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
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. 😊
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
Well Yoshiki had every member playing the same shitty songs since 2008 without releasing the freaking album, they could be the best band in the world today, but Yoshiki just prefers to do thousand of different projects and abandon them

ToshI’s got better technique than either. Hyde is the worst from a technical perspective, but I love his characteristic sound. All three are great in their own way.
@@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).
@@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.
Even though everybody is doing great job on the song, I think this particular one suits the best for Gackt's vocals. Toshi's is a bit too high. I wish they recorded both versions with Hyde and Gackt. It would be a great tribute to SKIN as well. 👌
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.
Agreed. Both his voice and performance are very emotional, he can switch between really soft and really hard, which is truly amazing consider the fact that he is the oldest among the three when singing this song. I really like 14:26 the breathing voice of "hah~hah~hah" he added in the interlude
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.
the 3 versions r all different arrangements and toshl's version is d highest, its naturally d most difficult version especially it's not his prime anymore. and toshl's version using a natural voice unlike TLRS using auto tune(very obvious) which is I don't like

Hyde’s crying voice is godsend and fit this song so well ❤️🔥
配信有難うございます。
同じ楽曲でも歌手が違うと音とメンバーののり具合歌詞内容と楽曲、迫力感､リズム感が全く違って聴こえてくるのですね。
私は因みにTHElastlockstarsのHydeさんにあった歌のように思いました。それは歌のリズム感が全の楽器にピッタリとハマり聴いていても気持ちがいいですね。
有り難うございました🙇

3人ともそれぞれ魅力があるけど、とくにハイドの後半に連れての鬼気せまる迫力には思わず見入ってしまいますね。かっこいい。
圧倒的にHYDEが好み。
彼の音域の広さ、深さ、そしてどこか切ない歌い方が曲とめちゃくちゃマッチしてる気がする。
Although I find Gackt's vocal the best for this song, HYDE is truly a great performer!
The Last Rockstars, hands down, gimme chill bump & tears.
Best arrangement.
SKIN version is so amazing... so dark and intense
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. 😊
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!!!
3人とも素晴らしいですね。
GACKTは流石本家で上手い。
Toshlは高音の伸びが凄い。
HYDEはやっぱり低音と独特の世界観が魅力だなと。

You are so right, especially seeing the last rockstars play rusty nail with such dedication.
Well Yoshiki had every member playing the same shitty songs since 2008 without releasing the freaking album, they could be the best band in the world today, but Yoshiki just prefers to do thousand of different projects and abandon them
I love TLRS version
これこそhydeの真骨頂だよ。
SUGIZOの曲だけど、ToshIが下手なんじゃなくて、ToshIには合ってないのよ。ToshIは声を抑え気味の低音が出ないから。あとそんなに声域広くない。最低音も最高音もhydeの方が広い。この曲は本当にカッコいいしLiveでもの凄く聴かせられる曲だからTLRSでリリースもありだと思う。
「これこそhydeの真骨頂」
完全同意です!!
甘く切なくセクシーで、ビブラート、シャウト、デスボイス、全部が詰めこまれていて、hydeさんのためにある曲だとすら思ってしまうしラストの「Destroy～」のデスボイスにはいつも鳥肌がたちます！
今回は我慢して最後まで聴きましたが、どうしてもToshIバージョンを受け付けない理由を分かりやすく教えて頂いた気がします。
ありがとうございます！
嗚呼ーヤバいです!hydeに引き寄せられる自分がいます😨!勿論､Toshi vationも好きです😊
TOSHIはハイトーンボイス一辺倒になるので、声の引き出しはHYDEに軍配が上がる
がなり声はHYDEの圧勝だ
個人的にはskin版が一番イメージピッタリかな。
TLRS版もありだけど。
現実的に最も音源として出そうなのはTLRS版かな？
Xファンとしては悔しけど、これは完全にHYDEの勝ち

Toshlがいちばん輝くのはYOSHIKIの曲。でも、この曲もいいよね。この曲をトシとスギゾーがアコギで歌ってるバージョン、恰好いいですよ。トシの迫力はアコギでわかるよ。
I agree!
YOSHIKI大好き❤最高❤YOSHIKI
世界観的にはTLRS
安定感的にはS.K.I.N.
Xは…
S.K.I.N.はベースの音もちゃんと鳴っててヨシキさんのドラムも
不安感が今より少なくボーカルのガクトさんもシャウトしていて
満足感のある聴き応えになっているので叶うなら
S.K.I.N.の頃にハイドさんが参加していたら…と思ってしまう位には
演奏面はS.K.I.N.の方が好きですね
（個人的な感想なので他の方の感想を否定する意図はないです）
確実にこういう洋楽オルタナ＋ゴシックロックな曲はHYDEさん好みだろうね。「俺がやったろう」感が全開で窺える。本家のGacktが歌うとへヴェネス寄りになってそっちも凄く良きなんだけど、もっと音質が鮮明なS.K.I.N.の映像が残っていればな……
これはHYDEの方が好みだな.....特に後半の表現力はやばい TLRSの節度のある演奏もいい
GacktCのVoもいいなあ
hydeめちゃくちゃROCKしとるわ。邦楽ロックアーティストでhydeの表現力は欧米ロックと大差ないノリだ💪ガナリとシャウト ブレス好きだなぁ日本人では。
比較動画、ありがとうございます(^^)
GACKT❤
Hyde always better
Gackt's voice obviously sounds the best. Nobody can match his low or high end. Hyde is a close 2nd.
ToshI’s got better technique than either. Hyde is the worst from a technical perspective, but I love his characteristic sound. All three are great in their own way.
@@AnimeMovement nah, Toshi's voice doesnt suit the song..at all.. and he had breathe control issues at the chorus.

これ勝手にyoshiki作曲だと思っててやるじゃんって唯一感心してたんだけど結局SUGIZOなのかい
Even though everybody is doing great job on the song, I think this particular one suits the best for Gackt's vocals. Toshi's is a bit too high.
I wish they recorded both versions with Hyde and Gackt. It would be a great tribute to SKIN as well. 👌

I mixed in some parts all of these versions:
th-cam.com/video/V2KzrfctufQ/w-d-xo.html
SUGIZO作曲なら次回のルナフェスでLUNA SEAでもやってみてくれないかな。RYUICHIの声で聴いてみたい。

IMHO they should form a new band without Yoshiki and do their own thing.
Won’t happen because Yoshiki is the creative force behind X. How much great music have Pata and Heath put out?
Yo también quería que ellos tres formaran una banda o que Dope Headz regresara pero Heath ya no está 😢
SKIN version is the best, no doubts.

音域の広さと表現力の差でHYDEの圧勝。

hydeですね。
失礼しました。
ガクトの音域を知ってのか？
表現力とかいう主観の評価でいうと、ワシはガクトの圧勝やなw
GACKT好きだけどこの曲はhydeのがあってる気がするな
こ、これが噂の…
そっかGACKTだとこうなるんだね。
なんかMIYAVIも若い( *´艸｀)
HYDE slay
Might as well release the song under TLR. If not this poor song will never get an official release
La version X Japan est la meilleure 🎶🤩🎶
TOSHI's voice sounds like a chicken screaming.
I don't really know what GACKT is singing.
HYDE's voice is the most suitable for this song.
ToshI has the best voice out of the three and the best technique by far.
@@AnimeMovement
When Toshi sang, he couldn't sing the correct scale from the first note of this song.
He had never mastered the song.
@@nobodynobodyknows Nonsense. ToshI did fine here and technically has the most developed voice.
I prefer ToshI's Chicken screaming to the song. It's hard rock. We have different preferences.
GACKT80点 TOSHI50点 HYDE100点
こうして見るとGACKTもかなりいいし、演奏はSKIN時代が一番迫力ある。
2000年前後のラウドロックの要素を取り入れてるのがよく分かる。
YOSHIKIのドラム演奏が劣化したことを考えるとTLRSは…色々遅すぎたな。
最初からGACKTじゃなくてHYDEと世界を目指してたら今頃どうなってたか。
TOSHIはまともに音程も取れてないし、高音も安定してないし低音も出ないし、歌い方もワンパターンで下手すぎる…結果的にYOSHIKIがHYDEと組んだのは正解だった。
HYDEは表現の幅が広いし、一曲の中に沢山の工夫が感じられて流石としか言いようがない。
歌唱力で言ったらhydeやGacktよりToshlの方が圧倒的に優れてますよ。
hydeは独特な表現とか艶かしさ、Gacktは低音のなんとも言えない色っぽさが流石だと思います。
ただどんなに歌唱力があろうと、曲のイメージがありますので、それに関してはやっぱりGacktなどの方がこの曲にあってるのかなと思います。
コメ主さんの見解が概ね正解やな。
ただ、やはり年齢的な問題なのかは解らんがトータルバランスはSKINの圧勝。ちなみに、hydeさんは2010年前後はこれ程ボーカルの状態よく無かったんだよ。特に、2007年にL'ArcがLink出した辺りは本当に酷かった。（おそらく、モチベーションの問題からトレーニングサボってしまった時期。）Vampsを経て2018年くらいから今にかけてはhydeとしてのピークの歌唱力だね。
こういう流れを汲むと、SKINでガックンを起用したのはある意味自然な流れだし、2010年前後はガックンの方が多分状態良かった。
この時代は海外だとこの四人の中でGacktが一番熱かったですが
色々な意味で二度と来ない時代
toshi is great 🤘

“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.
トシの声は海外の人に評判良くないのですね
歌詞も英語に聞こえないみたいだし、声がニワトリとか言ってる人もいるw
ニワトリは草
あっとうてきにがくとさまがいちばん。
楽曲の世界観にあまり声が合ってない、英語の発音が良くないのは分かってる。

時代（機材含め）違うから一概に比較できないよね
XJAPANファンのあたしとしてはやっぱTOSHIだなぁ。
まぁRYUICHIと同じデッドエンド大好きなHYDEとSUGIZOの曲は相性いいんだろうけど。
私はやっぱToshIバージョンが一番哀愁が漂っている感じがして好きだな。ちなみにこれよりもっと高いキーの時のがさらに好きです。
