Dream Theater is my favorite band, but man, the vocals in their live shows are bad,... I'm probably gonna' get reamed out for saying that, but it's true.
That being said, I've never been to a concert before and I'd love to see DT.
@chiborib0 I've heard he's gotten a lot better. I agree he sucks major donkey-balls during this chorus. Seeing them 25:th of January 2013 so I'll tell you how it sound!
@chiborib0 It varies. Sometimes his singing is better than in the studio, and sometimes...it's like this. Check out Raise the Knife from the Score DVD, and Trial of Tears from Live in Budokan to see some of LaBrie's best live performances.
Good to see *SOME* people recognize the challenge of being a vocalist and not taking shots while sitting on their ass watching performances. LaBrie has an extremely tough role: Many keys/modes, (unlike countless rock/metal singers who sing in less than 3 keys), wide range of melodies, many parts that are high even for a tenor... And the melodies are generally written FOR HIM to sing.. And his vox are way on top of the mix and un-effected! Considering, he's pretty badass
Personally, i don't like James Labrie performance in this video, it's really out of the song!! And in my opinion Jordan Rudess first solo is not so good.. i could prefer that he could play that piece of song as he did in the studio version! It would be really really better!!! But they really are gods of music, and i'm really sorry that Portnoy has left the band! :(
@JCesarDT labrie sucks on verses pre verses chorus pre post everything!!! LABRIE SUCKS IN LIVE PERFORMANCE... AND IN THE STUDIO USE AUTOTUNE MOST OF THE TIME...i would sell my soul and give labrie in exchange for portnoy
@leonorhdez there is actually minor use of autotune in the studio for labrie. though you wouldnt know what a real voice without autotune sounds like because your latest five favorited vids are Beyonce Joe Jonas LMFAO and Rihanna. i dont even know why your watching DT? Also i wouldnt sell your soul over a band. at that point your not a fan your straight up DT's bitch haha. Thanks for the comment tho! I do enjoy a good laugh!:)
This song reminds me of Porcupine Tree...the atmosphere, the drumming... one of my favorites of DT for sure. Not nearly as good as the album version though
@killerchassis What the fuck are you saying? Go listen to the solo of hollow years live at budokan or lines in the sand, then we see who have no soul.
i love this song!! has been swirling in my head for days. y'all know this came out on "6 degrees" right? the only vocalist that LaBrie ever tries to sound like is himself. And, for anyone who went to see DT live on the "Chaos in Motion" tour, you would know that the set list was VERY demanding vocally. If he isn't exactly spot on, i could find it in my heart not to be so critical. He is amazing!
@luckyluke193 because its true. it was a7x fans that started the hating in the first place. no one cares any more, look right below the comment... 5 months ago. its over let it go
its funny that people say jlb gets worse and worse and state that the chaos in motion tour were among his worst performances yet actually he sounded very good on the black clouds and silver linings tour
A tear is literally brought to my eye every time I listen to the 0:00 to 0:21 segment. That sweeping note JR hits at the end of that "shred" is just... epic.
This song, not necessarily this performance, proves that DT will be perfectly fine without MP in the band. The collaboration between rudess and petrucci will make the future of DT a great place to be. Portnoy will always be my favorite drummer, but he ditched my favorite band. What can ya do?
@rushsubdivisions Well, they probably couldn't. But that's because they're a metal band, not a a progressive band. 2 different styles of music. Plus, A7X wouldn't do a progressive song because most of the time, progressive isn't that good, and they wouldn't want to do a progressive song anyway.
@StylishStar88 and yet Portnoy wanted to continue with them, but they rejected him. and then after that, he tries to rejoin Dream Theater. i love Portnoy as a drummer, but i cant respect him anymore on how hypocritical he is
@DylanEVH he probably got bored of noodling around on the drums at home all day, every day by himself. but i think that he really took Dream Theater for granted; he didn't know what he had until he lost it, so he wanted to rejoin. i guess we all have to learn that lesson some way and MP just needed the first hand experience to get it.
@AquinasofAwesome I think MP thought he was *IN* with AX7 but had enough control of DT that they'd give him his 18 months+ if something were to happen... but JLB, JM & JR actually grew a spine and when Ax7 saw the terrible mess Portnoy made by his comments to the media they rethought keeping him on at least as a "Touring Member", nevermind bringing him into the band. Portnoy clearly saw his "plan" backfire and saw rejoining fail when the band decided they liked The Spine and would keep it. ;-).
@rushsubdivisions Don't. He could. Of course, I'm being to mean about this, you're probably just jealous of him cause you can't play guitar worth a shit. Its ok to be jealous, but it gets you nowhere.
@dumbdrummer95 so let me get this straight... you think because that i believe that sinister gates cant play john petrucci's guitar solo that im jealous of him? i fully admit sinister gates can out play me by a long shot. but is it necessary to tell me i cant play guitar "worth a shit"? i didnt even mention my guitar playing in this so why is that even an issue? when you want to act like adults and talk like one you let me know. until then there is no point in having this conversation with you.
@rushsubdivisions That is true. You didn't bring your guitar playing up. I didn't really need to say that. I really am sorry. Plus, you're probably right, Syn may be good, but John is a better guitarist. Its just that on this song, its seems kind of simplistic for John to be playing. I usually expect him to be playing something more complex. But, John could kick Syn's ass in a guitar battle any day, and sadly is a fact. John has had more years of experience and he went to a college of music.
@StylishStar88 :D:D you're right mate..i just want to bring out the fact that DT plays progressive music and A7X straight metal/hard rock..u really cant compare them ;( just like these unnecessary battles here in youtube..like John Petrucci vs. Santana etc.
@DrkLh so what reaction were you expecting? me to swear or tell you to burn in hell? nope. you can say what you want to say but all i have to do is click one button and the comment is deleted... what ever floats your boat.
Its dissapointing JLB sounds so lackluster, because the tracklist on Chaos in Motion is the best of their live albums imo. I know he can sound good when he wants to; I saw DT live a couple months ago and James sounded spectacular. If you are shooting a DVD wouldn't you make sure you are performing your best? idk...
@redsledgehammer4085 I know you posted this 4 months ago, but still. I dont agree completely, if you look at some other songs like scarred or lines in the sand he does sound amazing. A singer can not perform at his best all the time, it would ruin your voice completely. Rememter this dvd is recorded through different concerts. Still agree he could do better in this song. Peace
@kevintje82onboard I understand that a singer is going to have some off nights where he isn't doing his best, but for A LIVE DVD (especially if you are recording a bunch of shows and using only the songs you performed best of), seriously. Normally i figure bands push themselves to perform their best when recording for a live dvd.
@Deathz0r94 don't get me wrong, i love JLB, i saw DT live last summer or something and he was awesome. It doesn't seem like he tried during that live video though. You'd think he would if it was being filmed for a live dvd
@redsledgehammer4085 I do think that it's just with how long they toured and how little sleep I assume they got compared to the number of shows probably didn't help him out.
I really do not know why Mike picked this Blind Faith Version for the Release.
He once said that he basically used his Footage from his DVD´s at home to create this Chaos in Motion Package. I mean you can clearly hear that the front of house guy had a bad day, or the acoustic of the venue was shitty. But aside of that: James normally doesn´t sound like singing through his nose! Everyone should´ve noticed that!
I think this is totally soundmans fault. And a bad Portnoy DVD Choice.
whoever mixed the audio should be ashamed of this. All I hear are vocals and drums. Why is it sound guys love to CRANK live vocals? When the vocals are too loud it sucks ALL of the energy out of the music. Granted, in person the mix probably sounded a lot better but this is something that happens constantly with live performances. It drives me nuts.
@SJP444 To ad to my previous comment I've noticed that amateur recording studios also have a habit of making vocals wayyyyyy too loud in the mix. When you're dealing with rock music the guitars need to be loud and the vocals need to be "tucked" somewhat. Otherwise you get a really lifeless sound and unless you have to vocal power of a Janis Joplin, the vocals will lose steam as well.
@rushsubdivisions No, He's right, his voice is off. Your just so stuck up your own ass that you cant realize that LaBrie Got lazy onstage that recording.
His voice annoys me a little in this one- but you gotta think after 20-30 years of belting it out hed lose something eventually- regardless the rest of this dvd was amazing and this song still gives me euphoria
@rodsbrown Who the fuck are you motherfucker. Shut your goddamned cocksucking mouth and find a better hobby than trolling the comment board for a band that shits more talent than your sorry waste of fucking space. Go rot and die somewhere so the world can be rid of your filth. FUCK OFF!!!!
@DANGILBERT03 NO! Bari A tuning. REALLY low campared to standard tunging. 6 half steps lower. Very low tuning. He uses amazingly thick strings for this song (13,17,24p,36,48,66) Hope that helped!
Well I'd consider myself as to be one of the greatest [xD]James LaBrie fans ever but I must admit that the CiM DVD was the worst in terms of James' performance...unfortunately! He was still good though! If only they would make a DVD of this tour because he rocks so much now!
I love the way James performs in CiM even though it's not his best, yet he performs abilities and it's an awesome DVD. Unfortunately an official DVD won't be released for this tour, maybe the next tour, where James would kick even more asses.
thank you xD! Hell yeah he will kick some serious ass. Can't wait for his new solo album and a solo tour again! Would make next year that much sweeter!
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love LaBrie, but he's been losing his ability to sing live as well as he did before. Each concert I go to I believe is worse than the one before. I don't know, maybe is my frustration of seeing how the rest of the band are still on top form and LaBrie is not.
This is so much better than the studio version in so many ways it's unbelievable

Petrucci is looking more and more like Conan The Barbarian. IF you subscribed to guitarcenter you see what I mean.

@rushsubdivisions No, He's right, his voice is off. Your just so stuck up your own ass that you cant realize that LaBrie Got lazy onstage that recording.

His voice annoys me a little in this one- but you gotta think after 20-30 years of belting it out hed lose something eventually- regardless the rest of this dvd was amazing and this song still gives me euphoria

DANGILBERT03 2 years ago
@DANGILBERT03 NO! Bari A tuning. REALLY low campared to standard tunging. 6 half steps lower. Very low tuning. He uses amazingly thick strings for this song (13,17,24p,36,48,66) Hope that helped!
K1DUDE911 2 years ago
no, he is using a baritone guitar (or bass guitar) in standard A. One of the most low tuning

Well I'd consider myself as to be one of the greatest [xD]James LaBrie fans ever but I must admit that the CiM DVD was the worst in terms of James' performance...unfortunately! He was still good though! If only they would make a DVD of this tour because he rocks so much now!
lafree 2 years ago 2
The world needs more people like you :)
I love the way James performs in CiM even though it's not his best, yet he performs abilities and it's an awesome DVD. Unfortunately an official DVD won't be released for this tour, maybe the next tour, where James would kick even more asses.
RockRulez124 2 years ago
thank you xD! Hell yeah he will kick some serious ass. Can't wait for his new solo album and a solo tour again! Would make next year that much sweeter!

yea i hear i hes back, is he really doing that good? is he like the way he used to be (see what i did there) or is he just doing better than normal?

DT needs to find someone with the same tone as LaBrie but without screwing the songs live.

I hope he'll never get out of Dream Theater
vera881 2 years ago 32
I mean, don't get me wrong, I love LaBrie, but he's been losing his ability to sing live as well as he did before. Each concert I go to I believe is worse than the one before. I don't know, maybe is my frustration of seeing how the rest of the band are still on top form and LaBrie is not.
