I really feel sorry for James, he sacrificed the best metal voice of all time(IMO) for the band. Clearly he needed way more time off, prob at least 1-2 years to let the damage recover and also to train and work his chords into good shape. Instead due to the workload of DT he came back way too soon and never really fully recovered but as in this song kept reaching for those notes he hit in 92/93 which just made the scarring and damage permanent.
By changing his style he has recovered his upper range but only in a limited head voice and not as he was early on. One other thing I noticed is how much weaker his lower vibrato is these days. All that being said he is my fav singer of all time and in his day mind blowing. Dont forget he is also 50yo, what he does on stage is pretty damn impressive still.
Holy blessed throat James! What a chest,the best singer without any doubt!Am I wrong or he reached F#??James is a monster,petrucci is a master of whole bands guitar!Poor hater's ,unfortunately the talent bothers the morons!
Bruh LaBrie ain’t the best singer. Literally everyone can imitate his singing. I often end up laughing when he makes the artificial super wide vibrato (want a good laugh ? Click here 2:26). Russell Allen and Tommy Karevik on the contrary are so much better if not the best. Listen to Seventh Wonder an you’ll hear what I mean. As a vocalist, LaBrie is like the easy level for me. I prefer practicing on some Karevik, Symphony X or 80’s hair metal which I both nail almost perfectly. You cannot compare real technique and precision to just air and weird ass vibrato. Sorry for that but LaBrie has nothing spectacular, he just do the note but even sometimes he’s out of tune...
3:49 the scream was so metal it gave santa the christmas spirit he needed to get ever single present delivered with time to spare for getting pissed with the elves that night
That why James is my favorite vocalist. Got to give him his respect. When you sing like that, you can't expect to hit those high note that every night. God Bless ya James! Listen to Maiden's Bruce Dickinson on Live After Death DVD and then Rock at Rio. I was surprised. He sounds better now.
i love how it was totally on the spot too. the change. you see petrucci tell portnoy about it and james being like wtf? hahaha o holy night was great. the d4 to the g4 was spot on and it's things like that, that make me love james.
John Petrucci: "Hey I think James lost his mind..." Mike Portnoy: "Maybe if we just keep looking at him, he'll stop..." lol The looks on their faces when he hit that flat note was priceless!
When he goes from D4 to D5, he is singing in chest voice, but he is belting / screaming b/c it's out of his range on this day or he is voice is worn out. Then he bends it up to G5 using mixed voice. I think he is using head voice when he hits the G5.
James LaBrie is a really good singer, it's so sad that his voice has suffered over the years. He strains in the high registers now. He's still awesome though.
I like the ibanez era... he used a phaser set uber low, it had a great clean sound... specially with the open strings. but the musicman i think is way more versatile and better for how heavy they are anymore.
Begitu kuatnya pamor lagu enter sandman metallica, hingga ketika petrucci memainkan riff nya, Sontak disambut kompak ribuan penonton dgn menyanyi bersama.
Oh god. . . a point in time where John still used Ibanez and Myung used his Blue Yamaha that would appear on the "Scenes" tour . . we're in some kind of buffer area >.> Also James LaBrie Rule #1: If all else fails, throw in an F#.
ya know what happened? I was counting octaves from my 7th string as my 6th so I ended up on 6. Then I heard it an octave high anyways so I ended up on 7(Which is 8 in guitar because the way it transposes). I fucked that up about as hard as i could of! Ear training shouldn't end when class is over haha! I swear I'm not this stupid guys!
Lol the other members were like wtf? James is like ok there they go again. Rudess is like uh geez i gotta play this now? Myung is like I don't know this song...but I'll just sit here and be quiet.
Haha you'll have to forgive me... octave 8 is kinda where i cant tell anymore(thats as high as my guitar goes lol). He's a half step higher than I can play(with a bend on teh high e). Even better work james!
I can't reproduce what he just said....it doesn't matter if your englsh is bad or not, the F word is understabdable in any language! he said "Merry Fu-ing Christmas"
It's one of the big things I like about Mangini. The 8,000 cymbal fills every 42 seconds was becoming a bit much. I like the more laid back tighter drumming he has put down.

@@louisrmusic big talk for someone with no singing videos of his own 😭🤣 All talk. 🤡
@@louisrmusicyou can sing like that?? Wow, let us hear something sung by you than
Petrucci eyes at 3:54 O.O Even him got surprised by that
I hope all of the members fro Dream Theater believe in Yehshuah (Jesus) as their Savior 😇 John 3:16-17.
Sempre ouço esta versão em época natalina!! :)
Holy crap! That note! And this is after the vocal rupture. I've never heard him hit anything like that during the FII era.
3:49 the scream was so metal it gave santa the christmas spirit he needed to get ever single present delivered with time to spare for getting pissed with the elves that night

hahaha
o holy night was great.
the d4 to the g4 was spot on and it's things like that, that make me love james.
a savior is born
Brilliant voice.
John Petrucci: "Hey I think James lost his mind..." Mike Portnoy: "Maybe if we just keep looking at him, he'll stop..." lol The looks on their faces when he hit that flat note was priceless!
the last 2 minutes or so was freakin awesome!

this is the voice,upsy
James LaBrie is a really good singer, it's so sad that his voice has suffered over the years. He strains in the high registers now. He's still awesome though.
merry xmas 4 all of you
holy paradigm night shift
In paradigm shift, Derek sherinian say: I dont know this song xD
the paradigm shift is just a bonus.. haha christmas gift... john only whisphers to mike.. then enter the intro.. nice haha
Fantástico!
I like the ibanez era... he used a phaser set uber low, it had a great clean sound... specially with the open strings. but the musicman i think is way more versatile and better for how heavy they are anymore.
Here we go again. Merry xmas! Greetings from Connecticut!
that is performance!!!
Incredeble!
@mattthedream he said by 97 his vocal chords were back to the same.
Begitu kuatnya pamor lagu enter sandman metallica, hingga ketika petrucci memainkan riff nya, Sontak disambut kompak ribuan penonton dgn menyanyi bersama.
yeah thease days he sounds awesome xD
portnoy santa claus is epic
What about a Dream Theater Christmas album!? wouldn't that be amazing!?
John and Mike are like Fuck you guys we're doin it.
James Labrie didn't lose but a few high notes, his voice is still awesome and we don't need proof. He sounds better now.
So is Mike trying to screw up john during Paradigm shift or have they just completely forgotten how to play it at the time lol?
Amazing. Wish you could “like” a RUclips video more than once
Oh god. . . a point in time where John still used Ibanez and Myung used his Blue Yamaha that would appear on the "Scenes" tour . . we're in some kind of buffer area >.>
Also James LaBrie Rule #1:
If all else fails, throw in an F#.
please give me these video guitar solo lesson or tab
@Mithedhel
what are u talking about?
James is awesome in this vid...but that little funny screwup made me laugh at 2:28 haha
Sounds like a job in a funky church from 8pm to 6am
brilliant
and people won't be happy until mike says happy *insert religious celebration* to every possible religion
his not screaming thats his style!!! his a rock metal singer!!! its a style...
Portnoy drumming to Christmas music. \II/
mantab nih dream tateher bawaain nya sumpah baru liat gua
I ask you this because I don't understand it, my english is bad.
Is there a name for the way he hits the D and G? Or is he just screaming it so he can go higher..
ya know what happened? I was counting octaves from my 7th string as my 6th so I ended up on 6. Then I heard it an octave high anyways so I ended up on 7(Which is 8 in guitar because the way it transposes). I fucked that up about as hard as i could of!

Lol the other members were like wtf?
James is like ok there they go again.
Rudess is like uh geez i gotta play this now?
Myung is like I don't know this song...but I'll just sit here and be quiet.

16.Oct.2023
dec 28th, huh?
I turned 8 on that day.
5:53, a mistake?
Haha you'll have to forgive me... octave 8 is kinda where i cant tell anymore(thats as high as my guitar goes lol). He's a half step higher than I can play(with a bend on teh high e).
Even better work james!
21.Oct.2019
Yeah not a smart idea but totally freakin awesome.
And lol Portnoy is Santa.
yeah...what can I say to that?:)
Yet anothr F#! Jame's Labrie has the balls of an ogre to risk that after his voice cracked earlier. AND HE NAILS IT! Nice.
nah thats a high g
is this from a DVD ?
No,
this is a bootleg that Portnoy has made available, from FII Tour (DEC.98)
What did he say? He's not a jewish anymore but a Christian.
Oh, this is so strange.
I can't reproduce what he just said....it doesn't matter if your englsh is bad or not, the F word is understabdable in any language! he said "Merry Fu-ing Christmas"
@AnarchalPatriarch never mind...
nice tune.... Christ was born :-)
I woodnt say it was too "clean"....just in key. haha.
Just kidding. . . It was a G
:O
Uh...so?
I hate this to much melodic songs :/
but dream theater rocks a lot!
Portnoys drumming killed this song. Simply awful.
It's one of the big things I like about Mangini. The 8,000 cymbal fills every 42 seconds was becoming a bit much. I like the more laid back tighter drumming he has put down.
