For me I like the X-Japan's version because that's were I seen Heath dances to the tune, Sugizo head bangs hard! and Toshl drinks water on stage before he performs. 😊
All three sound amazing and their own. My personal preference will be hyde's as his voice suits this genre so very well. I'd assume yoshiki must be very happy when recording this song with hyde

I prefer Gackt’s vocals but even more than that I prefer the entire S.K.I.N. performance, the visuals, the lighting.. the instrumental interlude!!!
When x japan plays it, only Yoshiki and Sugizo seems to enjoy what they are doing, others are just like doing a job that they don't like but have to do, can not feel the enthusiasm. When TLRS plays it, everyone is dedicated with full energy, especially hyde, I can feel the power in both his voice and his body movements. Small body big power, impressive. Maybe this is the reason why X japan did not work out, and why they formed TLRS

Gackt's voice obviously sounds the best. Nobody can match his low or high end. Hyde is a close 2nd.

@@ML-yn9yu Your first statement is a matter of opinion. I think it’s great. Regarding vocals, none of the three are perfect singers, but ToshI has the best technique and overall developed voice. You’re exaggerating his breath control issues. Don’t forget that ToshI is singing several keys higher too. Gackt verges on a tremolo in parts in a much lower range. ToshI is just a better vocalist.
I always thought that Gackt was actually the one that produced the song and along with the whole performance it becomes more like a Gackt song and closer to the visual kei genre rather than a song he made with a band (if that makes sense) ..Hyde's version is more punk and wilder..

S.K.I.N. version actually sounds like Western type J-Rock, X Japan's is generic rock, while TLS is the most visual kei & J-Rock (although sounds like Linkin Park, HIM & Hyde solo combination).
@nobodynobodyknows Жыл бұрын
@@Gavrani77 Visual kei is not a specific sound, but a style accompanied by a worldview and stylistic beauty through visual expressions such as makeup and fashion when playing music. It's hard for me to understand your description of s.k.i.n as Western J-rock and TLRS as visual-kei J-rock, because both bands have plenty of visual elements.

I think generally after I.V. which is a tune I love, Yoshiki didn't at all focus on any song that would fit X Japan. He didn't give Pata a chance the band to create anything. He just brought Sugizo and began this wierd concept that just consisted of former X Japan members but was never to be an X Japan new sound. I am not surprised neither Heath or Pata or ToshI enjoyed this song since it was never supposed to be an X Japan song. Yoshiki was not able to write anything that would give X Japan true meaningful new style. He was always lying about the album coming out not ever thinking seriously about it. I just hope Heath, Pata and ToshI continue to enjoy making new art and express themselves. IMHO they should form a new band without Yoshiki and do their own thing.

True. Cover version lyrics strangely changed the depth and meaning, melodies and singing don't have the mystery, power, are not following the content and context of the lyrics. Some could say that the comments in favor of TLR/Hyde or X/Toshi, although music taste is subjective, show how much Japanese people have a very bad understanding of English.

Toshi has the best English pronunciation. And while the X Japan version sounds very much like their standard sound, The Last Rockstars’ arrangement sounds “fresh”. I enjoy GACKT’s voice but something about the S.K.I.N. version feels disconnected or inauthentic. Lack of time to prepare can’t really be used as an excuse because TLRS only had 1-2 months of rehearsal before their debut and tour, unless S.K.I.N. had even less time.

“Unless S.K.I.N. had even less time” try not at all because Yoshiki reportedly wouldn’t show up (or was late) for rehearsals.
