Benson Strangeland: How can Ween suck?

Dude rock n roll at it's wheatiest! Ween a smooth mix of coffee and milk!

Great song! Great album (C&C).

So what got you down?????

 

Oh Ok... well I'm for Ween!

 

Ween is quite possibly the most boring band I have ever seen live, which was made worse by the fact that the crowd was going nuts for them. Blech. I find that Ween is only enjoyed by those currently on drugs or those who have been on drugs in the past. They strike me as a novelty band for acid heads.

I usually like almost everything, and it takes a truly special band for me to actually say I hate them. Ween qualifies. So does Soul Coughing. Phish as well. I think that's about it, but there may be another I am forgetting about.

I'm sorry, I just think Ween sucks.

 

I like whole notes, too.

 

…or, maybe the brothers Ween are a couple of Coke-ed up burnouts who specialize in silly novelty songs and questionably executed trashy covers, and will never be more than B-list musicians who will never rise above the ranks of obscurity.

…or maybe they are genius.

…or maybe, music is subjective.

 

Yup, I've heard their studio work. I think it sucks too. Sorry.

*puts on crazy prog/industrial/metal/polka music in 23/17 with no discernable key signature and lyrics about unicorns*

 

I love Ween. I also like Soul Coughing (though they went downhill really fast). I've seen them live, I've had a good time, if you don't like Ween, you obvious don't get it....poor poor, misguided people. :scowl:

Oh Well, you're entitled to your opinion, even if it's wrong.

 

Soul Coughing: GREAT.

Ween: not a novelty act. but hey, whatever floats yer boat. Choice is awesome.

All I gotta say is:

"Where'd tha muthaf'n cheeze go??? I dunno"

 

So, my opinion - that I don't like Ween is wrong?
So, what you're saying is that I do like Ween? This makes no sense. You are wrong. I'm done with it.

 

i think the "wrong opinion" thing is kind of a joke.

 

generally, jokes will contain humor. These comments did not. Also, there was no "smilie" (sp?) to indicate that anyone was joking - actually, at least one of the posts contained an angry "spitting at me" smilie. At any rate, I've deleted my posts as this thread is not worth my time.

 

The Mollusk is a good CD, as is the country album. I love the solo on Buenas Tardas Amigo.

If you are a big Ween fan, you should get Live At Stubbs. 3 Nights, 3 Discs; the extended versions of Voodoo Lady and Bananas and Blow are awesome; as are the rest of the songs.

 

Ah yes, Bananas and Blow - what a great song! Ween is all about kick ass rock and roll.

I can't believe Stangeland lumped Phish in with Soul Coughing

Some people might not be aware that Phish has covered Ween's "Roses are Free" many, many times - and dare I say that they actually play it better than the guys that wrote it...
