Does anyone here like the band Phish? They are my favorite band. They do a lot of jamming. They are known best for their really long jams and dedicated fans and also the glowstick wars.

If you have never heard them, here are a couple of their songs

Fluffhead Pt.1
Flufhead Pt.2

Axilla

The Divided Sky Pt.1
The Divided Sky Pt. 2

Julius

This is one of their crazy glowstick wars. Its looks so awesome!

Anyways, tell me what you guys think about my favorite band. No flaming please!

You kiddin me man?!

Phish composes their stuff so complex and their improv jams are just so awesome and technically difficult. I'd love to see how the stuff you listen to compares to phish. I bet the bands you listen to couldn't even jam.

Now I see why wiki says 'fiercely loyal fans'. Its just an opinion, chill dude. Not everyone must like Phish. But the glowsticks look cool.

And that is my opinion on his opinion =D.

But seriously he could have worded his in a bit less offensive way, saying that they shouldn't even be a band is a tad harsh dontcha think? I could have worded my response more nicely too but since he was being rude i was too.

That's immature. Him being rude to you doesn't warrant you being rude to him. That's like saying "but. . .but heeeeeeeeeeeee started it!" in a fight with a sibling. Come on, steevo. You're above that.

Phish is okay, but not great. The glowsticks are spectacular 8|

Yeah, you are right. I usually try not to have stupid immature quarrels such as those. You are right, I should not have retaliated as I did.

haha, everyone seems to like the glowsticks =P, they really do look awesome. Phish also has some pretty crazy light shows such as this.

Phish is okay, but not great.


I think people tend not to like them as much because they have a really weird style that most other bands don't, I guess I'm just a weird guy =P

Not necessarily. Their style is a bit odd, which turns me away a bit. They do have good technical skill though.

On the topic of if our favorite bands can "jam" or not, I like bands like the Beatles, Santana, ink Floyd, the Who, Hendrix, Clapton, Knopfler, etc. so the technical skill and creativity of my faves is not in question :P

Haha definetly not in question. I love all those bands, except I've never really heard of Knopfler, I'll have to check them out. I love the smooth sounds of Santana. I really like Led Zeppelin too, seems we are both into a lot of the same stuff.

Mark Knopfler is the lead guitarist for the band Dire Straits, and also the lead vocalist. He's awesome
