When you said "he's playing completely free in whatever he wants to do" that's Ween's entire existence in a nutshell. Perfectly summed up. All that they have ever done is play completely free in whatever they wanted to do. And also The greatest live band I've ever seen. Do more ween. Your reactions are always priceless.
This guy absolutely gets it. I love how he understands the inherent weirdness humor but also the incredible musicianship of Ween. Love this channel, All Hail Boognish
Ween recorded 12 golden county greats In Nashville with local session musicians, Fluffy was one of only two songs where Dean plays guitar, the rest of the instrumentation is credited to the session musicians. They dubbed their backing band “the Shit Creek boys”
I saw an interview with dean ween and he said you have to have a bit of fuck you to the audience or something along those lines , and thats not coming from a nasty a place , i totally get it , ive played in a few bands and from day one ive had that attitude too and it helps , i totally related when i heard him say that , not giving a crap and a bit of fuck you kind of the same thing.
When I saw them live, this song blew my mind. I didn't know a ton of ween songs so it was all new to me. The build up of the solo was really magical. Only way I can describe it
Dean Ween is a monster. He'll get way more fucked up than you ever will but when he gets fucked up he plays fucking murderous guitar solos and all the rest of the songs.
One of my favorite ways to introduce Ween to people is what I call the Ween Genre Game. With a few caveats, like genres can't be instrument or lyrical specific... they give me a list of ten genres. I give them ten Ween songs. I've never failed to come up with a song whether it's folk or country or bluegrass or showtunes or jingle-jangle or salsa or rap or... well... you get the idea.
i was at this show and when that solo came in, it's was so electric. the high pitched tones in that tiny venue, my whole body was vibrating. what a great show.
those high pitched tones cost me a substantial part of hearing in my right ear from 1 or 2 too many times in front of Mickey's blonde twin Mesa cabinet at J&Ps! Most likely a Fluffy too!
Do more ween! There are tons of good ones! Get lost in it and let’s hear some more! I love your reaction to them! It’s like me hearing them for the first time except having all your musical book smarts. But please do more ween! Pick a tune any tune.
I stopped following the channel because it was taking WAAAAY too long. Was like a crack attic after Transdermal Celebration only to find.... nothng by ween, When was that a year ago?! He really should do at least one song per "genre"
I'll always tune it to see what Deaner is talking about. Fluffy is not your prototypical encore tune but it doesn't get more brown. Also the least Country of the songs on that album, great though it is. I think this song made the album based on subject matter.
12 Golden Country Greats refers to the 12 local Nashville musicians/legends they used on the album...just, fyi. Check out "So Long Jerry"...was a B-side that got left off of the album, about Jerry Garcia. Enjoy 🤎
Being they are not very well known there are primarily crowd cam footage of all there best stuff. What I have always loved about Ween is you listen to the album, then see them live and its like 2 completely different bands playing each others songs. There is no real entry point to Ween. you just jump in and root around till you find what grabs you by the boo boo and hold on for dear life. Been a fan for 20 years and while I have a very vast range of taste, Ween will always be #1.

I just realized how very Gilmore-esque Deaner's solo is.....I can't wait to go back through the Weenography and hear shit I wasn't aware of the last time.
Haha. The live versions of Fluffy are amazing. But that being said. I don't think you will get the vibe of 12 Golden Country Greats by listening to the live versions. It is a totally different beast.
You know what I love about deaner? Listen to the outtro of this song. 13:54 His guitar is not hiding one bit. He's got that fvckin thing GOOSED OUT. He channeled Jimmy page with those brown noises
I probably go back to this regularly and left comments, but I still think this solo is the greatest piece artwork to come out of my country. It's so incredibly soulful.
HIT THAT 2016 LOCK'N. TWO NIGHTS. It's here on UA-cam. They were opening for Phish and were really on their game. Epic performances include "Fluffy", "Nan", and "Boys Club" which is a VERY fun chord progression that would be great to unpack here. *Mickey doesn't use a bar because he has WHAMMY HANDS! 👐 🎸
Can't wait for you to do more ween. There's some absolute bangers out there: Voodoo Lady Woman & Man Did you see me Tried & True The Golden Eel Buenos Tardes Amigo King Billy Just so many damn awesome tunes.
As I'm sure others have said here, Ween does have some proper Country Western music playing with old school greats from Nashville. This was more a sample of Ween being "brown". They have a lot of weird relatively obscure songs that when played live have a life to their own much like Fluffy. This is a fairly obscure song and the studio version of this is so much shorter and simpler.
WEEN to me is like The Beatles that no one heard of, so many great tunes, I could go on and I will off the top off my head, Jopa Road, Buckingham Green, this song, Ocean Man, The Argus, Falling out, and my fave Transderamal Celebration.
Travelled from NE Scotland to London fer the "white pepper" and "la cucaracha" gigs. Only Pink Floyd 94 Earls Court tops those gigs fer me. They were that good. More Ween please. Gener does a monster solo on "i dont want it" live which brings a contented smile on Deaners face (think its the reunion gig)
I do this live a lot. Dissonance and slides into the finding the groove of something many can’t do, I have played many instruments over 3 decades including guitar and at times this is not a taught thing. You just hit it like Hendrix or your a technician
Did you notice he worked in that part from the Transdermal Celebration solo during this one @9:28? I love Fluffy... not really representative of 12GCG, but a sweet tune. I wonder what you made of "Mister Won't You Please Help My Pony?". Good stuff, man.
also, Transdermal, Tear for Eddie, Fluffy...these are great songs but, we need brown you out more. can we react to Pollo Asado, Woman and Man, I Play It Off Legit? for some real ween country, you should do Learnin To Love, Drifter in the Dark, or probably any other song from 12 country greats lol
Link the the original video, shot by the lovely Michelle… I got to stand next to her during this jaw droppingly beautiful performance. ua-cam.com/video/a4GDcCi7yxs/v-deo.html
would love to see you react to Courtney Barnett. Her entire Tiny Desk concert is phenomenal from both a guitar playing standpoint, as well as being a witty poet.
Fluffy, furry buddy, chewed his leg on the porch Why¹d you do it Fluffy - on the porch Good dog Fluffy, old friend, my pal Fluffy¹s got his buddy, on the porch Penny - she¹s my girlie, she sits here with me, on the porch Penny looks so pretty, on the porch Penny takes Fluffy -- for a walk -- out on the path Fluffy chases the other doggies -- on the path The pig says to Penny get Fluffy back on the porch So me and Fluffy and Penny are on the Porch
Hey Michael, if you have time you should take a look at Charlie Crockett. Pretty old school sound, but great on the strings. 9lb Hammer is a decent one of his.
Hey Michael, for the next livestream what do you think about doing a 1-4-5 night? Genres could be all over the place but i think it'd be cool to see just how versitle the 1-4-5 combination can be and how bands can take it and make it their own.

"As much time as he feels like taking is as much time as he takes." I feel the brownness of this statement.
When you said "he's playing completely free in whatever he wants to do" that's Ween's entire existence in a nutshell. Perfectly summed up. All that they have ever done is play completely free in whatever they wanted to do. And also The greatest live band I've ever seen. Do more ween. Your reactions are always priceless.
They're coming to Boston in September, it'll be my 6th. Insane live!
This guy absolutely gets it. I love how he understands the inherent weirdness humor but also the incredible musicianship of Ween. Love this channel, All Hail Boognish
All hail the boognish
Ween recorded 12 golden county greats In Nashville with local session musicians, Fluffy was one of only two songs where Dean plays guitar, the rest of the instrumentation is credited to the session musicians. They dubbed their backing band “the Shit Creek boys”
It was actually Gener who played the slide guitar solo on the album cut of Fluffy!
@@ChinoRdrgz holy shit
Shit Creek Boys were what they called the musicians who played on that tour...not the same guys from the album
💜
Ween- The youthful exuberance of not giving a crap... This guy finally gets it.
That's it!
100%
Also a very Gen X attitude toward the craps not given.
It's nice to see people truly get Ween.
I saw an interview with dean ween and he said you have to have a bit of fuck you to the audience or something along those lines , and thats not coming from a nasty a place , i totally get it , ive played in a few bands and from day one ive had that attitude too and it helps , i totally related when i heard him say that , not giving a crap and a bit of fuck you kind of the same thing.

The solo from Transdermal Celebration gives me chills.
Can never go wrong with Ween
the single greatest musical act of all time

Ween is my favorite band, and of all the fluffys...this is one of the best.
i was at this show and when that solo came in, it's was so electric. the high pitched tones in that tiny venue, my whole body was vibrating. what a great show.
Dude I bet!

Dean Ween is a tasty player. Thanks for doing this song. Ween has many many songs like this. This performance illustrates why people love this band.
I have waited so longggg for you to continue ween!
I stopped following the channel because it was taking WAAAAY too long. Was like a crack attic after Transdermal Celebration only to find.... nothng by ween, When was that a year ago?! He really should do at least one song per "genre"

Can't WAIT to see this guy at a Ween show after this pandemic. ♥️
Not really over but I saw them last Sunday. Quite incredible
Y’all still in the pandemic world. Gosh.
I love it when he gets a bit more technical, because he keeps the attitude of a dude that I know from a bar.
Dude we had a shot dog at 101 Wilson like 4 days ago.
@@Guitargate Cheers man.
I love Ween. Lucky to see them in the UK, they don't come over very often. They played for 3 hours and it was utterly brilliant. Remarkable live band.
Ween is the greatest band in the last 3-4 decades. One of the greatest of all time. People just don’t give them props because they’re goofy.
They're top 10 for me. Up there with the Floyd etc.
12 Golden Country Greats refers to the 12 local Nashville musicians/legends they used on the album...just, fyi.
Check out "So Long Jerry"...was a B-side that got left off of the album, about Jerry Garcia.
Enjoy
🤎
You are not alone we all love deaner.
Man that gave me chills like nothing else I’ve heard in past 2 months! Awesome!
Just saw Ween play this song live and MAN, when I didn't think it could get any heavier, they turn it up another notch. Mind blowing stuff literally
Fluffy reminds me of my old dog who passed away. I envision him soaring into heaven from earth.
I will always swing by for ween
Loved this! Still hoping for that interview with Deaner at some point! 🤞
Yeah! Whens deener getting off the fishing boat an coming on ur channel?
Great job, Michael! Ween rarely fails to put a smile on my face!
Thank you sir!
Proud to say I was at this show.
I completely envy you but also am so happy to share in your experience

Prince
Man, I CANNOT wait to see MP at a Ween show after this pandemic.
Wouldn't pick Fluffy, but he rolled with it.
Love the gritty dissonance of that filthy guitar sound!
this solo gets you on a journey. I love it and it truely made my day !
Haha. The live versions of Fluffy are amazing. But that being said. I don't think you will get the vibe of 12 Golden Country Greats by listening to the live versions. It is a totally different beast.
You know what I love about deaner? Listen to the outtro of this song. 13:54

I probably go back to this regularly and left comments, but I still think this solo is the greatest piece artwork to come out of my country. It's so incredibly soulful.
I don't know jack about playing guitar, but subbed after the last Ween video. Keep in brown.
Same here
And same goes for me
Listening to the same ween song on an album vs live is always an experience
Yeah stuff like tender situation, awesome sounds.... Barely even the same song
HIT THAT 2016 LOCK'N.
TWO NIGHTS. It's here on UA-cam. They were opening for Phish and were really on their game.
Epic performances include "Fluffy", "Nan", and "Boys Club" which is a VERY fun chord progression that would be great to unpack here.
*Mickey doesn't use a bar because he has WHAMMY HANDS! 👐 🎸
Can't wait for you to do more ween. There's some absolute bangers out there:
Voodoo Lady
Woman & Man
Did you see me
Tried & True
The Golden Eel
Buenos Tardes Amigo
King Billy
Just so many damn awesome tunes.
love ween...piss up a rope is one of my favorites...great thing bout Ween is that they are on their own timing which is arbitrary and i love that

Buckingham green by ween is a must when it comes to guitar solos
they blew my mind in Chillicothe last week, you're absolutely right! Live shows exude Youthful Freedom, and getting weird and wild unashamed!
That's Why Dean Ween is a Living Legend! \,,/ Long Live the WEEN!!! \,,/
Ween.... WOMAN AND MAN epic song!!
Yes working together.
@@Hartlor_Tayley I'm so glad I'm not the only one! Glad you know
@@danielmcbride2375 not the only by a long shot I’m sure. The more recent live versions of that song are mind melting.
@@Hartlor_Tayley I can only imagine. Album version is a level 12 sound cranker.
This was fun....your face was all over the place, so funny. Thanks for the Ween.
Not familiar with this Ween tune, but it sure had a healthy dose of Bob Seeger Mainstreet in it. Another fun one, thanks B Wear.
WEEN to me is like The Beatles that no one heard of, so many great tunes, I could go on and I will off the top off my head, Jopa Road, Buckingham Green, this song, Ocean Man, The Argus, Falling out, and my fave Transderamal Celebration.

Hells to the yeah. Isn't it ALWAYS time for more Ween?!
Thank you Michael. Country Greats is another gem.
It has a ton of mistakes but he owns it, it's like he's telling you to play along, no matter your level. This song is for us, as in everybody
Now you have experienced the Brown !
Fluffy is a fun tune, but I prefer "I'm holding You" off of this album. Very Willie Nelsonesque progression and solo.
The part where the fog machine is so heavy that Deaner practically disappears 😂 so very brown
this guy has beautiful eyes.... his guitar is pretty also.
I get stoked when I see Palmsie enjoying some Ween for the first time
Feel is everything
Ween. That's all I have to say. Ween. Ween. Ween.😍
You are a treasure, sir. Hats off to you.
I do this live a lot. Dissonance and slides into the finding the groove of something many can’t do, I have played many instruments over 3 decades including guitar and at times this is not a taught thing. You just hit it like Hendrix or your a technician
Of course it is
love ween
Well I sure needed it. Day now better than it was fer sure. 💕🙋💘🐩

I wonder what you made of "Mister Won't You Please Help My Pony?". Good stuff, man.
Really oughta listen to the whole country album they do a lot of different stuff on it
Was there the night prior to this. It was heat.
LISTEN TO MORE WEEN
Loved the video you did with Mary Spender. Fun times.
That is why I’ve seen Ween more times than any other band 😅
also, Transdermal, Tear for Eddie, Fluffy...these are great songs but, we need brown you out more.
can we react to Pollo Asado, Woman and Man, I Play It Off Legit?
for some real ween country, you should do Learnin To Love, Drifter in the Dark, or probably any other song from 12 country greats lol
check out eh God Ween Evan hour long ween episode with michael. he gets some frank...and 3 other tasty jams
@@WillNunziata nice, i had it open in a new tab! sounds good
"piss up a rope" is much more of a country song from that album.
Seems nuts gotta lovem
Do more ween.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!! Nice Pick!
Fucking Ween, man. 😭😍
Link the the original video, shot by the lovely Michelle… I got to stand next to her during this jaw droppingly beautiful performance. ua-cam.com/video/a4GDcCi7yxs/v-deo.html
Let’s goooooo!!!
The Fluffy in DC at the 9:30 club is a much better live version.
Love me some Ween, and the 12 Golden Country Greats album - which only has 11 tracks. But, Fluffy is the least "country" track on that album.
10 tracks. ;)
@@WillNunziata Ha! You’re right. I was going from memory.
would love to see you react to Courtney Barnett. Her entire Tiny Desk concert is phenomenal from both a guitar playing standpoint, as well as being a witty poet.
Super video! I applauded for $2.00 👏
Muse - king of cydonia live at rome ...... your welcome, also thank you for turning me into a diehard ween fan sir.
Fluffy, furry buddy, chewed his leg on the porch
Why¹d you do it Fluffy - on the porch
Good dog Fluffy, old friend, my pal
Fluffy¹s got his buddy, on the porch
Penny - she¹s my girlie, she sits here with me, on the porch
Penny looks so pretty, on the porch
Penny takes Fluffy -- for a walk -- out on the path
Fluffy chases the other doggies -- on the path
The pig says to Penny get Fluffy back on the porch
So me and Fluffy and Penny are on the Porch
GREAT album...
I don't mean to be a curmudgeon. I saw Ween four times and they were always amazing
You have to react to Nick Shoulders, he's like a Hank Williams senior
PLEASE.
Greatest , like Prince.
More ween please
You "Get" Dean Ween right 0ff the bat.
Hey Michael, if you have time you should take a look at Charlie Crockett. Pretty old school sound, but great on the strings. 9lb Hammer is a decent one of his.
You should check out his interview with Noisey.
do more ween!
Hey Michael, for the next livestream what do you think about doing a 1-4-5 night? Genres could be all over the place but i think it'd be cool to see just how versitle the 1-4-5 combination can be and how bands can take it and make it their own.
"We have a lot going on here." T-shirt please.
TRUTH
The intro to that song is kind of like a poor man’s version of February stars by the foo fighters
Maybe not so lean anymore but they're certainly still mean, and they're still WEEN
