Hey Rob, Veel succes gewenst in de toekomst, ik ga je binnenkort wel weer zien. ...en sun caged, tja.. jullie komen vast wel weer terug met een nieuwe bassist, ...en beter dan ooit!!! (zoals jullie dat altijd zo leuk zeggen) Alleen marcel nog maar over van de originele debuut CD line-up...

Thnx for that nice compliment ProgRÿche... :)

Good guess! :) John Arch is great, has one of the widest ranges I came accross and very mysterious lines. A shame he hasn't sung for many years. The new CD is great though! I just wish he would do some concerts, he could sing the 2 songs from his CD and some old stuff from Fates Warning, that...

How did I feel? well, that's a pretty strange story. I discovered on a very young age I could sing high, problem was that on that age every boy wants to be like his father and my father was a singer in a choir and had this very deep booming voice. So I always ignored those high notes and tried...

First of all you have to be shure you use the proper techniques, after that it all comes down to natural range and not be afraid to sing out loud. This may sound strange, but if you are "afraid" to sing, then you won't use your full potential. Maybe this is the problem? I don't know for sure...

O.K. Sam, just a couple of pointers: 1. Get enough sleep, at least 8-9 hours of it, very important. (yes, the singer is the most boring guy in the band) :) 2. Don't speak to much before and after a concert, especially when the room is noisy and you can't hear the exact volume you use...

Hey Hawk, :) You have a point there. Every singer thinks about that (or should think about it), problem is where should you draw the line, because on some bad days you could lose as much as 2-3 notes, another day the low ones, should one consider this when recording? I think not, to a certain...

Phrasing is very difficult at certain points. When reaching for certain notes, some words become very difficult to pronounce because of the technique used, so you start to lose some articulation for the sake of sounding good. I start to realize that this could be the biggest part of the...

If you ask me if I'm a fan of LaBrie, I must say yes. I think he has one hell of a voice and can do certain things with his voice other singers cannot, but as far as influences go, I must say I'm more influenced by singers like Ray Alder, Geoff Tate and Buddy Lackey. It's the softer parts of...

Brrrr... I get a kind of Matrix-like feeling about your last statement. After all these kind of things are just assumptions, are they not? No REAL truth in it. :)

Thnx Hawk! :) It was a pleasure debating with you and I hope we can elaborate after a concert one day. You have given me lots to think about and that is what I need because i treat my lyrics as poems. ...and you are right, I just love pilosophy! :) greetings and hope to see you one day.

My God Hawk!? Do I really have to read al you typed there? :) I don't want to hurt your feelings, but are you a schoolteacher currently without a job that suddenly feels the need to teach on this board? Because you make me feel like I'm in school again. :) Don't take this the wrong way, I'm...

Hmmmm... can't stop thinking about it anymore, you got me intriged... :) Let's talk truths and untruths. I will use a different but also "heavy" example. One person believes in God and the other doesn't. the first one claimes he knows for sure that God exists, because he sees it in...

If you read carefully, you'll see that I was talking about opinions being mistaken for truths, not facts. Words have been taken out of contex here, I was talking about opinions. If you take away the first part of my posting then the remaining words should say: "Opinions differ, hence there is...

Alrighty then! :)
