Wow I just talked to James on Facebook chat.

[jimbosile]

I think I would lose it if I actually spoke to him. I wrote something on Kristoffer Gildenlow's status once and he directly replied to me and it was such a strange feeling that one of my favourite musicians said something to me.

[The Silent Cody]

HE spoke to me  !!!! Yeah great feeling !!!

I said: - James, I just want to tell you Hello from Poland I'm very excited of ADTOE, I'm sure that album will rocks!!! Greets and see you on 28th July in Katowice!!!ROCK ON!
JLB: - For sure, looking forward to it. Our Polish fans are amazing. See you then.

Someone would tell that this is nothing, but for me is very much. God !!! so amazing day today, news about new album, excitement, and little chat with James!!! More days like this

[Zydar]

Nice

[Tomislav95]

Great day for you! I would be much happier if they come to Croatia this summer

[Super Dude]

Wait a minute!  I'm friends with a James LaBrie on Facebook, meaning I've been gyped!  Anyone know how to find Kevin LaBrie?  I did a search and he didn't turn up.

[EpicCookie]

guys why don't you look on Dreamtheater . net for the official facebook pages? it's on there right?

[Super Dude]

I'm not entirely sure if they have it on there, because I remember for example when Portnoy was still in DT he'd had his email address on there, but then he started getting a lot of hate mail and removed it.  Also I see you're new here, so welcome EpicCookie (love the name )!  Enjoy your time here!

I talked to him a while back, asking for some singing technique advice... Got like a two paragraph response  such a cool guy. I didint want to do the typical fanboy thing. I figured he would appreciate an interesting topic.

I asked him a question once, but he didn't reply

What did he say exactly? Did you save the convo?

I did not save the convo, but i still do the exercise he told me about every day... Basically, humming from the lowest note you can to as high as you can. He told me some other stuff to that's kinda obvious but its reassuring to hear this kind of stuff from someone who knows his shit.

[Plasmastrike]

He just replied to me

Me:
"On The Backs Of Angels is DT returning to true form. The vox sound fucking killer, you can tell extra time was spent on them"

JLB:
"glad you noticed and for sure patience does a lot for any situation. take care and see you out there."

Interesting.

DAMMIT, I just checked and he's not on!  I'll just have to message him LMAO

Does James have an ordinary FB-page? I know about his fan page, but since you are chatting with him I guess he also has a normal page. But how do you know its the real James? Anyone could be pretending to be him.

I could tell from his profile pic from your screenshot, is this his profile then?

Yes, that's him.

He linked it from his Twitter numerous times, so yeah it's him.

[2Timer]

I got replies from him a couple months ago too. Just a couple little lines, but it was really cool nonetheless.

            for sure. Take care and can't wait for you and everyone else to hear the new music.

Nothing special, I know, but I still thought it was awesome to get a couple of replies from him.

[TheMadgician]

Finally got a chance to talk to him. Told him about the Campaign to get DT on Conan and wished him well on the tour.

He seemed pretty positive about the campaign. It was basically awesome.

[chrisbDTM]

i talked to him tonight too


just told him the concerts are sounding great, and cant wait to see them in the states

[GasparXR]

Just added him. Had to build up some courage for that, even though I know he's such an approachable guy. I agree with everyone here -- it has to feel weird. But I mean, all the DT guys have pretty much met most of their idols at one point in their lives and it probably felt weird at first.

[Guitalguy]

James accepted me as well, and when I looked on his friend list on the left, I saw JP's profile. His pic is of his family in front of a christmas tree, and he has 1800 friends, so it seems valid. Does anyone know?
Here's the link: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1674214586&sk=info

And also, when looking at JP's profile, I found Jordan's. That too seems valid, he's added education info and all, haha.

Just want to hear what you guys think, there are very many fake profiles out there. I just thought since they're friends with the real James, it seems likely that these are real too.

[chrisbDTM]

the JP one might be fake, cause that picture is available on his website. so you never know

[The Silent Cody]

Yeah, these JP's pictures with his family are available on the net so it could be fake... JR...it seems to be fake...we'll never know probably

[Dillster22]

JR...it seems to be fake...we'll never know probably

Studied Keyboard at Interantional Music University 

[Guitalguy]

I see, thanks.

And the typo in JR's page ("interantional") supports upon the thoughts of it being fake, yes 

[bloop]

Judging from the spelling and grammatical mistakes in his bio, I seriously doubt it's real. 

At the age of nine, i was entered the prestigious Juilliard School of Music for classical piano training

Also,

Interested In: Men and Women

This, I was not aware of.

This is the real JR facebook profile and that JP one is real as well.

[jonny108]

I'm sure that JP one isn't real. 

[Tunnel Vision]

The JP one isn't real because on Rena's fb page, it says she is married to this profile.

[Lumiukko]

Wow, that's cool. Now i have one reason to reactivate my FB account. 

[Firetruck]

James for sure likes to say "for sure" a lot. 

[The Letter M]

James for sure likes to say "for sure" a lot. 

I believe it's a Canadian thing!

Tried to add JLB and i got a message ''sorry this user already has too many friend requests''. So i guess i came late..What about if i try another day?

I am a bassist and a really great fan of Myung's playing!I would really like some playing advice from him!Is there a chance JM having an fb account?
