THE NEXT GRATEFUL DEAD

icp

i think they pretty much already are the new dead

imo the new grateful dead is probably the string cheeze incident.

btw been jamming the dead all day. workingman's dead, live/dead.

yeah mee too thats why i got to thinking - imo the new the dead is the most coveted spot in the biz - its hard to figure exactly what the required qualities are - dont think any of the typical jamm bands have it tho

I think listening to grateful dead must be a sign that Fall is on it's way. The bright greens and sun beams of summer give way to the psychedelic colors of Autumn.

Sometimes I think that people and their current music choice has similarities to dogs knowing when a storm is brewing. Meaning that seasons are definitely relevant to music listening choices. Also weather and the moon.

i don't see a viable dead alternative among these poll options

ICP>Dead.

elmo yr welcome to vote other and share w/us yr choice - also plz send me sweet ass dead t thx

what's the criteria - band w/ cult following who tours nonstop, gets $$$$ b/c of loyal concert-going fanbase, builds big culture surrounding the exp. of being a fan?

yeah i think thats sort of the nuts and bolts aspect but its bigger than that too

like phish was never the next dead - not enough magic

icp is in the running then!

seriously JUGGALOS that is a pretty big and distinctive subculture

yea phish wasn't the next dead - the culture developed too much out of the dead's shadow. seems like there are too many phish fans who WANT them to be the next grateful dead so that they can be a part of it that whole experience

are Boredoms in the running?

o man can believe i didnt include boredoms

o man cant believe i wrote can believe when i meant cant believe

if the boredoms got suddenly wildly popular thatd actually kinda mimic the deads career arc

for those criteria ICP looking pretty solid i guess

though time will tell re: merchandising empire

hatchet dude vs dancing bear?

btw i have a tshirt idea which is a dancing bear w/juggalo face paint - u can run w/that so long as u send me one

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

serious question: do people "do" a tour of animal collective?

like caravans and hotel rooms and selling crappy grilled cheese sandwiches?

no i bet they do for icp, tho :(

they dont... yet!

tbh i think the next grateful dead might be mv&ee with whatever their band of the moment is. i've seen more live tapes than i care to think about. extended jams... beards... hippies. think about it.

they played on saturday in the park before bunnybrains. i'm sure they are nice people. bunnybrains were awesome. but bunnybrains couldn't play that long because...somebody before them played too long.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

AC's show in prospect park on saturday was less Deadlike than I expected. kinda disappointing from a people-watching perspective tbh

thirty-somethings with family! students! skinny jeans!

well there was one guy dressed in a banana suit
