As the frontman for Dream Theater, James LaBrie is the distinct voice for one of the most influential bands in progressive rock and metal history. Beyond his globe-trotting day job, LaBrie loves to go camping and boating. I called James via Skype during Dream Theater's recent tour stop in San Antonio to talk about his love for the great outdoors. Our chat also moved into other territory, including skiing, his love for reading, and on a larger scale, the state of our planet. (Photo credit: Mark Maryanovich.)
