      1992 - 1996 was peak Dream Theater. Hearing "Pull Me Under" for the first time on the radio back in 1992 was one of those "Who the fuck are these guys???" kind of moments. And thats saying a lot considering all the great bands and music that was coming out around 1992 and especially 1993. I was an instant fan. Glad she went back with this one.

And I'm not saying they're bad, it's just they work on a level that isn't always easy to access. What makes me happy, though, is that they keep making stuff they want to make. It's important. Fan service, to me, feels like talking down on your audience and DT doesn't feel like that. If it means I have to listen to more of their albums, I'm okay with that.

      Check out Three Lives by Octavision RIGHT NOW if you haven't heard it yet. Its a 9œ minute epic song with Victor Wooten on bass. Its A LOT like an old DT instrumental. Very catchy and the Mark V Boogie guitar tones on a 7 string Mayones by Hovak are gorgeous...he is THE MAN.

      Metalheads love metal for the music, not the lifestyle, so we appreciate people who focus on the music and analyze it, even when it's just from a vocal perspective. I've also found that metalheads really love sharing their music with other people, which is probably why we're, as a community, drawn to these reaction channels.

      However, it's true that the food poisoning per se is not the reason why LaBrie's voice getting worse. We must look at the context at the time. In an interview, he said that after the poisoning, he should take a rest and not singing for a couple of months. But, he "ignored" it because at the time, DT need to grab their momentum by touring after the success of "Image and Words". LaBrie himself knew what the risk was. But, chance doesn't come twice, right? So, basically he just forced himself to fulfil his duty as the vocalist and frontman of the band, eventhough the decision damaging to his asset in a long run.

    I came here for Dream Theater. I stayed for your interpretation! Portnoys drumming is incredible. James's voice is really hit and miss, but he definitely has the talent. Back in 2010, Dream Theater was playing with Iron Maiden in my hometown and I had never seen them live. Now, my dad was the one that really got me into this music, and he had never seen Iron Maiden live before, even though it was one of his favorite bands. So, I bought a ticket for him, and we spent that time together. I still have it somewhere. That was a good day 😊 I like spending that time with my dad. He's always been there for me, and I really see him as someone I aspire to be. It helps that he's my bassist lol

This has lead to a TON of bad live performances in the late 90s and early 2000s. Still, the dude is a powerhouse in the studio, and over the last few years he has been sounding better and better live again!

      Technically, LaBrie is a much better singer now than he was back then. If you go back through the progression of live vids from the Images & Words tour through to the Octavarium tour, and then the subsequent tours after Octavarium, his live performances deteriorated up until that Octavarium tour. Like most vocalists, he most likely did not learn the "tricks of the trade" for preserving his voice throughout those early tours. I think I remember reading he did some extensive work with a vocal coach to address a lot of that (which a lot of other professional vocalists do) and it has made a drastic difference in the quality of his voice throughout the tour. Meaning that in the early days, if you caught them at the beginning of a tour segment, you got a much better performance than if you caught them at the end of a tour. Now he's much better at maintaining consistency throughout.

Some say that he overused his voice or didn't use correct singing techniques in the early years of DT, which has affected his singing abilities (I also know about the food poisoning incident), I can't comment on those things, but I just don't find that voice very appealing any more on live concerts. I do listen to studio recordings, which are still relatively decent. Not here to start an argument, just my subjective opinion.

    It's always fun to watch someone new to Dream Theater listen to them for the first time. Also, thank you for these videos! I'm not a singer (outside of my car, anyway), but I love hearing about the technical aspects of music broken down by experts.

    I know you appreciate good musicianship, but if you're going to do more Dream Theater, expect lots more bits with no singing. This instrumental break's actually pretty short by their standards... :3
