Do we ever know if Ween came around on Phish? There's a show in 3.0, I forget which one, where Trey asks them to get back together again and says they're the greatest band ever. It's a rare ripping version of Roses for 3.0 too.
Most of the recent Ween comments on Phish are very complimentary and appreciative...I think even the Lockn' quote I used was pretty tongue in cheek. The Ween fanbase seems to have no love lost for their Phish counterparts though. From ween.net:
"Does Phish really cover Roses are free?"
Yes. This was a pivotal moment for Ween as it changed their audience almost overnight to smelly, dirty rotten scumbag hippies. On the upside, Ween, from that moment on became a mainstay at Jam oriented festivals where they were clearly the best band on the bill and were paid significantly more money than they had throughout their history. Many fans are still butthurt about this and the mere mention of Phish’s name sends Ween fans into uncontrollable anger. This is an endless source of laughter to Ween.
