If Russell Allen didn't sing about Odysseys, dragons and castles and he joined Dream Theater I'd make the prediction less people would complain all day on prog-forums about the band :)

What are Symphony x actually doing at the moment? They said they'd tour Australia for paradise lost tour, but haven't updated their website in over 1/2 a year. 

What's going on?  Anyone know?

Unless James left on his own terms, I couldn't see the fans being too accepting of such a move.  James works well as the vocalist in Dream Theater despite his inconsistencies live.  To many, James may as well be an original bandmember.

Russell sings outstanding, but wouldn't like seeing him with Dream Theater, like others said, the vocals are not the main issue for DT, bring back Moore or at least Derek!Tongue

If Russel replaces LaBrie and he could get 4 other guys to replace the rest of them DT could put out a good album again.

That's it!!!

Mike Portnoy is the new DT singer!!!

NOO! Haha, I'd love to hear Portnoy do the high passages in 'The Spirit Carries On'. It could be very entertaining.

Portnoy said in an SC era interview that everyone is replaceable except him and Petrucci.


Damn... how did he figure that? I can't think of any keyboard player who is rounded enough (who would be interested) to replace Rudess, for a start. And Myung and LaBrie would probably be almost as hard. This is without even thinking about chemistry...

If that is true I would be VERY VERY upset at Symphony X bisbanding.
But Russel Allen doing DT vocals would be pretty amazing

LoL!
 
An interesting thought...Russell Allen singing Dream Theater...
 
I'm pretty sure that if anyone in the current DT lineup left the group, DT would be no more. So, I think we are stuck with who we've got in Dream Theater currently (which I have absolutely no problem with Tongue)

It's hard to argue with that. DT with Russell would be great stuff.
