Geoff has one of the most amazing voices ever he has always sounded the same live and on records, which makes him a real vocalist unlike all the electronic "enhancements" now. queensryche, rush and megadeth are the only bands I have seen that sound the same and true to the music they put out.
brilliant acoustic vocal performance...just voice,without effects!actually his style is hard,so sometimes it's not perfect-he knows this..aging,usually singing techniques improves,+gets stronger,when all things,meaning''instrument''heals..thanks for sharing!
damn!!! what a voice!!!! I regret it back then in the 80's I never cared for Queensryche. They're an awsome band and one of the greatest voices of rock...amen.
Relax people, even though Queensrÿche aren't glam at all, his comment is valid. He said they were a jewel and this made his day, that isn't so bad at all now is it? I don't care what they are, but I love this song and the riff is among my very favorites!
@tzimani1234 his voice overpowers both guitars. and did you notice there's backing vocals? it's a waste of time having them because you can't hear them over Geoff's monster of an instrument.
@Bursayu he HAS lost his range...even in this video he cant sing high in "...the mirror never lies", he just cant anymore....he still has a great voice but at one time it used to be phenomenal in every aspect, a perfect voice...listen to the mtv acoustic live and to livecrime...
I have followed this band since the beginning... listening (and watching) goes far beyond normal sensory perceptions. It becomes a deep and meaningful experience.
When they were young, it seemed clear they were setting high standards for themselves. As journeymen of the craft they have met and exceeded those standards - to the benefit of music industry. I am grateful for their efforts.
I love how far he backs away from the mic at 1:03, right before the high notes. A really smart reworking of the vocal phrasing to suit his voice at 50. This is a great video!
awesome man!! they played this song accoustically last night at thousand oaks was an amazing show! geoff looked and sounded awesome!! got to meet them all too got autographs and a pic with geoff real cool and down to earth guys! will never forget april 2nd!!
haha- whos the one Ahole that had to mark their 'dislike' on this? you're a goof, mr. dislike guy :P

It was really painful, Geoff is finished. The guy has lost his interpretive touch.

During the refrain he stands away from the mic, because he is afraid that he will melt it..

@Bursayu He may not have lost his voice, but he most certainly lost his range. He's human, so he's forgiven.
