kung Posted May 3, 2004 Report Share Posted May 3, 2004 Apparently last night in Nashville Gene Ween thanked the String Cheese Incident for making this song so popular after they played Roses Are Free. Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimmyB Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hey Esau, The String Cheese Incident has never covered 'Roses Are Free'. It sounds like Gene Ween is making fun of the "jamband" scene again. When I saw Ween at Bonnaroo in it's first year they seemed more than happy to perform 'Roses Are Free' and lap up the applause. Applause that was due to Phish making it popular for them to all that were at that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kung Posted May 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 I think you're missing the point tiny tim. Ween graciously loaned the song to Phish and when they got it back the interest was a throng of wooks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 this wook originally thought Ween were covering that Phish song Roses Are Free (known for years its the other way around but still) drum circles in the Ween lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freeker Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Thats fuggin hilarious. :: A friend of mine was at that show, I'll have to ask him if he remembers hearing that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimmyB Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Don't get me wrong I like Ween a lot and have listened to them since around my university days, which would date back to '94. I was mainly joking around with what I was saying and don't take anything too seriously when Ween are quoted. Just like I'm going to have a hard time taking your quote, kung, seriously "Ween graciously loaned the song to Phish and when they got it back the interest was a throng of wooks." I don't think Phish had to ask Ween's permission to cover Ween, or anybody else for that matter. That's the great thing about songs, just like roses, they're free. That statement thanking SCI is funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the great thing about songs, just like roses, they're free. yeah, and (thank boognish) didn't ween ask phish to stop playing roses are free? that quote is fricken hilarious, kung. that's as good as the time gener introduced "you fucked up" with "and this is a song i wrote for my mom". ah ha ha ha ha ha.....

Esau Posted May 4, 2004 Report Share Posted May 4, 2004 Hey Esau, The String Cheese Incident has never covered 'Roses Are Free'. Didn't think so. Although, I really am not a fan of the three above mentioned bands (with a small exception to Phish),my comment was originally intended as sarcastic but I can see how it wouldn't read that way.And yeah,trust me,I know ALL about poking fun at the "jamband" scene... Ps.(for the rest of ya'll) I'd rather listen to Phish with the members of Ween then listen to SCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
