Which guest singer would you like to see performing with DT?

[cebra4444]

In my case, I'd love to see Myles Kennedy from Alter Bridge singing a DT song.
What do you think? 

[Glass Moonlight]

That guy from King's X
SWEPT AWAY WITH THE TIDE!
In all seriousness, this might sound weird but I think it would be pretty neat if Thom Yorke did a song with them.

[Elite]

Damian Wilson

[Dublagent66]

Ray Alder

[iamtheeviltwin]

Sharon den Adel or Amy Lee...
I would love to hear a female lead in a song and some JLB duet with a good female singer.

Damn you, stealing my idea! But yeah, Sharon would be awesome!

[Phantasmatron]

Ray Alder

Seconded.

Steve Stone duet with James on Metropolis pt.1

Best performer ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cW0TYJN7tc&feature=related&noredirect=1

[Grinch]

Psy

[Octavaripolis]

I'd love to see Anna Ternheim + James LaBrie doing something in the style beneath the surface.

None. They could do some covers and invite people over like Russ Allen/the other guys for Cemetery Gates, but I wouldn't want guest singers on DT's album, because that would mean the song wouldn't be performed live (unless they'd plan on bringing that person out for just one song every night), which would be a shame if it were a good song. And I'd quite dislike a JLB/Sharon/Amy/Whoever duet, because Dream Theater is the type of band that... how do I put this... does things for the sake of doing things. They wouldn't write a song and conclude it would go well as a duet and then add a singer, they'd just write one straight away and I don't think that would turn out too well.

Psy

You just made me picture Jordan Rudess doing the Gangnam Style dance. Curse you....

Myles Kennedy, Matt Bellamy, and Michael Eriksen joining James and the rest Of Dream Theater for one song would be epic.   You've got Matt, who first got me into high male vocals, Myles, who has a great hard rock tone, along with fantastic range, and Michael, who, to my ears, is a mix of Myles and James Labrie, with a just a touch of fellow Norwegian vocalist Morten Harket of pop legends a-ha.

Imagine it, Blackbird meets the Exogenesis Symphony meets Architect of Fortune meets Metropolis Pt. 1 (four songs you should know (six if you count the symphony as three parts))

At the end of the day, This.

Loretta Lynn

[Lolzeez]

Mikael Akerfeldt.

[lithium112]

Mikael Akerfeldt.

Death metal Mikael Akerfeldt or clean Mikael Akerfeldt?

[wolfking]

Chris Collins

[Lolzeez]

Mikael Akerfeldt.

Death metal Mikael Akerfeldt or clean Mikael Akerfeldt?

Clean please. I don't like the cookie monster too much.

[The Presence of Frenemies]

Mike Portnoy.

/obligatory

Seriously though, an interesting one would be hearing Tony Harnell give one of the I&W songs a go. He sounds a lot like LaBrie did back in those days.

[Captain Reddot]

I'd love to see what Dickinson would be like singing something like Learning to Live or Take The Time.

[Cedar redaC]

Frank Sinatra

[marztacy]

Simone simmons 

[wolfking]

I'd love to see what Dickinson would be like singing something like Learning to Live or Take The Time.

He doesn't have anywhere near the range to pull these songs off.

[RaiseTheKnife]

^^^^  King Diamond  ^^^^^  singing March of the Tyrant.  The shock, the awe, the elaaaaation!

(valuable insight producing effect.....)

[Tunnel Vision]

Mikael Akerfeldt.

How about both clean and growl?

Mikael's live versions of Repentance & Nightmare are swell if you do not mind the growl style

Specifically, I think a studio recorded album would be cool, not a live performance necessarily

[Octavaripolis]

Mikael Akerfeldt.

Death metal Mikael Akerfeldt or clean Mikael Akerfeldt?

Clean please. I don't like the cookie monster too much.

Agreed.

[DebraKadabra]

If Freddie Mercury was still alive...

Clean please. I don't like the cookie monster too much.

Agreed.

To me, Death growls are the Cayenne pepper of music. In some situations, it takes what was good and makes it better by adding a certain kick that you just can't get any other way. Used incorrectly, however, it's just terrible, ruining the music.

I don't always like Death growls, but when I do, they are layered with clean vocals. It adds extra dimension to the song.

I'd argue EVERYTHING'S like that. You know, everything you can add to music. Any type of vocs at all. Furthermore, there are people who don't listen to any other music but the one containing harsh vocs of any kind.

It's just, people hating on death growls is one of my pet peeves... it just takes some time to get used to AT MOST, rare are the people who have listened to that type of music extensively and still hate the vocals. We could at least try not calling them "cookie monster vocals", or at least put some "-" in there

[CodyWanKenobi]

Myles Kennedy. Hmmm maybe even Claudio Sanchez from Coheed and Cambria. That would be really interesting.

If they played some older DT songs with guests:

Matt Bellamy on Never Enough
Maynard James Keenan on The Great Debate
Chester Bennington on These Walls
James Hetfield on Constant Motion
Bono on I Walk Beside You



yeah, I'm THAT clever... but hey, someone had to do it, right?

Seriously, I'd like to hear a duet with some favorite singer of mine with a voice different enough to James' - Tomi Joutsen or Jonas Renkse, for example.

[DebraKadabra]

Robert Wynia, of Floater.  I would die a very happy goil if that were ever to come to pass.

Bill Murray

Peter Gabriel on Solsbury Shell
