I mean obviously after these days and in to crush this matured older voice developed but it still seemed good enough between 97-01. What I have noticed is that in 2003 it was absolutely diabolical and until march/april 2008 it became extremely good better than anything since these days. I salute Jon for this effort as he obviously listened to the fans and did something about it which is really honourable as he did not need to as people would have gone to see him anyway. When you listen to him singing always in 2003 its beyond painful.

what im really getting at is, do you think his voice was shit since 2000+ until Lost highway in comparison to 80's and especially between 94-96 and how come it is so polished now? Is it a lot better than say crush era and if it is which it certainly seems to be can he maintain this for the next tour and if so does he really see a vocal coach. i just find it difficult to imagine Jon with a vocal coach.

Sorry to drone on just really want to know what others think!
