I saw this tour. I spent half the dream theater set flipping labrae off. Its amazing to me how one man can totally fucking ruin an otherwise great band like dream theater. I hate this prancing faggot. Opeth stained themselves with this nonsense.
Im a drummer. I think the best skills of Lopez were in this kind of songs, the mellow songs, If all of you were drummers you would really apreciate the fills and the feeling behind his playing, I really love one fill in particular and that fill is in this song 0:30 , is just amazing what Lopez did. Axenrot is really good drummer too, but you see the diference more clearly in the mellow songs, the playing of axenrot is very regular and Lopez keep you always expecting, thats why I love Lopez.
@DevouredByThem I KNOW, i understand that people are upset that martin left but regaurdless axe is a really fucking good drumer, people just always have to find a reason to bitch dont they......
wait wait..im A DIE HARD dream theater fan and i will never say a bad thing about Opeth or Mikael because im aware they are AMAZING FUCKING AWESOME.My two favorite bands ever. Period.
Don't start a comparison argument from this but the only time I can enjoy labrie (i.e. listen without 'cringing' ) is when i am listen to dream theater-live at the marquee.
On a more positive note, this has to be a close third as far as most awesome things I've seen this year, second being the Shattered Fortress mash-up and first being DT and Maiden together in concert.
Speaking of, to anyone who saw the Phoenix show-I'm sorry for screeching in your ears during Number of the Beast. I really, really am. ;)
See, this is what I fucking hate about Youtube-you can't put two different musicians, bands, what have you, together in a video without a bunch of people coming out and starting retarded arguments over which is better.
I remember everybody having a big laugh when Mikael said that they had written a new song and it was called "Mike Portnoy Is A Fucking Bitch"! Haha! Great times, great show.
@TheOrangeFondler of course i got, you say like akderfelt has any kind of skill Technically that labrie doesnt, it's like , hey i like Iron maiden better then i dont know, some jazz shit,if its your opinion,i got no problem, but you said like it was the truth
I think, James is a great singer from a technical point of view, but he lacks feeling in general. He did a very good job on that last chorus, though, so I might have to reconsider my opinion.
@subslaytanic I think you should reconsider your opinion. In some of the DT classics he has such a great feeling in is voice in addition to being technically brilliant, he is really a great singer!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
LaBrie could never hope to create the kind of ambience Akerfeldt does with his voice. Also I see that DT fans are still fanboys that think all the past present and future DT members fart petunias. Prog Snobs that don't even get that there's way better stuff out there. Images and Words was a great album though. Anyhow, Opeth beats DT every time.
Guys both James and Mikael are great singers. They both practice different styles so stop trying to say which one is better. James can do incredible highs while Mikael does some of the best death growls I have ever heard and still can do amazing clean vocals. Plus both of them are in two of the greatest bands ever. So really stop bitching like a bunch of tween girls arguing over which Jonas brother is hotter and listen to the good music.
akerfeldt, though, has an amazing voice imo... his clean vocals are really mesmerizing and his growling is just fuckin badass...
he does have a few minor vocal slip-ups live at time but thats forgiveable since it is a lot harder to sing while playing guitar, and he does an amazing job at it
lastly.. akerfeldt is a top-grade lyricist and songwriter and i cant imagine labrie's solo stuff coming anywhere near that level
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
okay, so labrie can sing on key and hit the notes... ill give him that... i love dream theater and a lot of their songs but sometimes when labrie goes all high pitched it just pisses me off... just the overall tone of his voice or something is unappealing to me... and i havent heard any of his solo stuff, but im pretty sure he hasnt written any of dream theaters song (maybe like parts of 1 or 2)
I like Mikaels voice better than James, but in this vid james did a very very good job. I don't know why so many people complain about James voice, for me James is a incredible singer, he has not this soft, wonderful "Mikael-Voice", but still i think he is an overall better singer.
I've always thought James LaBrie was the luckiest singer on earth to be surrounded by musicians of the caliber of Dream Theater. It's like a magician doing sleight-of-hand tricks, in a way. The magician does something to distract you with one hand and the other does the sneaky stuff. With DT, the band does so many amazing things you really don't notice the subpar singing. Now here he is with the best all-around live band out there. And no one is wanking out 128th notes to distract. BUSTED.
that is a stupid comment (not saying you are stupid - just the comment), but if anything James is being busted for being a great singer because his voice stands out over the laid back music. He sang it flawlessly... loud, clear, and in tune.
Akerfeldt with always be a better singer/musician than LaBrie. LaBrie is always meek sounding and his corny vibrato is super annoying...and listen to that skill at 4:15 hahaha. Akerfeldt has passion and skill both vocally and musically. He writes EVERYTHING for Opeth. LaBrie is just a sub par vocalist who doesn't even write his own material.
åkerfeldt is an amazing singer, but anyone would be foolish not to admit that he was out of key on some notes and further more that james labrie was completely in key in every note he sang.
I won't argue any other points because most of it is strictly opinion.
I like LaBrie, he has an awesome voice... but the falsettos he does are way too exagerated. I've heard hundred of DT live performances, and he really messes up sometimes.
For example in Score he start singing in a awesome way but little by little he get tired and his vocal quality decay. After the orchestra's Ouverture, he's back in form but in Metropolis, he is tired again and messes up some parts.
My point is that maybe he must limit a little his voice.
Wow, he's really clear in songs like this. He isn't trying to over-extend his vocal chords and he's staying around a range which doesn't make him sound as though he's straining himself.
James is at his best right now since the early 90's when he was his absolute best. Very few singers out there can still even challenege him and win. There are some, but James is still great and is the man for DT.
is very nice to see two of the most awesome bands ins the world DT and Opeth rule!!!!!!
La Brie is the man, some people say that he sucks, isn't true I guess that people who say that can't sing the half he can, he is DT voice and he deserves respect, is a God just like Myung, Portnoy, Petrucci and Rudess. I'm a DT fan and of course a progressive maniac!!!!!! music is life!!!!!!
Outstanding, the vids blurry, so it kinda looks like labrie is wearing jean shorts lol, not very rock and roll, but still just proves that labrie is a good singer, i hate when people say he sucks live when they never went and saw him live.
LaBrie is the best! And for those of you complaining: I doubt you could sound anywhere near as good. And you didn't even ruputure your vocal cords like him!
Have you tried reading DT's book ? They discuss all of the issues they have over-come from the start. They were going to kick James Labrie out because of his gross performance during the 6 Degrees Tour. Labrie's vocals were at best in the early 90's because he damaged his vocal chords from throwing up for a week straight with REALLY bad food poisoning and his tone was never the same.
no they are at their best right now..some of his performanes wre inded shit in the late 90's early 2000 but last cople albums and tours he has been spot
That's like Petrucci losing some fingers and still playing. Incredible effort. If you can't respect that, you have no respect for yourself. Great comment.
Yes, indeed. And on youtube there are videos of him kicking out fans from stage, being agressive, falling and all that stuff, ALL FROM THAT TOUR. They really were thinking about kicking him out.
That is exactly the opposite of truth. James wanted to leave but the rest of the band really pushed him to stay. He was getting depressed but they agreed there is no one else that would create the DT sound.
That because Dream Theater uses very advance type of singing that even he can't sing him self. If you listen to Dream Theater covers of Pink Floyd or hear him sing in Ayreon it's totally different from his Dream Theater vocals.
He writes in the style that he could sing back before the food poisoning. Doctors said he would never get his high range back. He proved them wrong. I give him my support.
First of all I'd like to state I'm a huge Opeth and Dream Theater fan; but the vocals in Opeth are much easier than Dream Theater's for the majority of their singing material.
That is exactly the mood Opeth is trying to achieve though, he wants it to sound minimalistic and effortless.
I enjoy both and have great respect for Michael and James.
i would have loved to see these 2 bands play together. i've been a dt fan for a long time but i just recently got into opeth. they are fucking bad ass though!!!!!!!!!
It's nice to see that when LaBrie contributes on an Opeth song, fans are appreciative, presumably because people who listen to DT and Opeth are intelligent, and they don't throw pathetic insults a each other. They're both ridiculously awesome singers and bands, and their talent is exhibited fantastically right here.
Mike Portnoy stated on the offical forums of the Prog Nation site that there would be another one in 2009. I just hope they bring Opeth back for the next PN tour :D
Sounds a hell of a lot better than LaBrie does with DT

For some reason, I'm starting to think that labrie sings this song better than he does in some dream theater songs
buckethearrocks 3 years ago
That because Dream Theater uses very advance type of singing that even he can't sing him self. If you listen to Dream Theater covers of Pink Floyd or hear him sing in Ayreon it's totally different from his Dream Theater vocals.

He writes in the style that he could sing back before the food poisoning. Doctors said he would never get his high range back. He proved them wrong. I give him my support.

First of all I'd like to state I'm a huge Opeth and Dream Theater fan; but the vocals in Opeth are much easier than Dream Theater's for the majority of their singing material.
That is exactly the mood Opeth is trying to achieve though, he wants it to sound minimalistic and effortless.
I enjoy both and have great respect for Michael and James.

Well, I have to disagree with that some.
I agree, it's hard as hell to hit the notes that James hits, but it's just as hard to hit those really low growl notes that Mikael hits.

LaBrie may have a somewhat grating high register. But when he sings the mellower stuff, he is fantastic.

Lol, you are a fool. If you don't like LaBrie why, pray, would you click on a video which says "in my time of need with james labrie"??

LaBrie is singing very soft and toned down in this. I think he sounds wonderful. I really prefer it to his high singing.

It's nice to see that when LaBrie contributes on an Opeth song, fans are appreciative, presumably because people who listen to DT and Opeth are intelligent, and they don't throw pathetic insults a each other. They're both ridiculously awesome singers and bands, and their talent is exhibited fantastically right here.

Mike Portnoy stated on the offical forums of the Prog Nation site that there would be another one in 2009. I just hope they bring Opeth back for the next PN tour :D
