James LaBrie is the extremely talented vocalist for the band Dream Theater. Born May 5th, 1963 as Kevin James LaBrie, he was raised in Penetanguishene, Ontario, Canada. He took up the drums at age 5, but later gave that up in order to pursue singing more fully. At age 21, he began vocal training with the renowned vocal coach Rosemary Patricia Burns, who remained his coach for many years.
He has also pursued several other projects, including the Canadian glam rock band Winter Rose, which was popular all around Toronto in the late 1980s. After Dream Theater fired thier former vocalist, Charlie Dominici (who performed on DT's first album "When Dream and Day Unite" - 1989) they hired LaBrie, using his middle name as a stage name to differentiate between Kevin Moore who was the keyboardist in the band when he joined.
James has also appeared on releases by Fates Warning and Shadow Gallery, Trent Gardner's Explorer's Club and Leonardo the Absolute Man, as well as tribute albums to Rush, Emerson Lake and Palmer, and Queen. In 1999, James completed and released the first MullMuzzler album, "Keep it to Yourself" to much critical acclaim. "The followup, James LaBrie's MullMuzzler 2", was released in 2001. James also contributed his vocal talents as a major character on Ayreon's 2004 rock opera, "The Human Equation." His newest record "Elements of Persuasion" was released in 2005.

Get the James LaBrie mug.Effortlessly friendly, motherly, and secretly sensitive. Always tries to fix anyone's problems which sometimes can be misunderstood as being nosey. Loves a good time. Family oriented. The one people go to for advise.

Get the Laurie mug.by Sezril February 21, 2004
Get the James LaBrie mug.Lauria is one of a kind. A Lauria is a special species. You are very lucky if you ever meet a Lauria because they are so rare. If you ever see one snatch them up because again they are one of a kind. A Lauria is completely honest in every way , but sometimes too honest. Once you experienced a Lauria your life will never be the same.

"Look! It's Lauri Ylönen!" will generally distract any Finnish-metal-fangirl long enough for you to run away and purchase the latest Rasmus CD.

Get the Lauri Ylönen mug.A special breed of woman with a grace and charm, that though... unique... still catches the eye in a pleasing way. A laurissa will treat you fairly, allowing for many chances to right a wrong, but will not wait forever. laurissas are naturally gifted in many ways, including music, science, and mathematics.
Hugging a laurissa is said to instill a wonderful bliss upon the hugger that doesn't last nearly long enough, requiring another hug very shortly after.
