I think it has.
I mean Frank and Gerard are off drugs and Alcohol so they have gotten much better.
I saw them 2004 when they opened for green day and they sucked.
Gerard was sooo drunk.
He was liek slurring lyrics and it was just a mess :/

don't aim to please.:
I just wish he would stop smoking...


Same here.
And I definately think it has improved.
I love their earlier music, but I think Gerard's voice sounds even better now.

i think its improved over the years,
because Gee isn't drunk on stage anymore and
just the fact over time you learn more things to do
to improve your sound.

I think Gerard sounds like a different person on The Black Parade, his voice is real smooth and just heavenly to listen to, whereas on 3 Cheers and Bullets, he still sounds awesome, just real different. Almost like he's queasy. lol

I think they all have improved a lot. Not only live but also their lyrics have become bigger than life so to speak. Their older lyrics were great but the new ones just blow them away. @.@

listening to all three cds, you can definitely hear a change in gee's voice.

bullets and revenge sound similar, whereas tbp is higher?

the live performances are different from the past too. gee definitely sound a lot better now.

i think its definately changed

and got better

but at the same time i wouldnt change the vocals on bullets or revenge for anything

i think his vocals on bullets work really well with the songs, same with revenge. his live performance seems to have improved most but ive only ever seen them twice in 2006 and 2007 so i dont have personal experience of the lder vocals just what ive seen online and stuff

but although his vocals sometimes fall a little in live shows its understandable , i mean he puts SO much in to the shows that if he didnt get worn out n out of breath it would just be strange. But at a live show the vocals dont have to be perfect cos of the atmosphere when your there and the emotion he puts in

i love his voice!

Definitly without a doubt it is SO much better. I argue with my friend Derek all the time because he thinks Bullets was the best because they sounded the best. No Way dude. If you listen to their cd's you can def. hear the impovement and the over all sound is better as well. Not that they sucked then, but yeah some of their live shows were aweful. Still love them!!

gerards voice has deffinately improved in lots of ways i think gerard has reached his potential and can still find some ways of reaching his ability to put power and energy into his lyrics. Gerard has lots of ways to sing the lyrics and he perfects them everytime Very Happy

Mcr have improved since bullits. The biggest improvement i have to say is
Gerards voise. Because it seems better live than it used top be. Maby its just because he's clean an dsober now or has he just had lots of exspearence.
Thats my opinion any way Razz

Definitely.
Especially now they try harder and don;t have all the drugs and stuff.
They were always amazing though.

I think his voice has changed a great amount since Bullets.
It's a lot smoother in a way.
And it's a bit more clearer as well.
Lyrics are easier to understand live, if you know what I mean.

& The drugs + alcohol have vanished from Gerard.
It's a lot better now that he stopped all of that.
I think now he really realizes the importance his music has on people.
And how emotional it can be.

Of course, the rest of MCR have improved too.
They were always great from the beginning though.
But, the improvement has made a difference to their musical skills.

not counting how gerard got so much better after becoming clean and sober
but on
The Black Parade is Dead, just the vocals alone sound FREAKING AMAZING on I'm Not Okay. sometimes, ray's had some trouble hitting the vocal notes and whatnot, but on INO, its unfreakinbelivable.
