Anybody here like the band Ween?
I don't run into a lot of ppl who have heard of them, and most of the time those I do run into that have heard of them hate them with a passion.

I personally think they're great in a bizarre sort of way.

Favorite album: The Mollusk

2. It's really hard to classify
They have dabbled in a wide range of styles, even have made a "country" album, but I think for simplicity I will state that they are a "rock" band.

I think some of their stuff is good.

Have you heard the commercial jingle they submitted to Pizza Hut, and the "R-rated" version recorded after it was rejected? Funny stuff!

9. It's a little tune called "Where'd The Cheese Go?"
My friend downloaded from somewhere, so I'm sure it's available.

5. I've seen them live!
Their album "Pod" is a must-have IMO. I haven't heard "The Mollusk".

Some of their other stuff is just a little too ... uh ... I can't put my finger on it ...

7. How are they live?
I've been thinking of seeing them in August when they come to Portland, Maine. I've heard they're pretty good, but haven't heard a lot of them...

11. ween is neato
what is funny is i was talking with my girlfriennd the other night and she was asking me if i wanted to go see one of her friend's boyfriend's band. When i asked what kind of music it was she said that her friend told her they sound like ween. I laughed. what the hell does ween sound like? they don't have a sound, their sound is sounding like other types of music.

12. They need better booking ...
The only times I heard of them is the "Loop Dee Loop Song" on SpongeBob Sqaurepants and an appearance in "It's Pat", the movie.

14. I once listened to "Flies on my Dick"
and a couple other tracks and all I can say is...I want the drugs they're taking. But maybe not quite so much.

17. My dinner's on fire while she watches TV...
and if you ever wondered what it's like to be me,
she takes all my money and leaves me no smokes,
yells at my buddies and insults my folks,
I'm breaking my back doing the best that I can,
she's got time for the dog but none for her man,
Now I'm no dope, but I've lost all hope,
so hit the fucking road and piss up a rope.


Ween, "piss up a rope"


GREAT STUFF!!!
