Trey's Road Recovery

Tight... So with what band and when is the tour?

Excellent news. Maybe this will be the end of the junk for trey. Those kids may have talked some sense into him.

I hope to see you soon Trey. And i agree pottad, i hope it is the end for the junk and the new begining of funk.

OK.....I'M STILL WATING FOR THE NEWS I NEED TO HEAR.

P.S....THE GIRL ON THE FAR RIGHT IS HOT!!!!

I think that rehab is a good idea for trey, and im glad hes doing it. i fully support him in his fight against kicking all those shitty pills and junk. just as long as he continues smoking grass and doin' psychedelics, i'll be happy.

Trey, I am glad your sober. NOW PLAY SOME MUSIC!! Give us some clues of when I can fly around the country to see you rip it. BTW, it wouldn't be the worst thing to leave that acoustic guitar in rehab!!

Right on, Trey! If only Jerry would have taken this step and stuck with it.

good news

yeah its all good for sure....

but china cat - "just as long as he keeps smoking grass and doin psych. YOU

will be happy?????? i think you may be missing the point here.

anyhow how cool would it be to sit and jam w/ trey like that..

i would school him...haha NOT!

What a narrowminded comment there ChinaCat.

Really, get with the program here.

It's sad that we glamorize Trey for overcomming his ego and selfish addictions. Its important for us to build a sense of community around positivity, love, and kyndness.

mhc10- get with what program? who here has been addicted to grass and lucy?? jeeez, lighten up

kizzy1- Everyone has an opinion to which artists you enjoy, as well as what substances YOU prefer for them to be on while creating such music. Its a simple opinion, and reasoning why I prefer more the adventurous sounds of The Mars Volta over any phish after 96. And thats just, like, my opinion man

red mule, even if he overcomes his junkiness i doubt he will ever get over the ego...

Story hardly hits glamorization RedMule, admiration (if that) for trying to kick habit and educate/inspire a few kids. "Love" and "positivity" and "community"? But wait, let's talk crap about people, sounds like Perez Hilton or some crap...

Good news. Very good news.

Good news indeed!

I'm still hoping for a Phish @ Big Cypress this NYE :-)...

trey's the man, with or without the drugs. hopefully he can draw lots of inspiration from sobriety, like john frusciante but funkier.

I hope he's cleaned up his act, but do you think that's all this is, an act? does he actually give a shit about this cause, or is he just doing what the Court system has asked, in order to stay out of jail? hate to be negative, but i think i read on Jambands.com about a week ago that Trey got ordered to prison for 2 days for some sort of violation, you think maybe him popping up this week might be some sort of coincidence? think about it.

good for trey! maybe i'm naive or maybe i just like to see the good in people but i think its awesome what he's doing. i think he's gonna get clean and phish is gonna get back together even if its just for a few shows:) fingers crossed...i know i'll be there!

Great Trey, glad to hear you are sober and helping other people to stay sober. Best wishes to you and the people of Road Recovery.

Now get the band back together.

Good point chidodger! It doesn't seem that strange to me that this gets some headlines in the light of his recent jailtime (I'm sure he has a publicist!)Who knows what (if any, that is) other kinds of comm. service he has done, I thought he was sentenced to perform up to 15 months way back in April. But yeah, whether or not he or any other public figure for that matter really gives a crap about fulfilling their obligation is really hard to tell. Good news though...

it would have been far out to be in that class

Big Cypress would be the shit. Night 1 opener: YEM into Rehab Jam.*

*With Ryan (Awesome) Aussem on accoustic guitar

Even if Trey doesn't really "give a shit" about this cause....Does it really matter? Even if he did "put an act on", he successfully inspired and touched out to several kids suffering from the same problems he's struggled with. At least he's taking the necessary steps to improve his image and get his life and career back on track. What headline would you rather see?? Trey get's popped again? Give the guy a damn break already...

Everyone above me except for gratefuled, rulosa, kizzy,mhc, jcohen, schofizzle, jesposito, phishluvr and welting are all asses, that's all I have to say, you people are funny, like a (JOKE)!

Trey much love and much respect, thanks.

oh yeah wilson o21 your cool!

Thanks for covering this story. Respek, Trey.

When does tour start again? My goo balls have been frozen since '04. Ready to thaw out & oil up that ol'leaky VeeDub!!!!

Did I say please please???!!!!!!?

right on, trey. i'm willing to jump on board with this and believe that it's not a p.r. move or a get-out-of-jail-free-gimmick.....just don't prove me wrong big red.

ps- as someone who spent some dark years in various "programs", i would have liked to hear a little more about road recovery

Hey Waterinthesky...Listen as I write to you, read the words that flutter through, my comments were mistaken by you. Closed minded and full of hate, you filtered out the true point I made, are you listening...dude? I'm clearly discussing (in response no less) the way the media is handling this, I could care less if Trey were high at this function (that would suck though), if you would have read my above comments you would see that you totally agree with every word I said. I think it's great he's doing this, and I hope he gets better for the sake of his health and for the possible future enjoyment of his fans...

Definitely some dime pieces on the far right. Hope Trey stays on his path.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm glad to see Trey in the headlines for something positive, like cleaning up, instead of an OD. Too many musicians have fallen to their addictions, so we don't need to add another one to the list. It sucks that Trey had to get busted in order to sober up, but I hope he pulls through and stays clean for himself. Go Big Red!

I hope he takes care of himself. lots of music left in Big Red! hopefully we'll get to enjoy some more of it soon!!

Man I cant wait for my first Phish tour! Trey is badass. For whatever reason the Shine album gets shit on on this site. But I think it's an amazing album. question: what's the best Phish studio album? I like Hoist the best.

Its pathetic that we need to have this covered on jambase and that we all still feel the need to comment.

It is always awesome to see that musicians as big as Trey would open up to some unknowing strangers like this to help each other in the enduring road to recovery. It is nice to see people promoting being clean. Everyone who has lost someone they love to an overdose realizes how great it is to see things like this on Jambase. I always hope that we all can know how to control ourselves and never lose it. Peace and love to everyone.

Can you see the light?the real road to recovery is to get back togethger with mike,john and page. bless up trey

"Addiction is so tricky and insidious and community is the cure. Road Recovery is all about community ... "

Much love Trey.

We miss you.

Way to set a good example for the new generation, Trey. Hope he gets on the road soon, Trey/Mike and Phil Tour was nice!

great news! congrats on being sober Trey! stick with it, it would be a shame to loose another great musician to drugs, you don't need drugs to enjoy or play great music.
