Ween - A Tear For Eddie (Live at Stubb's)

[@toddkobylarz7863]

Im 53 and got a late start on Ween. Its your duty to keep this stuff alive. Pass Ween along to as many younger people as you can. They were one of the greatest bands of all time. No argument.

[@Shendimomber777]

I’m 15 and i put a lot of my friends onto ween, they are very underrated 😎

[@delilh325]

26 years old here, I like to think I'm still young

[@Tny.MorelsFungiNature]

Im 31. I feel i got a late start on ween in 96. , now i got 2 kids, 10 and 11. Ween is now their favorite band. They are already well on their way. Boognish will see them through their life long journey of ween. Ive barley tipped the iceberg on showing them weens stuff My sons son's favorite so far is waving my di%k in the wind. Lol. As they get older they will appreciate these instrumentals as much as we do. I show this band to every person that will listen. LONG LIVE WEEN

[@Tny.MorelsFungiNature]

@@Shendimomber777 keep recruiting more. Lol. Your an ambassador for ween. Turn every teen you know into a ween aloholic. Lmoa the world needs more people your age getting down to these guys than most this new age music that just. I cant explain it. But when you love ween the way most ween fans do. Not much else sounds good to the ears. N when you've seen them live. BOOM!!!! Your engulfed in magic and nothing can compare to a live ween show in my mind anyway.

[@LGguedo]

Ween is life

[@gabehunter1502]

I was introduced to this song by a friend back when I carried around a sweet breath bottle of lsd,I made the news in my town with those(they never knew it was me, just warned people about the sweetbreath, then I changed up to sugar cubes) . When I bought my first sheet ther was a drive by shooting into the house I was buying the sheet in. The guy I got it from had a bodyguard, they went on the run years ago. But back to that night, was the first time I heard this song, meant so much to me, still does. Life is crazy, I wouldn't mind some of that liquid tonight, but then I might not come back after all I've taken. Things so simple become so complex, while the things that are so complex become so simple. Have you ever seen the rain?

[@alejandrochavez821]

Thank you for sharing your memory. Life is indeed a wild ride

[@PunchHisFace]

I had some sweet breath. A lot of it actually. I seen my homey main line it.

You too !!!!!

[@thomastucker6506]

Yeah I didn't do that at first till I played it! On my guitar with my bro on rythm and I blew my load pretty much it's stuck in my head. More than samba pa TI ever was weird ! Eddie and Carlos woulda been badass

[@reservoirquarantine]

These boys are my heroes. I literally believe they are the two most creative, uninhibited musicians I have ever heard.

[@brandirichardson9833]

I agree 💯

[@Laneganswake]

Uninhibited, that's the word I was looking for and that's exactly what they are in spades. To go out there and do what they do is as punk rock as it gets. That's why Henry Rollins admires them

[@Dave-jy4wi]

When the band recorded this song they were told to first play as if they had just heard that Eddie was alive still, and then play as if they had found out that was actually dead.

[@markyyyyyyyy321]

Out of all the comments.. yours stood out and it's only a day old! Is this true what you're saying and how do you know? Cheers, from England

[@Nickenthechiken]

@@markyyyyyyyy321 His comment is a reference to the song Maggot Brain by funkadelic, wherein band leader (at the time), George Clinton, under the influence of LSD, told the guitarist on Maggot Brain, Eddie Hazel, "to play like his mother had died, to picture that day, what he would feel, how he would make sense of his life, how he would take a measure of everything that was inside him." Because of the musical similarities to the track, as well as the homage to Eddie paid in the track name, the reference was apt :)

[@markyyyyyyyy321]

@@Nickenthechiken just brilliant. Thanks such a lot!

[@mondomama7223]

This Song Is A Punch To The Heart. My Absolute Favorite. Thank You Mick! And A Sincere Thank You To Eddy.

[@angelaquigley1950]

Just simply beautiful.

[@JayLeePoe]

It’s an ode to a legend who was himself giving an ode to his recently passed mother. The pain is forever. But he says it beautifully

[@tylerao]

Don’t thank Eddie, he’s a turd

[@tylerao]

JayLeePoe Eddie was a fan on the ween forum, nothing more, nothing less

[@homioliproductions1003]

@@JayLeePoe false. Eddie's mom wasn't dead, George Clinton told him to imagine that when recording it.

[@laurenkatz6136]

At 35 years old, this song still send an electric drought through my veins. Now, in 2021, as over two decades have passed, I’m so proud of my teenage son embracing the talent and artistry of Ween. Such a marvel is the transience embedded in tracks like A Tear for Eddie! Ween never intended on being as much of a multigenerational success as they has come to be and it shows in their originality. Their stage presence and confidence to be themselves is something worth passing down from parent to next generation for many to come. Thank you, Gene and Dean for your bravery to scope the lobe!

[@gabehunter1502]

Not since Jimmy Hendrix did, little wing has a band made a song that no words exist that can better explain what the sound of the music on its own says as this song does. It goes from sad to an anger over the death. Beautiful and so emotional. The fact that they play it a little different everytime they do it live is what I love about ween. They don't forget the purpose. Like many of my favorite artists, they go so uncredited for their art. Only the best are so ahead of their time that they ate usually long gone before being aptly appreciated for what they do. But then fame was never the point to begin with. The art is all that matters

[@jacobmcdonald6748]

[@JayLeePoe]

All good modern bands need to love funk. I always know I like a band cause they were inspired by JB, Eddie, and these spirits of Blues. That’s the voice of our lives spoken with words we fail to grasp even when we feel them. RIP Eddie, Dean, The Spirit of ‘76.
