Finding Ween can be a life changing event.

[@DingaLingu]

Ive always been a ween enjoyer since childhood, but Literally i smoked a blunt the other night and listened to the rift, israel, did you see me, and transitions in a certain sequence, i cant remember, but suddenly i found i could read into the most esoteric details of the thoth tarot and ancient magi beliefs, its like the key to lost ancient language is hidden in the music and song lyrics no matter how absurd they can be. Cant even accurately express what visions i had but it gave me a deeper understanding of the link between the observer and the whole of things. The shadows of the wheel met my eye and showed me to the crown.

[@internetmike]

100%, changes your definition of what a good band can be

[@TheSherlockbones77]

Ween is such a musical delight for me... Now finding Chevelle was life changing for me.

[@PuffyCloud_aka_puffeclaude]

​@@TheSherlockbones77I put many thousands of miles on my old brown van hauling my friends to Ween shows in the early 2ks. Best trip of my life was to Red Rocks to see Tenacious D open for Ween.

Hell yeah! Polo knows Ween. All is right with the world 🤘

[@JC-es5un]

Ween are a phenomenal band. “White Pepper”, “Chocolate and Cheese” and “Quebec” are all incredible albums. Their earlier albums are great too, but they probably ate their body weight in mushrooms while recording some earlier music, lol. 👍

MASTERPIECE

[@joelhensley5322]

Ween are one of the best. They can sound like any band effortlessly, every song is unique. There was even one time I heard a Ween song I didn't know and thought it was Thin Lizzy. Looked in to it and it was a song that was written by Thin Lizzy but never released so Ween did it in Thin Lizzy style to pay homage, incredible musicians.

[@dickielee6419]

You could throw a dart blindfolded at the entire Ween discography and not only will every song you land on be a completely different vibe, but it will be an impeccable, perfect distillation of whatever genre they decided to fuck around in for that track. Musicians' musicians and a music-lover's dream.

[@coreyward6705]

Welcome to the world of Ween. The most misunderstood and underappreciated band. Another good entry song would be Voodo Lady from the same Live in Chicagow show. May the Boognish bless your ears.

Ween "Pissing up a rope" is the greatest breakup song of all time.

Greatest band ever; if you like the grand scale of this I highly recommend "The Argus", that song makes me weep.

[@kansastintcompany]

They’re a so many tracks that deserve 20 million views but there’s music lovers and just people that like music

[@brianmayer3767]

YES! They switch genres faster than any band ever. They are the bastard sons of Prince, The Beatles, Mötörhead, & Hank Williams Sr on a full sheet of Acid, a box of Whip-Its, and all the MaryJane you can fit into a walk in closet. They're clean now, for the most part, but their body of work transcends typical descriptions. You will equally love and hate Ween at first. Then you will feel so, so dirty for liking their quirkiest offerings. Then, you will reach an acceptance that rivals most other bands. This is an absolute journey. All hail the Boognish. Thank you for allowing us to witness your conversion. Buckle up motherf'cker. See you on the other side! 🧡

[@falldog_discoking]

Dude, you’re spot on about the stages of acceptance of Ween. I was seriously embarrassed that I liked them for a short period of time. Now I couldn’t be more proud.

[@ecce_neru]

26 times live... Canada, States, Europe... never a bad show. I missed the meltdown in Vancouver... mind blowing fact, Claude Coleman Jr. survived an automobile accident that he sustained pelvic fractures and brain injuries in 2002. ❤ 🙏

[@jessereep649]

Watching this made my day, I just smiled watching you enter the world of Ween.

Be Still My Heart. Ween is one of my favourite all-time bands. What a delightful surprise to see them here and I loved your reaction. Thank you to the fan who wrote such a thoughtful intro and took the initiative to request this song. Hope you will check out more from them. So looking forward to it!!

[@travispeterson8952]

Ween deserves more views. Yes. But they are also all over the place so I can understand why some listeners don’t understand it. This is a great track. I still love “the mollusk” and many others too. Enjoy!

[@chucky6975]

Ween is the only band I know that could play 20 different original songs and you would think they were 20 different bands.

I saw the lead vocalist eyes and went 'Jethro Tulls little brother'. I loved this.

[@mikecramer7010]

I love Ween! They're sublimely brilliant oddballs. You can't pigeonhole their sound -- which I suppose is part of why they're not more well known They can nail many genres, and often skewer them with wickedly funny lyrics. Behind it all is superb musicianship.

[@danieltoughdan2293]

I love Ween so much. Though I will say, they are definitely one of those bands where you either get it or you don't. They are very weird lol, and I think that's why they have such a huge cult following. You should check out their drummer too Polo, Claude Coleman Jr. He's next level incredible, one of the most underrated drummers for sure. Stay brown, friends!

Can never tire of the beauty that is Ween. Love them dearly... I try my best to see them LIVE as much as possible. Never disappoint... and being to 40+ of their shows; they are like non other. I hope you continue down the brown road of epicness. Countless times I am playing them and no one knows who they are; but I love when I get them to listen to multiple tracks and they continually ask; who is this?... and the answer, always Ween. Boognish dances throughout most all genres and you never know what you'll hear next; but surely you will love it and wish for more.

[@MTLUVR]

Amazing band to see live!

[@santadog9]

I adore WEEN as much as I adore Primus. Chocolate and Cheese is my fave, but love them all. Inside fun: Dean Ween is engulfed in fog at every single show. It's sort of a gag on how rock stars use them. First time I saw Ween was on a teeny weeny stage inside of the original Austin Emo's. The stage was really only a riser a few inches tall. They played and then the smoke machine came on. It filled the bar instantly. Now, 30 some years later when that fog machine goes off, I get a good laugh. PLEASE check out "Voodoo Lady" and "Spinal Meningitis" on the Chocolate and Cheese Album. Thanks for the react.

[@TheMerg420]

[@DallasGunther]

Back in the nineties i didnt get Ween. About a decade or so ago my younger brother gave me his CD collection and there was a few of their albums..........now i fucking love Ween. "Long night" could have very well been written as a narrative to the lifestyle i had at the time. But yeah, Ween are fucking brilliant.

[@prOkrEAt]

Fucking Buckingham Green. Epic song. Everyone should understand it if they love music. Doesn't matter to what they listen to

[@johnpeterson3386]

I spent a solid year of my life listening to The Pod. There's something just primal and immediate about their music which yeah, ranges all over the place. Loving your musical journey but I just had to drop a comment when you took a shot at Ween. I think it's a band that requires a few listening sessions to really understand. Great stuff!

[@GeschmidtenKot]

They are one of the most underrated bands of all time in my opinion. Enjoy the rabbit hole and the entire concert where this song is from is 🔥 and I can’t imagine these guys blocking anything. I’ve met them on a number of occasions and they’re just normal, somewhat weird guys. The guitarist Dean Ween (Mickey Melchiondo) actually used to run a fishing boat that took people on tours in his spare time.

[@gregwhitcoe5411]

Wow... speechless... I can't believe I've never heard of them!!! EPIC!!! I'm definitely a fan now!!!

[@pjpatterson5839]

Polo, I’ve been following your music journey for a long time and have been awaiting your arrival to Ween since you realized Primus sucked. Ween is admittedly weird and takes some unlocking to really appreciate a dive into their deep cuts, but some of their songs are 4-Runner material without the dive. My suggestions: Dr. Rock Even if you don’t Any Stallion Transdermal Celebration (highly recommended) Your Party Voodoo Lady Baby Bitch (great breakup song) LMLYP (you’ll love this one)

[@DocRobert]

You should check out the song “Voodoo Lady” from this same concert. It’s epic.

[@MoreKellBellPlease]

Love this. Ween is on my all time fave list of bands, seen them over 20 times and travelled to the US to do so, and got my ticket for the Chocolate & Cheese 30th anniversary show in Philadelphia in September. Can’t fucking wait. This song was from the amazing Live In Chicago DVD release and every song in that set list is a banger.

[@ryankinsey3903]

Polo! This was one of the greatest experiences I’ve ever had, thank you. This band is really important to me! I hope you explore more of them, I would love to see you react to “the mars Volta”

[@jamessomers8808]

I’m glad you like this. I have a lot to say about this band. I think I remember seeing Ween on MTV in maybe the late 80s or early 90s and it was so weird. It was sort of hysterical, but I love that album now, what really got me into them was the album Chocolate and Cheese. The Mollusk has some good ones. 12 Country Golden Greats, is really cool and funny. I love that the lead guitar can change styles for every genre that they do from song to song and it sounds like the real deal. Whether it’s pop, country, rock, Funk, or jazz or unique.

[@Crushenator500]

Helllll yeah, Ween is the shit. Love those guys.

[@indiansfever11]

Love that you're digging this. Ween is kind of a niche band, but those who know, know. They're truly incredible. They've done many genres, even released a country album. Pretty sure Aaron was pretty bad with drugs around this time, but they're still in their prime here.

[@MagusMirificus]

This is the opening number in arguably the greatest concert film of the 21st century so far; I'd recommend either making your way through the rest of it on the channel or just watching it on your own time if you want to know the band better. There's no better introduction.

[@therzepkoidian3140]

Agree, it's the thing that got me into the band, and I haven't looked back since. :)

Anytime someone would yell "Freebird" at a show, they got Baby Bitch in reply and we did play the song twice in one show. Lol

SO COOL that you're listening to Ween! I have some insight (being Gen X) that this is a GenX band, yeah? GenX will show up and pay for shows by bands we love, but we are 100% allergic to being advertised to, commercially, and we don't have experience accessing the music we found online. We had to find it. Witness it. It's available now, but holy HELL, we worked to find this content in yon 90's!

[@jonathanbarb5516]

Props for doing something so low key as Ween. Ween is one of those bands that's really good and, like your patreon dude said, is guaranteed to be one of your favourite band's favourite bands, but they always remained pretty much under the radar, hence the low views. I don't know much Ween but I do know they don't take themselves seriously and everything I have heard is good, but I think maybe they are just too theatrical for some.i always kinda considered them a "joke" band when I was young - I can definitely tell Jack Black took some inspiration from them!- but now I have more time and a better appreciation for this type of creativity, so maybe it's time I listen to some more Ween too! Thanks, as always!

[@markstansberry8064]

I can't imagine there being a band with any fame that I've never heard of. This is exciting even at the chance I just don't like.

I missed them in Winston Salem NC. Had a friend play 3 or 4 albums (CD's) and they all sounded completely different. One i remember reminded me of some Pink Floyd songs and the one they got on MTV as a hit was pushing up Daisies. Very cool and wacky. But i always forget to come back too them.
