* thinks about Sheff in Don't Fall In Love With Everybody You See *
-
I don't think of that as being an album that displays much of a large vocal range. Sheff is a great singer to be sure but I don't think his range matches Sumac's.
-
As far as mainstream pop music vocal ranges, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam has an excellent voice, and actually sounds better live than on record.
I don't think his range is super wide though.
-
jeff buckley had a four-octave range (which apparently is hereditary, as his dad tim had the same range), and it's blatantly obvious if you listen to the title track on "grace." holy shit, that is an awesome display of vocal (and emotional) power.
-
Ronnie James Dio ?
-
There's this guy Jimmy Gnecco who was a friend of Buckley's and sounds a lot like him. Has a fairly good range.

QFT
I saw them when they stopped in Hawaii to open for U2, and after them, I was basically as thoroughly satisfied as I've been with many longer, great concerts. U2 was good, too, for the record. Had to do about nine encore songs because they had postponed their show for a year.
Don't worry, that's all the U2 talk you'll hear from me...

Jeff Buckley's vocal range makes me feel ashamed of myself.
But then Mike Patton's range seems pretty wide?

The things that man can do with his voice is phenomenal. Moonchild is a good demonstration of his vocal skills.

isn't moonchild an iron maiden song?
but yeah, patton's got an amazing range (particularly the lows - he can go RIDICULOUSLY low when he wants to) in terms of pitch, but also in terms of actual timbre. i dont think there's a single singing style that this guy couldn't pull off.

I wouldn't know about it being a Maiden track. It's the name of one of John Zorn's albums- He composed all the music and Patton, Trevor Dunn and Joey Baron performed it.

Or a King Crimson song...
Large vocal range has always been a point of enormous envy for me, particularly on the high end. No doubt this envy is due to my listening to Freddie Mercury extensively while growing up.

Listen to some sophisticated Broadway music by Anthony Warlow, for a taste of well-managed wide vocal range, you fucks.
-
Captain Beefheart could sing in 8 octaves, and he could sing in none of them very well.
-
Damn, I would like to have Serj Tankian's vocal range. Then I would be famous. If I wasn't from some country no one ever heard of...

HELL. YES. I was going to say that as I scrolled down this thread, but you have done so before me. Kudos, good sir.
Also if any of you have not yet picked up the Jekyll & Hyde 1994 Concept Cast soundtrack, DO SO. It is still my favorite work by Anthony Warlow. Pure genius.

Yeah, cause every metal fan knew where Armenia was before SOAD.
-
I don't think Serj's power really comes from his range- he's a pretty classic Tenor-Baritone. It's the fact that he can take advantage of the unique voice he has to make some truly amazing SOUNDS.
I've heard him likened to Tom Morello, but for voice. This video's a pretty good example. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE1qx077Nqk (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KE1qx077Nqk)
And if you've heard him live, its a little apparent that a lot of his vocal stuff comes through studio manipulation. (although not enough for him to botch a live performance)
-
Serj is a douche almighty. He (and, really, the entirety of SOAD) is a ridiculously ardent Armenian nationalist. This results in him randomly shouting, at concerts "fuck the Turks!"
Plus his voice isn't really that high or low.
-
Also the dude uses falsetto quite a lot.
-
One thing about Tom Morello is he's famous for his guitar work wayyy before his vocal work. His vocals aren't anything amazing, just usually deep-voiced male (i don't know much about vocal terms). I saw Serj open for the Foo Fighters back in January, and he was OK, but just that. Certainly nothing special. I don't like his music so, so that might have been it. And watching him dance around on stage and party-boy and stuff like that was stupid haha.

I actually meant that Serj's experiments with vocal sounds reminded me of Morello's work with guitar (although I still have yet to see Serj come up with anything near equal to the sounds Morello coaxes out of that axe).

Jon Anderson/Benoit David of Yes; the late, great Freddie Mercury of Queen; Chris Cornell of Soundgarden/Audioslave (was better by far w/ Soundgarden before he screamed his lungs out); and the late, great Layne Staley of Alice in Chains all had pretty damn impressive range.
-
Ray White - insanely wide range, more on the high than the low come to think of it.

oh god yes! have you ever tried singing "man in the box"? those highs in the chorus are real fucking hard to do strongly.
-
So just because this is proven to incite a riot..
What do y'all think of Matt Bellamy?
-
I haven't really heard much of a low end from Bellamy, so I cannot form an opinion. I will say that the higher he goes, the less oomph he seems to have.
-
Chris Barnes > all
-
i'm not a huge fan of power metal, but i've heard a few songs featuring Timo Kotipelto from Stratovarius, and he's got a helluva range.
-
You know, Elton John actually has a pretty decent vocal range and controls it really well.
-
I have quite a small range...Well, as in, I really hate singing high. I can go up to middle C, and down to 'bottom G' (not sure whether this is G1 or G2 atm), but my voice hasn't fully broken yet.
-

Not so much any more, since he had those vocal nodules removed.
