I like LaBrie. It wouldn't be the same without him. When I listen to the first album, I put on the Reunite live version, because it just doesn't sound the same to me with Dominici. I don't know why so many hate James. I'd be much more sad if he left than when MP did
If you guys only knew... I knew James when he was younger playing the bars in Toronto ... His name is not James. The last time we were together we were riding a street car on St.clair Ave ... 1988
@snowchick84 He doesnt lip sync on stage. The live performance videos of tours are compiled of the video from many different nights (john petrucci has many guitars switch in one song if you pay attention, since they are different nights). The audio however is taken from one concert, and what may appear as lip syncing is the timing being off between the audio of one performance and the video of another.
@Xenorex247 I suspect that the higher key is a result of tape speed as opposed to an actual change in the performance key. There's a lot of open E string vamping on the second verse of this song, and I doubt they would have tuned the bass and guitar up to F open for the sake of one song. Though I'm sure James could have done it naturally anyways back in those days, haha.
Just imagine the tons of magic music we would never have heard if James Taxi to that audition would have had a breakdown half the way or something like that.... :-)
Idk where balerinauzicka is getting this whole DT fans are pretentious asses. I'd even go further and say the way you try, and i do mean just try, to make a satire about a DT fan's POV only serves to identify you as a pretentious dick that has some issues other than who likes DT that you need to work out. Also just for the sake of clarification, I like Nirvana and anything that brings forth an authentic artistic manipulation of our senses in order to produce a "vibe" if you will.
I think it's been transposed because it's been sped up somehow. The riff right at the end is soo mcuh faster than the orginal. This is sooo friggin' awesome though!
It sounds so effortless, like it's something he could rip out at any given moment... I've gotta be super warmed up to even hope to hit something close to that cleanly on a perfect vocal day. What an amazing singer....
Why they bothered to change the song at all form this is beyond me. It's the perfect closer, and it's especially effective because of the slight speed up in tempo. Plus, LaBrie's voice somehow sounds even more epic. Perfect closer to the album.
Even with the inherently low quality I can't stop listening to this clip because I love the singing "harmony"-style thing that goes on after the F# during the solo that ONLY seems to be in this tape. Too bad he doesn't (or perhaps... can't? heh) do that more often!
I would take Kevin Moore over La Brie any day of the week, not as a singer, of course, but if I could choose over who stays and who goes. On IAW, however, LaBrie was great. Rest of his vocal performances are rather unimpressive.
@agusique correct me if i'm wrong: you do not do spoken reading of scores. (I do not know how to call it :D, i mean, when you READ a score, without singing or playing, just naming the notes)
When you have to read triplets of 32 and things like that, using the A-G method is a suicide :D
guys... i think that note in not a F# it's a G!! so it's even higher... some one check that... I noticed that when I sang learning to live and then this. It seemed to be higher...
@JohnThePetru According to "Keyboad Anthology" (a book of keyboard scores of dream theater, that comes with the voice scores as well) it's F# G# A, A B C#, C# E F#
@JohnThePetru You're right man ! On this video the notes are : G A Bb Bb C D D F and G(5).
But the other guys aren't wrong : in the studio version, the notes are : F# G# A A B C# C# E and F# (5).
Why this change on performance of this video ? Because the song was transposed, and if Labrie sang the studio version, it would be terrified and horrible.
@MaxViti lol, you think they actually learned the song in one key and completely relearned it in another? no, they didn't. this is called analog taping, when it runs through several mediums (re-recording to digital format as it did), it gets altered. tapes change pitch easily...this tape could've been hot, cold, or simply played at a slightly faster speed..the slightest change in speed would bump the pitch up a half step.
@MistaMarko yes you may be right. But if Johns (Myung and Petrucci) tune their guitars (bass for Myung) 1/2 tones higher, the song can be played with the same fingering and sounds half step higher. (For keys : there is one all of good keyboard a "transpose" button).
Transposition is used a lot by other bands in live (Metallica for example)
@MistaMarko Oh at first, I thought that they changed the tune of their instrument because they were playing several songs and had not enough gear at the moment to play the song in the original tune.
But yeah, after reflexion, your idea seems the good one ;). (and your band seems good xD :D but i ask a studio update for keys ... ?)
@MaxViti No studio update for keys, but check our album trailer we just released 2-3 days ago! Newest video on Tetrafusion's channel! Hope you enjoy. -Mark
@MaxViti There's no point at tuning the guitar 1/2 higher in this song... someone does it in classical guitar, with the capotasto, but it's mainly used for classical guitar, in this kind of song they don't use open chords that needs open strings at 1/2 higher.. I think MistaMarko is right, it is not the first time that happens something like this, with an old tape :)
I'm just gonna go out of my way and say that after listening to Labries voice (UNDENIABLY) come back to its prime state during the Prog Nation 09 tour, He has solidified his place as one of the greatest TRUE rock vocalists in the history of contemporary music. The man is fuckin amazing and can probably at this time sing this song while taking his morning shower. Its just amazing to me that at this age he was able to finally get his vocals up to nearly the same level they were in during his 20s.
Totally, it took a long time, but on the '09 tour he was perfect, better than he'd been in years, sounded just as good when I saw DT in August as he did in 1992.
yeah that's probably what happened, the ensemble i'm in had a similar problem with the song Hot Hot Hot(yeah i don't like it that much either lol). the beginning hits an E instead of an F i think. it throws some of us off a bit sometimes.
I agree! It's so awesome that Led Zeppelin went back in time so they could use just F# octaves for the first part of Immigrant Song and Tom Morello used F# octaves for bulls on parade!
@keyboardarctica Oh yeah? "Look at me, I am Dream Theater fan, i like music theory, I hate Nirvana, oh I am musicaly educated! Fuck all those songs who are under 5 minutes, I play keyboards, and I listen jazz fusion, because that is best music, woo." So what? AM I Dream Theater fan now?
@balerinauzicka When did I say it was math? All I said is you should know that it's a note.. Just by reading this movies title... I think anybody (almost obviously) could understand that..
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
James Labrie used to be AMAZING like you hear on this. but once he joined DT, thy told him he had to yell more and grunt a bit to make the band sound more metal, that was the start of him ruining his voice. Then in 95 he puked up God knows what, and that scared his vocal chords...he can still sing, but not as good as back on this. and he CANT reach that F# anymore
He can, or at least could in 07. Listen to I&W 15th anniversary. He also reached higher tones over the last...4 years (not in studio, though Octavarium in studio has a F#, and a G# in Score).
I didn't know they told him to yell when he joined o-o, lol.
yup your right, but the recorder is a bad recorder. it modulated the actual sound and bumped it a half step. he is actually singin an f# but it doesnt sound like it.
The Octavarium scream is also an F#5. Live, he goes up to a G5 sometimes.
I know its a F#5, because its the same pitch as the Learning to Live F#5.
Funnily enough, for anyone out there that can do the F#5, here's a nice task for you. Go down to the sound manager, and turn the pitch up. Now match it. I can JUST manage it at highest pitch, which becomes a C6. Damn hard to hit, though.
Loooool...Lipsync??? Loooool...u obviously dont go to a lot of DT shows...Btw, la brie can hit the F# now. And here he sang like the old days, maybe you should get a life and stop posting on every youtube vid thats bout labrie.
it varies from person to person. And if labrie hasnt allways used his voice the right way at every performance it will get damaged, temporarily or permanently.

It probably wasn't sped up. LaBrie hit higher stuff than the F#, also than G. and that note isn't a G, it is higher than F#5 though.

The Octavarium scream is also an F#5. Live, he goes up to a G5 sometimes.
I know its a F#5, because its the same pitch as the Learning to Live F#5.
Funnily enough, for anyone out there that can do the F#5, here's a nice task for you. Go down to the sound manager, and turn the pitch up. Now match it. I can JUST manage it at highest pitch, which becomes a C6. Damn hard to hit, though.

He wrote 'Prophets of War' which is pretty good, and he can still sing, and he's not that fat

He wrote Sacrificed Sons - which is way better than Prophets of War

2:09: the note that got him hired, he used to be a better singer, but he ruptured his vocal chords, the fact he can still sing is suprising

evident in choas in motion? Labrie sounds really quite horrible in a lot of choas in motion.

Actually, I agree, he doesn't sound too great on much of CiM. Which begs the question as to why he'd be lip-synching with a bad sound, anyway.

thats not really an excuse...look at jon anderson of yes for example, he is well past the prime of his life and still singing strong.
TheWhiteUnicorn 2 years ago
it varies from person to person. And if labrie hasnt allways used his voice the right way at every performance it will get damaged, temporarily or permanently.
DGMRuadeil 2 years ago
His performances aren't as good because he ruptured his vocal chords in December of '94. Not age.
edthehead83 2 years ago 7
Yeah, he can still hit the F#, but it'll slowly kill his voice.
theclash06013 2 years ago
He definitely still hits the F#5 in full voice. But he's actually topped that. He hits a G5 or G#5 in Octavarium.
ProgHead777 2 years ago
What part of Octavarium does he do a G in. I cant remember. Thanks.
