Nah The Beatles, Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse, but Ween is good. Some of it is ruined by their 12 year old style pee-pee poo-poo vajayjay style of humor.
That's kind of the whole point of Zappas music too (and Phish too!), so this comment by Dean will only piss off the people that don't understand. This ironically applies to people who actually don't listen to the music and people who don't listen to the music close enough but still want to defend Zappa and Phish to look musically literate because obviously they're some of the most innovative composers of the 20th century and anyone with ears or some musical training can tell you that This proves Deaners a musical genius, he cracked the code. The best music inspires you to go do stuff other than listening to music lol
he's just tired of saying yes....to that excessively asked question...it should be obvious if you listen, no need to even ask, if you know and listen you know. I would be sick of being asked, can't blame him.
Gener has never looked quite the same throughout each and every single year of the band and the clips that they're in. He truly is a shapeshifter. 2003 Gene looks nothing like current day Gene. And 1990 Gene looks nothing like 91 Gene. It's bizarre.
@@ffy0000 Consider that he _was_ an alcoholic, too. He doesn't look as unhealthy here as he did 2 years later, but by the shows in 2000,* he looked tired. Your liver's gotta clean your blood, and exhausting it ain't gonna help. It also doesn't help that a *lot* of American diets are bloody awful; devoid of many vitamins and minerals, and high in grease and overloaded with sugars. _I say that as a fellow Pennsylvanian._ With that said, forget McDonald's. *Edit: I mean the shows from June 2000, at earliest. I tried looking up concerts from earlier, and I couldn't get very good footage from May 2000, but he seemed OK in Mid May 2000?
Heard 'Ocean Man' for the first time a few evenings ago while rocking my way through some strange Web VR game in my Quest, and absolutely fell in love with it. 3 nights later and a few dozen Ween songs, some web-pages and this interview, and Ween is now my favorite band. I'm 42 years young and I absolutely cannot fathom how these guys slipped past my (rather eclectic) radar all these years!!!! Long Live The Boognish!!!
friends have been at me since the nineties to go and see them. i suppose it was a badge. saying i was cool enough on a ten strip to listen through that kind of heady early experience, i cannot. i could do the Pod highAF, but could not imagine all that energy at a Live Ween show. too many people. now with even a lesser hold on reality i'm kicking myself like few can imagine for still being a Ween virgin. I look at it now, at 44, that if i see the boys before their fucking 60th (both turned 50 this year 2020) i can die and join the Almighty Boognish up inside the great out of the wholly other. there is no comparison. period.
There's a few gems on every album, and some entirely epic albums. There's several characters/genres on display with the band, and I'd venture so say they are one of the most important acts of the last 30 years. Welcome.
These guys had legendary status in the Bergen (Norway) black metal scene in the late nineties early 2000.. Rumors was that they where some weird hermit brothers living in a caravan in the desert. I'm totally serious. Kinda funny that a lot of americans made similar crazy stories about the BM-scene.
I’ve listened to their music for years but just a handful of songs. Fell in love with Chocolate and Cheese about a month ago, and I’ve been getting lost in the brown and beautiful world that they inhabit, all I can say is Boognish really blessed these men and I’m blessed to hear their music.
@@Yankeefan2807 You can only think that in the most superficial way tho. Even a passing look at what Zappa did and how he did it shows he was anything but a snob who took himself too seriously. He acted the way he did because he didn’t like people very much, but all his choices in the end were about independence and perfection. Can’t really fault him that he was interested in demanding music. He never demanded to be appreciated. Quite the opposite in fact. Ween just didn’t like his style.

12 Golden Country Greats is a masterpiece of modern music. Blew my mind when I noticed the liner notes that read that the Jordanaires were the back up band. 10/10
@@ratbonestudios2622 that's what I meant backup vocals. I just remember thinking how surreal it was that folks who performed with Elvis were backing Ween.
I love 12 Golden Country Greats, The Mollusk, and Quebec. That’s my Ween trilogy. I like Chocolate and Cheese but there’s lots of silly stuff that’s meh. I even like Pure Guava and Birthday Boy from the first album. Haven’t heard The Pod in a while.
STL this year was my first ween concert! amazing saw them last week again in chicago! honestly want tickets for memphis festival, totally on board now!
I'm thinking this might be 1996. They're talking about their new record that is coming out the beginning of the year, which would be 1997 and The Mollusk, so that Phish show would have been The Clifford Ball in 1996 which was in Plattsburgh, NY just across Lake Champlain from Vermont.
The interviewer is literally wearing the business suit that Pam Grier bought at the end of Jackie Brown (which came out at the end of 1996)...that's hilarious!
Listen to them talk about the Nashville number system. It’s like a hidden treasure to happen upon this.. lol. I saw Ween perform the entirety of their Nashville album and then some AT the Ryman auditorium in Nashville Tn. I wore my special belt buckle for the occasion, and made sure to selfie with the statue of Bill Monroe outside of the music hall post show. Good times.
Mollosk came out in 97 I bought that and Radiohead OK Computer on Fuckin Tape together in the Summer of 97. Country album came out next year after so 98 sound's right. Or I'm from an alternate Universe.. Universe... universe....
COuntry album came out in 96, the mollusk came out in 97. They referred to the country record as the new album and never talked about the mollusk so it must be 96.
Nah, that's exactly my choice as well. I think Phish is boring, I love Zappa, but I've connected more with Ween than any of these bands/artists. I guess maybe I could say that about Zappa if I had come from that generation, but Ween was more close to where I was and what my best friends were into.
I think Tre Anastasio or however it's spelled is a very talented guitar player. I respect it but I cant get into hippie grateful deadish jamming....I've tried
To state the obvious, I see the questions being asked as the typical hot button, controversial things to ask them about, which is exactly what no-thinking, lowest common denominator journalism does. "Do you like Zappa? Phish?" "Who is (insert female's name)?" Think of how often people wanted to equate them with Zappa and Phish because people have to put them in a box they can understand. Picked out things in their lyrics to ask them about on camera. It must have been maddening. The authenticity of the fact they're performing this genre is being brought into question in Nashville prior to their performance. It's like the petty details are being sensationalized... and then they completely NAIL the music.
Lol this interviewer is TERRRRIBLE "So I heard you guys... stayed in the Shoney Inn..." "So I heard you were... into cooking... and... watching football..." "So you must have heard some... stories... at some point..."

7:09 I think they deflect Zappa questions to avoid drawing connections from their music to Frank’s. Weens early albums use very similar recording techniques to Zappa’s psyc/sound collage albums (We’re Only In It For The Money, Uncle Meat, etc) like sped-up/slowed down vocals, sexual/comedy lyrics, etc. Plus Aaron has even performed at a Frank Zappa day festival performing a mix of Frank and Ween songs so we know that Gener is at least a casual fan of Frank’s. Mickey hasn’t debunked the Zappa hate himself but some of his improvised solos are reminiscent of the improv on Zappa’s live records (Roxy & Elsewhere, Zappa In New York, etc.) I hear a Zappa lick every once in a while during live versions of Voodoo Lady, Reggaejunkiejew, Fluffy, and so on. Regardless, I’m humongous fans of both Ween and Zappa wish both can live in peace. Stay brown folks ☮️
Gener thinks he's just trying to sound like Howlin Wolf. He admitted that he didn't listen to much though and people with good taste tell him hes good.
He was rolling his eyes at the interviewer a bit, and shooed away the boom mic operator. I think this is consistent with his behavior in all other interviews. He's a bit uptight, especially compared to Dene, who goes with the flow pretty well.
The interviewer had no idea what their albums name was. She did a quick look at her notes for it. She was absolutely in orbit, man. Damn she was hard to watch shoot out these dead questions.
Like his music or don't... but Zappa was highly creative, profoundly original, socially aware, massively talented and the fact that he physically wrote his sheet music should be enough to gain anyone's respect.
they played it off legit
My mom bought me a cool shirt. When I wear it, I'm the shit.
These guys are my heroes. Ween is the greatest band of all time. Period. Not even close.
Nah The Beatles, Elliott Smith, Sparklehorse, but Ween is good. Some of it is ruined by their 12 year old style pee-pee poo-poo vajayjay style of humor.
