Aaron Freeman
Also Known As: Gene Ween, Gener
Years Active: 1987 - Present
Associated Acts: Ween, Freeman, Z-Rock Hawaii
Recorded Range: C2 - B5
Voice Type: Pisces
{Vocal Summary}
During Ween’s early years, punk legend Henry Rollins described the group as the "one ray of light" that shone through an ongoing "total musical vacuum" at the time. Whether or not Ween is someone’s cup of tea, it’s hard to overlook how this eccentric alt-rock group can elicit such strong enthusiasm from its fans. Ween is a band that never takes themselves too seriously, yet always puts their all into their music. They can write about virtually any topic through any style, and they will sell it passionately as their own. As the voice of this group, Aaron Freeman (better known as Gene Ween, or Gener) does it all: he can belt, wail, scream, croon, growl, get thin and nasal, get thicc and chesty, do (admittedly questionable) accents… And in the context of eclectic Ween, he does this all without seeming like he’s just showing off. Although many might see Ween first as a comedic band, their music is undoubtedly quite versatile, and Gener's skill and character as a vocalist help to take this to its full potential.
Also, yes, he's a baritone, but I don't think anyone here would contest that.

Special Note: A lot of Ween songs (eg. "Don’t Laugh (I Love You)", "Pork Roll Egg and Cheese", "Ocean Man", etc.) are entirely pitch-shifted. For these, I tried to notewatch a live version instead, generally as close to the time the song was released as I could find it.
