As much as I think that Bruce is one of the best heavy metal singers (I AM MAIDENHEAD!!!), I think he couldn't pull off some crazy shit LaBrie has done (tha crazy "whoa" singing in Learning to Live before the Petrucci's solo was excellent singing). So stop trashing the poor guy, you haven't experienced food poisoning (I have) and you don't know what it does to your voice.
I love watching DT, especially Petrucci and Portnoy, They're so good at what they do. This is a great song, but Labrie sang it a lot better when he was younger.
mike portnoy is a little overbearing live. actually, he's not overbearing AT ALL anymore live. it's like the perfect ratio of volume now. as a highly enthusiastic DT fan, definitely no stabs at mike, just saying he has a lot of energy and it's hard to control ur volume with so much energy.
ive seen alot of the great singers live: dio, bruce dickinson, geoff tate, some of the stuff they pull off but sometimes they don't carry a note or it's weaker than recorded but james and the above mentioned are still great at what they do, after all a voice is human and is subject to change whereas a drumkit or guitar is the same night after night...........nonetheless great band
labrie got poisoned in 1996 , during a holiday in cuba...vomiting, he breaked his vocal chords ...infact if you see some videos or listen to live performances during 1996 - 2002 his voice was terrible...
to me on live recordings LaBrie's voice seems to struggle for me especially on the slower songs like this one but apart from that it is ace and petrucci as always impeccable
LaBrie had an amazing voice on Images and words, and around there. He still sounds good on Six Degrees, but sounds completely awful live, and on ToT + Octavarium.
LaBrie has some off performances, but overall, he's a good singer. The Score DVD is a perfect example of how good he can be live. And obviously the rest of them kick ass too.
It took a while for me to get used to Labrie, and at times I still don't like his voice, but eventually I realized that I've never heard anyone else that could fit as the singer for Dream Theater. As much as I try to imagine it, anyone else would be awkward.
I hope the line-up they have now stays until the end. These guys are the best in my book.
Agreed. I was hesitant on Labrie at first, but I got used to his voice, and realized that DT would not be the same without him. DT is an amazing band.
Dream Theater is truely an entertainer group! I second the comment that LaBrie is a bad singer... DO IT BETTER!!! You couldn't touch this artistic and soulfull presentation with any other. There are none that have achieved this obessiveness in putting a song together so completely since maybe RUSH!
OK! Sing like him! Catch him if you can... The pitch included! " LaBrie sounds terrible" I really don't understand why people said LaBrie sounds terrible... They cannot sing like him and do it! Damn...
