I understand you guys wanna be consistent here on the forum but you have to admit Joey did a fucking great job on "Only". I actually find it striking how close he gets to the original....seriously

I don't mind if they did "Only" and "Room For One More", those are kickass songs which still somewhat relate to what they did on POT. joey can sing those songs as he's just proven that....

most likely to mosh
that was really hard to hear... having said that, I withhold judgement
I never liked Bush singing joey tunes really. Sounded wrong, this could be that in reverse. But I wont hold that against Joey at all. You cannot expect singers in different ranges to sing the same.

It sounds different as it should. an Apple versus an Orange. However...listening to it i swore it was Matt Barlow of Iced Earth up there on stage
Sounded like Steve Perry sucking.
It sounds like he's trying too hard to lower his voice. I bet it wouldve sounded much better if he had done it in a higher pitch. BTW that has to be the friendliest pit I've ever seen.

Damn I can't believe I just heard this. I won't see he sung it better or worse than John, but I must say I think his voice sounds stronger now than it did on Alive 2. Hell yeah I'm pumped.
I haven't posted in a while but I'll say I'm a bush guy for the record. Joey has a great voice. He's a strong front man though the half mic stand needs to go. "Only" is the most noteable song I would guess from the Bush era and is been a live staple of their set forever. I've seen them countless times and for the exception of the reunion tour it's always been played.
All that said I think over a long enough time line Joey will figure this song out. He did the versus OK though at time sounded like he was trying to sound like John. I think for the chours he needs to take it up a step (pitch) and belt it.
For the die hard bush guys that didn't like his version, I get it. Keep in mind he hasn't performed this song as much as the rest of the band and it's not in his prefered register. There were some Joey era tunes that never sounded right with John singing. Belly of the Beast comes to mind.
For the die hard Joey guys who feel he is singing it better than John, well whatever. I can't imagine what Joey nut such blinders do to your ears but this is going to be a tougher song for him to sell.

Eventually he will, he still has to find his own unique groove with the song. As someone else said the more he does it and improvises certain things, etc the more he will "own" it and make it sound more natural
