To everyone wondering about the vocals in this version: the lead singer Gene has a natural ability to modulate his size. So if they are playing a small venue like this then he will be a normal size and with a normal voice. But if they are playing larger venues like canyons and underwater salt mines then he will grow into a larger form and his voice will shift to the low end

[@francbow7569]

This is so perfect. Singing is absolutely fantastic on this one. He really seems to have fun on this stage, not like the guitarist ^^

Manager!? This is the greatest day of my life!

[@bubblegutgaming6201]

So we're talking Ocean Man by Ween: I ask Mic Atoms why Ocean Man understands the land. He says, "because he's surrounded by it." So he understands the land because he's removed from it? "Yes." So do people sometimes sub consciously remove themselves from situations so that they can better understand them? What if once they do that, go through the process, and try to acclimate they're not allowed to because people haven't evolved enough to understand this concept and by default take offense? IDK. Hindsight is 20/20... Ocean man understands the land like every single day bruh! He's seen it happened, it was built around him. I want you to imagine A blind and deaf elderly lady accusing you of farting. Take that image but imagine you are the land and the elderly lady is the ocean. That old lady's accusing finger is pointing at me too no matter what. She doesn't even have to sea. Her accusing Finger is simply a compass bro. In a way almost creating unpredictable ocean currents. Some times sadly causing rouge waves at times. You got it bro. I know you do and i really like it. Surf's up :)
