Stars Who Couldn't Stand The Grateful Dead

[@GrungeHQ]

What do you think of The Grateful Dead?

[@c.a.t.732]

World's most over-rated band.

[@christophercampbell1677]

Greatest band ever!!!

[@travelinben1966]

​@@christophercampbell1677 I remember hearing the saying "We'd be grateful if they were dead" by hard core rockers.😂

[@christophercampbell1677]

@travelinben1966 lol awesome. As a deadhead I say. These guys suck. 😆 🤣

"We're like licorice. Not everyone likes licorice, but the people who like licorice really like it a lot" - Jerry Garcia

[@travelinben1966]

When most of the crowd are in a coma,it's easy to have hours of of peace and tranquility.😂

[@602VL]

I love licorice and the Dead if I am ready for a nap.

[@Jupiterbotz]

The Dead were a while different scene. People that can't appreciate 4 hours of peace and tranquility and dance can't appreciate a Dead show. It was a different scene and can't be repeated again. I went to about 100 shows up uptil Jerry passed and I always had a wonderful time. So sad for folks that can never experience that again.

[@darthcheney7447]

RIP Phil. Thanks for 40 plus years of good times and great friends.

When Duke Ellington was asked in 1969 what musicians he considered the best at that time, he listed Jerry Garcia, Jeff Beck and Boozoo Chavis-enough said!

[@TerpeneScorcher]

Long live the dead. The music never stopped 🎶

[@el_duderino8202]

Cobaine had the musical talent of a 3 year old making noise. I guess screaming the same verse over and over into a mic while not having any talent and thrashing about on stage makes you a musician.. grunge and nirvana died a long time ago in the mid 90s. Not to mention the Dead are still selling out venues almost 60 years later.

[@NicholasANappiNick]

The more I listen to the Dead the more I like them 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤

[@wildbillsheiressusa]

Grateful Dead is just fine without you ppl as fans lol. Long live the hippies, their legacy will last 4eva

[@phishmi1]

Steve Miller even opened a summer tour for the Grateful Dead in the early 90's.

[@bobschenkel7921]

Yep, I saw that tour in D.C.. Steve even came out and played a couple of songs with the boys. Well, well, well, you never can tell.

[@hankwedelmusic9965]

Jerry Garcia himself wasn't a fan of The Dead and often acknowledged how ropey they could be...He appreciated the history, the songs and the lifelong friendships but he spent much of the 70s/80s/90s performing and recording with a very wide selection of musicians apart from The Dead exploring different Americana styles... you can almost hear him laugh at what Keith, Kurt, Anthony said about the band or at anyone else who disses them...

[@bartmay9560]

None of these musicians would be worthy of tuning Jerry's guitars

[@c.a.t.732]

From what I've heard, Jerry would get so stoned before a show he could barely tune up himself... so maybe some help by "these musicians" would have been useful.

[@bartmay9560]

Clearly you’re not a musician

[@bartmay9560]

But hey, to each his own

[@PFB1994]

I don't think Jerry ever tuned his guitars.

[@jackhaugh]

Jerry could have played circles around any of these guys.

[@jamesgorski7551]

Rip Mr Lesh.

[@cactaceous]

Love Nirvana, Cobain, Keef and Bourdain. Having said that… Long Live The Dead.

[@JJG86]

Why would anyone care what Kurt Cobain had to say? Anyone that blows their head off with a child at home is a disgrace.

[@philknox]

I agree.

[@cjnav7832]

The only difference between you and kurt, is you live to speak of the disgraceful things you've done Leave the dead alone and be grateful

[@JJG86]

@ The difference is, I wasn’t selfish enough to kill myself and leave my children fatherless. If you’re such a fan, why don’t you emulate him.

[@Mike-vr4lw]

Driving that train high on cocaine .....😊

[@retlaw190]

I grew up on 70s, 80s Hardcore/Punk rock & I love the Grateful Dead.

[@slimedog]

Just about my least favorite music but I admire them for many reasons- they never appeased record companies relying on their live shows to survive, they encouraged fans to tape their music, again turning their nose up to record companies and creating a musical company to enjoy music as it was always enjoyed within the history of the world. In a communal setting, not alone with the things sticking to your ears. But I do think it's funny how I like, very much, all the bands mentioned who didn't like them.

[@smokesletsgo2374]

Exactly. They aren't my thing either, I dig a handful of their songs (Deal is a banger) but I don't see any reason to actively hate them. Their music is not overplayed on the radio and they were never big on MTV except a brief time in the 80s. In all honesty if I never want to listen to the Dead again it's very easy to do so. You have to go to them, they don't go to you. It's not like How You Remind Me by Nickelback which was on the radio 100 times a day for 20 years. I can see how you'd hate that

[@SloaneHomeAlone]

I saw the dead in concert. They played for 3 hours straight. That song sucked...

[@joecoffey4199]

Well played.😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@cjnav7832]

Please post the link to your KZbin site with all of your 2-minute songs. We want to judge you, now

[@dmercury292]

I liked the dead in college. Wasn’t a huge fan like some of my friends. Now that I’m older I like them a lot more. I’ve seen Dead & Company 5 times. Loved every show.

[@ChristopherWhite-m2o]

[@willisjefferson5886]

Half the people you mention in this video who hated the Grateful Dead committed Suicide, They were not THAT bad

[@greggtrubee9565]

For all you nay-sayers on the Dead, perhaps you should listen to their catalog before you make ignorant statements. Obviously Bourdain did not like himself either. The dead could play Rock, Jazz, blues and blue grass. Not bad for a bunch of no good musicians. Ha!

[@tallspicy]

Listened to it, still hate it.

[@PaulFormentos]

Ya know when Macca returned to live shows in 89, the Dead were one of the reasons

[@bobschenkel7921]

Two dudes who killed themselves, Kurt Cobain and Anthony Bourdain, and some other dudes that I saw once, Keith and The Stones, Steve Miller, who I really like, and Johnny and DeeDee Ramone, who I saw three times, but it doesn't matter. I saw the Grateful Dead 50 times, so I guess I know what I like. You have to have patience and forgiveness to be a Dead Head, something spoiled "rock stars" know nothing about, I guess.

[@PtolomëCravencraft]

Thats funny cauae Courtney love was on the back of greatful dead album when she was 3 . 😂😂😂😂

[@MrMightyslim]

Cobian has the authority to speak on songwriting and guitar playing? I will leave it right there. And The Modern Lovers? Nough said.

[@Skyhawk472]

I saw Steve Miller open up for the Dead not just once but a number of times. Maybe the fact he wasnt the headliner was what stuck in his craw. As far as the Ramones and Nirvana... give me a break! I love the Stones but Keith seems to have always had a beef with guitarists that are more talented than him. Look at the legacy, The Dead are more popular now than they ever were. My $.02

[@leonardyuhas9927]

it's interesting and telling that two of those people offed themselves .....

[@jamesinwood4170]

To each their own but -The Grateful Dead are are one of the most talented innovative and creative bands of all time- their music is still thriving and broke the record of most top 40 albums on the Billboard record chart (59 albums) with - 35 million albums sold world wide- so millions of of people can’t be all wrong!

[@purplestuff]

Millions of people voted for trump. The amount of people that like something says nothing about it's quality.

[@mr.g1758]

I'm not a musician, but I've never understood the appeal of the Greatful Dead. I don't see the talent.

[@cjnav7832]

Your opening statement explains it all. Read it again in order to "see"

[@mr.g1758]

@cjnav7832 Music is diff things to different ppl. Some ppl love rap, which is not even music really. The Dead have no redeeming harmonies, lyrically or musically. But like I said, millions love rap too.

[@keefhabeck7982]

Not liking the g d is a sign that you’re a massive kook

[@user-kcrpine]

Yet Richards in 80 years couldn’t hold a candle to what Jerry did in the 60’s.

[@rustybear5125]

Is that a joke? It should be cause it's hilarious.

[@roxiebeagle]

Steve Miller said this? He opened for the Dead in Summer 1992.

[@jackstraw6760]

The Grateful Dead were the best punk rock band in history Mr. Cobain. They didn't need a record label or Ticket Master to sell a show. They didn't need MTV and a cool video. Anyway I love Nirvana and the Rolling Stones but i really love licorice. The real licorice not the fake stuff.

[@jackstraw6760]

LMFAO the Grateful Dead have endured the test of time. Loved by fans that weren't even alive on August 9th 1995. Loads of shows from the 60's to the 2020's. Proving Jerry Garcia correct that not everyone likes licorice but those that do really love licorice.

[@drogba4evah672]

Ironically, Jerry was very open to all forms of music and even praised the rise of punk rock as a welcome breath of fresh energy. Nonetheless, we've all met many clout chasers who acted like ragging on the dead made them more "edgy". Very lame.

I still like the music from the 50's on up to the 90's .But , what I have to laugh at is how these artist in this You Tube clip called down the Grateful Dead for drug use when most of them were no better and in some cases worse .Don't get me wrong . I really like all the mentioned celebrities , but they were known for their drug choices . AND when it comes to the Ramone's not liking the Grateful Dead ....The Ramone's didn't even like each other. They were known for their feud .

[@larrygottenberg853]

Poor Poor research..You do know who Courtney Love's father is?? Steve Miller was very happy to open for the GD and jam with them for Midnight Hour at Buckeye Lake in 94. He really looked hateful on stage...

[@9davidlong]

Keith Richard's is a rhythm guitar player. That's all.

[@jeper1969]

He played the solo on Sympathy for the Devil among others. He’s solid

[@9davidlong]

@jeper1969 If he was solid, they wouldn't have brought in Mick Taylor. He's a good songwriter and rhythm guitar. When Jones died, they could have gone on with what they had, but they didn't because they knew they needed a lead guitar player.

I'm completely weird with The Grateful Dead. I either love them, or like to completely trash on them.

[@joecoffey4199]

As a 61 year old bluegrass enthusiast and amateur musician, I respected Garcia's attempted forays into the genre, but as for the GD itself, well I never smoked weed, so I didn't get it. But then again, I was never much of a fan of rock/pop in general.

[@MarkLeahy-b1k]

Without weed, the Grateful Dead wouldn't sell out a phone booth.

[@Sue-cz8vt]

Totally I hate some idiot playing badly on a drum kit or guitars for hours. They do not have enough talent to perform a whole show. How many underage child are getting raped, turned into addicts, disappearing into a terrible death buried beside some lonely back road. Their luves stolen, their families that live in agony having never seen their kids again. They should be stopped for god sake. If they did their thing and they weren't hiding behind their so called band they would have been arrested a long time ago.

[@saulschlapik6818]

The only thing the Dead ever accomplished was to prove that you can use rock instruments to play elevator muzak and anything can sound good if you're sufficiently wasted. Keef has every right to be pissed at them because they hired the Hells Angels for the Altamont concert and then refused to play when they started wreaking havoc. As a result the Stones got all the blame and nobody blamed the Dead, not that the Stones were completely blameless. Too much religion!
