A thread for all things brown.

I discovered the lads circa 1994, a bit after Chocolate and Cheese.

But I utterly wore out The Mollusk CD. I decided this was the band I'd be in or start, if I had any musical ability.

I saw them live just once, but it delivered. Including some ladies coming on stage during LMLYP and making out.

Also hoping by flowing some positive into the Ween-o-verse that they tour again and come around Texas.

Deaner was taking a break. No idea current status.

Favorite albums:

Mollusk
C&C
12 Golden Country Greats - Best country album that year, probably many other years as well
Pure Guava
GodWeenSatan

Songs

Too many.

So we'll pick the one that should have been

One of my top 5 bands. I’ve seen them 20 times since my first time at Liberty Lunch in 1997. I hope they are able to tour again in the next few years. The first reunion weekend in CO was pretty amazing.
My Ween highlight was HalloWEEN weekend in Denver a few years ago when they did 100 different songs over 3 nights.

first exposure to them was bonaroo 2002. have seen them many times since...several shows at stubb's, new orleans, dallas, flagstaff, red rocks. last time was at moody amphitheater a few years ago. have also seen both of them with their respective solo projects. haven't kept up with all the drama over the years but i know the vibe hasn't really been the same since gener got sober. hopefully they can tour again once deaner figures his shit out. bartender at falling rock tap house (RIP) comped my tab once after we talked about ween for 30 minutes.

I first saw them at ACLFest back in 2003.  When they played "Zoloft" I was hooked.

Then another time they played ACL Fest.  Only saw them live on their own outside a festival once after Cucaracha.  Hell of a show.

Probably my all time favorite tune of theirs.  I just belly laugh every time I hear it.

So many people with similar taste to me are super into Ween, but I've never quite gotten it at the same level.  Although "Piss Up a Rope" just cracks me up to no end.

I felt the same way back in college.  I was always "I need to check those guys out, even though they seem like a novelty act because of "Push the Little Daisies" on Beavis and Butthead, because so many people with similar taste to me dig them."  But I just didn't.  Literally was like "well, no one else I care about is playing this time slot, lets go check out Ween."  After seeing them once, it was like a lightbulb went off.  Dug them ever since.

wish the sound was better but i really like this acoustic show from 1994. there's someone sitting in on violin for a lot of the songs and the whole thing is really mellow and unlike any other ween show i've ever heard.

gene did 3 nights at the cactus cafe in 2010 that were pretty amazing.
