Fun fact: not sure this has already been said but the first caller “Punk Rock Michelle” is actually the same girl from the 2010 video/interview w Gene and her in New Hope, she runs the store God Save the Qweens which is basically Ween’s home headquarters, still there to this day. Funny that Gene said to hang up on her here considering their current friendship and they used to hook up back in the 80s
ween is an entity with the innocence of a child, the wisdom of a sage, and a 15 foot evil streak that will melt you to bone if you let it. thanks for the upload breh.
i'm sorry but "rock is dead now that i'm an adult that has to work and pay bills" is such a basic opinion. is rock the zeitgeist which we all continue to live under? no, obviously not...stuff changes, just like how we aren't commonly listening to jazz and ragtime on the radio anymore. that doesn't just make those genres dead though, if there's one thing the boys have taught me it's that creativity will always triumph when the inspiration hits just right...does it matter that you wrote a schmultzy showtune 90 years too late? no, not at all...good music is good music, stop paying attention to what the flavor of the week is according to some a s s h o l e that works for Billboard. it doesn't make you any cooler to plant your feet in the fertile ground of 1997 and say "yep, here's the precise moment where i draw the line -- and music is hereby dead after this random moment 25 years ago, i do declareth!"
bro it's about murdering a child slave after being rescued from a creepy pirate -- you aren't supposed to empathize with the character, hence the line "i loved you so long / since you were a child" like yeah it's sad if you're a pederast or a libertarian i guess
"Ladies and gentlemen: Ween."
Understatement of the evening
bastlake They're Ween.
What more to say? The performance speaks for itself

Hence, why he wanted her to be hung up on
I imagine it was planned, considering they knew each other. Especially since the phone calls were recorded earlier.
Hey is that you, Punk Rock Michelle?
goddamn they always kill it live with buckingham green
its the one they play the most
Gene playing a Fender, don't see that everyday....

and the smell of bleach
The Mollusk changed my life.
Everything’s been brown since then!
The Mollusk is a legendary album.
The last gasp for air, before rock&roll submerged forever .... Mickeys so baked
I don't remember writing this
Hahah to perfect dude 😂👌🏻
I was thinking I was the only one thinking that rock is dead after 1997 !!!

Pretty cool they had Elijah Wood playing bass here.
Best comment
They are just so fucking legit
Yeah they play it off
This interview turns 27 tomorrow, still a lovely evening with ween
it makes me so sad listening to She Wanted To Leave... its such a sad tale :'(
Always makes me sad too

probably the best live performance by ween ever.
I think so. Keep coming back to it
Personally I believe they are at their very best NOW
Do yourself a favor and watch any recent concert.
You're welcome
How does one not love these guys?
Bucks County Represent!
It's quite astonishing that a 8 years old video has just one dislike
I was not expecting a soprano sax version of Hendrixs' Hey Joe lol
I just love the Kabuki whiteface (against Claude in gorilla suit) esthetic in this.
The reason I love Ween is right here in this video. They definitely give a fuck but in the best way ever.
Geener is on a binder here no doubt
It’s always the drummer that goes all out on the costume
My drummer once dressed in a Breaking Bad style hazmat suit for a Halloween show.
Yo they did this on my birthday
It was meant to be
Deaner kabuki style is a plus
GOD. I. WISH. I. WAS. THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ween is fucking awesome.
0:06 Gotye is that you?
Whoa this rules. doofy host and all. the house band is so TIGHT! down w the brown BAYBAY
Epiphany.. The host is the good cop from the jail scene in There's Something about Mary isn't he??
All HAIL BOOGNISH
🎼 so go fetch a bottle / of rum dear friends / and fill up my glass to the rim / cause i’m not the man / i used to be / now i’m one of them 🎶
The Bass player should be a stunt double for Flea.
“Hang up on her” 😂
so, did they paint their faces white in this? they look so strange. i dont know if its the quality of the video or not
Painted faces for sure
Claude dressed up as the ocean man
HA Its PunkRock-Michelle! I wonder what she was "pissed," @ Gener for...
The wonderfully wierd world of ween
who's the MONSTER that gave this a thumbs down?????? lol
Mark Lone they obviously made a mistake and meant to hit the like button
Maybe someone hit the like button in Australia?
It must of been punk rock Michell
Bruh, is that Mean Ween/Cribber?
Vinny Edward Jansen no it was Dave. Deaner said it was one of his and Glenn’s first performance
I love ween. Its like one big inside joke we are all a part of. Brown as fuck.
Name a band with more powerful quads.
Ween Grey
whoa man the argus
ACID ROCK
Hey Joe!
+machine791 hey ! who are you?
Just a lover of Ween and public access cable
Lol, that lighting is god awful.
in this video the bass player reminds me of squeak "little bitch" squelari.
I think it's the mythical Mean Ween
Hang Up the busy signal!
CAN YOU TASTE THE BROWN ??????????????????
Woo so brown
oh my god is that cribber? it's cribber i think!
Where?

The way that bassist plays is very not brown.
