the pastry chef at a restaurant i used to work in would commute from new hope and claimed to know these guys back when. i drove him somewhere at some point and he told me an elaborate story about why he had a falling out with them, but conceded that they were an ingenious group. i think it had to do with this guy dating the sister of one of the guys from ween(?) i forget the specifics and even the generalities. but yeah. something to do with ween. happy sunday.

Every time I see a picture or video of these guys, I want to cast a biopic with Kevin Sussman as Gene and Ashton Kutcher as Dean.

Thanks to this thread's reemergence I'm listening to Live at the Cat's Cradle and wishing it was like 1994 again when I'm sitting in a driveway in a buddy's smogged out Ford Probe after a night of delivering pizzas (Mountain Dew bottles strewn across the floorboards), safe from the knowledge that everything after 2001 is gonna suck ass -- CUANDO CUANDO.

There's a bunch of stuff on YT. I'm having a hard time continuing to convince myself it wouldn't have been worth the drive from Georgia. I yelled OH COME ON more than once while reading these setlists.

I haven't started listening to these yet; someone on another forum claims they're "not bad."

i watched a ween concert DVD on amazon primeit was weird, well not actually "weird" but i guess i have a really old conception of ween and i didn't realize how they were such a "pro" like session dude type classic rock band vibe, like not quite a guitar mag vibe but close
i think i liked it?
― uptown garfunkel (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 16 February 2016 02:28 (eight years ago) link
also it occurred to me when they played it that "Dr. Rock" was probably like the entire inspiration for Tenacious D
"Buckingham Green" is a great fucking song tho

One of many concert moments seared into my neural circuitry was hearing for the first time a pre-Chocolate and Cheese song played as a band on their Chocolate and Cheese tour: it was "Big Jilm" and that whole "band sound," in contrast with the Pure Guava sound, which was like a glorified game of Simon, made me stand there with my jaw hanging open like a dental patient.
― Devilock, Tuesday, 16 February 2016 02:50 (eight years ago) link
xxxp yeah Dave Dreiwitz has a long chops-heavy history, played bass and trumpet in Tiny Lights for years before joining Ween

The drummer was like super duper almost like Bernie Purdie level
Still overall I find kinda spiritually vacant and mean w them, I could appreciate it but I could never get too close to that band

Does Dean Ween get any guitar mag love? He was really shredding Zappa style

They got a huge jam band audience from Phish covering Roses Are Free, but I don't think the classic guitar dude market ever cottoned on
(Deaner is one of only two chopsular guitarists I ever want to hear, so this is not an educated impression.)

I was at one of those gigs they used for Live in Chicago. I remember it being a good show but was sadly equally memorable for how obnoxious the audience was - they knew a taping was going on, and were acting accordingly.
