It'd be very tricky, but I think Roy Khan would probably be the closest fit. He's got a good range, strong voice, and a bit of a snarl when the time is right. I'm not sure if he's got the versatility, though.

I don't mind him deciding what course to take (with PoS), he is pretty damn good at what he does  :corn.

Daniel Gildenlow can most definitely do everything James does just as well if not ten times better.

Who's Roy Kahn?
would have thought the same thing but seeing the OP was TAC i immediately thought Maiden or DT related
Winger Theater Forums........or WTF.  ;D
TAC got a higher score than me in the electronic round? Honestly, can I just drop out now? :lol

Kamelot's vocalist.

Would be interesting to hear him sing some DT material, he is an amazing vocalist.

Yea. Problem is that he wouldn't quite fit in with the band.

Yep. I think the only party in the MP/DT situation that hasn't moved on is DTF.

Aye!

Dunno how you are on power metal (of which this song more or less is), but have a little listen to his voice. Even if you're not too fond of the music, go to about 4:40 and wait for the call and return. V. cool. Till more or less the end. Powerful, passionate, reaches high notes, enunciates well. His voice is quite low, by and large, though. Lower than JLB's.

TBH, I don't think that any of the names mentioned thus far would be great fits.

Therefore, I would humbly volunteer to help the guys out and sub for JLB.
Hef is right on all things. Except for when I disagree with him. In which case he's probably still right.

Thanks Rob. I love power metal.
But I've never been able to pull the trigger on any Kamelot. I do like what I hear.

Lol Ripper's cool but HELL NO. Russell Allen for me although it would be comical when during a live song he goes off on an exaggerated singing melody tangent.

The funny thing is that Tim Owens could do it and would be a nice fit for the band if something were to happen to James (god forbid).  He'd probably be treated slightly better by DT fans than the Iced Earth ones, too  :tup

some pretty interesting suggestions, and yeah, I would hate to see DT go on without him, but it's just one of those "what if" situations.

Tim Owens would be cool

For the record though, I'm 100% with those who agree that it's not DT w/out JLB. Hey JLB, stick around please ;D

Charlie Dominici.






























Just Kidding. Tim Owens and Ray Alder would be good. Roy Kahn would be interesting as well. However, DT is not DT without Good 'Ol LaBrie. I'd actually prefer that DT breaks up or becomes a seldom-releasing album band with guest singers (However this would stop the essence of DT). But it wouldn't work permanently without James.

The guy from Circus Maximus.

This stupid band better release new matierial soon before the world forgets who they ~were~


Mikeal Anderson or Jorne Lande would be nice fits too...I could see Devin Townsend filling in nicely for Labrie too....quiet when needs to be...a screamer when it could be warranted oh..and he's canadian too.
Take care everyone - Bet you all didn't even notice I was gone.

Happy Lives to you all.

No one. I can't imagine DT with anyone else singing at this point.

Yeah, I'm not saying I'd ever want him replaced, but I was thinking in the instance that it did happen.

Imagine Akerfeldt singing take the time

Buuuut, imagine the potential the metal tracks could have.

I can quickly imagine DT losing me as a fan in that scenario.
As a basic rule, if you hate it, you must solely blame Portnoy. If it's good, then you must downplay MP's contribution to the band as not being important anyway, or claim he's just lying. It's the DTF way.

Oh don't think so small. I can see them losing several fans in that scenario.

I was, to clarify however, speaking of future metal tracks. I wasn't specifically angling for him to bring out the searing roaring barrage seen in the bridge of Serenity Painted Death(5:28 in) even though I'd love to see how that would work during that part at 8:04 into The Glass Prison with him trading off with MP like this:

MP(same voice he originally used throughout): Enter the door!
Mikael(rororo voice): Desperate
MP: Fighting no more!
Mikael: Help me restore!

...and so on.

That's rather dismissive. I think JLB is reaching for what ain't there on those parts, there are female vocalists out there who could sing it with more balls.

Do you just not like death vox? It's fine if you don't and I'd understand where you're coming from a lot better if so.

Oh I understood that just fine. The problem is that I LOATHE cookie monster vocals, and having someone like Akerfeldt in there is gonna mean there's more of them than there already (unfortunately) is. (And yes, I realize that technically speaking, there are no cookie monster vocals on a DT album yet, but TDEN and ANtR have some vocals that are too close for comfort already).
