The story Dean told to Rolling Stone about being tossed out of Paisley Park was kinda funny, though. Between this, the Santana story, and the Ask Deaner archives (did anyone think to save these?), Deaner must have a ton more in his own vault. Dude needs to write a book.

On the topic of cool ween stories, did anyone else read the story about how Dean "accidentally" bought an incredibly rare vintage nylon string guitar. Only two from the first year of production are known to have survived. The only other copy known to exist is famously owned by Willie Nelson (which he nicknamed Trigger). Apparently can be worth over $100,000. The best part of the story is that he bought it in the late 90s, unaware of it's value. Used it extensively, and only became aware of its value when he brought it to the manufacturer for repair. quote:“I have a cool story, a really cool story. Until a certain period I never played steel stringed acoustic guitars, only classical, unless I was using one of Aaron’s on a recording. so Aaron and I are in Rockland, Maine writing “White Pepper” in 1999 and we take a day off to drive to Portland, where we encounter an incredible vintage guitar shop. He had his eye on a $3k Taylor and I wanted a 1969 Martin classical guitar, but it’s rough and very expensive–$3k as well actually. https://twitter.com/MartinGuitar/status/728236842118725635?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw

Bought tickets to Pabst in OR, gonna be driving down from BC and camping at odd locations on some of the adjacent days. Not sure if I'm using Ween as an excuse to go on an Oregon trip, or using an Oregon trip as an excuse to go see Ween.

Saturday my friends and I celebrate Weensday, where we eat an unfortunate amount of  and listen to Ween for 24 hours straight. It's a beautiful, earth-shattering, sludgy disgusting brown gauntlet of madness. Today coming home from work I passed a garage sale and sitting there on the lawn propped up against a table was an oil painting of Dean Ween doing one hell of a gnarly Deaner face. I ran up to the dude running it and pleaded with him please, I don't have any cash on me, could he please set that painting to the side so I could run off to hit an ATM and be back within the hour. Dude took one look at me, turned around and kicked the painting, bursting Dean's face open and stomped off. All I could do was burst out laughing.If you can make the effort I highly suggest trying Weensday out for yourself, but you're going to get into some truly upsetting territory once you wander into The Pod-era stuff.

I've never done a Weensday but I've been celebrating HalloWeen for the last couple years where I eat candy, listen to Ween, and shame anyone who doesn't do the same.

So 12 Golden Country Greats turned twenty years old today. That was the album where Ween lost me for a while. I still listened to the preceding albums but it took ten years for me to get into it, or anything else after its release. I was listening almost exclusively to electronic stuff in the mid-90's and there existed no desire, but rather a good deal of disdain for country music. I never even gave it a shot and I probably wouldn't have liked much of it anyway, despite it being Ween through and through. In my hindsight the live shows with the poo poo Creek Boys represent some of the band's best live material and I wish I could have seen it firsthand.

Harminoff posted:Lots of shows this week! Anyone else going to lockn? I missed the Boston show by about a week (was up there for a conference). My good friend went to the Philly show with his wife and they took their ten year old son to it for his first concert. Their son has been listening to Ween literally his entire life and he had an amazing time. They had a pretty good spot about thirty feet from the front row but some very wonderful fans in the crowd helped them make their way to the very front for a good spot for a little dude to see the show. Someone gave him a handmade Boognish necklace and someone else gave him a bunch of bootleg Ween stickers. I live in Virginia but timing won't allow me to make it to Lockn. Plus I'm getting old and the idea of a festival really doesn't appeal to me. I'm hoping the band starts playing some smaller club-like venues in the near future. I'd love to catch them at the 9:30 Club in DC or back at the Sonar in Baltimore where I saw them in 2007. me your dad fucked around with this message at 22:42 on Aug 24, 2016 |

Discombobulator posted:Oh man they closed with Fluffy? Was it ten minutes long like the poo poo Creek version? Here's a decent sounding 42-second clip of that end solo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8o8v6blUmjg The setlist was: Strap On That Jammy Pac She Wanted to Leave Buckingham Green Don't Sweat It Spinal Meningitis (Got Me Down) Transdermal Celebration Touch My Tooter The Stallion, Part 1 Object Roses Are Free Demon Sweat Don't Get 2 Close (2 My Fantasy) Mister Richard Smoker You hosed Up I Can't Put My Finger on It Never Squeal Fluffy Jammy Pac was a late addition scribbled at the top of the setlist. Squeal got a full Claude solo and he bongoed the poo poo out of those drums. That was my first Ween show after listening to them for a decade. I was initially worried that I was in for a predictable truncated set, but daaaang, they were gunning for Portland hard.

Yeah I think it's fair to say this is Ween at their best, everybody was loving killing it on stage. Actually had a run-in with them the night before the show. My GF and I had split from Duran Duran early to beat the rush, and got some tips on good bars from some local lady on the way out. Stopped for a bite and then headed to a titty bar the lady had suggested, and after we barely got situated in walks the band plus road crew sans Gene and sits down in front of us. I was a bit starstruck but GF has a talent for breaking the ice so we got to making as much small talk as you can make in a noisy strip joint. Mickey ordered us a round and everyone was super friendly and nice. Thanks random Portland lady!
