Talk:James LaBrie

message: LaBrie was the first choice to replace Bruce Dickinson? UGH! I never heard of that before. I remember the final three were Andre Matos (Angra), Doogie White (Rainbow, Yngwie Malmsteen), and Blaze Bayley (Wolfsbane). Well, the Blaze era wasn't exactly successful for Maiden (not to say TXF and VXI weren't good albums), but it's sure a lot better than having LaBrie as the singer. Good thing he declined (if that's really true). Malmsteen Maiden 06:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  LaBrie in Maiden? 

message: For some reason, JLB's inspiration is labeled as needing a quote - without an audio sample it's hard to prove, yet Octavarium as a whole track is an homage to progressive rock and metal up to date, and anyone who has listened to the track closely can see the influence. Should the tag be removed? Stealth 23:22, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know about any audio sample, but the french web site www.metal-immortel.com interviewed JL and asked him about his favorites singers and his influence. Here's the link http://www.metal-immortel.com/dream_theater_interview.htm to the article (the fifth question). He named Freddie Mercury (Queen), Steve Perry (Journey), Lou Gramm (Foreigner), Matthew (Muse), Ronnie James Dio (Black Sabbath), Rob Halford (Judas Priest) and even the young Steven Tyler (Aerosmith).

message: I have heard that LaBrie had been classically trained, that is, operatically. Is this true and if so, can we get a sourced add to the article? Also  James LaBrie has trained with rock singer "Jamie Vandera." [User:ThuranX|ThuranX]] 03:55, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

message: It seems that someone finds it funny to call LaBrie "Lord" Kevin James LaBrie. I've removed these edits. Petska 20:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see they just struck again. LaBrie's a good vocalist, but I don't think he's quite worthy of a title... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.229.225.137 (talk) 15:33, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

message: Dream theater is NOT a christian band, therefore LaBrie is not a "Category:Performers of Christian music."

replies: text:  Hey User -I have always suspected LaBrie was the smartest and most interesting guy in Dream Theater, and I too was pleased to see that his profile says that he is no longer a Christian.  HOWEVER.  By using homophobic remarks like that you are not putting up an argument at all -in fact, you are singing the same song as that religion you dislike, which doesn't like homosexuals either.  I've never met LaBrie, but from what I understand he is a really cool dude, and is much more mature than his bandmates.  Please keep the low-class talk out of LaBrie's entry at least, because he is very classy.  Teetotaler 24 June, 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.68.22.207 (talk) 04:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

message: James made a few guest appearances on an album by Roswell Six that was released back in June. Someone should add this to the article in the proper format. He appears on three tracks.

message: The page says that James LaBrie plays keyboards and drums. However, I didn't find any information on the internet that supports the info of him playing keyboards. Could somebody send me the reference link? CobCannon (talk) 08:04, 6 February 2011 (UTC)

message: Page says that he divorced his wife and came out as gay, and is in a relationship with an Argentine singer, but the singer's name has changed once or twice in an hour and the statement doesn't cite a source.
