This band is done

Then they get obsessive about Phish. Get bored. Gripe on the internet. Claim MusicBandRockDance is so much better. Obsess about them. Get bored. Gripe on internet.

Oh good still talking about Phish

At least we're talking about a band that isn't sucking right now.

DMB is playing sold out shows overseas and sound great.

Phish has a message board(s), not sure why you spend so much of your time on a fan forum of a band that sucks.

At least talking about that (which I disagree with) would be relevant in this thread

I've been here since 2007 and post mostly in nDMBc because this area is filled with geniuses like you.

I didn't ask when you joined, I can see that for myself where it says "join date", because I'm a genius.

I asked why you spend so much time on the fan forum of a band you think sucks right now?

Ha of course I'm going to other shows. Been to a lot of big arena shows lately but I'm speaking of seeing one multiple times within a small time frame. Given the option of seeing DMB 4 nights or Phish 4 nights. I'm going with the later.

Troll on. I had my Phish high this summer came down and have moved on to other stuff but would still go see them any day over DMB.

The comments made were contributing to the conversation. Not sure why DMB fans hate to have Phish even mentioned on these boards.

Phish band, phish. Band Phish

And I answered that in the same post.

that's because people overseas haven't had the opportunity to see DMB in ages now. venue sizes and number of shows have decreased for DMB in the US drastically. this isn't a coincidence to their current state. it's a reflection of it.

this year, it hit me that if they don't change anything up next year, i can't see myself spending the $90 to see a band that accepts mediocrity in their shows. and being completely honest, i never thought i'd see the day. i still wish they'd go back to the Caravans. those were easily some of my favorite shows and formats. they catered to everyone.

the only reason Phish is being brought up here is because these are two bands that came to the scene around the same time and who are trending in very opposite directions. many people are fans of both, and this is just a discussion. there's no doubt that DMB knows exactly what they're doing in terms of creativity. there's a reason they didn't announce this year as one acoustic and one electric set. they just called it "2 sets", so they could sell more tickets and create the idea that this would be somehow different than last year. and it wasn't.

i was honestly more entertained watching Phish webcasts this year than going to the sole DMB show i went to. i understand that some people might not be interested in it, but this isn't hiding the fact that the two bands are indeed polar opposites of each other right now. Phish continues to push their limits and see what they can achieve show by show, and DMB doesn't care about show format or when they'll even release their next album. very uninspiring.

Thank you for your opinion, you are certainly welcome to it.

If I thought a band was so uninspiring and mediocre, I would definitely stop going to shows and would certainly not waste my time on their fan forum.

What I don't get is why Phans have to tell us that Phish is better and that DMB sucks over and over? We certainly get your opinion, but that's all it is.
