Title: All the DT tracks containing Portnoy vocals?
Post by: energythief on June 29, 2010, 12:45:28 PM
My buddy and I came up with this idea for a playlist... apart from "Glass Prison" and "Nightmare to Remember" I'm frankly drawing a blank, and could use your help. What DT tracks has MP featured on vocals? I'll update the first post for any fellow bluebeard-minded fans.

EDIT: Remembered "Repentance" and "The Shattered Fortress".

Lots of them. More new ones than old ones. I can't remember before 6 degrees, but here's what I got, though there's more to add.

Panick Attack.
The Root of All Evil
I Walk Beside You
In The Name of God
As I Am
Prophets of War
The Shattered Fortress
Repentence
The Count of Tuscany
The Dark Eternal Night
A Rite of Passage
New Millenium
Hollow Years
Octavarium
Blind Faith
Forsaken
Constant Motion
In The Presence of Enemies Pt. 2


There's more. But that's a decent list, unless you don't count songs with him just doing back up vocals.

Oh yea, forgot the mirror.


Can future posters just add to the curent lists instead of rehashing every song?

Wow, I had no idea there were this many... are most of these backing vocals? What parts does he sing specifically? I'll add that info in... time to start spinning some tunes!

I think almost all of these are backing vocals, anyway:
Just Let Me Breathe ("step right in")
Through Her Eyes
One Last Time
Finally Free
Misunderstood

You're right on the Honor Thy Father thing, forgot about that.

But is the speaking Portnoy? It might be Petrucci.

Nope, it's planned. It's probably easier for JLB to come right in at "Owiiiiigh think it's time for a cha-ee-angeee!!" as opposed to doing the whole beginning.

I imagine it's more for fans to be entertained with cha-ee-angeee on an old song. I can't really see how it would be easier.

My bad. He doesn't sing on the studio version, but in L@B he does sing. I thought he sang them on the studio version too.

It's a keyboard sample! That's allways what I've thought, it doesn't sound like MP or JP

Live it's obviously sampled. But I doubt there's any samples out there of a random person saying "My soul is yours dark master, I will fight for you".

It has a lot of effects on it, but rest assured it is indeed a human being saying it. Probably John Petrucci.

Though I guess it's pretty arguable to say that Petrucci is human.

Portnoy does the same on the Once in a LIVEtime version, with LaBrie coming in at 'I think it's time for a chay-ee-ange'

James LaBrie must've needed extra time to catch his breath...
