Basically, James Labrie used your vocal melody on most of this song then modified some parts to fit it to his range. To me, your singing sounds the same way how James sang it on I&W recording. Great effort Charlie. You’re still one of those ppl. who helped built this band as to where they are now. Without you and others who left, DT is not that famous as today. Respect.
It wasn't intended as an apology more an eye opener for the guys that were judging my performance compared to JLB. I'm very proud of the fact that for over 25 years, James has sung pretty much the exact melody i wrote back in 1989 and JP has only suggested one or two notes that changed to showcase JLBs high range. \m/
I feel like Charlie's take on the song is more operatic, theatrical whereas James's is a more forwards rock style for Metro. Two entirely different feelings in my opinion. With James, it feels like a rock song. With Charlie, it feels personal and somewhat saddening. Really amazing stuff
Dominici has a unique tone and beautiful emotional voice in general. That said he’s a High baritone, and on good well rested days can sing these DT songs, not without effort though. That takes a lot of strain on a singers voice if you constantly push your range abilities(he does have a impressionable range for s baritone though), but he could never have toured with DT full scale without sounding shit like on this recording. LaBrie was a true vocal beast blessed with an amazing vocal range for men and power as well which made him so versatile and practically a vocal virtuoso until he got sick. Anyone who questions LaBrie, listen to the live at the Marquee album. He shines on it. That said, Dominici’s voice suited the first album.
Very perceptive and musically knowledgable comment. I've often said that I joined this band and took on the vocal job for the first album for The same reason why people climb mountains- because it was there. I knew the melodies I was writing were out of my comfort range but I wasn't looking to be comfortable I was looking to be great. Aim for the stars and you might at least get the moon. It took a lot of work and preparation to perform every night singing 2 whole steps above my natural range and there were those typical rock and roll situations where too much partying made that goal line a bit farther then it needed to be and the results can be heard on bootleg live tapes occasionally. A friend used to say " I pulled a carrot" lol. A very adequate analogy! That said In not making excuses just putting some truth out there among all the speculation. For my 4 CD trilogy I tended to stay in a semi- Comfortable range on the high end anyway but I took myself out of that easy chair for the low stuff. There are many that had no idea I could sing low notes as low as a natural E. Of course that's not the reason why I did it that way I did it for the same reason (you guessed it) as The reason why people climb mountains.
Charlie Dominici Honored to interact with you Charlie and thank you for your response! I totally understand what you are saying and I applaud you for your effort and honestly love to enjoy listening to your voice. It is very special to me and for many years I preferred yours, but I have stopped judging great singers because it’s like apple’s and oranges and if you know singing there is nothing but pure respect for vocalists. Many singers get to much unjustified critique from idiots that knows nothing about singing. I just love impressive singing techniques! and appreciate different styles. I really am impressed with your tone clear high notes, which many non-tenors tend to put more uncontrolled distortion and strain into that further fatigues the voice(big mistake). So your ability to keep the tone clear and bright even when you struggle a bit amazes me! As a baritone myself and amateur singer I understand the challenge you took on, I worked much on my high pitch range but it’s just such a marathon to improve it and takes a lot of practice and bad habits to break to get it right. I believe your voice brought an amazingly unique style to the band! I haven’t looked in the album sleeve in a long time, but did you also contribute to the lyrics?
@@djglammetal9666 I did co-write lyrics with JP on "Status Seeker" and in the early days MP and JP asked me to re-write the lyrics to a song that Chris Collins had written lyrics for. I chose to not listen to his version and wrote the lyric with no influence from that version. The result was what is arguabl
Oops. To continue: arguably one of the best songs on the album. 8 also happened to be what solidified my entrance to the band. That song was Afterlife. I don't know if I'm actually a baritone or possibly a high tenor but if you've listened to any of the part 2 and part 3 of O3 a Trilogy you'll notice that I do have a deep voice in me as well as a high voice but yeah once you get up to that be note with talking OK face, mask, stay off the throat, watch the diaphragm etc. and all that vocal training from the 6 lessons I took back in 1980.
Charlie Dominici When I was younger I didn’t really appreciate complex rock as much as I do now, so Afterlife and Status Seeker was actually my fave songs on the album funnily enough! I love the whole album today though. It’s a timeless gem! There is nothing like it, and you had an influence on that which no one can ever take away! Thank you so much for the stories behind the lyrics to the album. The lyrics on Afterlife has so many perspectives and seems deeply philosophical! Pleasure to know that you wrote them! About the vocal ranges, I could imagine that as a naturally gifted all round singer it is hard to determine one’s singing stereotype, I guess it’s just where you feel most comfortable. And I am sure you can sing everything - but what a I hinting at was that with constant performances, the “true” range/stereotype, that you feel most comfortable in, would show by where you have the best stamina over a longer time frame of daily singing, if you know what I mean? Anyway, it’s not important - you can sing everything on normal days, I am sure(growling, screamo etc not taking into account haha)... I have not heard your own albums I must admit - did not know they existed!(But I have played your DT album a 1000 times perhaps) I will check out your own ones ASAP! Hope you are doing well in general🤘🏼🎤
When Dream and Day Unite is a masterpiece, I love this album, your voice was perfect, the members of DT were idiots to have taken you out of the band because you were much better than JLB
Nem tudom, hogy ki hogy van vele, de én nagyon szeretem Charlie hangját! Szerintem egyedi, ezer közül is azonnal ráismerni. Charlie, köszönöm az első Dream Theater albumot!
@MyMytalMajesty Even though Myung starting contributing again recently, I don't think his role in the band is big enough to the point where DT would end if he left. Petrucci's the only one whose departure could actually lead to the band's end.
@@feralkitty9378 each go their own but Kevin Moore was a much tasteful player in DT than JR. KM didnt overplay and knew when to lay in and lay off. He’s also a great songwriter and has great feel in his compositions.
@@feralkitty9378absolutely not lol. Rudess can play way more notes way more perfectly, but Moore was their best songwriter during their most important years.
@@radicalstanza3614 overall rudess contributed melodically more so than moore because he just overall was a better writer than moore. And in my opinion the melodies he writes are far more beautiful and effective than kevin moores. For example, anything of the six degrees of inner turbulence song, specifically goodnight kiss. or dissapear, or the count of tuscany, ministry of lost souls, sacrificed sons. the list does not end.
@OBQM Yes....but then there's The killing hand, which labrie does absolute wonders with. Dominici does sound alright on this version, but there's also the version with him and sherinian (from late 90's) where he sounds hideous...even worse when labrie's performing part of the song with him. Now, if you'll excuse me, I think i'll click on the live at the marguee metropolis link to the right now ;P
As a child, I thought I could live without pain. Without sorrow. As a man.....I discovered this video and now I'm living in pain and sorrow because I CAN'T TAKE THIS GUY'S SINGING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dominici's voice isn't bad from what I've heard of it. But it doesn't sound quite right for Metropolis. But then that might just be from knowing it so well with Labrie.
@@tidalcliff2202 That's because it obviously does, and after 30 years, it's not like you have anything to compare it to other than a single album and a handful of demos.
Interesting to hear how much the song changed from this to studio version. The first half feels empty without JP's guitar fills. Also is it me or is the keyboard super loud and guitar super quiet here?
I'm spanish. Excuse me for my english. Charlie was the perfect choice for a band like DT. For a band in his first steps, this man pushed his style to a netx level. I don't know was happened to make the change, (business probably} also the majestic of his voice are forever in the history of DT. Saludos desde Cartagena, España.
@ScrotumCancer2 SO TRUE!! No Petrucci, No DT!! Probably i can think of Jordan's departure as a "serious injury" or something, but without Petrucci, it's just a headshot. Gotta love my analogy!!
People should take into account this is a live recording. However, this is pushing Dominici's range outside of what he's good at, at least for live performance. Still interesting to watch, though. What's the story behind the, uh, unusual channel name?
The great thing about a band that goes back 26 years is that you can see how they've evolved over the years, what trials and tribulations they've gone through.
Just came across this video. I like Charlie's vocal chops but it seems to me that his voice is definitely struggling to hit the high notes; besides, he is showing too many emotions while singing this and thereby modulates the song too much. James has a more smoother approach to this, IMHO.
when Charlie sings its like I feel 80 but he have a beautiful voice that is good for theater, however the new vocalist have a very thin voice and a high pitch voice which connected to rock, they are both better thats why dream theater decided to change the vocalist to connect with the new era now a days and they succeed, It would be the same with Angra this is more instrumental and a little bit vocals like your in a game or a vortex or whatsoever 😅
He just.. says everything so dramatically.. like a william shatner cover of it. I'm sorry, Labrie owns this song. Especially the live at the marquee version.
This is why UA-cam's new "first name, last name" policy is horrible. For a split second, I thought the real Dominici was commenting here. Fuckshitassdamnhell
@ScrotumCancer2 Eh, it depends on the music. Overall, LaBrie is better, but make no mistake, this song is NOT a Dominici-range song. He does well on this version, but the LaBrie high-pitched vocals version is obviously the best. A lot of WDaDU's material is far more Dominici-suited than LaBrie, as was evident in the 2004 reunion show.
What's the point of recording an intro that you'll never play again in the future? Since I&W, intro to this song is played from the studio recording for performances. Maiden did the same with Aces High.
@@CharlieDominiciTheSinger estimado no importa si cantaste bien o mal , lo importante es que estuviste en la formacion original de la banda progresiva de metal mas grande de la historia y cuantos cantantes pueden decir lo mismo¡? Un abrazo
@dmdollinar08 i prefer dominici because he doesn't screw up his singing wiht growls or trying to alter his tone for every song. i prefer dominici vocals to labrie on the early songs and labrie might have been a good singer for 2 years until he had his accident
Hearing this along with stuff from his self titled band honestly makes me wish he never left. His voice was always better, and still is better than Labrie's imo Original lineup was the best in terms of how they sound Though at the same time, without Labrie we might not have songs like Disappear...
@ScrotumCancer2 Touche... but at least we can ear out the difference between good vocals and bad vocals. This is awful compared to LaBrie's performance.
I think they didn’t stay with because he sounded a lot like the guy from queesrigh I don’t think I spelled that right with that said he was or is a good singer good strong voice just my opinion not facts and again he can sing but I like JL better.
@@CharlieDominiciTheSinger hi Charlie, big fan of your wdadu album. It gets 100% review score from me and it's always cool to drive at night while this is playing on my cd player. Thanks for your service!
It's no secret that the bulk of DT's repertoire is in a higher range than my natural ability to perform night after night and especially under any kind of duress. Anyone that performs vocally knows that there are many things that can affect the human voice which is much more susceptible to obstacles such as environment ( thick cigarette smoke, heat or air conditioning, humidity,too little sleep, inaudible stage monitors while the band behind you is pushing a level of decibels similar to a 747 taking off (120-130 db), too much parting, and list goes on. The truth is I probably shouldn't have even gone to the audition that fateful night when the band that hates being compared to Rush played an hour of Rush songs as I sat there thinking 'Oh I'll just sing high like Geddy and nail this gig. Of course the rest is history but in closing let me say that noticing my difficulty for any one or more of the reasons mentioned earlier is no sign of musical intuition but rather as redundant as saying James wasn't hitting the notes because he had food poisoning. When you hear me pulling a carrot on any one of these recordings it's not so much for the reasons I mentioned but more that the songs are out of my range. But getting up on stage in front of thousands of people and making them scream and jump around flashing metal horns at you is such a f*king rush that I'll tolerate any unflattering criticism however minor and from any self proclaimed music critic regardless of their knowledge of the subject. After all with the advent of the internet it seems that any 12 year old with a keyboard and mouse is a credible source on the subject. I only hope they feel the kind of rush criticizing we performers that we feel when we throw ourselves to those little lions! Rrrroar!!! Lol
I understand where you're coming from, but you're misunderstanding me. I don't take this stuff as seriously as you apparently think I do. If that were the case, I'd go into every video I can and start talking about how great Dominici is and how much Labrie sucks.
I apologize for the timing on this. I'm not making excuses but I was still writing the melody when this was recorded. =)

@ScrotumCancer2
"He was a lot better than James during the When Dream and Day Reunite reunion show" my friend
Hearing this along with stuff from his self titled band honestly makes me wish he never left. His voice was always better, and still is better than Labrie's imo
Original lineup was the best in terms of how they sound
Though at the same time, without Labrie we might not have songs like Disappear...
Missing out on Disappear wouldn't have been a bad thing.
How is dominici better in any way than James la brie, are you deaf???
@@davidescristofaros2241 have you heard James anytime past 2008? He was great but the touring hasn't worked well for his voice
what might have been..
@ScrotumCancer2 Touche... but at least we can ear out the difference between good vocals and bad vocals. This is awful compared to LaBrie's performance.
Dominici was great on WDADU, wtf happened here?
I think they didn’t stay with because he sounded a lot like the guy from queesrigh I don’t think I spelled that right with that said he was or is a good singer good strong voice just my opinion not facts and again he can sing but I like JL better.
And your name isn't?
He hits the notes, but I can tell he's struggling at many points. I personally don't really like this at all. I much prefer James
Ok, they'll keep James then. Doh!
@@CharlieDominiciTheSinger hi Charlie, big fan of your wdadu album. It gets 100% review score from me and it's always cool to drive at night while this is playing on my cd player. Thanks for your service!
It's no secret that the bulk of DT's repertoire is in a higher range than my natural ability to perform night after night and especially under any kind of duress. Anyone that performs vocally knows that there are many things that can affect the human voice which is much more susceptible to obstacles such as environment ( thick cigarette smoke, heat or air conditioning, humidity,too little sleep, inaudible stage monitors while the band behind you is pushing a level of decibels similar to a 747 taking off (120-130 db), too much parting, and list goes on. The truth is I probably shouldn't have even gone to the audition that fateful night when the band that hates being compared to Rush played an hour of Rush songs as I sat there thinking 'Oh I'll just sing high like Geddy and nail this gig. Of course the rest is history but in closing let me say that noticing my difficulty for any one or more of the reasons mentioned earlier is no sign of musical intuition but rather as redundant as saying James wasn't hitting the notes because he had food poisoning. When you hear me pulling a carrot on any one of these recordings it's not so much for the reasons I mentioned but more that the songs are out of my range. But getting up on stage in front of thousands of people and making them scream and jump around flashing metal horns at you is such a f*king rush that I'll tolerate any unflattering criticism however minor and from any self proclaimed music critic regardless of their knowledge of the subject. After all with the advent of the internet it seems that any 12 year old with a keyboard and mouse is a credible source on the subject. I only hope they feel the kind of rush criticizing we performers that we feel when we throw ourselves to those little lions! Rrrroar!!! Lol
But you are in every Dream Theater video?shut up and enjoy them!
Hey, I know you!
Los pelucas sapen!
I understand where you're coming from, but you're misunderstanding me. I don't take this stuff as seriously as you apparently think I do. If that were the case, I'd go into every video I can and start talking about how great Dominici is and how much Labrie sucks.
