Please Hyde!!!! Protect your voice!! Drink lots of water!! Don't use your throat!!! I can't ask you to stop smoking because that's an exercise in futility, but do what you can! We love you and want you to perform forever!!

I hope he doesn't do too much raspy stuff at Avalon :/

Lol, this is nothing new for HYDE's performances. I know HYDE can sing better if he really wanted to, but to me, it doesn't matter too much. He can sound like a dying whale for all I care as long as the album version sounds good and that the live is FUN. That's what a concert should be, in my opinion: Fun. Not very many musicians seem to take this practice, though. In fact, HYDE and Ozzy Osbourne are the only two people I know that place fun over the vocal quality during lives.

Anyway, yeah, to sum it up, I don't mind the vocals in this @3@ - Also, as stated above, HYDE has quit smoking. CONGRATS TO HIM! ^^
