  • Everyone makes fun of Labrie until they try to sing 1 dream theater song in its original key...:\

  • I love everything about Dream Theater, but their singer is shit...

  • @Orangemongoose1 yup.. i think they should be an instrumental band only

  • Can't listen to dream theater unless I find an instrumental version..

    Makes my ears bleed

  • I don't give a shit what all you lebrie lovers think. He's the worst vocalist on the face of the earth. They would've been better off hiring justin beiber. No I'm kidding. Nobodys as bad as justin beiber. But they should've replaced Lebrie LONG ago. Like back in 91 or whenever he started. He sucks. A lot. And if I haven't gotten my point across then that's too bad. Cause he's fricken terrible. And don't give me hate for having an opinion..... he's shit.

  • Oh trust me thats faaar from his worst moment! xD

  • You need to understand, that he is known for his singing. Had a major fuck up with his throat, and still performed to his best. That's better than any other 'musician' these days.

    Love you LaBrie.

  • @Eldeeff i know why portnoy left now. portnoy wanted to replace labrie with russel allen. petrucci said "no i need labrie's nasty ass falsetto vocals to cover up my dirty over gained soloing tone." Portnoy said "fuk this shit im outta here and fuk u! John Myung!!" John Myung turned around and replied "FOOK UH ME?! FOOK UH YOU!!!

  • @TheJeffum Wow, just a few things to tell you, Labrie hardly ever sings in a falcetto, and that is why he is so respected, also, Russel Allen can't sing hardly anything Labrie sang, and they started 20 years AFTER dream theater. No disrespect to them tho, they're a great band! Also, since when did John Petrucci use an over ganed sound for soloing???? And also! WHEN DOES MYUNG TALK?????

  • aaaaaaaaaaaaaa shhheeet jajajaja poor james XD

  • Goawanawwanwanawanwnanwannwawa­

  • I think not BAD ! 

  • I think his voice was gooooone when he sang are GGGOOOOOOAWWWWAAAOANEEEE

  • haha :) la brie ur the best :))) Lots of respect to you, no one can do what you do with your voice :) but this was hilarious ^_^

  • dont make fun of him, being the DT vocalist should be the hardest job in the world, and we just found 1 mistake

  • The only reason his vocals were like that because of some shrimp, no big deal, it didnt even sound that bad to be honest

  • this is his worst moment, and its not even that bad. which proves that he is a beast. though mike portnoy does get pissed each time labrie messes up XD

  • mike is soooooo piss off!! ajajahjahajhaj

  • drunken?! :D

  • @charliedominici Agreed.

  • at least this proves he's not an automaton

  • oh..so he IS human after all! \m/ All you self appointed "critics" go sing in the shower and leave the man alone. He is a great singer and a great person. I guess when you have no talent of your own the easiest way to feel connected to talented people is to bash them. Just wanna hear one of you sing sometime. \m/

  • during the interval of this show Labrie found out that his dad had suffered from a heart attack, allegedly

  • @RyanTF2 really?

    

  • meh it's still better than beiber

    

  • See, he is human! :)

  • I've never been a big fan of Dream Theater primarily due to Labrie but I saw them last month live and he nailed everything. His voice was strong and he was in key and spot on. He actually has a good voice but I don't think he has a good ear for writing melodies over complicated material like DT. John Arch would have been great.

  • This is probably the live concert after his throat surgery.

  • @NDF211Gunner yeap :(

  • lol

  • that's what they get for making a grown man sing such high octaves.... 

  • @suhlester High octaves?Fuck that is so easy!

  • @AXLPANOSROSE WHAT???

    

  • @alexnagel81 Hem...Yes it is!

  • Lolz

  • jajajajajajajajaj oh james james

  • that actually wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, He still... Somewhat got the note, but if I was James, Yeah that was a mess up haha

  • He's still better then 3/4 of u haters! Personally I like him

  • @diaphanoux You should have heard him during the Score concert.

  • James Labrie sux.

  • @MlKEPORNTOY so does ur mother!!!

  • real good singers can get tired too sometimes

  • Still better than that cover of Passage to Bangkok O.O

  • see him walk around, almost going for the water? yea he is pissed

  • Do you realize this is A Change Of Seasons?! Even if they were all out of key, it would still their greatest masterpiece

  • Labrie blows chunks. DT should have always had Geoff Tate as their singer.

  • OK found it. Check out Peruvian Skies high voltage 2011. Bad??? He's amazing!

  • ~but those daaayys....are GGGoOoOooOaawwWwaaaAAaooOoooaw­aAhhHhaaaaAnaooOoOoOWaaaAhUAAo­oOaannNNNNNNNN~

  • On the note, I can't stand seeing so many people attack him...it really makes me feel horrible. I know I'm silly, but I'm a fangirl who hates seeing someone being attacked for someone having a HUMAN VOICE--meaning bad days, good days, flawless days, ear bleeding days, etc. James is a far better person than all of you and that alone is enough to subdue me for now...

    "Judging someone doesn't define who THEY are, it defines who YOU are"

  • James Labrie sux.

  • I'm not an avid Dream Theater fan, but his supposed worst moment pwns all the pop shit out there.

  • ouch..

  • I'm sure he wasn't feeling well that day

  • I honestly get the feeling he does NO vocal exercises. He has to be better then this live, HAS to. 

  • WTF was that ? Oh my poor ears.... O.o

    Now, I hate Labrie even more...

  • @AlainHubert Yep, because one awful night should determine how much you hate someone. Makes perfect sense! Personally, I feel bad for James. He even make a mistake without people telling him how much they hate him!

  • @RowenaSpiteFoul

    I don't hate the guy personally, I hate the fact that he can't sing and has an annoying voice but still insist on pretending to be a professional singer. And yells out of key and destroys beautiful music anyway. I love DT, but I hate Labrie as their singer, is what I should have written.

  • @AlainHubert his voice was unbelievable before he ruptured his vocal cords. He really sucks cock now though

  • @AlainHubert yup

  • @AlainHubert Have you seen any recent footage? He sounds pretty good. He doesn't destroy anything.

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA­

  • Mike Portnoy gets pissed in the end. See the way he pushes his mike.

  • COOOAAAAAAAAIAAAAAAIHAAAH

  • he sings better slow parts, we all know it, just listen to the silent man or new track far from haven

  • Yikes!!!

    

  • hahaha that was pretty bad, but i love dream theater

  • idk labrie kind of seems like a douche

  • dream theater as so pointless - would anything in music change for the worse if they stopped playing "music"

  • @deathstarr1111 <--- TROLL ALERT

  • he can go higher. probably just a bad day

  • That was bad. BUT listen to his solo stuff and the new DT stuff. His range has lowered with age.

  • It wasn't that bad....

  • was it really THAT bad? it wasnt great but better 99% of anybody out there..

  • @03ScottyJ Not really men. Trust me, a lot of people can sing really good. The fact that they aren't on one big name band doesn't make the worse.

  • LaBrie should have been the band member to leave...............

  • @Rippershammer Why dont you go fuck yourself while listening Lady Gaga?

  • @MrMrEFE Prog metal is my favourite music on earth, but seriously Lady Gaga is a far superior singer to LaBrie. He's the only thing stopping me from liking Dream Theater.

  • @FinalFight323 Maybe she's got a superior technique, and a stronger voice. But that's not the point. The point is that every member in Dream Theater has a perspective of music much superior than many musicians. Lady Gaga between them. Maybe LaBrie is not the best singer NOW, but he has already contributed a lot to the history of music. Everybody will remember and even STUDY James LaBrie. Who's gonna study Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, Hannah Montana, all that "musican" made up by television?

  • @FinalFight323 lady gaga <<<<<<<<<<< james labrie. have you got an idea of what james labrie could do before rupturing his vocal cords, until '94? he could hit FULL A5 LIVE whenever he wanted. ah yeah, he did it also in '02 '06 & '07 but ok, lady gaga is far better.

    unsuccessful troll is unsuccessful. go listening to your pop shit, you are an offense to prog.

  • @soldatojoker85 >LaBrie's voice is irritating and grating beyond measure

    >calls me a troll

    >tells me to go back to "my pop shit" when a. I probably know prog better than you and b. Pop is enjoyable to listen to, anyone who disagrees is a pompous ass.

  • @FinalFight323 1. i find pop pathetic and annoying.

    2. you may not like his timbre but he is technically better (just talking about 20 years of opera training) than every pop poop you hear on mtv (find me a tenor who has d2 to unstrained a5 in full voice, even after a larynx damage).

    sorry for my english, anyway.

  • @FinalFight323 GAGA BETTER THAN LABRIE??? are u fucking stupid??? Lady Gaga is a fucking hermaphrodite with a shit voice compared to Labrie, sure he sounds really Canadian but his technique and range put her "i cant sing so im going to sell sex" notes to shit. Also just because people dont find pop enjoyable doesn't make them pompous, it's an internal filter for filtering out simple, overplayed and plain repetetive "music" from you know Originality, Talent and such

  • @FinalFight323 GAGA BETTER THAN LABRIE??? are u fucking stupid???

  • 0:21 looks like he says "haaaaaa help me!!!!!"

  • Hmm... This was right after his vocal cords ruptured, am I correct?

  • What did Labrie do wrong?

  • @SlugMenace He missed by... Well, alot.

  • those days are gone... like my "voices" :D

  • @dreamtheaterisbeast sorry...you would be surprised how many idiots there are on youtube which spam the whole day videos like this...i should have recognized you from your username :))

  • @dreamtheaterisbeast hahaha u so duuuuuumb lmaoo...

  • It's funny, because this video has more views than LaBrie's BEST live moment o.O

  • @dragoncrashhero12 Its because people love to see successful people fall rather than improve.Its a loser thing...

  • It started off bad, but he tried to fix it and he finished it strong...

  • It's not that bad... you try pulling that note off solidly throughout EVERY TIME!

  • LOL

  • how soul destroying would that be for labrie?

    ...ouch

  • @dreamtheaterisbeast wtf???got an idea what autotune is???

  • it just happen for any vocals. i dont understand this exhibition. if you can search, you can easily see Tate did same, it is not worst moment. it just happens. labrie is one of the best vocals in prog-world. and his range is really impressive. yes he lost some of this note because of aging, but doesn't matter.

  • and this is still better than avenged fagfold : DD

  • LoL this was awful. But they all kick ass.

  • who cares..... just wait for the magic to happen.They're DReam Theatre!! I've heard 10 times worse than this.

  • You think this is bad? He didn't do anything wrong! When I saw them in DALLAS, TX, he came out and yelled HOUSTON!!!

  • @job4cowboy94 HAHAHAHAHAHAHA this was at the iron maiden concert lmao

  • i love DT...they would have more success with their type of music without LaBrie there.

  • I hate DT because of this guy

  • ROFL

  • He was doing the voice-cracking teenage boy interpretation. Gotta mix it up!!!

  • how the F*CK a band that have such musical discipline kept that vocals for all these years is beyond belief. even singing the right notes hes terrible live! i love DT but most of the times im embarrassed to play an album in the house outloud

  • Thats to bad:/

  • I think the worst moment is in "another day" from live scenes from new york. His voice is totally f** up there

  • Worst moment?

    lol

    Better than any pop(shit) music I've heard.

  • it's alright if you only mess up once a decade.

  • this isnt his worst moment...trust me lololol

  • That's still better than half of the singers out there in the world today.

  • @MegaDoubleA not really.

  • Daamn! That was not healthy for my ears xD

  • omfg that really sucked, fortunately when i saw them live, was flawless

  • @ssnnaarree They really fixed his voice on the new album? You mean he's been autotuned to fuck, EQed and converted to death? Thank God, it might be listenable now.

  • oh fuck.....

  • ouch

  • every time he opens his mouth its his worst moment

  • @sonicfuker worse than when you type anything? I don't think so.

  • @sonicfuker i agree!

  • On the last album and judging from the new song also the new album he sounds much better! I think if he just stays in the range where he can sing and doesn't have to wail he'll be fine. Never saw him live though so can't say how much he has improved for real.

  • @Altairograph hes pretty chat live, seen him twice. you kinda just end up ignoring his singing sometimes

  • lol Mike Portnoy

  • OMG FAIL! Such shame. The poor man may have peed in his pants :(

  • @ssnnaarree it sounds so good!

  • i fukin hate this guy, his voice SUCKS and he sounds a drunk irishman!

  • Listen to him singing Pull Me Under at Download

    watch?v=pjj4bCNy1Sc&feature=fv­sr

  • click 0:21, play 1 sec and repeat 10 times - PRICELESS

  • Lol it's still better than most people can do. I'd have to get slapped in the tenders to hit a note that high haha

  • I wouldn't envy ANY singer that has to sing for DT. Their music is all over the place and I can't think of too many guys who could measure up with all their extreme key changes. I've never been a big fan of Labrie, but I commend him for belting it out for so long. Unfortunately the voice is gonna go long before any other instrument.. Hate to say, but this video is nothing compared to what will happen if he keeps straining himself like that.

  • @funkster007

    Nah. He'll be fine as long as he stays away from the Caribbean.

  • @blakfloyd HAHA good point.

  • 00:32 "I quit."

  • God...that was HORRIBLE. Poor James.

  • .this things hapens

  • OUCH!

  • Mikes' like "Fuck This...."

  • isnt this the one when something happened to a member of his family, half through the show

  • Name of the song anyone?

  • @ggiorgoss12 a change of seasons. that's a short one

  • @Chunelco Yea I've heard to the whole A change of seasons song but i can't remember that part... Anyway thanks.

  • @ggiorgoss12 min 8.15

  • @Chunelco Oh thanks very much

  • LOL! Woooahh......... Well, regardless of range or anyone's ability on this thread - it was bad.

  • That tone up there is really hard to get guys... everyone makes mistakes... and thats not something unusual cuz, try it urselves and see that its almost impossible to get your voice to that tone correctly... so , think before talking please. all of you.

  • james labrie sucks, always has, dream theater should have changed singers a long time ago.

  • @majurbludd

    Couldn't agree more. This band had the chops to be one of the all-time greats if they had even a mediocre vocalist. Want a real laugh? Listen to Labrie bodyslam one of the most beautiful Christmas songs of all time, "O Holy Night". It made me wish I was Jewish.

  • @Girdedloins Listen to Live at the marquee.

    That's why Labrie was in dream theater.

    He's blown his voice out twice since then, which is the main reason why he's not been as good since the early 2000s.

  • @TheCandygod When a pro athlete bows out his knee and comes back slower and less agile, the team cuts him. I feel badly for Labrie losing his voice, but the band should've put him on IR and moved on. They blew their shot at immortality letting this guy hang on for far too long. He wouldn't make it past the 1st cut on American Idol.

  • With Portnoy gone now La Brie is the weakest chain in the link...

    The strongest link in the chain is Petrucci, and drum god Mangini Check out this

    watch?v=bk6i-Xljb8w&feature=re­lated

    Best drumming ever to have taken place, captured by a shoulder cam in small clinic in Asia... gee

  • @nengstro

    i beg to differ

    the stronges link in the chain is, and has always been, John Myung. He doesnt even need to brag about it....

  • Yo dawg, yo dawg, that wasnt too good, it was a bit too pitchy for me.

  • Good*

  • Labrie has a food voice, but I don't much care for his timbre, however it fits very well with DTs music

  • o my god:/ not in pitch

  • Wasn't that bad. Everyone makes mistakes.

  • tonny kakko for DT! NOOWW!!!

  • @leloco90 tony kakko writes too great other stuff than dream theater; he shall never leave his own band. maybe he could be a guest-singer ;)

  • @leloco90 There's videos on Youtube of Kakko fucking up way worse than this. He's a good singer, but he'd be a terrible fit for DT.

  • Those days are gone indeed.

  • @Xenorex247 Loooool!

  • @Xenorex247 LMFAO

  • poker face

    

  • ouch

  • this is absolutely horrific lol xD
