Talk:Trey Anastasio

message: I just wanted to say that whoever came in and reorganized this article, particularly the intro, life, and discography sections, did a fantastic job in my opinion. That's a better picture, for sure. After I'd added a lot of information to the basic "stub" about Anastasio's projects and had outlined a musical analysis of his guitar playing and his composition, someone then came in and, in my opinion, really muddled up the intro (not that it was that great as I left it), and I just wanted to say great job to whoever came in and fine-tuned it. I'd say this article is just about ready to rock for the time being. Why didn't you take credit for your work in discussion? That's cool, just saying you should be proud. Great work.
I went back through after a review and fixed a few grammatical and spelling errors that appear to have popped up during the cleanup. We need to be careful about that, this <I>is</I> an encyclopedia, after all. Also, I put the reference between the Languedoc guitars and the Starcaster back in. It's important for guitar enthusiasts, because the Starcaster and Trey's guitars are some of the only hollowbody models in existence with six-inline tuners, which is pretty darn distinctive (and helps them hold tune better than most three-on-a-side models).

thread_title:  Great job cleaning up!

message: I want the content about Trey's signing of "El Diablo" or the "Devil's Horns" at the August 9, 2004 Phish concert in Hampton, Virginia, put back on the main thread. While he has the right to worship the devil, he needs to be exposed at the same time for the devil-worshipper he is. If anyone has seem him give the Devil's Horns at other concerts, please chime in. It will just add to the exposure. - unsigned by a nut

thread_title: Bolding Treys side projects

message: Not to cast a negative slant on this otherwise well-written article, but I was suprised to find no mention of his alleged problems with narcotics.  I know he has never been "busted", publically checked into reh-hab or made a formal statement regarding the matter, but much as an article on Keith Richards wouldn't be complete without a paragraph detailing his life-long battles with addiction, this also seems incomplete without at least a nod to the seemingly well-substantiated allegations amongst his fans about drug abuse. 
What drugs does he abuse? I know he's admitted to LSD, Marijuana, and alcohol use. As for Crack Cocaine, Heroin, PCP, MDMA, Meth, Queludes, San Pedro cactus, Peyote cactus, psilocibin mushrooms, Amanita muscaria mushrooms, salvia divinorum, or Ayahuasca abuse, that remains to be substantiated. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.27.118.187 (talk • contribs) 19:27, 20 Oct 2006  (UTC)
:"Well substantiated allegations among fans" isn't encyclopedic, as there is no original research here. Substantiated in a reputable source is encyclopedic. BabuBhatt 20:29, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps a distinction between use and abuse is needed. Use of LSD and marijuana in no way entail abuse. He said in a Rolling Stone interview that he found cocaine freebasing problematic so he stopped, which seems like a hallmark of a person who doesn't abuse drugs but merely use them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.73.49.9 (talk • contribs) 21:13, 24 Oct 2006  (UTC)
I'm not exactly sure this is relevant information. Particularly if you look at how his bust in Dec. 2006 is given a very lengthy paragraph at the end of his biographical information. I think at best this warrants a sentence or two, but it seems terribly unbalanced. Frankmccloud 15:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Drug Addictions

message: I don't have any sources in front of me, but as a long time fan of the band I do remember seeing, on several occasions, Trey's middle name reported as "Guiseppe", as in "Ernest Guiseppe Anastasio".  (I remember thinking "how did 'Trey' come out of that?".  Prior to reading this Wiki page, I had never seen his middle name reported as "Joseph".  I certainly don't have grounds for editing the page, based solely upon memory...however, "Guiseppe" obviously not that common a name is not the sort of name one forgets.  Does anybody have definitive evidence that the reports I remember are indeed false...definitive evidence that his name is "Joseph".  I feel as if it might have been reported "Guiseppe" in the PHISH BOOK (that coffee table-sized book from a few years back).  Any info?
:My understanding is that his given middle name is the Italian "Guiseppe", but on legal documents, he uses the Englishisation™ of it, Joseph. —bbatsell ¿? 20:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Trey's Middle Name

message: The Origin on the page says Fort Worth Texas. But didnt Phish start in Vermont, and arent all members from Vermont?
You guys are Idiots. He is from Vermont, not from Fort Worth Texas. Jesus H. Christ
:It is nit-picking, I guess. He was born in Fort Worth and moved to Princeton, NJ. If origin = birthplace, it should be Fort Worth. If origin = where musical ambitions started, that would be Princeton, NJ, since he was in many musical activities there. As for the Phish thing, that is about that specific band while this article is dealing exclusively with Trey. -- moe.RON Let's talk | done 05:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Biography 

message: Not a single mention of Trey growing up (at least some of the time) in the state of New Jersey?  There's a mention of a couple NJ schools he went to but nothing else.  There ought to be.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.90.65 (talk) 19:52, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Jersey 

message: Trey grew up in a small neighborhood not far from the Princeton Shopping Center in Princeton, NJ. He lived in a small development which, at the time it was built in 1957, it was one of the first integrated neghborhoods in the town and was specifically designed to be that way. Growing up, it was common to hear his parents playing records which were speeches of Martin Luther King, Jr. He attended public schools (first John Witherspoon, then later Community Park School) until middle school, at which point he began attending private schools. I recall him once commenting to me, as we caught up after a year or two in a local pizza place called Victor's (no longer there) that the other students were mean, spoiled rich kids who treated one another with great disrespect. "You'll be talking to someone you think is your friend and he'll think nothing of slamming the locker door shut and walking away" were his exact words. He lived in Princeton until the late 1970s, 1979 I believe, when his parents separated and sold the house they'd lived in up to that point.

thread_title:  Biography - 2000's - 2009 - Recentism 

message: While some people seem to seek out the articles on people who have had distasteful brushes with the law, we have to keep things in perspective, and remember that we are writing a biography here of a living person. Whatever is written about Trey's drug arrests should be done with some taste and balance; subsequent rehab and community service are positive things, yet over-mentioning these facts seems to only draw additional attention to the issue. I saw Keith Richards' name someplace on this page and have to wonder; if other editors were not so vigilant, his biography page would look like nothing but a drugology rather than the life story of a man who not only had brushes with the law and problems with substances, but also that of a creative composer of popular songs with staying power, guitar technique, and a huge fan base. Can not the same be said of Anastasio? Granted, he's only had half the time writing songs and performing as Richards! --Leahtwosaints (talk) 02:14, 7 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Remembering balance of POV AND ALSO topics that may sound negative

message: I noticed on the Trey Anastasio Band article, that there was a decision to merge the article with this one, but haven't seen any effort on that yet... is there someone here who is working on that?  I plan to place a couple of very recent and certainly better quality photos on his article, once I know where things will be. (That photo from 2003 in the infobox here is really poor, for example!) This isn't on my watchlist, so if anyone would like to discuss this further, please do contact my talk page. Thanks. --Leahtwosaints (talk) 07:19, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I have begun placing photos of better quality on the page, wikifying, and copyediting to a minor degree. Some people have been adding appearances by Anastasio here that do have references and I was able to match an image with them, but would like it if someone would please contact me on my talk page so perhaps we can make a merger and some progress on this article as painless and quick as possible.
