Hypothetical DT: LaBrie leaves, and another 7-guy audition is held. Who?

[Infinite Cactus]

Young Sammy Hagar

Montrose young Sammy or VH young Sammy

Either one really. In Van Halen he used to nail high A5's and shit all the time. More importantly, he can sing any style, and any emotion. He definitely has the range, the only problem is his lyrics are usually awful and he has trouble/dislikes singing anyone elses lyrics. Although a few of his lyrics were pretty fantastic.

Jorn Lande

Geoff Tate

[Jamesman42]

Wow, no Chris Collins or Charlie Dominici answers? Unless I missed them.


Jem Godfrey (hey, if anything else, double keys would be AWESOME in DT)
Russell Allen
Ray Alder
Neal Morse (lol)

[TAC]

Why even do this?

I agree..but since we are..there's only one..Michael Kiske!

Actually Michel Luppe from Vision Divine would be fine too.

[DeanTheater]

Maynard.




Your mind has just been blown to smithereens

[Jirpo]

Mike Portnoy

Seriously though, Geoff Tate.

[JayOctavarium]

Steve Stone

Alex Naylor

[RG93]

Nicky Spanjaards

[pain of occupation]

havent pondered it in years, but i always used to think sebastian bach would be the guy to bring in if james was on his way out (flame shield up[?])

Oh Nicky, dear sweet Nicky

[Bolsters]

I was thinking about this topic, and then I was imagining how Russell Allen would sing some of DT's stuff, especially something like The Glass Prison, and...damn. He would nail shit like that, especially the I can't escape it... and Fatal descent... parts at the beginning would be amazing.

[?]

The same guys who auditioned in '90!

[Odysseus]

Gotta be Russell Allen... but I wouldn't want Russ to leave SX either..... quandary!!! 

[Aniland]

Didn't even think of Hansi. Okay, he's a contender now. That awesome German accent...

[IdoSC]

Guys, talking about Nicky. Do you know his drummer left the DT Clon...err Era IV?

[DarkLord_Lalinc]

The sweaty guy from the DT tribute videos in youtube.


His audition would be held in a car.

[SystematicThought]

If Nevermore breaks up, I'll gladly take Warrel Dane

[mrjazzguitar]

if petrucci quit or was unable to continue, that would be the end of the DT.

But if James quit or was unable to continue, they could find a replacement.

They could, but that would be just weird. James-less DT is something I don't want to think about.

If Nevermore breaks up, I'll gladly take Warrel Dane

I love Warrel, but I highly doubt he'd fit in DT. Neither his voice nor his lyrics really gel with DT's sound, IMO.

But on the subject of Nevermore...I will say that when MP quit, I was hoping Van Williams would replace him, though.

Wait...

What if MP replaces Van Williams now?

Haha! That'd be interesting, wouldn't it? I really don't see much of a future for Nevermore, though. The last album was garbage, and it's easy to see why Loomis and Williams left after it. Without Loomis around, is it really Nevermore anymore? It'd probably just turn into stuff like Warrel's solo album, which doesn't really go with the traditional Nevermore sound.

It'd be hilarious to hear vocal tradeoffs between Warrel and MP, though!

Haha I could see that happening! It would be quite interesting though, but as you said, I think Nevermore may call it quits after this. Jeff had a significant role in the band and now that him and the drummer are gone, they may lose their Nevermore sound overall

Russell Allen or this guy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r28LLqyXBKs

Edit: That guy's name is Will Shaw, he nails the LaTM version of the 'found it's all caught up with me' lyric (3:34) in that vid. There's no doubt he has the range, but there aren't many singers that I can think of that belt out the notes with so much power like LaBrie, and this guy doesn't have that same effect - not knocking him though he has a great voice!

[ekuban]

I think the dude from the band Wolf would be a good one to audition if it were to happen. Please dont leave James.

Crikey! Yeah I forgot all about Will Shaw. Good call!

I might have heard wrong, but didn't that just happen>
