Talk:Gener's Gone: The Final Demo Recordings of Gene Ween
--Thefakemrsmoltz (talk) 21:21, 23 January 2025 (UTC) I'm making the call: this isn't a Ween record. The songs themselves are in a gray area, but Aaron released the EP under his own name after Ween broke up. I know we call it a "hiatus" now, but that's not what it was at the time. (Not to be a dick, but the clue might be in the word "final" there. Well, being only slightly a dick.) And I'm thinking about the songs now as well... Isn't a song generally assumed to be "claimed" by the artist who puts it out on an *official* release under their name? I don't mean legally or anything, but I've always thought the convention with ambiguous band/band member solo songs was that when there's an official album or EP, the name it's released under is viewed as having claimed the songs as "theirs". As far as we know all of these were considered for La Cucaracha, but they didn't end up on any official Ween record, and Gener only played them live at his own shows, never with Ween. I'll have a think and come back to this sometime. (And yeah I know Deaner incidentally referred to Gener's Gone as a Ween song once, not long after the breakup, on his blog which he took down years ago. Come on though, a *little* bit of reading between the lines is necessary.)
I believe that deaner can be in the first few seconds of champion, gener says something along the lines of ¨So brown¨ or something before it cuts to the track. I agree that it isnt a ween record
i vaguely remember ween archived saying baby dont be afraid was outright ween but other than that im really not sure if the rest can be categorized as ween songs
