I think it takes a shitload of talent to play most forms of metal, even if I don't listen to it much these days.
Wondering if you Phish heads think it's OK that their Halloween "cover costume" was a "Phish album from the future." I find that exceedingly lame and lazy.

Coming from a guy who wasn't there but saw it from the comfort of my couch.
At first, I was like WTF! This is fucking lame as shit. Then as it unfolded and I opened up my mind a bit I was like this is fucking beautiful. One thing you gotta give the Phish is for better or worse they are not afraid to take risks. I think it screams volumes about what is going on with the band right now that they did something so ballsy and against tradition. I might have a different feeling if I had traveled and then been let down because they didn't cover House's of the Holy or whatever, but probably not. I've now listened to the set three times and it keeps getting better. The good is really good, and considering it's basically embryonic at this point leaves me pretty excited to see it evolve. Phish has always and clearly always will do what THEY want to do, not what WE want them to do. Why people hate, I'll never understand. I'm sure whatever your band played in front of a sold out house on Halloween was much more ambitious and creative.

I'm not a fan so my opinion is moot, but I don't see it as taking a risk at all, I see it as taking your fans for granted. Preparing for this show required no effort at all relative to learning an album. They already have to learn those songs. And people don't typically go to concerts wanting to hear unfamiliar shit. For example, I had more fun at Nine Inch Nails then some of my buddies who hadn't heard the new album yet.
It may sound entitled, but they're the ones who established the expectation.

Haha good one. While you're busy calming down how about sending me the beer you owe me?

Haha not you Seul. It's all good. Just said in anger because there was no need for the snippiness/defensiveness.
Not that I owe anyone an explanation but I was a huge phan from junior high to college and a bunch of my friends still are. It's an interesting topic and discussion some of us were having, just was curious what the thinking was here. I didn't punch anyone's mother…
