**DIDM**

please tell me there are mini gamers that enjoy the best music has to offer.

Ween just may be the best and most diverse band EVA!

this may be the most epic song ever. it just screams epic

**Cheesecat**

I'll give them a try.

Being eccentric for the sake of being eccentric doesn't make your music good.

they have mastered most every genre of music, and have more than a good time doing it

masters they are, and haters there are many. I just spread the good news, and let others decide

Hints of BOC, but also Dave Matthews.

**snurl**

OK- If it sounds like BOC I gotta check it out.

Listen to ME262, from Secret Treaties by BOC

um, you are so fething wrong it almost pisses me off

Dave Mathews?

this band was around when Dave was nothing

93 here

They formed in 1984

forgot the hard stuff

DMB in in 91, not becoming famous till 96-97, and famous is a stretch.

Plus no way in hell do Ween look up to DMB, no fething way. That is an absolute insult to them IMO

NSFW

The only thing I like less than Ween, is people who like Ween.

**Corpsesarefun**

The name annoys me intensely so I'm not even going to listen to them.

**Albatross**

They are musically adept, versatile, but ultimately hamstrung by their attempts at 'wackiness'. I reject the zany.

**Corpsesarefun**

I don't doubt that, however their name sounds both pathetic and annoying at the same time.

Kind of like a whining fanboy harmonising with a fly.

**Mr. Burning**

Ween - Seem like jack of all trades.....

Its not bad, but not for me.

**Easy E**

Spinal Menningitis (sp) always creeped me out, but my wife loves it!

**Cheesecat**

Just listened to Pure Guava, I found the vocalist to be rather and the instrumental side sounded like they were farting out there own soundtrack, overall not impressed would not recommend this album to others.

If people want a good band listen to that's completely bizarre then may I recommend Frank Zappa.

Says the Morrisey fan?

Ween's okay. I can only take it in small doses, though.

Correction: Smiths fan. Not particularly bothered about his solo stuff, though he is one of the greatest British singers of all time.

**Medium of Death**

I'm not sure what to do to cancel what I have been exposed to in this thread.

I don't think I can.

I'll just do you the same injustice.

To be fair, I think more people have enjoyed the antics of the Vengaboys more than Ween...

**Corpsesarefun**

You know DIDM I really think you should get off this band but take it slowly though and listen to them a little less each day. You know, ween yourself off it?

Glad to see you are rejeting bands for sound reasons...

Most bands have absolute s*it names. Most are some combination of : dumb, pretentious, etc.

I'm not a fan of ween, but the name doesnt even factor into the equation...

**Corpsesarefun**

If it is any consolation this is the first band I have disliked the name of enough to not even try listening to them.

**Albatross**

Selfish C**t is a great name for a band. There was also a band round these parts called Happy F**king Birthday. Excellent.

**Battle Brother Lucifer**

Sounds like a schoolboy's name for his boy parts.

I don't like them

**Medium of Death**

Anal C**t are up there for top quality band names, methinks.

**Cheesecat**

What I don't get are the BOC comparisons they sound nothing like Ween, well at least "Tyranny and Mutation" and "Secret Treaties" don't I stopped caring for the band after those two albums mainly because

they started drifting away from there more traditional hard rock sound.

**Albatross**

My band was nearly called Ignorapist.

**Medium of Death**

It's never too late for a name change.

**murdog**

Long-time Ween fan here, Pure Guava is my favorite album of theirs (there are some I haven't heard). Few bands sound like they are having as much fun as those guys. Saw them live once, they covered Zeppelin's 'All of My Love', and it was fantastic.

Can't think of the name of the song, the one with the Mexican telling the story of trying to find his brother's killer, and threatening to kill him with poisoned chicken - help me out, what is that track called? It is hilarious!

**Doctadeth**

I weened myself off ween, Had a bit of a take with them, but ultimately there are better bands out there. They are a lesser version of weird al, with swearing. I'll take weird al for 200 please.
