The Way Joe sings "the shell returns to dust" and "High beyond the curse of time" sounds so beautifully tortured, it makes this particular performance my favorite version of this song.
@@mlk_ix2831 I just checked it out, and Joe's vocals on that performance sound excellent. I still prefer this one because it seems like he was running out of breath and time on some of the phrases and the way it came out just sounded extra tortured that for some reason reminds me of the character Horror from the Pagemaster. But in the rock and Rio version, Joe seems to give a bit of extra vehemence when his voice kind of squeaks in the end of his phrases. It's awesome
I you scream like Joe, you will ruin your voice because he doesn't scream in the correct way. And yeah, he pretty much has already ruined his voice by now. Compare any 2010 live Gojira video to 2020 or older... that's what ignoring vocal technique does to people's voices
@@dmytrotsvyntarnyi799 I was about to comment the same... Sadly... Gojira is one of my favorite bands and it's painful to say that from it's vocalist. He always said that he didn't considered himself as a vocalist, there's a very cool interview of him talking about his life where he explains that
[Verse 1] The sickness of this world is destroying all the dreams The fools are kings, tearing apart the soul The race for complication, communicate reaction The lack of heart of men, I grow distant from the core [Chorus] Borrow this body for a lifetime Earthly material My soul unraveled out of mental The shell returns to dust [Verse 2] I focus on the present, concentrate on what I find Accelerate the vision high beyond the curse of time Bring light to my attention, the walls of vacuum fall This force increases and tells me where to go [Chorus] Follow, I enter my dimension Awakened heart for life Enforce my senses; understanding I find the will to live straight, oh [Verse 3] I feel the change, I see the vicious circle Finally turned into a virtuous one Having the whole world in my hands filled Timelessness Out of the frame, I feel so vast, I'm all around myself Imaginative interaction But I keep struggling inside to hold this always Forever there [Verse 4] Is it the fear to fall in space that keeps us from understanding? The only way to find the power is to look inside Increase your fall on purpose and let this river flow Now you hold this secret appeared out of the vacuum of space Remain in what you are, the center of your life You made it to this point, no one can tell you how You crawled and bled all the way, but you were the only one that Was tearing your soul apart, you finally find yourself
