Matt's Greatest Vocal Performance

[rebellious_L]

I'd have to say Let's get it on. I love the way he says "our sycophantic replacements" and "so load me up and keep marching."

[ecnarf]

Primetime Deliverance. Acoustic or Underdogs version.

[Little_Bird]

The Rat Who Would Be King. Easily.

[ChadyzGroove]

The Rat Who Would Be King. Easily.

no doubt try singing that shit, it hurts your throat so bad it brings tears to your eyes

[mrjones]

Running For Home.

 

His voice was so much better before throat surgery.

[marik]

when did he have the throat surgry?

[mrjones]

Just before Audio of Being.

[Jarrod]

his voice makes me pee my pants...

 

well, no. it doesn't...

 

but when i heard avalanche for the first time, it brought tears to my eyes.

[Shiri]

The Rat Who Would Be King. Easily.

I'd have to agree.

[Sim]

but when i heard avalanche for the first time, it brought tears to my eyes.

Me too...

 

At the last part when he say "this key is to your kindom... etc..." i knew this was becoming my all time favorite

I looked through all of MG's songs, i think his best vocal performance is:

 

While We Were Hunting Rabbits - (just so epic, MG really belts it unlike any other song)

 

i also considered:

 

Fated - (amazing chorus: "i long to be dead, sleep with the fishes under the sea...")

 

Apparitions - (more subtle, but so much depth & emotion. His voice carries the whole song)

[wazz]

It's too difficult to pick one best performance because of the variation of songs/sounds/his voice. Some of his best tho...

 

Strange Days (much better than you might initially think)

Avalanche (obviously)

Near Fantastica

While We Were Hunting Rabbits

Advertsing On Police Cars (just something about the way certain parts are sung. Similar argument goes for Near Fantastica actually. nothing amazing, just something about it)

Exactly I can

[Steveo91]

His vocals on house of smoke and mirrors are amazing

[aaronhaus]

The Rat Who Would Be King. Easily.

I 100% agree. There are alot of good ones, and while we were hunting rabbits is a close second, but The Rat Who Who Would be King is #1.

[anitanium]

Avalanche

Near Fantastica

 

and other songs where he sings ridiculously high and that I envy him so for doing

[QueenCanadia]

Weapon and Avalanche. and i really adore Agoraphobe.

[deremac]

Its tough with all the different songs, would I would have to go with The Rat That Would be King as well. Avalanche, tripoli are close.

[Ruettiger]

My vote goes to Avalanche.

[redarmy]

avalanche and advertising on police cars his voice is the best on those two tracks

[wmarskell]

I would have to say that my favorite preformace ever is "house of smoke and mirrors"

"you can see right through me" is such a strong line.

[Guest apsham]

While We Were Hunting Rabbits

Seriously Serious (I love when he holds onto the words, like "sadness" etc.)

21st Century Living (Just hearing him talking, sounding so pissed is awesome)

Alert Status Red (I like how he pronounces the words so bluntly in the verses)

Big City Life (Caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarolina was a gambler and the little "Tough it out" in the background)

Generation X-Wing (I like how gritty his voice is)

[glo]

House of Smoke and Mirrors is my personal fave

[Prometheon]

Yeah, some of the live versions of Big City Life have very strong performances, though the ablbum version isn't quite as difficult.
