miami...

[Kristin372]

After trey said lets hear it for the named guy .. What did he say after that?

[jonahschulte]

"Let's hear it for the naked guy! It took a lot of balls to do what that guy just did." Hahaha... good one, Trey.

[aurzada]

Fishman didn't miss a beat. Classic. Totally non-plussed.

[harrycloud13]

mikesokolowski is totally gay. lets all hope he dies. let us pray...

[UEnjoyMyself441]

you're lame

[daveywoods]

you are retarded.

[Rome012]

ha how funny was that. i didnt see where he originally came from at the show. everyone was like "i wanna give him a shot" after

[trinocular]

12-5-09 naked dude > 11-6-98 naked dude.

[colbruce]

Historic vid clip, thanks for the view. Reminds me of The Island Tour 1998 when a guy ran on stage with a backpack, and Fishman and Trey changed the words in Carini and Antelope referring to it ("Don't let Carini get you," as Pete Carini was the one who caught the interloper on stage).

[shuadude]

Correction, dude with the Tigger backpack on 4/3/98 did not get caught. Don't let Carini get you, is exactly what he did.

[arm7420]

awesome..he was a naked PAA!!!

[gog3d]

what's funny is when he's released or bailed out tomorrow and they hand him back what he came in with. hope his friends bring him some threads.

hopping up on stage is lame, funny to see once in your life,but It cant be very comfortable having some dude running full sprint at you on stage. trey always handles it well, i'd like to see him deck the next one, to avoid another.

[proy122]

He was a naked pa.

[deji5577]

i was at the show about 7 rows back in section 101... that guy is a freaking idiot! he missed a ragingly awesome 2nd set and a great first set. hope he has fun in jail.

trey seemed to like it ... "run like a naked guy out of control"! Trey is fantastic.

[reardan]

FUCK YES!!!
