Ween discussion thread

[Marc]

No it's the half awake after 2 days of not much sleep while multitasking ramblings about weird shit in my life without going too deep into shit. Once again for obvious reasons.

Ah - Gotcha. No thanks.

 

[Lowlife Adventures]

they're basically the 90s zappa

Ween apparently didn't like Zappa.

Dean: “We didn’t go to Nashville to make fun of these old country legends,” Dean says. “We went there because we love that music and we wanted them to be part of it. We wouldn’t go down there to make fun of it. There are bands that are sarcastic and I don’t like it. I don’t like Frank Zappa for that one reason alone. A lot of times he’s making fun of this genre he’s playing — there’s no doubt that he loves it or whatever but it’s almost showoff-y. It’s not sincere enough for me.”

Gene: "When I was a kid I had influences like The Beatles, and not so much Frank Zappa but more Mothers of Invention stuff he did before he went solo."

 

[The Lawgiver]

No thanks.

I wasn't even offering anything!

Their live shows are amazing. Love how they don't use the same setlist. You could definitely see the divide in fanbase on what they like ween for.
I was the only one singing along to Mister Richard Smoker and Ocean man.

Favorite song: Booze me Up and Get me High

I love Ween but I really just can't get into any of the albums prior to Chocolate and Cheese, I've tried many times because I know sometimes a Ween album takes a while to grow on you. In my case La Cucaracha took a few listens before it really grew on me, I didn't like White Pepper at first because it sounded too 'poppy' but later grew to like it, but I just can't make The Pod, GWS or Pure Guava click for me. That probably makes me a fucking normie but still.

I have a really hard time picking out a favorite Ween album or ranking them but I think it's something like:

1. Quebec
2. The Mollusk
3. Shinola Vol. 1
4. 12 Golden Country Greats
5. La Cucaracha
6. Chocolate and Cheese
7. White Pepper

Seems to be the consensus that Quebec is Kino af.

I love Ween.

When I first heard Ween I thought they did the voice of Cartman due to that one song that was featured on Beavis and Butthead

I was young naive and stupid so I thought this was the duo riffing on South Park but these guys existed before South Park

 

[Nameless One]

I love Fantasy Jam. Would love to do a live cover of it someday with friends or my gf. It's quite amazing.

I also like the Pork Roll Egg & Cheese demo, been listening to God Ween Satan on repeat as well. The variety of the music is insane. It's honestly impressive that they influenced SpongeBob to the extent where the first movie (intended to be the finale) used Ocean Man as the credits music. Ween also seem very proud of it compared to other things they're associated with. Sorry if it's weird but it's hard for me to not mention the show since it got me and other kids into Ween from that silly Loop De Loop song. Such a gem of a band. I'm glad this timeline has been kind to Ween. Long live Boognish.

I finally decided to look into Ween after hearing the magnificent song that is Mourning Glory. What a song... about pumpkins, kids and the forest. This band has to have some of the best "band kid" humor ever.

I been wanting to see Ween Live but Deaner is doing mentally bad that shows are cancelled. I hope he is doing better.
