Ween is the best fucking band out there right now
I don't know where you're getting this "political" or "intellectual" shit from. I've never heard Gene or Dean talk about the election, saddam or any of that shit. I listen to ween because they are one of, if not the, most diverse and talented bands ever.
They sing about doing drugs, which I find retarded, but their music is fucking brilliant.
That shit about Trey being one of the best guitarists is such fucking bullshit. I honestly tried to like him and after listening to him multiple times, he just dicks around and is one of the worst singers ever. Phish's butchering of Ween's "Roses are Free" is one of the most horrific things I have ever heard. If given the chance, i would say this to his face. My former guitar teacher is a friend of his from high school and after seeing Trey at bonnaroo I had to tell him how much his friend sucked. I liked SOME of Oysterhead but mostly because of Les.
And if "one of the most distinct styles a bass playing ever" means playing random shit that doesn't flow with poor rhythm, then yes, he does have "one of the most distinct styles a bass playing ever"
Oh and btw, i didn't smoke/drink ANYTHING the entire weekend of bonnaroo, i was completely sober.
