I'm a very big Notorious B.I.G. fan and I do an imitation of him that always cracks everybody up.
From Gene Ween
Most of our fans seem to be very intelligent people who don't stand out too much, but they're still total freaks. I like that - they're smart and sadistic, which I think is a reflection at us.
Ninety-nine per cent of opening bands stink.
Not after the big bust in '92, there's no big drug lifestyle anymore. I can't talk about it. Pretty ugly.
Now in a way, money is money, and if it's going to increase our audience, that's fine.
We are going to put out a boxed set thing, but I don't want to do it yet. I want to wait until we're 45 and we're bitter and broke. Then, we'll put out the comprehensive Ween boxed set.
We had been working. We had a bunch of songs written and it came time to make the record, so we had our lawyer make the call to Elektra and ask for our advance. Then, we got dropped. It was actually exciting.
We love doing commercial and TV show work.
We sold a certain, steady amount of product for them and they could count on it. When it came time to ask for the money for this new record, they dropped us. It was fine with us. It was a dead fish.
You know, it's absolutely connected to The Mollusk in that, it's what we're writing after The Mollusk. A lot of this stuff reminds me of things on The Mollusk.
