Fuck Phish.

I think that hate threads are generally useless, and I would rather start a more constructive thread. That is, I'll probably get to that tomorrow. For now, I am going to stick with a thread of pure hatred.


Well, this is about the band Phish. They are massive. People follow them in the droves just like the Greateful Dead. Hippies love them. Lots of people love them, buy their albums, wear their t-shirts and hats, and go to their shows, etc. But am I the only one that since upon initial hearing, and since then, has thought..."Wow, what a bunch of complete shit. This music is oblivious shit. Its crap. Its fucking crap. How could anybody be so oblivious to listen this useless shit music?" Well, one of my friends really likes them, and I told him, after years of saying "Fuck Phish!" anytime anybody mentioned them, I told him "You know what. Maybe I just havent heard enough of their stuff, Ill give it a listen. So, I reviewed several of their albums and can now say, witha fresh mind and a ferverent attitude...
FUCK PHISH! FUCK FUCKING PHISH! FUCK THEM IN THE FUCKING ASSHOLE! THEIR MUSIC IS SHIT! IF YOU FUCKING LIKE IT, DONT EVER TALK TO ME ABOUT MUSIC, BECUASE I WILL ASSUME THAT YOUR OPINIONS ARE IRRELEVANT BASED UPON THIS ONE FACTOR.

And yeah, I chuckled with glee when they broke up (and Creed also broke up in about the same week, so double the fun). But just cause they broke up doesnt mean I cant vent a little before they diminish into the foggy bored memories of their fans.

Would anyone like to add to the hate. Lets just get it out here, so we can move on with our lives. Come, gather, and let us feel your hate for Phish.

phuck phish indeed

yes, they do, indeed, suck.

and i completely agree with your point about not listning to someone's opinion on music if they've already stated they loooove phish.

hate on, brotha!!!!

I heard that going to their concerts without dropping acid is one of the most boring things in the world.

poor phish. what'd they ever do to you?

I can feel the hate. And it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. Thank you, I feel like I was screaming in silence for years and years, and it finally just broke free. You know, I just noticed I already feel just a bit closer to you guys, knowing you hate Phish. And thats what is all about. Hating Phish brings good people together.

Yeah, a friend talked me into going to one of their concerts. I figured, that I should give it a try, and with hours of playing, they would HAVE to play SOMETHING interesting. This was a year after I quite psychadellics and drugs in general, so IW as on nothing. IT WAS SO FUCKING BORING that words can not even DESCRIBE HOW BORING IT WAS. I left, and fortunately my friend just happened to be spinning jungle in the parking lot, which saved the day just a little. His power went out, and the phish music poured forth again, and I got the hell out of their with a disgusted look on my face.

Fuck ALL jam bands for that matter.

what exactly is a jam band?
Because if by jam band, you mean instrumental band, then I disagree. But if you mean Grateful dead, Phish, bluesy jazzy stuff, then I would probably agree.

But if you mean instrumental bands in general, then I would disagree, because some of my favorite bands are instrumental. Don Caballero, Ocelot, Faraquet, Rumah Sakit, etc.

amen. fuck all hippy shit jam bands. phish sucks pacthuolli(sp?) scented cock.

...have you considered being an ultimate fighting champion? all that aggression could be directed more constructively...esp about a hippie musical group.

yeah fuck them...i'll be yelling that as loud as i can when i go to see their final show.

If you don't like them, why are you going to their show?

To counter, I'll ignore the musical opinion of any person that dedicates that much energy in hating a band rather than just ingoring them. Owned.

Ill let orangeskies get this one. But I will say that claiming 'owned' on your own comment is reminiscent of a 3rd grader mentality, you should let other people do it for you, really, even though you do have a point. Okay, orangeskies, hes all yours.

And oh yeah...

Fuck phish.

That hasnt been said for at least several posts, and I cant let that warm and fuzzy feeling die out yet.

yes i have to agree, they suck, i heard a bootled concert once that i honestly thought i might like, its the one where they covered the darkside of the moon,.... they butchered it, ..... i have to agree

PHUCK PHISH!!!!!!!!!!!

My ex-girlfriend got some free tickets through her job because she was a big fan. I was stoned as hell the whole time and still bored. The most interesting thing about the show was the band jumping on trampolines. Yeah.

I couldn't agree more!

Years ago I went to see them with some friends who happened to be into that stuff. I consider myself a fan of music and I love getting exposed to music I'm not familiar with. In the back of my mind I was telling myself that the concert is at this really big stadium that holds tons of people so if all these people like them they can't be that bad.

OH BOY WAS I WRONG!

The sucked big time! No wonder why people who are into them do all kinds of drugs, you need the drugs to tune out that awful stuff. Sure they can all probably play their instruments really well, are nice people and all, but that band blows.

Not only did I not want to be there, but some hippie kept on screaming along to every song right behind me. I couldn't wait to leave.

Finally, when it was all over every proceeds to go back to the parking lot to whip out their acoustic guitars and sing along to Phish songs over a make-shift camp fire until the wee hours of the morning.

At that point I think my Phish fan friends even had a enough of them and didn't partake in the campfire sing alongs.

They are abysmal, self-indulgent wankers. Though musically tight and well rehearsed they have nothing to say and the long agonizing "jams," are remeniscent of inquisitional torture. And tie dye, please, lord of hell, I could spew. It isn't enough that the Grateful Dead never dies, at least their acid was good as I recall, but to be plagued by second rate imitators, mincing about, with their soiled little loyal camp followers holding vigils in their muddy, patchouli and rancid sweat soaked North Face 300.00 tents. Spawn of mediocrity, and Mediocrity's Triump!!! It is never inappropriate to express true hatred, and it dosen't take all that much time.

Phish in deed! More like food for my cats and wolfhound.

I've never liked them at all, and I find their idea of 'good' laughable. But! There was a little feature on them in a recent issue of Signal to Noise that made the cultural elements surrounding the whole… phenomenon interesting, if not particulary compelling. The intricacy of the rules they use to make set lists alone is pretty mind-boggling, though it's not as if I'd want to hear them actually play those sets.

FUKING A......YES!!!! you rawk for starting this thread.....they suck.....I wrote a whole short story about killing this band and their fucking trustafarian fans......they could have been decent if they actually played sons that did not suck...but alas.....they did not do this......fookers....and on a side note....NOBODY LOOKS GOOD IN TIE-DIE

I've got a friend that constantly tries to get me to listen to phish............I keep telling him my opinion on the music is not going to change.........phish sucks!

Not all jam bands do suck though.
