Looks like Aaron's tour has been completely canceled, due to low ticket sales. Consequently:

I just happened to be on the Ween forum this morning immediately after he posted in a thread about Claude's tweet. The post (and entire thread, for that matter) has been deleted, but he said something along the lines of "Wanted to weigh in on Claude's tweet--best you hear it from me. There will be no more Ween shows. The book's been closed." What a trainwreck. At the same time, though, I have to think of it from a humanistic perspective. If Aaron stays Gene Ween, he's on drugs 22 hours a day and dies by 50. If he goes back to Aaron, he lives longer, but can no longer be with a band that has for better or worse defined itself by drug use. He can't stop making music--it's in his blood--but he's only written Ween songs for like....25 years now. He's starting from scratch and his audience only wants Ween.

weirdojace posted:Or maybe if Ween were to continue, he can learn some loving self control and not overindulge in drugs because that's what "Gene Ween is supposed to do." Maybe he should learn from Deaner, who seems to have managed to be a responsible drug user the entire time. Yeah but saying "have some self control" isn't gonna work with someone who's obviously medically an addict. He needs to remove himself from the triggers that have caused him to relapse time and time again. As a fan it sucks, but as someone who would rather not have another Ween tour than to see the dude dead in 5 years, it's understandable.

For as spaced out as Gene is or seems to be all the time, Dean has to be one of the most grounded, down-to-earth musicians out there.

As cool as a live companion to each of their studio albums would be, a part of me is super bummed that we probably won't see any more new music from them, at least for the foreseeable future.

Elephunk posted:I wonder if they'll ever play more than a two-night weekend run with one night in Philly again. The Denver shows will be the first time I'll have seen them since just before Fiesta dropped and I'm trying desperately to temper my expectations. I've heard they still put on a good show, but I wish they had anything new left in them.

Has there even been any sign of him since their last show? I've seen Deaner around a bunch online but seems like Gene just dropped off the face of the earth this year.

I don't know that they still like to act like that--at least I haven't seen any of the band talk about it anytime recently. If I were them and I had, for whatever reason, no intention of ever putting out any more music, I'd be doing everything I can to embrace the jammy hippies, cause they'll be the band's bread and butter from here on out. e: the band having given up on new music bums me out so much. Aaron stopped into my town on his Freeman tour and it was a blast to hear him playing stuff that was fresh to him. If that album was an indication of the music he's got left in him, it's a crime not to be doing something else. Sir Bobert Fishbone fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Oct 5, 2021 |

Bold Robot posted:Think I 'm going tonight. Anyone know how late Ween has been starting these days? Have seen them a dozen or so times since 2016 and they reliably started 30-45 minutes late, but then they were weirdly prompt at the NYC shows two years ago and I missed some good songs. I know I can just show up early but I hate standing around with my dick in my hand at a venue before the show starts, especially since I'm gonna be keeping my mask on. I feel like every show I've seen live or streamed on Facebook over the last 4 years or so, they've started reliably between 20 and 40 minutes late.
