    There is one thing that I've never understood.
    PREMISE: I think this video is amazing, I'm a huge Haken fan and this performance is good!
    But how come people are leading a crusade against LaBrie and every SINGLE note he sings that is being nudged a bit in post-production becomes "hah labrie can't sing", while a performance like this, where the vocal correction is evident (just listen to audience-recorded vids of this performance), is used to bash LaBrie thanks to Ross' apparent vocal perfection?
    Truth is that DT songs are VERY challenging to pull off live, every singer is human and makes mistakes, and unfortunately not Ross Jennings nor Labrie can always be perfect.
    Sorry if this sounded harsh, disrespectful towards anyone (not meant to be) or just over the top, but I never liked hearing/reading things against musicians.

    • @nfkgdh
      @nfkgdh 9 років тому +3

      Mr. Neptune Blue Well you know, there is a difference between what the crowd hears and what is really played, and moreover if it is recorded with some shit cellphone. The recording we hear has been recorded directly through the mix table BEFORE it was sent to the speakers. It is not recorded through mics in the room.
      When Labrie is recorded through the same setup, he often sounds off or out of tune. Ross Jennings doesn't.

      I highly doubt Ross had any pitch correction done on his vocals in this vid. I've been to a live Haken concert; he simply isn't off-pitch very often. It kinda depends on the song, but some songs he just sings pretty much perfectly.

      I was thinking the same thing. This is my first hearing Haken. I'd take him over LaBrie any day.

      Really? Just going off this performance Labrie delivers sooooo much more power in The Mirror. Ross sang it very cleanly but and I think the song needs a little more anger but thats just me.

      Labrie sings, Hakens singer whispers.
