did they ever announce what's wrong with him?

MykeHavoc · « **Reply #176 on:** December 19, 2010, 09:06:02 PM »

From what we gathered, its nothing life-threatening. He was just burnt out. Almost seemed like they implied that he has inherited some sort of anxiety issue or something.

Adami · « **Reply #177 on:** December 19, 2010, 10:11:14 PM »

I'm actually pretty curious what they sound like with Fabio.

This is just what Kamelot needs, the singer of the cheesiest metal band to ever exist.

You know who would be awesome filling in for Roy? Damien Wilson....think about it.

Zook · « **Reply #178 on:** December 19, 2010, 10:58:05 PM »

Ok I thought about it for like 3 seconds and Damien singing Forever just wouldn't work.

Why not? His voice is insane and he has pretty much the exact range and natural tone as Roy.

Fabio will be interesting, but he wouldn't sing the songs the way Roy did at all.

His natural tone is as far away from Khan's as it is possible.

I still think he'd be a great fill in.

Adami · « **Reply #182 on:** April 09, 2011, 04:01:26 PM »

So they had their first show with Fabio. Here are some vids.

Not as bad as I thought it'd be.

Pretty good. Strong accent though. So did Khan have a mental breakdown or what?

It seems something like that, and he apparently discovered god or something. They said they haven't thought about getting a new singer yet, but once the tour is done, they'll have to figure it out.

I'm not familiar with Fabio, but the hunters season video was pretty good. I just wish Roy was ok, he really made Kamelot special.

Kosmo · « **Reply #187 on:** April 10, 2011, 05:30:23 AM »

It might just be my pessimistic attitude towards everything but i'm quite sure Roy is leaving Kamelot behind.

With that said: ROY, PLEASE MAKE MUSIC WITH CONCEPTION.

wolfking · « **Reply #188 on:** April 10, 2011, 05:37:55 AM »

Yeah, Roy's gone, no doubt. Youngblood said in an interview not too long ago that if they have to replace him, that's exactly what they will do.

Just checked out that Hunters Season live clip and Fabio sounded really amazing!!

TheVoxyn · « **Reply #189 on:** April 10, 2011, 10:57:24 AM »

Roy is gone? I haven't followed the news at all but I was under the impression that he would only be gone for one tour. He discovered god? O jeez.

Roy was the major reason I liked Kamelot, he was absolutely awesome live. Can't imagine Kamelot without him.

Kosmo · « **Reply #190 on:** April 10, 2011, 12:22:52 PM »

It isn't written in stone yet but it's apparently obvious he isn't interested in music now.

DarkLord_Lalinc · « **Reply #191 on:** April 10, 2011, 12:26:56 PM »

It sounds good. I take Roy Khan any day over Fabio, but it's a good vocal performance nonetheless. There's still something about his extreme vibratto that I don't love.

Kosmo · « **Reply #192 on:** April 10, 2011, 12:55:00 PM »

Everyone i know doesn't like that he uses so much vibrato in his voice, am i the only one who absolutely adores it?

abydos · « **Reply #193 on:** April 10, 2011, 02:26:00 PM »

People seem to hate that. I remember when there were all sorts of posts complaining about James using too much vibrato at one point. I like Fabio in one song that I heard years ago but he seems to sound a bit whiny on the clips of Kamelot that I've seen.

I'm a vibrato fan, it's like everyone bagging out Tobias Sammet (Edguy/Avantasia) for his very wide vibrato. I never understood the hate, I love it!

Well, he's officially out.

Kosmo · « **Reply #196 on:** April 22, 2011, 04:34:25 AM »

I just don't know what to think, he is one of my favorite vocalists of all time...Atleast this didn't come out of nowhere.

Guess i'll listen to Kamelot's discography today..

ariich · « **Reply #197 on:** April 22, 2011, 04:36:17 AM »

Dammit.

His voice is one of the best things about Kamelot.

wolfking · « **Reply #198 on:** April 22, 2011, 05:51:14 AM »

I'm glad it's finally official to be honest, although Khan did say that Youngblood told him to think about it for a while. I wonder where Kamelot will go from here, really now, the only core members left are Grillo and Youngblood.

I did read that, but tried to ignore it.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #201 on:** April 22, 2011, 09:14:41 AM »

This sucks. It looked like it was inevitable though, it's not like it was entirely unexpected at this point.

I think I'll miss him more for his lyrics than his voice. He had a great voice, but it was the lyrics that imo elevated Kamelot above other power metal.

GuineaPig · « **Reply #202 on:** April 22, 2011, 11:11:03 AM »

I would also like to point out I prophesied this before all of this happened:

Quote from: GuineaPig on September 17, 2010, 08:46:52 PM

New and updated top 50 is here, to the consternation of many!

50. Irea (from Siége Perilous)
49. The Light I Shine On You (from Karma)
48. Blücher (from Ghost Opera)

47. My Train of Thoughts (from Poetry for the Poisoned)

The first of a number of new tracks from Poetry for the Poisoned, "My Train of Thoughts" would be right at home among the dark, introspective songs on Ghost Opera. The lyrics are brooding and indecipherable; I sincerely hope they have nothing to do with what Khan's experiencing right now, because that combined with the crowd applause/passing train at the beginning would not bode well at all for his future in Kamelot. Rampant speculation aside, the orchestration on this song is simply phenomenal. While the guitar chugs, the strings and female vocals rise and fall, creating an incredibly dense tapestry of melodies to go over the repeating guitar. Seriously, listen to that chorus with a good set of headphones; as Adami noted in the other thread, while the production for the guitar might leave something to be desired, the production on the keyboards and vocals are top-notch. The guitar interlude is very "Human Stain"-esque in its style and abruptness; this is another of the times I wish Kamelot would experiment with song structures more, as the melodies in this song beg for something greater than a condensed 4 minute tune. Regardless, very cool track.

46. The Inquisitor (from The Fourth Legacy)

I don't know why people think its cause he found God, when he wrote a song about Jesus' persecution.

Doesn't mean things can't change over time. I hope he will at least do a solo career (Neal Morse), he's just too good to give up singing.

Grillo isn't even on the first 3 records.

It's because they said he found god. Recently.

Ben_Jamin · « **Reply #207 on:** April 22, 2011, 12:15:57 PM »

It sounds like he just wants to live a simple life with his family.

I'm with you there Wolfie. Big fan of Toby's voice and his songwriting.
