Scenes with Gene Ween at New Hope's God Save the Qweens

[@SipertaSnake]

Gene Ween. You are influence of my life. I am only 15 and have a whole new perspective on music. Rock on and never stop inspiring!

[@Alex-nf7gx]

If you see this comment I’m exactly where you were 9 years ago I’m 16 and ween is my biggest influence a huge part of my life

[@opaljk4835]

Now you’re old and in the way

[@SipertaSnake]

Alex Loved seeing this dude :) I’m 24 now and probably never would have remembered this comment if it wasn’t for you. Ween still holds a really special place in my heart ❤️ keep it up dude!

[@Alex-nf7gx]

SipertaSnake glad to hear you’re still listening to them!! I hope all is well in your life

[@GEOpz838]

Gene and Dean seem like great guys, and are one of the most criminally overlooked bands ever.

[@luminousbulb]

Glad to see that Aaron is healthy and happy! And that he still has the golden voice 2:59

Technically this video is from before the meltdown in Vancouver, but at least he's doing better now

[@dianarchy23]

I love New Hope, I love Ween, I love Birthday Boy. Thank you so much for sharing this.

[@fleshwarlord]

What a great guy. Sounds fantastic even when having a casual jam.

[@Maddoxland_90]

He's always happy.

[@chrisradstorgoff7715]

Great shoppe for Ween gear and everything that you won't find at the Fashion Bug Michelle is very sweet.

[@MattieCooper10000]

Gener~! You Rock~! We Love you in the SF Bay~!

[@dennisgraham9444]

Austin Texas !! Where's that confounded time machine!! I cant seem to get enough of Ween......

[@skullduggery3377]

gener....bigger than the beatles, jesus,...all them revolutionaries. i gotta get back up to that store to stock up on weener tees.

[@Mytholgylove]

I visited this shop today, the chick that owns the place is pretty chill.

[@scottyhanks9441]

Dear Gene, Please Continue to Rock My World!!!!!!!!

[@HevyDevy101]

He looks like he's retired from NASA

[@soko2407]

the best comment of all time,forever in my mind :-)

[@tostare]

He kinda has, if we can use space exploration as a metaphor for psychedelic drug use.

[@HevyDevy101]

@@soko2407 Hehe forgot about this

[@breakawaybooks4752]

He's went much higher than NASA ever did.

[@craziestboyever]

Funniest comment I’ve ever read

[@ThreePlyChord]

Cool store. I’ll have to come check it out. Only like a 10 hour drive...

[@DirtyFrankDahmer]

It’s a hippie community. I live nearby.

[@ffy0000]

They're literally just flirting the whole time

[@opaljk4835]

Yeah that guy filming is such a huge flirt with Gene

[@flybar3344]

This video is pure joy. Thank you

[@eriklarsen3183]

Now and Then changed my life as well!

[@Gammarklar]

What was it, a head shop? Also where was it located (like where specifically in New Hope)?

[@bananajello5709]

Ohey, I live here.

[@tripelbaby]

i love god saves the queens and mishel is AWSOME

[@tb7871]

First time I saw this video I was just getting acquainted with the band, but for whatever reason this quick little rendition of Birthday Boy ignited an obsession. There's something about their softer songs in particular that allows them to get under your skin and invade your life for awhile.

[@OnIoN4UrTrUbLeS]

Love ween!!!❤❤❤

[@mikeanglada742]

Still Waving It Free in the tree... Believe me. ;)

[@nicolasmrn]

Genius Ween

[@mrhunters]

"amassing tons of non ween songs maybe make a mellow acoustic record....." yes please

[@feastoffriendsamusicaltrib8581]

LOVE

[@robkalmbach]

Gener ~ you'll always be the Papa of New Hope and I hope there is never a new Papa of new hope. Lets meet on 33rd and third and third and third and third.

[@weaselsuit]

The Mollusk by Ween is possibly, the greatest prog rock classic ever. It's just a hair better than Rush's A Farewell to Kings.

[@DirtyFrankDahmer]

Speaking of all that, Ween in on stage with Primus, as we speak, who just played a Rush set on their last tour.

[@michaeldematteis3409]

I wish I had a cool shop like this where I live.i can't find a ween shirt to save my life.i tried on line even. Couldn't get one.lol

[@chrisradstorgoff7715]

Try Etsy.

[@Mytholgylove]

@frostedwinter Oh no, by no means does it suck. The shops there are eclectic as hell, the scenery on the bridge as well as the streets is beautiful, there's all kinds of art galleries, and the restaurants there are excellent, if you can afford them, that is. XD

[@hunyakaning]

yeah Gener!

[@timothygreen7988]

He is the American Paul

[@Fischtastic]

I love how this has no dislikes

[@JayReviews]

Awesome, I wish I lived in New Hope! Gener's looking like he lost some weight too!

[@membery782]

It's called age people. Get ready for it.

[@E.T.whisperer]

@Sincoola27 that amount of touring,, wow,, remeber he is now 42

[@ecolibrium1]

is gene ween the coolest or what

[@tonecot89]

I haven't been to New Hope since my grandparents moved away. I remember Now and Then, by the bridge, and Zipperhead. I think Now and Then is an ice cream store if I'm correct. What was the name of the awesome antique place on the corner of the busy intersection? I remember it was originally further up that street. Also is Superkind still there?

[@dianarchy23]

I know this is 6 years later, but I think that antique store got flooded out & it's no longer there. I don't think Superkind is there anymore, was it a headshop?

[@DirtyFrankDahmer]

Superkind has been gone for a long time. We always called it “Back In Blue”

[@mrrec0very956]

What became of the acoustic record at 1:15?

[@nicorion-m9j]

Is this store still open?

[@solidsnorky]

very nice

[@halyomorpha]

Wait...was it her that he wrote Birthday Boy for? It mentioned that in Baby Bitch. I dunno.

[@mickthetic]

MarmaladeJacket it can’t be..... I don’t think

[@xenophilip]

6 years late here but no she isn't. The girl from Birthday Boy/Baby Bitch moved to California and likely still lives there. The woman in the video is Punk Rock Michelle.

[@monkeyliver1986]

Hahaha this is awesome

[@BarclayMagoo]

Hey what state is this in?

[@RayzedUp]

Pennsylvania

[@kkadera]

The one dislike needs more brown in their life.

[@rorshakks]

Gene looks like Tommy Emmanuel.

[@Sincoola27]

how did he get so old so fast???

[@DeathOrGlory83]

eh his hair just turned gray, happens to a few ppl in their 20-30s, and maybe he gained a little wait, more genetics thatn subtances id say.

[@MrFatKat19]

What happened to Gener?!? His hairs gone lol. Good luck Aaron, wish it didn't have to be this way though. R.I.P. Ween
