Phish Vs. Grateful Dead

But PHISH cant spell Fish... Silly... and Greatful Dead is very difficult to spell.

 

but the "Greatful Dead" is spelled "The Grateful Dead"...silly

 

Im not positive, but i do remember reading that they have jammed on stage before. which means they probably did a lot of jamming off stage as well


by the way...on account of there being more votes for GD than for phish, im going to RECAST my vote, to boulster phish some more and make it appear like they are winning this debate


PHISH


PHISH


PHISHPHISH


jerry can lick trey's balls



just kidding about that last one! but yea, both of them being in their prime, i bet trey could beat the crap out of jerry. jerry being all fat and sluggish and all. then again, trey kind of has girlish tendancies-a little limp wrist, gay lisp, propensity for crying on stage during final performances. but jerry was a lazy fuck who ate burgers nonstop while laying on the sofa. he wouldnt have the energy to stop even a girlish trey from bitch slapping him

in conclusion i dont know what the hell im saying

PHISH

 

Um Jerry never jamed with trey. Jerry was the baddest guitar player that ever was. Trey is a big loop solo and stolen Santana and Paige riffs

Remember

 

Phish is my vote. The Dead are legendary, extremely influential and have a much bigger following. but when it comes down to it, the guys in Phish are just better musicians, and Trey is a better songwriter than Jerry.

 

timmyhoover-that is the funniest thing iv seen in atleast a few hours.



and to the previous poster...one thing i wouldnt defend about phish is songwriting ability. musicianship, yes, but but songwriting? i mean, have you ever found a moment in a box? tom marshall, who isnt even in the band, wrote most of the lyrics anyway

 

....better songwriter than Hunter and Garcia?
alllllllllllllllllrighty then........*rolls eyes, shakes head and grins knowingly*....

 

um, yeah, i don't know about that one either.

 

grateful dead, phish, beatles, jimi . . .. if i ever get to name a band im gonna spell it wrong and then you all love me!

 

haha

by the way i know that Tom Marshall wrote the lyrics, i was talking about the music. Some of it is just so powerful and moving, and i really haven't had that moving an experience with a Dead song, although i love both of them, i still think Phish is better.

 

pardon my language and no insult meant towards phish, but i think the grateful dead could kick phish's ass any day.

grateful dead by far!

 

well they had more members, so yea, theyd probably win in a fight

 

I still don't ever understand comparing Phish and GD. Personally I like Phish more but Jerry was really a great musician. The Dead (today's band) are just ok, without Jerry. I've just never understood the comparisons coz Phish music is so different from GD music, to me. Yeah, I know the jamband thing, but still, it's apples and oranges.

 

*~ agree on the apples and arnges part! ~*

 

I don't like bob weirs voice and never liked the over jam caused by phish!

but like both parking lots!

 

I agree, but I like apples better than oranges. Apples would be Grateful Dead. Oranges would be Phish. I cant say who is "better" but GD has my vote for preference in eating.

Kermit, I love that thing in your signature!

 

QUOTE=crummyrummy]I will also go with The Dead.


and for those who care, DarkStarOrchestra, april 20 2005, at Norva, Norfolk Virginia. Always a good time.[/QUOTE]
Can not wait for this show. Also, Ratdog is coming around the same time to the Norva. Both should be excellent shows.

 

Yeah it really is tough to compare them. they're very different. a lot of people compare Trey to Jerry, while Trey is actually much more like Santana than Jerry. If apples are the Dead and Oranges are Phish, then i prefer the citricy taste of oranges!

 

JERRY LIVES!

 

hehe just like Jim Morrison and Kurt Cobain and Elvis.
