The Grateful Dead? More like Grateful to BE Dead rather than listen to their terrible music!

God made a deal with Jerry Garcia that if he killed himself he could avoid the fiery pits and be reincarnated as an ice cream moms love

There are a lot of people who love the improvisational live music of the grateful dead and most of them don't listen to jazz for some reason.

It's because by and large, jazz doesn't suck

When I get to hell, they'll be playing Darkstar over and over again. Or more likely Fire on the Mountain.

Then they will find out that does nothing to me compared to listening to Bob Dylan's basement tapes with The Band, and I will suffer for all eternity

Those are all really bad but "fire on the mountain" is one of the worst songs ever written

Nah, no way. Never going to defend arguably the worst jam band but Phish are at least tolerable if you somehow stumble into a room where their "music" is being played.

One time a high school friend found me 10 years later after I had moved across the country and he turned out to be filthy crunchy traveler hippy freeloader complete with dreadlocks and baggy patched up corduroy pants. He wanted to sleep on my couch for the night, I said sure, and proceeded to get black out drunk, find my roommate's Dead cd, and sat on his bed for 4 hours listening to it on repeat while extolling the virtues of what a masterpiece of was. He then threw up all over his bathroom and we kicked him out early in the morning.

Thanks for listening.

There are many worse bands than the Grateful Dead, that is a given. But what other bad music has so many albums, so many fans, so many cover bands and even documentaries about them? In this way the Dead win.

When I was in rehab one of the counselors had an actually cool class every weekend where it was musicians and their substance abuse issues but one of the classes was Blue October because she was a hyper fangirl of them so there were like only 5 of us who showed up, 2 ended up leaving and the rest of us stayed out of politeness as she gushed about them for an hour and a half. It was not fun

Any band can make bad music but there is only one with a cult of morons large enough to make waves in the drug market when one of their former members plays tamborene for ben folds or whatever

What’s the worst live show anyone’s ever been to

Mine is probably a 2005 bob Dylan show in a baseball stadium where he never talked to or looked at the audience, sat sideways playing a piano and his songs all were unrecognizable and sounded exactly the same. He was halfway through Memphis blues before I heard a few lyrics mumbled that sounded similar. I also saw a middle aged woman pass what looked like a 5 year old a blunt

Anti-Flag.

The lead singer walked up to the microphone before they started and seriously told the audience "Please don't smoke you guys, it hurts my voice."

At a punk club.

Filled with smoking teenagers.

As punishment for his hubris I repeatedly jumped on stage and knocked over his microphone stand.
