Orion....that's the one with a bunch of power chords and boringly harsh vocals, isn't it?

One of the greatest singers ever; 9 great albums and a great ep with Dream Theater, 4 great solo releases, and countless great guest appearances. I can't wait to see what he brings to the new DT album.

That 'Take the Time' clip is incredible! JLB sounded brilliant on it; much better than he sounds on recent live albums (as far back as OIALT).

PS. I'm aware of Shrimpgate...  ;)

There's that overused "-gate" again...

Anyway, JLB is one of my favourite singers, and judging from interviews and video clips, he seems to have a really cool personality. JLB all the way. :tup

His voice is what first got me into DT, so I think he has most definitely earned my appreciation.

Go to 4:35 in The Killing Hand - Live at the Marquee. This is another one of the many reasons I appreciate him.

James has arguably the toughest job to do as ANYTHING, no matter how insignificant it may seem, can affect his voice.  Since everyone has a voice of their own but not everyone plays guitar/keys/drums, it's easy for people to hear when James is off but not so much when the other guys are.  It's a difficult career but I think he pulls it off perfectly more often than not.

I hope with MP gone James will up his front-man stage presence.  I've always felt it very lacking but that could have been cuz MP was doing so much to engage the audience from behind the kit.  Now is his time to shine and engage the crowd better/more.

JLB is lacking as a frontman, but as a singer and a classy gentleman, he is amazing.  If DT had any other singer, I'm not sure if I'd be into them as much as I am.  *appreciates to the max*

His voice is a perfect fit for DT. Met him once on the ToT tour. He was in a hurry but gladly stopped to give me an autograph and picture. Polite and humble. I like em!

Yeah, SI is good, but Elements of Persuasion is still much better, I think.
