Best and worst vocalists.

I watched some live stuff on youtube. I guess the high stuff can get annoying but I`ve kind of thought that about anyone who sings that style of music. Everyone has their preferences I guess.

But I wouldn't call him the worst. He's a kazillion times better than someone like Macy Gray.

He was perfect when i saw him, too. Perfect at being the guy i dont want to listen to while the other guys play.

LaBrie pre-throat destroying infection = wow. That is pretty cool.

Labrie post-throat destroying infection = wow. That is horrible.

On the records after the clam incident (it was bad clams, right?), you can just tell that his vocal chords were decimated. He could still sing, sure, but his range was so limited and he had to sing through his nose. That was the problem.

Beforehand he was awesome. He didn't get nasally often when he went up into the high register, and he could (sometimes) convincingly growl. The Glass Prison Gigantour beginning with him and Labrie going back and forth is pretty sweet.

When was this infection? Cause i've held this opinion ever since i saw the SFAM Dvd.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

On December 29, 1994, while vacationing in Cuba, LaBrie suffered a severe case of food poisoning and while vomiting, ruptured his vocal cords. He saw three throat specialists who all said there was nothing they could do for him and the only thing he could do was rest his voice as much as possible. However, on January 12, 1995, and against doctor's orders, he was on the "Awake" tour in Japan with his voice far from normal. James has said he didn't feel vocally "normal" until at least 1997.

That pretty much pegs it. It was right after Awake that it happened, and ever since then I swear I can hear a strong difference. Obviously during subsequent studio albums they've had time to pace things so that he can get close to his old style, but even live today you can hear a complete difference from his older live stuff.

Or maybe it's just James Hetfield syndrome; singing beyond his own physical capabilities for too long wearing down the vocal chords over time.
