@@HalfDuck Yeeaaahhhhhh sorry to break it to you but Petrucci's vocals are also prerecorded ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5bF34XA_MKk.html
@@vuha5000 in the previous years yes, but since 2023 he has been live singing again. he never done that since portnoy left, now he finally sings again.
@6:35 I love how casually JP goes into the interlude and looks out over the crowd and plays a very tricky note pattern with ease. He's one of the greatest guitarist's in the world to date.
People admire ( and rightly so ) the technical abilities of all the members of the band ( world class instrumentalists no doubt ) but what's more impressive to me is their compositional chops. Nowadays there are a lot of guitarists for example that are great technically but they are unable to write complex and at the same time compelling music. And they've been at it for +30 years \m/
I think the longer tour is getting to JB worse, because the Asia tour where they play live not as many places as in US or Europe, JB sounds quite excellent (at least 70-80% of what he used to be)
Judging by the contents of your channel as well as this comment, it seems like you have an almost personal affliction with James La Brie and modern Dream Theater. What is the reason for this?
@@firesafetymore you must be new here. This guy has been like this for years and has made it his mission to do nothing in life other than be completely and utterly personally offended by anything dealing with DT while claiming to be a fan. It’s impressive really.
Dude, you really need to calm about DT. Yes, there are issues, and yes, maybe LaBrie doesn’t sound as good as he used to, but, it’s Dream Theater, it’s a band; it’s not that deep.
@@will_stevens Disagree. I assign a "sacred" status to music, and can't respect someone like LaBrie making a mockery of DT's works. He's dragging down 4 virtuosos. Of course, he is not the only incompetent rock and metal vocalist (Paul Stanley, Dave Mustaine, Brett Hinds, etc.) but I focus on DT because they are my neck of the woods.
Het doet de fan pijn om dit te beseffen en toe te geven, maar het is een feit: Labrie komt totaal niet overeen met het prestatieniveau van DT. Zijn zang klinkt als een schooloptreden.
