i was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if it looked like James LaBrie himself was the one saying the stuff i'm writing in my posts? i mean, i'm not a famous rock star or anything, but i thought it'd be a neat little way to pay tribute to someone i really admire. it's not about copying him or anything like that, it's more like a nod of appreciation. i flipped my avatar horizontally to make it seem like he's facing the other way, you know, like he's looking at the words i'm typing and saying them with his unique voice. it's a bit quirky, i'll admit, but it's just something fun i wanted to do. it's not like i'm trying to fool anyone into thinking i'm James LaBrie or anything crazy like that. it's just a small, creative way to express my fandom.
