I was thinking about starting a thread like this one. Today when I checked the forum I found three threads in one screen with the following topics:
- What to do what to do...**RUSH*** vocals
- Replacing LaBrie
- Hogarth singing Fish songs
Struck me as kind of silly, but I guess the hype of the month is 'singers you (don't) like', just like we had 'Dream Theaters you (don't) love' over the past three months. 
Anyway, here's my reaction to these three threads, and this one as well:
- What to do what to do...**RUSH*** vocals
Two options: either accept Geddy the way he is and depending on your personal
preference listen or don't. Rush without Geddy is not Rush, that's for sure after
30 years...
- Replacing LaBrie
Same as above, substitute Geddy with James and Rush with Dream Theater.
Oh, and change 30 years into 'almost 26'
- Hogarth singing Fish songs
Hogarth can sing Fish songs, but he can never replace him 1-on-1. They're two
people, two very different persons and vocally they are a lot further apart than
for instance John Oliva and Zack Stevens (Savatage). Accept it.
- Why don't people like James Labrie's vocals?
Most likely because it's too over the top for some - I have to agree that he is
close to the edge of what he's vocally capable of on some tracks, but he does
know how to sing - and sometimes gets a chance to show it.
Well, tomorrow it's october, so I'm curious as to what next month's hype is going
to bring us...

OK, I'll start... He's OK if he sings in a lower register, as he does on "Train of Thought". When he hits the higher notes, though, the results are often excruciating, as in "Take the Time" (even the studio version, not to mention his utterly awful performance on "Once in a Livetime"). I'll readily admit there are much worse singers around, but I think DT would sound much better with another vocalist. He just irritates the heck out of me... I think it's a good enough explanation. |
That's basically it. Octavarium was a good song until the vocals came in.
