Raspy vox, with old time high end for me.

I honestly prefer the balance between his rawness and his more "Strays-era" voice. So I think I love the 97-2003 period.

The bootlegs from 90-91 are amazing in terms of wildneress and having that "punk spirit", but the screams were sometimes not in the right place, and his voice got strained easily.

As almost any singer with his pitch, he lost a lot in terms of rawness. But around 2000, he also gained a lot in terms of having a more "pro" singing voice. I love that balance between natural talent + experience.

Hi voice was good at the La Cita comeback show in 2008. Trip Away in particular: https://youtu.be/r69d9ZBJqn0?t=222

He went completely old-school with his delay/effects that night so I'd say my enjoyment of his performance is as much about his set-up as it is his voice.

His voice was good from 86 to 96. He thought he could make it better with strays but it was not better it was him selling out. he dropped the perry farrell kid voice and put in a generic rock voice that soon went to lounge crap very quick. I agree the effects he used to add were a necessary part of the perry farrell vocal sound he no longer is able to reproduce due to etty.

I love all his vocals on SYTBS. That was the first time I remember thinking his voice had really changed. But the maturation didn't hurt. Such an underrated album.

If he had stuck with that style and not tried to become Bono, there could have been some really songs over the past 20 years.

I really thought after GGU and Enit that he'd age sort of like Wayne Coyne instead of Joan Rivers.

That's so offensive to Joan Rivers. At least Joan was still kind of funny! :scared:

Sounds like his usual output.

It will always be so difficult for me to comprehend how someone that made such wonderfully strange music for so long can make such unremarkable music now.

Even a song like Cook the Rice is infinitely more interesting than crap like this, because no matter what he was singing about back then it felt like it was coming from somewhere interesting and authentic.

It doesn't sound bad to me that 5 second clip. Perry can still get some great collaborators like Elliot Easton.

Yup.
I would take p4p filler, p4p b-sides over the best of what dongle-farts Perri-Etty put out.
Pete's Dad I didn't like a lot when it came out, listened back to the studio version and just the last 30 seconds sounds like the direction they might have been going on a Good Gods follow up, is mixed right, drums and vocals good.
