Hit LaBrie's F# sharp in "Learning to Live"

[Mebert78]

In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Images and Words, I thought it might be fun for people to post videos of themselves trying to hit JLB's F# sharp in "Learning to Live." Just the 15 seconds or so of "woooahs" featuring the F# sharp, not the whole song. Good or bad, just for fun.

You first.

There was a time when I could hit and hold that note with power most days, with proper warmup.  But I haven't sung in that range in a long time.  I just don't have that upper end of my range anymore and would have to spend months of work to build back to it.

That's ok, James doesn't have it either.

Where's Nicky Spanjaards when we need him?

What if I hit it on my guitar?  Does that count?

[MoraWintersoul]

Not that hard for most women, but not that many women on this forum

Okay, I'll embarrass myself lol. I did it without hearing the song right before so hopefully the notes are correct.

That was great!

[Mebert78]

Well done, man!  Thank you for sharing. You're the first brave soul, lol

I can do the 2017 live rendition with it down a half step, but F5 is the height of my range.

[Shadow2222]

Thanks for the compliments. I may not have the best sounding voice, but I have a pretty wide falsetto range! Always thought about auditioning for a power metal band or something haha

[krands85]

Nice job Shadow  I can hit the note, but the actual tone of my voice sounds like dogshit, so I won't be posting a clip 

[Dublagent66]

Been a fan for 30 years.  Used to be able to hit that fucker.  Not anymore.

The classic.

[Deadeye21]

I used to be able to, but I grew up and more recently my voice has diminished from being sick. People can crap on JLB's voice all they want, but that is damn hard to hit and he does it amazingly.

The one and only worthy rendition (not me but I do love this video and the brave soul uploading it):

Awesome!! 🤘

BTW my personal favorite live moment captured of the F# is this one. I guess it means more because it's around 2005 and you really didn't expect him to do it this powerful at that point:

Oh nice! Do you remember that moment as something special when you saw it? I remember that video kind of made the F# exciting again 😁

This could be one of those great life regrets 

Just for fun though(I guess I'm the second brave soul?)

This was great! I'll give it a shot later

Very nice!  You nailed it.  I have the same broom, by the way, lol.

[jimgolf]

Thanks man! It's the metal broom

Okay so i actually warmed up before I did this one and used my mic this time. The first one I just did on a whim so I think it came out better.
