Bananas & Blow || Ween Cover

[MsJewishNazi]

look at all of the fucking asians.

[yewpheng]

what's that second chord you play?

[cheshiremouse]

great job!

[TheChicomangman]

Good cover...you can hit the higher notes well!

[OlioHodgepodge]

i like that i didnt realize it was japan until about half way through it. hahahaha.

[mixmastermeeks]

Did this guy loose a bet or something? sounds really good though.....

[voltron420420]

yah your big in japan - tom waits

[TheToothpaster]

Awesome Video!

[Stiffatronic]

nice cover!

so...I hear Happy Together, I hear the Rocket Man, I hear Starman....but what's the other tune? :)  is it the instrumental part before Rocket Man? it sounds vaguely familiar but the background noise makes it a little tough to pick out (if that is the part).

[waynepetrey]

@Stiffatronic OK, you got nearly all, and you identified the other one so I'll tell you: it's Hotel California (the instrumental part just before Rocket Man). So there you have it!! :D

[wetriddim]

i could never live in tokyo. too many people. id be angry very quickly there

[symbal777]

rocket man and i dont kno the other

[fattirevsbud]

are u a giant? lol

[waynepetrey]

yes.

[waynepetrey]

@fattirevsbud Yeah, I'm very tall...and they're not so much, so I can honestly say that I was big in Japan.

[fattirevsbud]

@waynepetrey pretty good man and it makes a great vid keep rockin out

[westknife]

Hah - I played this song with my band last year in Beijing. ~Ween around the world~

[waynepetrey]

awesome!

[boognish1]

Good job. The Boognish approves.

[c2323]

nice

[waynepetrey]

Thanks!

[cocainekongpow]

You look superimposed lol

[waynepetrey]

Yeah, a few people have mentioned that. I should've interacted with people more so there'd be no doubt I was really there. :)

[ZoloftSmoothie]

lol you kick ass.

[devlincotter]

thanks, this is great. one of my favorite songs, and thats a crazy place. how did you choose it. i hae been there, but didn't see toomany street performers.

[waynepetrey]

Yeah, I didn't see many street performers either. And none were in this spot. I picked it just to shoot some video, because it has a cool background, but isn't too in people's face. In comparison...

[jlidano02]

is that a washburn i love my washburn put elexir strings on it next time you restring it i love em

[waynepetrey]

Actually, it's a Fender. I'll check out those elexir strings though, thanks!

[waynepetrey]

LOL, well said. I think the shinto God I mentioned is a distant cousin though. Thanks for the cool words, they're my favorite band too!

[desimaltall]

Cool!

[waynepetrey]

Thanks. I'm not positive, but I think the Boognish originally comes from Japan...one of the lesser-known Shinto Gods. Maybe his shrine is somewhere in Shinjuku!

[magicgotaidz]

This is very neat. I love how they just keep walking by, going about their business. It brings a sense of life into the recording. Great cover by the way. Thanks for sharing!

[waynepetrey]

Thank you! Yeah, if I did this in, say, Times Square, someone would definitely yell, wave to the camera, and say "Hi Mom!"

[jgwhiteistight]

This is the most awesome thing I have ever seen, seriously.

[waynepetrey]

Wow, that's very cool. I'm glad you saw this video before visiting Niagra Falls or the pyramids in Egypt! (^_^)v

[deanfreeman]

such tiny people the japanese are.

[waynepetrey]

Well, to be fair, I'm 6'7" — but, no, they're not the tallest folk.

[jancar2012]

I admire the fact that no matter how they crowd you as they walk by,you never miss a beat.Great performance.

[waynepetrey]

LOL, thanks a lot! It helps that none of them flash signs or say "Hi Mom!" and all that jazz. They made it easy for me to keep my focus :)

[thismikesforyou]

rockin' tune man!!

[waynepetrey]

cheers!

[lilyollie]

O and So happy together-the turtles, Rocketman-elton John, 3rd one escapes me...

[waynepetrey]

Very good! There are actually two more. Hint: Bowie and one of the best-selling touring bands of all time (maybe THE best-selling).

[lilyollie]

First time I've ever posted but that totally deserved one !! Great work man! Flippin Awesome!!

[waynepetrey]

Thanks a lot man! I'm glad I inspired you to post!

[Jaybizzle83]
