I don't think that vocal coach is an issue there.  :millahhhh

I'm still waiting for that cover (no backing track!) of Somewhere over the Rainbow, Nicky.

Hey this is totally off topic, but since Nicky doesn't seem to post much and we were talking about my singing before, could you guys tell me what you think of this one? I'd love to hear what your critiques are.  :metal

Thanks!  :rollin

And Nicky when you do get back here to the thread, I'd love to do a Metropolis duo  :metal It'll be a fun extreme challenge. Plus NO ONE will be disappointed. But I'm serious it would be fun even if it isn't perfect.

Nicky's website is gone, so I guess maybe he figured it was finally time to pull the plug on being the singer of Dream Theater.  :(

Yeah that would be cool to do!  :smiley:

I've been away for some time indeed. Worked really hard to improve my voice and I'm still in a band, but we're still working out covers and songs yet.
I've made a new cover, it's a while back I recorded the last one haha.

This time it's not a DT song actually  ;D  this one is from Alter Bridge, Cry of Achilles, hope you enjoy :)

When I saw there was a new post in this thread, I got excited...and then I saw it was Nicky himself that posted and I nearly jumped off the couch and imitated Nicky imitating James LaBrie kicking the air.  Then I saw it was not a DT cover and I got sad. 

I do have to say, I love certain things about the new video.  I like the decorating you've done.  A single Gears of War poster held up by what appears to be a single piece of tape.  Ok, it was only one thing I loved....but Nicky is back!!!!

Damn it, now cover some more Dream Theater.

 Nicky, now that you're back would you consider this question? Is there any truth to the rumor that the reason JLB is singing out of his skin this tour is that you're  along for the ride serving as his understudy and pressuring him to perform or be replaced? I just got back from seeing the band in Seattle and McCaw Hall was abuzz with speculation that there was a prodigy traveling with the band waiting to pounce when and if JLB's voice cracked. Even if this is a malicious rumor, I'm glad you're back. Could it be a coincidence that you've chosen to resurrect your DTF persona during Easter week, or is this a sign of greater powers at work?

Nicky, I'm totally being honest here the new is video is not perfect but good. Considering the old videos of yours I see much more control and stability in your voice.

Haha well that's someting I want you to answer  :yarr and no it's not true I guess  ;D

Thanks! And you're right , my old videos are laughable, especially the oldest ones  :D

I made a new video, and I think it's even better since the latest one because the stability and control of my voice has more improved. This time it's Fallout from The mayfield Four.
And I promise, next time it will be another Dream Theater song of their latest record  ;D
Let me know what ya think and hope ya guys like it  :metal :biggrin:
