Great band, even i do love DT and Fates Warning, somewhat I enjoy the more Threshold cause they do not abuse on complexity, so we can enjoy the progressive as weel as good structured melodies
I'm sure the new music will be written to Suit Damian's Voice better. Its always hard for another person to sing a song that was written for Someone else and make it sound good to the fans.
idk why peoepl are bashing his vocals, i think it sounded really good. i haven't heard the original singer do it yet though, but i like this. it's cool
BTW Damian Wilson's version of "Pilot" doesn't sound so bad. I also think Mac is the best vocalist Threshold's ever had, but Damian is good actually. His voice is correctly tuned to the song, he doesn't overdo his loud vocal parts, and his low pitched operatic voice fits the lyrics and the mood in the song. If that's the live version of Damian Wilson then I can't wait for Threshold to release a new album with him as the lead singer :)
IMO this guy singing whole song in same way .But it's very good ,for live performance(comparing with Adagio live...huuuh)Threshold's songs are hard for singing,no matter who is on vocals.
It's just not Damian's own song. It was written for Mac. To make some songs your own, when they were written for someone else is hard work and usually it becomes a cover. Good example is Mac's version of Supermassive Black hole. It was different. And it was good. But most of all it was studio recording.
I think that Damian tries to sing it Mac's way and it's just wrong. It limits his own vocal.
Ahem, dude, you're talking about studio albums, and most vocalists sound good in studio with the help of some post-production work. That's not a good point =O
What a great band,and Damian sounds superb with them-he used to live near me so i have sunk a few pints in the pub with him-black tshirt and black jeans on stage or off.lol-cool dude:)
well, each to his own... but seriously, LaBrie is an amazing vocalist. he used to have one of the strongest voices in metal, with a hugely impressive range, then screwed all that up with an episode of food poisoning. he managed to come back from that and front the greatest prog metal band of all time. Not sure you could do that.
He may not be everyone's cup of tea, but at least give him credit for everything he has acheived as a vocalist. It annoys me when people just criticise him non-stop.
In the next three lines, explain to me please what exactly has James Labrie "achieved" as a vocalist so uniquely that no other metal vocalist could have done before, or can do now. We can seriously talk about him after that
I doubt they will, since Damian was their singer before Mac joined. I have to agree however, even though Damian is technically a great singer, he somewhat lacks Mac's uniqueness.
@ffestudio Damian obviously fits better with Threshold cause he was the original. Some people may prefer Mac, but they can't say he "fits" better. Obviously, Mac sings Mac's material better, cause he helped write it. People saying Damian "sucks" or don't belong with them though is just ridiculous.
I was there! It was pure magic. I waited so many years to see Damian with Threshold. What a dream come true! :) Got to tell Rich (again) how he's my favorite keyboardist in metal, and tell Damian how thrilled I was to see him in the flesh. I've got the DVD and it's great, though I really wish they'd included "Sanity's End" as well.
BTW is it just me or Rich doesn't want to be shown much on camera, especially during Keyboard solos? I noticed it also on the Critical Energy DVD, the only time he was pretty mch visible was during Sanity's End, and that was pretty much it.

LaBrie hasn't acheived anything especially unique.
He's never been one of the very best.
But especially at his peak before the food poisoning incident, he undeniably had an excellent voice with fantastic range.
All im saying is, it's amazing how he reformed himself as a vocalist in the post-Awake DT albums. You gotta give him credit for that.
