You should check out the video of Devin's rendition of his own song Kingdom at EMGtv (which I'm sure you've already watched and are unable to answer because you're still struggling to pick up your jaw from the floor)

I hope it will get better soon, (knock on wood).

Get a dude that can sing in tune and he's already better than Labrie

I don't buy into AI, but in Labrie's case I fully support real-time AI vocal correction (the new Auto Tune). Come on DT no one will know....

This is my favorite comparison comment by far. 😂😂😂😂

Thats James labre??

Kevin James Labrie has aged badly in his voice. And he has caused so much BS in Dream Theater, I wouldn’t mind seeing him hit retirement. Let the boys (Petrucci, Portnoy, and Myung) run the show again, as it should be. FYI, LONG TIME Dream Theater fan since the first album. I was there for the music, and vocals weren’t key. God, You choose to not let me play like Petrucci, but I get it. (sobbing into my guitar strings) LOL

He's playing slide guitar not keyboards.

@@DBADER111758 ??

@@DBADER111758no the dude on the right plays hammond. jordan is playing either slide guitar but more likely a synth

Y'all dumb. They're obviously playing marimbas

I got it. I thought the same thing.

It would be too much power and too much awesome in too small of a space...our planet would implode, causing a massive black hole that would grow and grow and start to reverse the Big Bang.

getting sober has probably really helped with the longevity, he is a fucking beast of a musician, and a class act of a human being.

This has to be the joy of playing together some people seem to talk about! ^^

Also saw them in Feb 202 just before the pandemic, I believe that concert and the Sunday one were the last live ones before lockdown.

@@pikchslail550 Yeah, lockdown was kind of a shock to the system. I saw them on their first show in the Eventim Apollo (they played two night so that they had extra footage and audio for Distant Memories). That was the last live experience I had for years. A shame, but tbh it was an excellent show.

It's a fatal tragedy hearing James these days...

Honestly, the last few years dream theatre has not had the best live mix. Their FOH engineer is an old dude and probably has lost hearing. Mix probably sounds great to him but to a young guy like me it was just muddy. Hopefully they get a newer, younger FOH engineer soon and their mix can improve.

​@@steventurner1628I can attest to that. I saw them in february for the first time, and the mix was actually awful enjoyed it none the less.

Portnoy and Kevin moore 😂❤

No way please be me

No way

DT is more than a band. It's a family. DT's members gave JlB their support when he got his vocal chords broken, and they still give it to him.

So done with LaPoof and Mangini (love the Guy but he’s no MP)

if you can play fast, you can also play slow. it's the opposite that's not true 😉

@@dedalomusic that's not true. I can play some stuff blisteringly fast that I can't play slowly well.

@@ButBigger42 Well someone needs to practice more then... and I'm guilty of that too

@@dedalomusic you've missed my point....

No way. I love dev, but James still does a excelent job in DT.

It doesn't sound mean, just different styles. Personally for me Labrie in the 90s was the absolute perfect singer for DT, but nowadays his talent level is just no where close to the others on stage because his voice is just completely shot.

Maybe Mike had to go to the bathroom?????🤷‍♂️😂

If you're talking about around 6:38, that's Devin, not James.

Just terrible. God, since the beginning of the video I cringed hard. lol

@@selim6033 Enough to make a drummer quit. lol

@@bamahi7142 Loool, indeed. xD

Lmao facts

The voice is the hardest instrument to keep in a high level… We have to understand that.

How did u even get to see them I couldn't find them lol

@@jeffreynashville6611what do you mean? I was in the first row!

@@guitarmaestro078 i meant like did u go back stage to get them?

@@jeffreynashville6611 no sir, I literally threw the pedal onstage at the very end of the show and John signed it and threw it back.
