My new favorite band!

These guys are incredible. Amazing vocals.
Now you won't have to hear me "pimp" Overkill anymore.

I know a formerly active RP'er that LOVES Ween! Hello, QuailWhale, are you out there?
If you look at this video from a narrow focus, without ever having heard anything else they did, it'd be like judging Frank Zappa by "Valley Girl." Ween are some pretty bright, if not terminally weird, guys. They did a record once with some of Nashville's most revered studio aces, and it's really good. Yeah, it's Songsmith-approved hardcore country.
Oddly, I really like this song, and the only reason I can come up with is that it's so quirky. It's almost childlike.
Gotta admit, however, I've never seen 'em live, and I've seen Overkill a coupla times... I think I'd prefer Overkill at a show.----->JMS

Ween rules. I love "Piss up a rope" I believe they are from PA.

i dont know, im not a big fan, i think it all has to do with personal taste really, but i thought that it sucked pretty bad. of course, i have a pretty particular taste in music.

Awww Johnny you remembered!!
I know Bag was just kidding about liking them

I think that they're one of the most interesting bands I've ever heard, and each song sounds completely different from the others. Anyway, here are two more for you Bag (one of them is Piss Up a Rope as mentioned above...)
Enjoy!!!

Why would you ever stop 'pimping' Overkill?

OK, those were MUCH better. That "Pushin Up Daisies" song was the first time I ever heard them. Still not really my cup of tea but not as horrible as I originally thought. I can appreciate the "tongue in cheek" factor now.

Don't worry Feelgood, I'll still pimp Overkill as long as they keep putting out albums like Immortalis!
