New James LaBrie tune

[No-Mercy]

this song is pretty damn sick.

 

[Diamond45]

Take out the harsh vocals and you got a pretty good song...

This.

 

[Diamond45]

The harsh vocals seem a bit trend-happy, but hey, they're not bad. The song is really good and James sounds terrific. I think he'd make a great addition to the PPUSA XII lineup, maybe even as a headliner.

Hmmm..... do you know something we don't? Or just pure speculation on your part!

Total speculation, but that seems to be what we're all here for.

 

[Met-Al]

I'm with those who could do without the growls, but everything else about this song kicks ass!

I've always thought that James would make an excellent addition to the ProgPower roster. In fact, I had a recent discussion with Orbweaver about this exact topic. Obviously, booking a band like Dream Theater for this festival would be way too costly, not to mention pointless. That said, there's no reason why Glenn couldn't get one of their numerous side projects. The same could be said of Iron Maiden. Who amongst this audience wouldn't kill to see Bruce Dickinson headline this show with his solo band? I think these possibilities are very feasible.


Stay metal. Never rust.

[Prog_Please]

This song is awesome! I can't wait. The harsh vocals really add another layer to the music which I'm really enjoying. I really do hope he's headlining at a future PPUSA date.

 

[mel_progson]

Can I pretend this is a Dream Theater song?

 

[Wandrail]

Looking forward to this CD...I don't find the harsh vocals objectionable but I also don't think they really add anything. The guitars at the very beginning of the song almost remind me of Awake-era DT.

 

[AngraRULES]

If his whole new album is on this vein, we will have a strong contender for album of the year.

 

[Cheiron]

To me, it sounds like a lot of the stuff I've listened to. Very formulaic melo-death. Not a hint of originality in that. And James's clean vocals on this are more whiney as hell. Too bad. James can really sing when he tries. But this isn't singing. This is nasal explosion.

 

[mëtålspëd]

I am no LaBrie fan, but this isnt half bad (till he starts singing). I had to laugh at the first response on blabbermouth, regarding this new disc

"the lars ulrich of dream theater"

"If James LaBrie cut his hair he would look like Dante from Clerks."

[DFD260]

I like it. I also enjoyed seeing DT in Chicago with Maiden.

 

[VenomGA]

the problem comes in that James sounds like crap live.

 

[arnavut]

"If James LaBrie cut his hair he would look like Dante from Clerks."

and with the hair he kinda looks like Fabio

 

[nailz]

It's ok. I can't stand the blastbeats that accompany the growly bits though.

 

[Justin G]

the problem comes in that James sounds like crap live.

That might have been true a decade ago, but not anymore. Whatever training/conditioning he's doing has really helped. I think he sounds great live.

He couldn;t hit the high notes when I saw Progressive Nation 2 years ago....and kept going off stage to drink his herbal drinks to help his voice.
