buzz osborne also talks about this but he talks about it like "you can play anything you want as long as it works in the context that you're setting for yourself, 100% of the time guaranteed"
“The guy who taught me guitar taught me one lesson... always play the guitar below your D1ck or above your D1ck like George Harrison, never ON your D1ck.” - Dean Ween, Guitar Moves interview ua-cam.com/video/fU9fTmTsssA/v-deo.html
I love the video. This guitarist is pretty well versed in music, and most of everything they do is intentional. You can find a song from ween that fits basically any genre of the last 70 years.
There's a word used to describe the 'mistakes' that Ween makes, its Brown... My understanding is that its based on vibe, and playing fully in the moment, you mess up, but move past it furiously. There's a Jimmy Page-Ness to it.
💯 and that’s why you’ll never hear Ween fans complain about missed notes or which version of Tear for Eddie was better, it’s literally all good in Chocolate town. I soured on Phish for this reason, there’s just too many self professed music critics in the crowd.
ViktorVaughn Every Dean ween solo, he says it in the Guitar Moves interview. I think he was just trying to downplay how good he actually is, his playing goes beyond that.
Saw Ween in 96-97ish. Played a show where Gene was blackout drunk on Tequila. Stopped the show 40 minutes in. Came back to the same club 6 months later and crushed it for over 3 hours straight. Crazy band. Give Ol’ Queen Cole a ride!
Chocolate and Cheese gets as much play time in my house as American Beauty, maybe even more. And I must say bassist Dave Dreiwitz has the two best gigs ever, playing for both Ween and JRAD.
WeatherBoy OGs been my UA-cam and Xbox handle for years now and you’re the first person to get the reference. Where do I send the autographed football 🏈
I was born listening to Ween. But I know no one who appreciates them the same way me and my old man do. Thanks for keeping them relevant and ALL HAIL THE BOOGNISH!
He also did buckingham green from live in Chicago in one of his live streams (my suggestion 😊) he live streams for four hours on Tuesdays (?) where he takes live requests from the comments section.
Good luck snagging Deener, Michael..!! Hope you can, coz I'd love to see that. No doubt you're aware that 'Tear for Eddie' is from 1994..!! Mickey Melchiondo is probably the greatest modern guitarist, and most people don't know about him.
I live about half an hour from New Hope, PA. I went to John and Peter's on a friends tip that Dean's jam band plays every Wednesday. I got to meet Dean and even sing with him for a Johnny Cash and Stones song. Now that was before I started playing guitar, they do take people who can play from the audience sometimes. Can't wait to go back and actually jam with him this time! Great dude inside and out.
I always get recommended your videos and never bite because most reaction videos on YT are cheesy and way over embellished but I've been on a Ween kick and thought I would give this one a shot. I am so glad I did you are a fantastic teacher, laying out the chord progression and explaining what Dean was playing was a great exercise and I will definitely be watching more of your videos. I was not expecting the great tips and analysis!
Ween is another one of those groups that you really need to listen to their entire catalog, or at least three albums, to fully understand. White Pepper is probably the best album to introduce a new person, but there’s a lot of crazy gems on their other stuff.
White Pepper is great but I would venture La Cucaracha because it is clean and has a flavor of all their talent. Shinola is my favorite to have someone who is interested just dig in.
@@TheEndangeredsouls the Pod I first saw them when they toured that album. Mind bending lowfi shows. It was just so weird I went from Jacksonville to Orlando to Tampa just to make sure what I had just heard was really what was supposed to be heard.
You wanna lose your mind and feel like you've switched dimensions...listen to 12 Golden Country Greats by Ween. The lyrics juxtaposed against solid old-school country foundations is just FUN!
Thank you for putting a spotlight on Ween. I’ve been using them as the soundtrack to my life for almost 25 years and always thought they never got the attention they deserve. You’re awesome, man.
I strongly recommend listening to more tracks from the Live In Chicago show. The recording quality is so great, and Ween songs take on such a different character when they're done live. The older recordings were very rough, it was the two of them only with a 4-track backing them. It's amazing to hear the live versions and go back to what they came from, realizing it's the same song at it's core, but just so much more fleshed out and full with the whole band backing them.
So glad you found your way back to Ween. I had to share your friend's description of them from your Transdermal Celebration video with a few friends. It was spot on! Thanks for running the giveaway! I am definitely GASing for my first hollow body and PRS right now.
Glad to see you walking down the ween catalogue! So many gems so little time! And now you know how committed the fans are too! Thnx for doing these fun even for a non guitar player! Praise boognish
It’s crazy how many amazing tunes they have that aren’t on their studio albums. I constantly listen to stuff like Things You Already Know, Ambrosia Parsley, The Rainbow, Ooh Vah La, Kim Smoltz and Booze Me Up and Get Me High. And I agree: Caesar is such an amazing collection of tracks!
This video completely goes against that line many of us know - 'No talking during a Tear for Eddie'... But this is simply a kickass review of a kickass song, so the Boognish forgives 🙌
Love your positivity and the natural feeling you have for music Michael. Especially great to see a first time look at a ween song. I'm a huge ween fan so it's a real buzz! More power to you
Deaner plays a wide variety of styles in his guitar work outs. Of course there’s heavy rock: Johnny on the Spot has the most wailing, breakneck improvised solo, Dr. Rock is supreme hard-rock majesty, Stroker Ace and It’s Gonna Be a Long Night (Motörhead rip) are rippers. Gabrielle is a rave-up Thin Lizzy rip-off. Epic progrock replete w scripted solos: Buckingham Green, The Golden Eel. Latin/Caribbean mock-rock- Voodoo Lady, Bananas and Blow (Buffet slag). Groovy up-tempo folk rock- Chocolate Town all have great scripted solos. Then there’s the pure weirdness of The Grobe, Happy Colored Marbles, Polka Dot Tail, etc. So many more but these are some of his signature concert moments.
He is a secret monster of a guitarist. I got into them decades ago and saw past the goof to the pure talent they have. What’s great is he finds a pocket and goes for it. Eric Clapton once said something to this effect on soloing, “It doesn’t matter if its not right, if it sounded good once, play it over and over again”! Another one from Eric Clapton was like, “If you mess up but repeat it, no one will think it was a mess up”. Hahahahahahahahaha so true
thanks for sticking with Ween! like i said the first time, i really have no clue about the technical "theory" side of their music (i guess i'm more of an "emotional resonance" guy), but it's so fun to see someone appreciate their music on this level!
Have only gotten into Ween recently and really digging them. Listening to Maggot Brain now and realizing that Tear For Eddie is basically Dean's version of Maggot Brain. Both are SO GOOD!
It's a wonderful rabbit hole that i fell down in the early 90s.. pre apocalypse we did a tribute a few times a year. Love this band. Broomfield changed my world
Dude I love your channel. The positive attitude and excitement for music and life in general is something I look forward to watching each time you post. Keep rocking my friend.
That’s a purdy guitar. I love that magic show you have on Netflix. I had only heard one Ween song that they play quite often on Sirius/XM on the Jam station. I finally decided to check them out on UA-cam and lo and behold here’s Palmisano giving a rundown. Now I’m going down the rabbit hole
Hey, I had a dream the other night where we talked about this video. Quite moving! I’m a long time ween fan and love this tune. Got an extra ticket to 10/30 and 10/31 for Ween in Denver. If you haven’t seen them in person, it’s next level. Let me know, Michael, if you want to come to Denver later this month.
Michael Palmisano Don’t neglect Eddie Hazel’s other amazing contributions to PFunk too!!! Maggot Brain is always talked about when he comes up and has been analyzed and gushed over endlessly by youtubers such as yourself, but I genuinely urge you to look into other Eddie songs like his INSANE rhythm guitar work (and the solo too) in The Goose by Parliament. It’s quieter and more understated but soooo smooth and beautiful and funky. Or his searing slide guitar solo in Vampy Funky Bernie from the Toys compilation. Or his cover of I Want You (She’s So Heavy) on Eddie’s solo album. That being said if you just do Maggot Brain that would still be pretty neat I suppose.
I saw Ween 17 times across 8 cities over 2021 and 2022 and it still wasn’t enough. They are at a late career peak. If it had sucked I would have stopped after the first three shows but each night I ask myself “how is this so much better than last night? How?”
keep up the good work - I came here (Transdermal Celebration video first) as a Ween fan trying to learn how to play Ween songs but found your comments on theory and the thought process behind the playing to be really insightful. Checking out Guitargate now. Keep up the good work! Oh, and just listening to the final second of the video - you just reached 100k subscribers in June and now over 200k?! Wow~ Keep rocking' bud! Killer!
Check out their live at stubbs album. Its a great intro tk the band. Also plenty or great quality sound bootlegs available for free on browntracker and archive.org. My favorites are 10/3/2003 vancouver 2017 sweetwater 420 fest 1997 zurich 1996 country sampler Rotten cheese
Hey !!! I think i gave you a link for this on the TRANSDERMAL CELEBRATION video !!! I love watching You react ...I've been a huge WEEN fan since they were the DYNAMIC DUO ... Seeing 2 dudes work a crowd like the do ..It was magical ... Do more FRANK ZAPPA too !
The pre chorus in "How can you mend a broken heart" by the Bee Gees is another great example of a dominant three chord. Didn't have a name for it before a saw this video so thank you very much for that!
I just stumbled across your videos and Wow. I haven't heard Ween in years. I stumbled across Ween in the early 90s and I just found their music to be sooo mellow. It's great music to drive to if you are on a long drive and by yourself or with Ween fans. I had no idea there was a pattern to the music. I just remember how it flows. Joe Satriani would be my all time favorite though. Surfing with the Alien and Always with me, Always with You are my most favorite songs after all these years.
Hey Micheal, I’m pretty new to your whole channel, but I’m in love with your content. You’ve done a couple of videos over one of my favorite artists, Tyler Childers, and both of your videos regarding him have been full of heart and emotion just like his music. If you are looking for more of his music to react to I very highly recommend feathered Indians which is my favorite song by him, or and I almost recommend this one more Follow you to Virgie which is one of his most emotional songs. If your just want to give it a listen, I recommend watching the video he did with red barn radio for Follow you to Virgie, he explains what the song is about and gives it one more layer of meaning and emotion that just leaves me stunned! Thank you so much for the wholesome and lovely content keep on putting your light into this world!
NO WAY! I love Eddie Hazel! At the studio I intern at my producer/boss showed me him cause you can hear a lot of Eddie in John Mayer(who I'm also a huge fan of) and that got me hooked on Eddie. Love the content!
I can dream that melody and every melody of Chocolate and Cheese. My favourite band for a long time when I was much younger than now - quite rare in the Netherlands i guess. Still have the shirts. Not too hard to play those licks, but oh so Boognish-brown indeed!
Back in 2013 I played a show at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ and as a 23 year old kid I shot Deaner an email as a shot in the dark to see if he would come watch my band at the time play. Long story short, I don’t think me made it (good thing cause I was pretty inebriated and would’ve made a fool of myself if I got to meet the man) BUT he replied and told me that, because of my last name, if I had family in a certain area of NJ that we would be cousins! How freakin cool is that!? So I did some digging and low and behold... we aren’t cousins. However! I still got that last name and in theory it had to come from somewhere down the long line of generations so I like to think there’s still a chance 😎🤙🏻. Great video man! Love Ween. Love the Boognish. And Deaner, if you’re seeing this, I’ll never forget that highlight of my young 20’s! Keep on rockin’ boys!
Dude I’m so glad you found that guitar moves video, Dean is one of a kind. I hope the collab pans out, I found you and subscribed because of that first Ween video. My recommendation is Buckingham Green, or anything really off The Mollusk album.
"If you're gonna miss, miss big." - Deaner
I do it daily
no hesitation if its wrong make it right
buzz osborne also talks about this but he talks about it like "you can play anything you want as long as it works in the context that you're setting for yourself, 100% of the time guaranteed"
13:47 And that good sir, is Brown.
@@drgonzo3020 hahaha
Deaner.... possibly the most underrated guitarist of our time. Ween, a true treasure
A genuine hidden gem.
Hall Boognish
Scott Murawski ?
Best shows I've ever been to.
Agreed.
I discovered Ween through your Transdermal Celebration video and now they’re one of my favorite bands!
That's what it's all about!!
Michael Palmisano Thanks again!! It would be awesome if you reviewed Chocolate Town from Live in Chicago. The solo is incredibly tasteful.
Well then, it's time for you to sit back and enjoy Live at Stubbs. Don't forget the encore! ua-cam.com/video/GZOkRhufCrA/v-deo.html
Monkstar1 is giving some great advice. Listen to Live at Stubbs. It's amazing.
I’d give anything to be in your shoes, discovering WEEN for the first time. Enjoy the ride!
“The guy who taught me guitar taught me one lesson... always play the guitar below your D1ck or above your D1ck like George Harrison, never ON your D1ck.” - Dean Ween, Guitar Moves interview ua-cam.com/video/fU9fTmTsssA/v-deo.html
The irony:
Dean is just like, “I dunno, I just play the right notes.”
Deaner is grossly underrated as a guitarist. Thanks for exposing Ween to a new audience
Buckingham Green is a must listen. The solo is the stuff of legend
played waaaay below the dick on the chicago live dvd, down at his damn ankles lol
SUMMON THE QUEEN!
@@LorenSwendsen spoke the child of eyes
Cat n the cradle being the brownest version.
find the public access cable set they did it is probably the best video
Dude ween is the greatest band ever
@@dques your choice if you're going to stop listening to a great band because they sell a face mask but sounds petty to me.
Fax
@@dqueswhy are you going on every ween related video posting the link of your worthless video none cares bro. So desperate for attention Haha
Hail Boognish
I love the video. This guitarist is pretty well versed in music, and most of everything they do is intentional. You can find a song from ween that fits basically any genre of the last 70 years.
Eddie Hazel was 42 when he died in 1992. #83 on Rolling Stones top 100 guitarists.
Oh. Thats who eddie is. Never knew!
There's a word used to describe the 'mistakes' that Ween makes, its Brown... My understanding is that its based on vibe, and playing fully in the moment, you mess up, but move past it furiously. There's a Jimmy Page-Ness to it.
Yup. I'm picking up on it. And I fully subscribe to it.
Its playing the wrong notes in the right way
💯 and that’s why you’ll never hear Ween fans complain about missed notes or which version of Tear for Eddie was better, it’s literally all good in Chocolate town.
I soured on Phish for this reason, there’s just too many self professed music critics in the crowd.
Also referred to as a “taster”
@@klingstuh I'm a fan of the "Frap"
A tear for Eddie is one of the most moving instrumentals I’ve ever come across.
Deaner said every solo is Dickey Betts or Maggot Brain.
Was that every Dean Ween solo? Or just literally every solo ever lol
ViktorVaughn Every Dean ween solo, he says it in the Guitar Moves interview. I think he was just trying to downplay how good he actually is, his playing goes beyond that.
@@cloudshad0ws He was just being humble, IMO. Dude's a class act. It was a cool interview.
blue sky.
Think they said Santana too
Saw Ween in 96-97ish. Played a show where Gene was blackout drunk on Tequila. Stopped the show 40 minutes in. Came back to the same club 6 months later and crushed it for over 3 hours straight. Crazy band. Give Ol’ Queen Cole a ride!
I love that you're getting into ween. Paint the town brown mang
Chocolate and Cheese gets as much play time in my house as American Beauty, maybe even more. And I must say bassist Dave Dreiwitz has the two best gigs ever, playing for both Ween and JRAD.
I'm thinking the same thing.
I am ridiculously jealous of DD's gigs but hes totally earned them.
Rodney Junior DD never stops smiling, that’s what I love about him.
moistboyz reference
WeatherBoy OGs been my UA-cam and Xbox handle for years now and you’re the first person to get the reference. Where do I send the autographed football 🏈
Ween is one of my all time favorite bands. It's very heartwarming to see them getting some attention from a youtube personality I admire.
I hope Deaner comes on the channel, I'd love to see those two nerd out for a bit.
I was born listening to Ween. But I know no one who appreciates them the same way me and my old man do. Thanks for keeping them relevant and ALL HAIL THE BOOGNISH!
We are legion
He's probably fishing. You can hire him for a charter an interview him then. Man loves to fish.
Les Claypool is into fishing himself. Aren’t he and Deaner pals?
@@crescentfreshbret yeah, there’s a video somewhere of him, les, and ler jamming.
Yes, they are great friends
Deaner is not only one the best guitarist of all time, but he might just also be one of the coolest and funniest dudes of all time !
Oh man, I love Ween so much. I was hoping to see some of their stuff on your channel. :)
this is the 2nd one. so look for the 1st one. Transdremal Celebration
He also did buckingham green from live in Chicago in one of his live streams (my suggestion 😊) he live streams for four hours on Tuesdays (?) where he takes live requests from the comments section.
Good luck snagging Deener, Michael..!! Hope you can, coz I'd love to see that. No doubt you're aware that 'Tear for Eddie' is from 1994..!! Mickey Melchiondo is probably the greatest modern guitarist, and most people don't know about him.
I live about half an hour from New Hope, PA. I went to John and Peter's on a friends tip that Dean's jam band plays every Wednesday. I got to meet Dean and even sing with him for a Johnny Cash and Stones song. Now that was before I started playing guitar, they do take people who can play from the audience sometimes. Can't wait to go back and actually jam with him this time! Great dude inside and out.

Ween is another one of those groups that you really need to listen to their entire catalog, or at least three albums, to fully understand. White Pepper is probably the best album to introduce a new person, but there’s a lot of crazy gems on their other stuff.
I would say go Choc n cheese, mollusk, and then pod
I agree with White Pepper as an album pick for introduction - that's my go to for luring in the skeptics.
White Pepper is great but I would venture La Cucaracha because it is clean and has a flavor of all their talent. Shinola is my favorite to have someone who is interested just dig in.
@@bryansnaylor La cucaracha was disappointing tbh
@@TheEndangeredsouls the Pod I first saw them when they toured that album. Mind bending lowfi shows. It was just so weird I went from Jacksonville to Orlando to Tampa just to make sure what I had just heard was really what was supposed to be heard.
Ween might be the most underrated band of all time while in the running for greatest band of all time. Truly a paradox.
Ween: Your favorite band's favorite band
I hope Dean gets back to you. He really is a pretty amazing player. Thank you for digging into Ween.
You wanna lose your mind and feel like you've switched dimensions...listen to 12 Golden Country Greats by Ween. The lyrics juxtaposed against solid old-school country foundations is just FUN!
“Writhing and squealing... puking”
@@Cliffdrane And I'm holding...something more precious than fine ore baby...I'm holding' you!
MY DINNER’S ON FIRE WHILE SHE WATCHES TV
Listen..... on the Porch.
It makes me so happy to watch someone become a ween fan. It makes me feel like I did when I discovered them
That smile... you see that smile a lot at Ween shows. New and old fans alike.
Thank you for putting a spotlight on Ween. I’ve been using them as the soundtrack to my life for almost 25 years and always thought they never got the attention they deserve. You’re awesome, man.
"The quality of the audio is a little off, here."
That's the best way to listen to Ween. It's another shade of brown
If I may be so bold as to speak on the behalf of the entire Ween community...
You're welcome.
Xoxo
I strongly recommend listening to more tracks from the Live In Chicago show. The recording quality is so great, and Ween songs take on such a different character when they're done live.

The best thing about ween is 10 years later I'm still finding new favorite songs from them. Caesar is near my favorite "album" now
It’s crazy how many amazing tunes they have that aren’t on their studio albums.
I constantly listen to stuff like Things You Already Know, Ambrosia Parsley, The Rainbow, Ooh Vah La, Kim Smoltz and Booze Me Up and Get Me High.
And I agree: Caesar is such an amazing collection of tracks!
WEEN crew checking in! Keep them coming. We roll deep. Hail Boognish
Also, Deaner is cool af and accessible to fans. I bet he'll come on here
I met that cat at a panic show years ago on the lawn in NC.
Ween is the greatest band to ever live. I don't care what anyone says.
Yoiu sir are correct. The correctest!
Yesssss glad you're digging ween. Boognish changed my life
This video completely goes against that line many of us know - 'No talking during a Tear for Eddie'... But this is simply a kickass review of a kickass song, so the Boognish forgives 🙌

Really is
He is a secret monster of a guitarist. I got into them decades ago and saw past the goof to the pure talent they have. What’s great is he finds a pocket and goes for it.

Ill be your Johnny on the spot from live in chicacgo has a solo that will melt your face.
Ween is too good. Their cover of All Of My Love is too good. I say do anything from the Live in Chicago
I saw their Kashmir encore at Red Rocks in 2017 (then two days later at the Ogden). Not my favorite Zep song, but they nailed it.
GWS Live is amazing
Have only gotten into Ween recently and really digging them. Listening to Maggot Brain now and realizing that Tear For Eddie is basically Dean's version of Maggot Brain. Both are SO GOOD!
Dude, your face when you're touched by the sound of brown, i felt that! Deep joy xx
Hey man! I just started watching your lessons, and I've also just been discovering ween, so this is doubly awesome! Thank you for what you do.
It's a wonderful rabbit hole that i fell down in the early 90s.. pre apocalypse we did a tribute a few times a year. Love this band. Broomfield changed my world
It's nice to see Ween get some props from a musician who doesn't know them well. These videos are super interesting.
I've been watching your videos for a while, even bought your course, and you have no idea how happy it makes me that you have become a Ween fanboy
Dude I love your channel. The positive attitude and excitement for music and life in general is something I look forward to watching each time you post. Keep rocking my friend.

When I saw this pop up on my feed I got super stoked. Thank you! This is my favorite Ween song.
Could you react to Maggot Brain by Funkadelic sometime? This video is EXCELLENT!
Oh yes. Oh yes.
Michael Palmisano OH YES please
YES! Preferably the version played by Nels Cline
Michael Palmisano Don’t neglect Eddie Hazel’s other amazing contributions to PFunk too!!!

That's right.
I practice this many times a day
There is a great live version of this from the 90s in their hometown at a bowling alley. Very low key whole album show.
Great video, dude. keep on doing this kind of stuff, bro. (I just started studying music theory lately, I find your contents very helpful.)
This is great, keep doing these Ween reacts!
Gotta dig that bit at about 18:55 where Deaner expertly displays how to solo with the guitar "down around your ankles."
Glad you did this video, Deaner said A Tear for Eddie is his personal favourite song out of their catalogue.
YES!!! do “Mister Would You Please Help My Pony” next please!!!
Yes! It's Deaners favorite
My buddy jimmy introduced me to ween and I'm forever grateful! I saw them live at bonnaroo in 2010, simply amazing.
I was there. I’ll never forget that show
Ok... Ween - I'll be look'in them up. Like it!

Ryan Mccarthy you’ll have fun. Dig this channel
The pre chorus in "How can you mend a broken heart" by the Bee Gees is another great example of a dominant three chord.
Didn't have a name for it before a saw this video so thank you very much for that!
You should check out the Argus from Quebec. I believe it"s their masterpiece.
I agree, random internet stranger I don't know in real life
I just stumbled across your videos and Wow. I haven't heard Ween in years. I stumbled across Ween in the early 90s and I just found their music to be sooo mellow. It's great music to drive to if you are on a long drive and by yourself or with Ween fans. I had no idea there was a pattern to the music. I just remember how it flows. Joe Satriani would be my all time favorite though. Surfing with the Alien and Always with me, Always with You are my most favorite songs after all these years.
I love how this kind of blew your mind. I play too.. welcome to brown town! I love how he's such a goof with his playing.
Been waiting for this one!!!
UA-cam needs to work on their algorithm; this was posted for a full day before I saw it. One of my favorite Ween tunes!
Mister Won't You Please Help My Pony will melt your mind
Hey Micheal, I’m pretty new to your whole channel, but I’m in love with your content. You’ve done a couple of videos over one of my favorite artists, Tyler Childers, and both of your videos regarding him have been full of heart and emotion just like his music. If you are looking for more of his music to react to I very highly recommend feathered Indians which is my favorite song by him, or and I almost recommend this one more Follow you to Virgie which is one of his most emotional songs. If your just want to give it a listen, I recommend watching the video he did with red barn radio for Follow you to Virgie, he explains what the song is about and gives it one more layer of meaning and emotion that just leaves me stunned! Thank you so much for the wholesome and lovely content keep on putting your light into this world!
Thanks my friend! So glad to have you
NO WAY! I love Eddie Hazel! At the studio I intern at my producer/boss showed me him cause you can hear a lot of Eddie in John Mayer(who I'm also a huge fan of) and that got me hooked on Eddie. Love the content!
Nice to see we have yet another ween fan in the making
Yes! Thank you for giving some attention to the magic of ween.
I can dream that melody and every melody of Chocolate and Cheese. My favourite band for a long time when I was much younger than now - quite rare in the Netherlands i guess. Still have the shirts. Not too hard to play those licks, but oh so Boognish-brown indeed!
One thing you will learn right quick is that the Ween fandom loves anyone who loves Ween.
best most underrated band FIGHT ME
Back in 2013 I played a show at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ and as a 23 year old kid I shot Deaner an email as a shot in the dark to see if he would come watch my band at the time play. Long story short, I don’t think me made it (good thing cause I was pretty inebriated and would’ve made a fool of myself if I got to meet the man) BUT he replied and told me that, because of my last name, if I had family in a certain area of NJ that we would be cousins! How freakin cool is that!? So I did some digging and low and behold... we aren’t cousins. However! I still got that last name and in theory it had to come from somewhere down the long line of generations so I like to think there’s still a chance 😎🤙🏻. Great video man! Love Ween. Love the Boognish. And Deaner, if you’re seeing this, I’ll never forget that highlight of my young 20’s! Keep on rockin’ boys!
I love ween, I grew up hanging out in New Hope, Ween shares the New Hope vibes with the world.
Thanks for ween
It's gonna be a long night is a banger
And let's not forget the drums in this song as well. Masterpiece
Eddie Hazel was 42 when he died in 1992...
Jimi Hendrix was 27
Dude I’m so glad you found that guitar moves video, Dean is one of a kind. I hope the collab pans out, I found you and subscribed because of that first Ween video. My recommendation is Buckingham Green, or anything really off The Mollusk album.
