Mickalino Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I don't know if this was brought up before, it's kind of hard to search something like this, but Dream Theater recorded a really cool song as a tribute to 9/11, it's called Sacrificed Sons. I think I have a new man-crush now, on James LaBrie of Dream Theater, replacing Scott Stapp. Here's the lyrics to that song Walls are closing Anxiously Channel surfing Frantically Burning City Smoke and fire Planes we're certain Faith inspired No clues A complete surprise Who'll be Coming home tonight Heads all turning Towards the sky Towers crumble Heroes die Who would wish this on our people And proclaim that His will be done Scriptures they heed have misled them All praise their Sacrificed Sons All praise their Sacrificed Sons Teach them What to think and feel Your ways So enlightening Words they preach I can't relate If God's true Love Are acts of Hate Who would wish this on our people And proclaim that His will be done Scriptures they heed have misled them All praise their Sacrificed Sons All praise their Sacrificed Sons God on High Our mistakes Will mankind be extinct? There's no time, time to waste Who serves the truth For Heavens' sake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Beers and Mountaineers Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 yellowcard also released a song in tribute to september 11th, or at least im pretty sure its about sept 11. the song is "believe" here are the lyrics. Think about the love inside the strength of heart Think about the heroes saving life in the dark Climbing higher through the fire, time was running out Never knowing you weren't going to be coming down alive But you still came back for me You were strong and you believed Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe. Be strong. Believe. Think about the chance I never had to say Thank you for giving up your life that day Never fearing, only hearing voices calling out Let it all go, the life that you know, just to bring it down alive And you still came back for me You were strong and you believed Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe. (Again today, we take into our hearts and minds those who perished on this site one year ago, and also those who came to toil in the rubble to bring order out of chaos, to help us make sense of our despair) Wanna hold my wife when I get home Wanna tell the kids they'll never know how much I love to see them smile Wanna make a change or two right now Wanna live a life like you somehow Wanna make your sacrifice worthwhile Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe. Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Everything is gonna be alright Be strong. Believe. Think about the love inside the strength of heart Think about the heroes saving life in the dark Think about the chance I never had to say Thank you for giving up your life that day (The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjcdaman Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 "Have You Forgotten?"- by Darryl Worley(country song) is a better song than that **** Mick! And I don't like country music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeSkin Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Wow...nice thoughts, both of those songs...but they look like something someone down at the Rec Center creative writing class whipped up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I'll admit, it isn't Dream Theater's most creative song, but meh, the instrumentality is killer in that song, it has some serious riffs and phrases to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skin'emAlive Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I have always wondered what it would be like if dream theater had a different singer. Labrie may be able to write lyrics... but i cant stand most of his singing. Reguardless, dream theater is amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could say that about most music coming out today. But you couldn't say that about most Dream Theater music. Musical and lyrical creativity is a lost art.

Mr. S Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 you can say that about every dream theater song Yeah, you can, just, that song appealed more to me as the riffs were heavier and whatnot. Why can't you stand his singing ?I feel the opposite. I cannot imagine that band WITHOUT LaBrie LaBrie is not the greatest singer out there, he is certainly good, but not great. I would love to see Geddy Lee guest with Dream Theater one time or something. LaBrie I guess is getting old, ever since the Metropolis Pt. 2 DVD, his range has been failing. It was evident in the DVD's "Live at Budokan" and in their latest dvd "Score". Either way, you could do a lot worse, and I would agree with your last statement, he still fits and I could not imagine the band w/o Labrie. He's still a great stuido vocalist, just not as crisp live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geddy is 53 and his voice is showing his age, while LaBrie is only 43. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWB Posted September 25, 2006 Share Posted September 25, 2006 I think LaBrie shined on Score and made a real comeback in this live performance versus previous dvds like Live at Budokan, and the dreaded Live Scenes in New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still a great stuido vocalist, just not as crisp live. LaBrie has never been good live, IMHO. He's flat even more that Maynard and has that annoying tone like he's singing from the back of his throat rather than his torso. It makes half his words blur together and annoys the hell out of me. Their lyrics were borderline laugable on Metropolis:II, although I think (despite blatantly ripping off Queensryche to open the album) it's their strongest effort.

I guess I haven't listened to Geddy lately. However, fine, Ill give another, Bruce Dickinson. Now, if you saw Rock in Rio, which im sure you have, you would agree that he is not losing anything vocal wise, heh. That man is flat out insane with his vocals despite being in his 50s. I still thought that Live Scenes From New York was their best effort as well, though Score was also pretty good. Budokan didn't impress me, and neither did 5 Years in a Livetime (now that would probably be LaBrie's worst recorded and released effort). Agreed though with ya Ntotoro, LaBrie has never been great live, but LSFNY and Score were pretty decent overall. Such an awesome studio guy though!

Now the Budokan recording... sheesh. I'd have done a "Kiss: Alive!" job on that one and edited it until the cows came home... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
