Yeah, still haven't gotten used to that.  Mcgrupp corrected me a few times on Sunday.   :-D

I'm only through Sand, but I don't get the hate for this show at all.

I just listened to the Wilson > Sand as well and I concur. I also listened to set II this morning while I was walking the dog and aside from the retarded horse force, CDT force, and Wading force, I thought the set was killer. And the CDT was well-played and interesting (to a degree) but I feel that this is overlooked because the transition was whack. I personally thought they recapitulated Waves too soon and didn't pause between the end of waves and the beginning of chalkdust, but hey that's just me.

LOL, just remembered this exchange from the other night between me and my GF fiance during roses

Me: Ever heard of Ween?
Her: Nope
Me: You're dead to me
Her:  :oops:
Me:  :shakehead:

:hereitisyousentimentalbastard

fyp  :wink:

I think what he was trying to say, is that she was demoted after said conversation...

Use The Pod as her initiation. If she can get through that album she's a keeper.

Proper (white-tableclothe) etiquette states that you should introduce any female companion as "Miss Henrietta Tubman" or "My friend, Tits McGee" until such time as you are properly engaged to be married.  This is regardless of co-habitation or whether or not you are digging her out on the regular.  The change can be quite jarring to some gentlemen.

If you turn the sbd up and listen closely, you can hear someone scream "I WIN!" during the opening notes of albequrque.

Wonder what that's all about? :roll:

I'm watching the Wilson>Sand video...... and I just noticed something:  Trey is tapping.  He's doing the Joe Satriani variety, where he uses the side of his pick instead of his fingertip but its still the same thing.

Has he ever done this before?  I didn't know Trey even knew about finger tapping lol....  or am I just totally clueless again, like how I didn't realized until only recently that Mike says "yo check this out" in Fluffhead?


This is a pretty bitchin' hot version of Wilson, too....   and I thought the transition into Sand was pretty killer.  Great flow and perfect placement, imo. 



EDIT:   This Sand is chair-bounce heaven!!!!!!!!  Fucking fantastic Sand!!!  The ending is especially enjoyable; I love how they fuck with it and drop out parts of the beat.  Trey was really good in there, too; very great tension builds and he even does a few sweep picking licks and is in great command in general.  He uses a littttle too much "out" playing for my personal tastes, but others may love it; if you do, this Sand is what you'll flip for.

I'm confident Mike used to say "check it out".  The first "check this out" I remember was Red Rocks '09.

I'm pretty sure he's heard Van Halen before.

haha yeah I mean, I'm sure he knew about it's existence, but I meant more of like... knowing about it in order to use it during a show sort of thing.  Like, that he didn't realize it was there to be done, or that it was available to him...  that it was something he could do in a song, like using a wah pedal for a solo, for instance, or switching to the neck pickup.
