Sooooo wasted. The bit at the start where they argue about who's starting is classic Brown. "No, dude, it's 'Hi I'm Dean Ween'". Love Dean's reaction. And why does Deaner have mad echo? So funny. Aw, I miss the days when MTV was great and took chances.
I wish so badly that I had been a bit older in the 90s - I was born in 85 and don’t have any older siblings so I kinda missed out on a LOT of gen X stuff - I was aware of Ween when I was a kid because of It’s Pat The Movie but I didn’t actually hear them until way later
at 2:05, Gene says that Pure Guava made them their first $100. I read the 33 1/3 book on Chocolate & Cheese and it said that Elektra gave them one of the best contracts in music history and were giving them like $250,000 per album.
Just speculation, but Push th'lil Daisies was their first song to get onto charts (in Australia and New Zealand) and becoming a semi-hit. So he could be jokingly referring to the fact that it was a hit, they got a really good sales bonus.
That is insane, I will have to pick that book up. Makes sense in a way, the production on Chocolate & Cheese still floors me in places. It sounds like an album from 2004, not 1994.
There's a magazine somewhere where Gener says "we aren't at liberty to talk about what they gave us" and Deaner flat-out tells the interviewer proving Gener ineffective
Seems like he was a very 'Live Fast, Die Young' kinda guy back in the day...except he thankfully avoided the latter. I think he's clean(er) and doing alight now though :) Part it of is probably genetics too, some people just age +20 years as soon as they hit 30.
I know all these music videos are available here on RU-vid, but damn, I wish I could experience this as a full episode. Didn't have mtv back then (local cable company made it a premium extra because it was "corrupting the youth" and my family was poor) yet know all of these songs, thanks to local college radio and high school friends, but never saw some of these videos. "Take me back!" -about to turn 46 whatever
i just love the fact that at the time, ween was irrelevant compared to these bands, no one listens to any of that shit anymore, ween is bigger now than ever, the boognish rises
For real. I’m certain that in just a few short years, students writing their dissertation for a PhD in music composition will be writing about Ween. They are absolute geniuses.
@@thomasminarchickjr.7355 how is that unfortunate? The whacked out Ween cult fandom is a big portion of what makes their legacy so special in my opinion
@@joemarinello4555 it was good in 99-04, 05 is the beginning of the decline, by 07-08 it a was mostly reality shows, 06 was really the last year for mtv/vh1
I remember a radio interview they did when they were in town, mid 90's- They just kept ragging on a Ben Folds Five poster that was hanging in the studio.
@@dendrite9000 nah, MTV wasn't like that. They kept any weird thing in they could that was interesting. They kept it in when John Lydon humiliated Dave Kendall by asking if he was wearing a wig and he even tugged on it a bit if I remember right. You could see Dave wanted to cry because he was indeed balding early and wasn't happy about it. He certainly didn't want to be exposed on 120 Minutes by John Lydon.
@@AtacamaHumanoid met Dave on the Bad PIL show at the Icehouse Arena in Tampa. I asked him why they couldn't play more Fall videos on 120 Minutes. LoL 😂😆 Those were the good ole days.
I appreciated you sharing this, but was sad that it was missing the music videos, so I edited them back in (but only the ones the copyright would allow). I thought you might appreciate it also, so here's the link & I'd gladly share the file if you wanted it - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-O9S56SIIzhM.html
