This Polish guy logs on as well and posts a comment about Jared being less of a better singer than Gerard, which in my opinion, me loving both bands, I don't agree on.

Just for the record Gerard Way is an absolutely great singer. And I love the man for what he's done for me. I'm a huge fan of MCR. Let's get that outta the way. But in all honesty Jared Leto's voice is way more trained than Gerard's. His vocal chords are much more developed and his vibratto is on key, which Gerard is still having a tough time working on. Not trying to start conflict.
But...when I hear someone say that someone is better than someone else at a certain thing when clearly they're not, I've gotta put my two cents in cause I grew up with singing my whole life, and I can tell you now Jared's much more able in singing than Gerard.

Finally some interesting comment, not a "fuck off, asshole" type of comment. Im a guitarist and backup singer in my band. I havent had problems singin in such conditions, ha! i even think the more i warmup my voice, the better it gets. I havent really had a moment where the voice just "drained" out. Still, i thikn that Jared's voice is a little overrated compared to the studio records...

Right, that's your own opinion, and I respect that.
But here's mine:
Gerard has a unique voice in his own, and I love that about him because he changes it up and gives himself variety. But with the records of 30stm Jared has his own too. But there's also no point in trying to change up your vocals in order to be different, than anyone else.
Being originial is an understatement for the mere fact that EVERYONE nowadays copies each other. Inspiration, motivation, etc. Look at bands like Panic at the Disco, Fall out boy, Hawthrone Heights, etc. 98.3% of those male rock vocalists sound the exact same, with the high pitched vocals and the screamo. But Jared and Gerard are completely different, niether of their music in my opinion can fall into the category of 'unoriginal'... because ask yourself what band hasn't just made music video after music video that took place in a dark setting with just the band playing their instruments through-out the estimated 3:40 minutes of the song? MCR, and 30stm.
MCR, for the fact that I'm not Okay takes place in a school, Helena in a church etc.
30 Seconds to Mars for the fact that From Yesterday was directed by Jared himself in China. And The Kill also directed by him in a haunted hotel, each with their own unique plot. Both those bands, hardly speaking of break-ups in 99% of their songs like most rock vocalists.

Yes, they both are very different bands indeed, MCR and 30STM both represent something pretty original material. (would be a little doubtful about MCR but lets continue) U said there is no point in "changing" ur vocals to sound more original or for any other purpose... oh yes there is - like profit. (Btw Jared has a really hard time with vamping)

Let's look at No Doubt.
Gwen Stefani has made it huge changing her vocals.
But it never damaged her singing ability, with the use of your diaphragm, a natural vibratto, etc.
Gerard Way has gotten great at that since bullets, but that's all it is...right there.
SINCE bullets, because that was how his voice was all along, he didn't HAVE to change it around. It's like growing up in England, and moving to America at age 6, you won't have an English accent because you brought up around American's with their own accent at such a young age.
If Jared all of a sudden starts to change his vocal style, giving it a heavier or lighter, whichever, tone...it'll damage his vocal chords because he isn't used to it. He must TRAIN it beforehand for a while, at least three months, you can't just dive right into having a completely different voice at certain times in the song.

A debate? Maybe. Will he win? No.
Don't start an arguement with me when I know what I'm speaking of...because you will lose.
