I can\'t believe I missed this entire thread. ween ownz faces like non-other.
Favorite tune off each album: Quebec-- Chocolate Town The Mollusk-- Mutilated Lips (Pink Eye is a close second for personal reasons) White Pepper-- Back to Basom Shinola-- Transitions 12 Golden-- Richard Smoker Chocolate-- Pony/Don\'t **** where you eat GodWSatan-- Nan Cucaracha-- My Own Bare Hands/Blue Balloon Pod-- Awesome Sound (better on paintin\' the town brown) Guava-- like a 10 way tie Friends EP - Hammer Down Live in Chicago - Johnny on the Spot Paintin the Town Brown - Marble Tulip
If you are just getting into Ween check out Quebec, White Pepper, Live in Chicago, La Cucaracha. They are much easier to get into in reverse order, their older material is not as digestable. Personally I think Paintin\' the Town Brown probably gets the most rotation on my stereo. All request live is also worth checkin out. They have a few quality brown shows on Archive, even one with the **** Creek Boys worth checkin out. I got a dude on Ween forum to mail me a bunch of live dvds a month ago and have been in brown heaven since.

That jam kills. My on-the-fence-Ween-fan friends couldn\'t handle it. They just have no ear for jamming. Their lose really.
I personally like the piano intro on Even If You Don\'t from Live in Chicago. Not saying it\'s my favorite on the album cause that\'s too hard for me to pick.

This is great. I\'ve never been agreed with so "passionately" when trying to describe my take on some music. Usually a lost cause. I actually feel kind of strange now. Like I\'ve been caught dancing naked on the kitchen counter singing to a wooden spoon full of gravy.
I\'m already questioning some of my picks of last night for top tunes on each album. That\'s why they\'re so damn good. This thread has put me on a Ween kick again. I can\'t wait to get home from school and pump something Moist.

ok, this was **** hard, BUT
white pepper is a 3 way tie: exactly where I\'m at flutes of the chi and one of the best ending to an album ever made: stay forever/falling out/ she\'s your baby wait, I guess that\'s a six way tie. who cares. fine. f you. that\'s the best I can do with this album, and it was REALLY hard to cut ice castles, pandy fackler, the grobe and stroker ace off that list.
flutes is the song that always gets me at first thought, but the others are SOOOO good! The funny thing is everyones favorite song it seems, bananas and blow, is the one track I\'ll skip over. *meh*

That said, damn princess, get out of my head! Don\'t know if I have shinola. La cuccaracha I have to go with papa and call for your party. White pepper I think the whole album is so good I don\'t know if I could pick one song. need to listen again. On 12 great country mucus is #1 unless I\'m in a "**** you all I feel like belting out silly lyrics" mood, and then it\'s **** up a rope. Otherwise, you\'re list is spot on! :thumbsup:
aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh all this discussion I just want to listen to ween all day now and I\'m stuck at work. screw this, I\'m going out to the car to get my ipod.

Actually since it was mentioned yesterday, I can\'t stop listening to it again! :lol:
I fuckin love that tune also. one of my favorite ween songs. heres a little sumthin about the video:
Quote
Video created by Adam Phillips, who formerly worked for Disney explains:
In 2003 I created a music video for Ween. The song was ?Transdermal Celebration? from the album Quebec.had bought the album and listened through a few times.. I?d been a Ween fan proper for a few years by that stage, but listening to the new songs prompted me to check out their website for the first time.
There I saw a notice to fans saying ?Transdermal video, looking for ideas?. The third track on the CD ?Transdermal Celebration? was one of the songs that I really liked, so I emailed Ween?s manager right away with some sketches and a short synopsis.
He replied saying that unfortunately Ween had decided to go with a live video for the song, because they were about to go on a tour. I was gutted.. so after some thought I emailed back, saying that I would do the video free of charge, for the experience of it.
They gave me their blessing to go ahead, I got an email from Aaron Freeman (Gene Ween) with some explanation of the lyrics. Sadly the email was later lost in a hard-drive crash, but I?ll always remember his opening line:
?Hi Adam it?s Aaron, it?s 3am I?m **** up in Jersey City..?
So I got to work right away. At the time (October 2003) I was still working full-time for Disney.. I asked the studio manager for a month off so that I could do this music video. We were smack in the middle of crunchtime on ?Return to Neverland?, so I knew I?d be very lucky to get as much as two days off. To be allowed any time off during crunchtime was unheard of, so unfortunately I had to threaten resignation (actually that?s something I?d never told anyone until now).
After a bit of negotiating I managed to get two weeks. Since landing my job at Disney, I saw this as the biggest opportunity life had thrown at me, so it was something I had to do.
I worked for around 12 - 14 hours each day on the clip and at the end of the two weeks I delivered it to Ween. I got another email from Aaron telling me how much he loved it, and how it captured the song perfectly. He told me it?d be the official video and that they wanted to pay me for it.
I rate that two weeks (and the month that followed) as the best working experience of my life to date. The video became a special feature on Ween?s ?Live in Chicago? DVD.
These days I look at it and wish I?d had more time to fine-tune, but there?s not much about the actual working experience that I?d change. Thanks Ween
Posted by Musical Stew Daily
here\'s some **** about the new release:
Quote
Ween will dip into the archives for its next release. At the Cat?s Cradle, 1992 captures Ween in Carborro, NC on December 9, 1992, when the group was solely comprised of Dean and Gene (along with some samples, tapes and a drum machine). In addition to the full show from that night, the set also boasts a DVD featuring live footage culled from a 1991 Halloween performance, a 1992 Trenton, NJ radio session and a 1992 stop in Columbus, OH
Liner Notes:
From our first ?real?? concert in 1987 until the release of Chocolate and Cheese in 1994 we played concerts as a duo?Aaron on vocals and acoustic guitar and me on electric guitar with the bass and drums played from a cassette deck, Later on we purchased a DAT machine for the backing tracks and this speeded up our show a little. A typical Ween set was no more than an hour long, and we?d play about 24 songs in that amount of time. There was no jamming at all whatsoever. Things are a lot different now. Every night we had to face the crowd pretty much naked, there was nowhere to hide, no room for an off night. We did a lot of talking to the crowd and one another between songs, we pretty much had to. We faced a lot of hostile audiences when we were the opening act on a show. There was a lot to hate about us but we won over a lot of people in the process because of our sheer nerve.
A lot of our closest friends feel that Ween live pretty much ended when we switched to a traditional band format with a bass player and drummer; I dunno about that but by the release of Pure Guava our show was no longer interesting to us. We were doing a lot more touring and playing the same songs with no room for improvising had gotten boring for us. Once we started releasing records and touring more as a duo we got a lot better at it, we stopped caring about what the audience thought of us and just focused on having fun onstage. This was when we maximized our brownness. I don?t remember too much about this concert other than the fact that we played the Cat?s Cradle a lot of times and in a few different locations. Public Enemy had played the club a few nights before and blown up the P.A. and our sound man Kirk Miller was pissed. I thought it was great because Public Enemy are one of my favorite bands of all time and I was just happy to be playing on the same stage. Our touring party consisted of Me, Aaron, and Kirk Miller, our soundman and driver. Once we signed to Elektra we added a tour manager, Paul Monahan, who would stay with us for many years. Anyway, this is pretty typical of what we sounded like on a good night those first few tours

Yeah if you\'re trying to get someone into ween, don\'t play GodWeenSatan right away. They may lose some respect for you if you do. Once they are accustomed to the ways of ween, then they\'ll understand.
However, I do like to play "You **** Up" at a bar where everyone is lame... right as I leave. I also manage to ask the bartender to turn it up right before that song comes on. I can only imagine the horrific looks on peoples faces. Good times.
I know so many people that think Ween IS a country band for as much as **** Up A Rope got played on the Jukebox after I played it for the first time. Now I ask people if they like Ween. They say they do, and then I play "I\'ll Be Dancing In the Show Tonight" followed up by "LMLYP". Good times.

that was 100% for me. Elisa\'s mix was what put me over the edge, because they\'re so diverse within each album, getting a cross section of all discs like that was crucial to my downfall.
That said, I wouldn\'t put quebec #2. Flame on, I know it\'s because I got them later, but Quebec and la cuccaracha are average for me. White pepper and mollusk are the two required discs imo, followed by 12 great country and then chocolate/cheese.
12 great country 3rd only because not everyone is into country and it\'s so different from everything else, although it\'s really a 3 way tie.

i\'d start with white pepper and chocolate and cheese, then move to the mollusk. the tough thing about ween is you have to hear a lot of them to really understand them, and kinda get what they\'re all about.... what i love about them is there incredible song-writing and ability to nail every style and type of genre.

don\'t start with live stuff. go with the albums...in this order:
1. chocolate and cheese 2. quebec 3. white pepper 4. 12 golden country greats
if you don\'t like the first half of chocolate and cheese, then just stop listening and don\'t waste your time with this band
I\'d say start with Quebec. Easier to digest and EPIC. I agree w/the others, and The Mollusk is a must.

yoda, yo\'re best bet is to go to a show, imo. i wans\'t really big on ween until i did, and ever since then they are one of my favorite bands
I come from the same camp. Thought I overpaid for a ticket outside of a soldout Aragon... worth every **** penny.

that was direct from their site, all I did was repost it.
the live in chicago cd/dvd is incredible. I highly recommend it. Also if you can find a copy, the live in montreal show is the ****. Funny I know two people who have it, both of whom said they\'d make me a copy...
