Guitar Teacher REACTS: WEEN - Voodoo Lady [Live in Chicago HD, 2003]

[@RichMander1]

Deaner himself once said in an interview that all of his solos are either “Blue Sky” or “Maggot Brain”, and he’s waiting for somebody to call him on it.

[@nickmeyer1030]

His guitar is quite clearly covering his junk in this performance, so obviously he forgot that lesson. It needs to be above or below, never covering.

[@alexbowles9034]

@@nickmeyer1030However, notice that when he is getting really down and dirty the guitar is in fact below the dick.

[@joshfenn5374]

​@@nickmeyer1030 you are obviously not a ween fan; they copy stuff its their thing. Good artists borrow, Great artists steal.

[@nickmeyer1030]

@@joshfenn5374 I'm a huge Ween fan. I meant that as a compliment--at least they're honest about it.

[@DerBlutenPat1348]

need to give some recognition to Dave Dreiwitz holding down the low end. Masterful bass player. He’s also the bass player for Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, except when Ween is on tour which takes priority.

[@DuffDingle]

DOUBLE DIIIIIIIIIIP

[@GioBungle]

More Ween please, anytime, whenever… God I love Ween.

[@TheWingus]

I've been on a one man crusade encouraging Michael to just do the whole record. Buckingham Green, Johnny On The Spot, The Argus, Chocolate Town... so many tracks ripe for the picking

[@DRBdanimal]

"I Don't know how to describe it." The word you're looking for is "Brown" mane.

[@rangermike5571]

💯

[@toddkobylarz4758]

YES!!!! Been waiting for you to react to this. Deaner is one of the scariest guitarists ever. He got no props because Ween is not about props. Ween is the real deal.

[@Throplife]

Hes on the underrated Mt Rushmore

[@doktorfunk3621]

I love that this is, what...your third ween vid? You went from "some dudes told me to check this band out" to a point now where it's clear you've developed a huge appreciation for the band's musical talent.

[@ramfat]

Claude Coleman might be in the top 10 rock drummers of all time. The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree....his dad was amazingly talented as well.

[@jarodeddy859]

He plays the kit like it's an orchestra setup. I had the pleasure of meeting him once at a music festival. I was more star struck than the time I met Les Claypool. Claude was a really nice guy.

[@channingchills]

I’ve been singing the praises of Claude Coleman on music KZbin for years. It’s criminal how few people have no idea who he is.

[@doktorfunk3621]

Agreed. Especially considering he came back from a horrible accident and doctors questioning if he'd ever be able to have the coordination and dexterity to play again. The man worked his ass off to overcome the effects of brain damage, partial paralysis, and a crushed pelvis and never looked back. Plus, he's just a really swell duder.

[@doktorfunk3621]

@jarodeddy859 Also, I agree here. The man can coax a hell of a lot out of a relatively minimal/standard kit.

[@triton199]

i saw them on halloween in 2018 and i swear to god he did like a SEVEN MINUTE drum solo during voodoo lady, dude is a machine. still one of the best shows i've ever seen live bar none.

[@vlvtelvis]

Ween is what happens when a teenage punk band gets really good at their instruments and branches out into other genres without learning the stylistic "rules" most musicians take for granted.

[@thegreatbrard]

This isn't even remotely close to being accurate.

[@colenicholson96]

@@thegreatbrardnot trying to dunk on you, but why not? As a “classically trained” musician this definition hits home for me

They used to play to a DAT of deener playing drums when they 1st started.... there's a live vid from 1989 you can see them in the beginning

[@Bapuji42]

​@@SeamusPercy-tc3flhave you seen video of their first gig in high school? It was definitely punk rock

[@aaronamour6101]

Loved this song for a while now but never realized what an insane level of guitarist Dean really was/is. Holy shit.

[@Throwawayjim119]

His solo from That Man From The Flatland has been killing me lately. Dude is truly a god with a guitar in his hands

[@anarchiststateofmind341]

YES MORE WEEN. PERHAPS THE BEST LIVE BAND EVER!!!!

[@triton199]

man at this point you basically gotta react to the whole damn 2003 DVD, love your reactions to ween and i hope the next song of theirs you do is Buckingham green! as to not knowing how to describe it at 6:35, the word you're looking for is BROWN lol

[@AllTheCoolNamesAreTaken84]

Just saw Ween live for the first time the other night and they were amazing! They played this song and it was just as drawn out and killer as this version…they love to jam on this one!

[@antonego9581]

Dean ween the most underrated guitar player ever

[@davidhatred7275]

i love it when they go into that king crimson elephant talk bit. amazing!

[@3rdcoastnyucka]

Their best guitar song, and Dean has mentioned his favorite song to play live, is Roses Are Free. There’s an excellent live version from a festival on YT.

At 4:40.. WHAT WAS THAT??? That's the STALLION MANG!!!

[@TheWingus]

Dude just do the whole Live in Chicago record already

[@planr5572]

Ween is a long deep dive. funk freakouts like this, beautiful country music, next to gorgeous Philly soul, it goes on and on. Almost always catchy and if not, it still remains always interesting.

[@burningkarma]

"What was that?!" Pretty much my reaction the first time i heard Ween.

[@bobothehobo420]

Exactly. It took me quite a while to fully appreciate them, but the first time was "What in god's name..?"

[@hoggers7572]

When I was as Uni my roommate just smoked a thousand bongs and player the album version of this track on repeat all day...i still think it is eternal banger.. people in a million years would love it

[@timothyburns815]

I wondered why you stopped. You seemed to really enjoy them and you haven't even begun to scratch the surface. Once I was hooked I couldn't stay away. Going to see them for the first time next week in Scranton.

[@boredkid1235]

Assuming you haven't already, I big time recommend checking out their live in Chicago performance of I'll Be Your Jonny On The Spot

[@grategorbony]

First time I saw them live, already knew all their tunes by heart, but I was perhaps face-off & danced from 11p-2a to them + some guests on a clear, starry night, nonstop. Such an amazing band & stellar kind fellas!!

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

That was fun to watch and hear. thanks. Yes, Ween has consistently been very very special!

[@Therap1ssed]

More from Ween Live in Chicago please. They were on fire that tour.

[@yondie491]

MOAR WEEN?! HELL YES!!!!!!!! Buckles up for a hella-brown good time.

You could lose days watching live in Chicago. If we're blessed to see more ween from you this would be the set to take it from.

[@mdog86]

Every time I see Claude drumming I'm blown away by how much of a badass he is. Super underrated, he might be in my top 5 of favorite drummers of all time.

[@deadspread7717]

You should definitely do L.M.L.Y.P. by Ween! Their ode to Prince 🤎

[@rachelclifton3613]

I’ve been a Ween lover for sooo many years now. I’ve seen them countless times. I so enjoyed watching your face experience this…it was like showing someone the ocean for the first time. Great stuff.

[@gockit]

Just now catching up to this. Gentle note - Gene & Dean are WEEN. You're listening to the touring act. All of that is created by 2 insanely talented individuals.

[@PsychedelicCheeseburgers]

Ween was the first band I saw you react to, and I've been a regular watcher of your channel ever since. So glad to see you react to Ween again!

[@twintriode]

I just saw these guys last month and I'm ready to see them again.

[@StrategyInformer-sjgold]

So glad he gave a shoutout to Claude, I want to see some drum reactions to claude, he's such a unique drummer!

[@jjo.4717]

Awesome! But this isn't even scratching the enormous surface that is WEEN. B-sides, Demos, covers, rarities🤘 DEEP DIVE and worship BOOGNISH🖤 Love what your doing!

[@teedomeowgi7959]

You described it perfectly with the P-funk vibe. Deaner talks about how much of a major influence they they have always been.

[@southrules]

We got to hang out with David Byrne’s band a couple of years ago and the majority of his bands favorite band, at least at the time, was Ween which made me so happy because they were so smart and so accomplished and so talented. I love that you’re getting to experience weed and I hate that some people go through a whole lifetime without knowing they exist

[@jeremysilk6042]

Wow I had no idea. Ween and Talking Heads are in my top 5 bands of all time. I guess greatness respects greatness.

[@johnmcelhaney8490]

Love Ween! great choice. Classic one here. The solo on this live take is well quite extended, and to me really reminds me of the tension and release thing that make so many jam bands great. These guys studied country music just to make a country LB. They are beyond their time on many of their records.

Dean's intro is just an Am6 played like a D7 on the 5th fret without root (A-C-F#). Then he changes the F# between G, F#, and E.

[@michaelcorcoran8768]

They pretty much play this at every live show, it's a staple right up there with Buckingham Green, spinal meningitis. I've seen them live probably two dozen times and only time they didn't play this was when I saw them at this local fundraiser at the New Hope football field when they played a very short set... You can actually watch that. It was June 2020
