It's a perfectly reasonable topic, and you're entitled to your opinion on it (which I happen to share).  Hope you enjoy the forums, but you certainly won't ingratiate yourself with the other members by attacking their threads in this manner.  Stern Smile

As to Archivep: 'stupid' is an offensive word, and as such should not be used so lightly. If you don't like the topic, you've got the right not to post in the thread.

DT as a group is greater than the sum of its parts. Why consider change?

No replacing could be done here
LaBrie is the voice of Dream Theater and without him it wouldn't be Dream Theater.
A lot of people dislikes the voice of Geddy Lee but no one tries to put someone in his place

I believe I have a problem with the fact Portnoy and Petrucci had to talk to him. His vocals weren't terrible. I think the best music is made by bands that don't set limitations on other members. I didn't realize that MP and JP were such nazis. Geez, that just ruins the music for me. Its like ripping out someone's soul.

He actually had vocal lessons before Octavarium was released.

In fact he has even gotten better with time, his vocals on Octavarium are top notch.


I really enjoyed Octavarium and I thought it was due to the change LaBrie made. I didn't know what it was. However, when I listened to Score, I realized that it may have been the mix in the studio. But his style of singing on the album has a sleepy sound so maybe not.

Regardless, in my opinion, Octavarium is his best studio vocal performance to date, at least from where I sit.

As a previous poster mentioned, LaBrie is generally very amazing and listenable on the side projects.  It's only occasionally with DT that I feel his voice is being misused.  I don't think replacing him would be the solution, then, as Mike and the boys would likely have the -next- guy sing in the same overly reaching way.

Therefore, I don't think that changing the singer would really help me lke their music more... though some of the suggestions here were not bad at all. Jorn Lande seems quite a good proposition... And what about Geoff Tate?

    
i don't agree with Jorn Lande replacing LaBrie... he's more of a power metal performer... Tate, better, still, his voice fits better to more intellectual music like Ryche's material...

Well to be honest I'd have left LaBrie where he is- I've never felt his vocals were poor. He's not my fave singer ever but I don't have a problem with his voice either. Not being a connoisseur of prog metal (not really that much of a fan) I wouldn't know who to replace him with anyway, but it needn't be done imo. I prefer his voice to Russell Allen's.
