Who has the best vocal range?

[Here It Goes]

Just wondering who you people think has the best range of any current singer (Andrea Bocelli excluded...he wins.) Talking rock bands here.

My vote goes to whoever this dude is from City Sleeps, check out the notes he hits from 2:20 - 2:50 of this absolutely terrible video... the guy goes through 3 octaves in this song and doesn't hit falsetto once, that is straight high voice action.


ZPNbSlklxZ0


Also, who do you think has straight up the best voice? My vote goes to Jason Vena, formerly of Acceptance. That dude didn't have an insane range, but man, he could put a room full of crying babies to sleep. I'll never figure out why he quit.

[xglassjawx]

The guy from ATDI/TMV

Daryl Palumbo
Greg from TDEP

[Here It Goes]

Cedric is pretty wicked agreed. Sad to say, I've never even heard Daryl P. I'll fix that right away.

[KyleMcr]

woah, so you like ATDI, but you've never heard of glassjaw??

[PRoman]

Antony Hegarty
Zach Condon
Katrina Ford
Tunde Adebimpe

[Here It Goes]

woah, so you like ATDI, but you've never heard of glassjaw??

I've heard of Glassjaw, just never checked them out until today. And I'm not really all that impressed. Palumbo can't hold a candle to Cedric BZ.

I think Casey Crescenzo is my favorite vocalist. The things he does give me chills sometimes.

well all his picks are awful, but Thomas Erak is unforgivable.

[Chromefox]

And just in case I see a million "OhmyGANTHONYgrEEn" posts; "range" doesn't only mean that you are able to sing like a chipmunk, or that you have a clear voice. This is more looking for a number of octaves, or the ability to sing baritone, tenor, alto, falsetto, etc.

Thom Yorke has a good range.

[DaveZeroZero]

technically, more than one thing is a range.

Oh yeah what makes your band so great?

[absolutecrunk]

I'm pretty confident I could out-sing Craig Owens if we were to ever have a sing off. Show tunes only, though. I don't dig on screaming.

Edit: no one on this site will ever meet me in person, so screw it man I can out-sing mariah carey too.

I didn't say my band was great, I said we are sincere, get your fucking adjectives right. I don't even hate Chiodos, but there is nothing sincere about:

From behind, whisper in your ear, 'stop screaming'
Taste my knife
Tears scatter red, you're still bleeding

So until you can prove to me that a Chiodos lyric has anything to do with how I feel than fuck off. And don't try to tell me that those lyrics are relevant to Craig's life.

P.S. The Starting Line are douchebags.

[ForeverDelayed]

Well, not really "current" in that they've been around forever, but the first two to come to mind were David Bowie and Jon Bon Jovi, and they're both still making music, so I'll go with that.

David Bowie can really do it all - low, high, whiney, screamy, gritty, a great voice for rock, pop, whatever. I don't know the technical stuff, but judging by his albums, his octave range is huge, and he clearly pre-dates auto tune. I don't know if his more recent stuff is a good representation of his voice, but his 70's stuff is probably second only to Freddie Mercury.

Bon Jovi's voice is a little more limited as far as sounds and timbres and whatnot, but his octave range is just as huge. Try singing along to some of their more pop sounding stuff, more than likely he can sing way lower and way higher than you could ever hope to.

Why should he write lyrics that make you feel something. If you want that go fork over $150 to get a song by Max Bemis. Maybe he wants to release his inner demons with Chiodos. Personally I prefer Cinematic Sunrise.

Are you really 30? "ForeverDelayed" you got that right! Haha, I'm kidding it's nice to bring some new perspective to the forum if you are. I agree with both of these choices. Bowie's voice is like Iggy Pop's in that it can dip and drag or it can belt if it wants to.

And if you've ever tried to sing the chorus to Livin On A Prayer after the key change, you truly understand the unbelievable height of JBJ's range.

[chipdip18]

Super unfortunate.

Correction: He should write lyrics that make him feel something. What the fuck is that supposed to do for him? And fuck Max Bemis, Say Anything is equally bad, maybe worse. The Starting Line are douchebag preachers who tell people how to live by telling them to live there own way. Yeah, go let a major label shape your image and buy you clothes, then hype that shit to everyone you know.

Cinematic Sunrise is 1100x worse than Chiodos.

Die.

[bobby runs]

Really you're gonna say that about TSL? Really? Really?

Their major labels did absolutely nothing for them besides provide money for a record and release it. Oh and make one music video that did nothing. Another big key factor for me liking TSL so much is Kenny Vasoli who is now doing shit his own way and its so much better.

He's fucking amazing. Great choice FD.

[ForeverDelayed]

You get an a for effort, but Jon Bon Jovi is a tool, and why you would even mention him is beyond me, lol.
Because the question was "who has the best range?", not "who is your favorite singer?" Whether you like him or not, you've gotta admit he can flat out sing. And regardless of his personality, Bon Jovi were pretty good up until the mid 90's. This whole "comeback" phase really sucks and I kinda tune him out these days, but up through the Keep The Faith and the new songs on the best of CD, they were doing some good stuff.

[JimGray]

Why is Jon a tool?
He's fucking amazing. Great choice FD.

Don't get me wrong I have respect for him, I just think he makes music for the wrong reason. Dude can sing.

[Broden Terry]

Don't get me wrong I have respect for him, I just think he makes music for the wrong reason. Dude can sing.

I'm sure if he wanted to, Jon could stop making music because he has shitloads of money.
He makes music because he wants to create a record which satisfies both him, the band and their enormous fan base. I don't see him making music for all the wrong reasons.

[ForeverDelayed]

Don't get me wrong I have respect for him, I just think he makes music for the wrong reason. Dude can sing.
I'm not a big enough fan to know why he got into music and whatnot. I always thought it was the whole "get out of working a shitty 9 to 5" thing, based on his lyrics. If so, I can't say I blame him.

[JimGray]

Money. At least now it is.

[Broden Terry]

Money. At least now it is.

You don't think he has enough? I mean Bon Jovi still sell an estimated 3-4 million on each release since 2000. They've sold over 125 million records, they still sell out arenas worldwide.
I really don't think money will be an issue for Bon Jovi again.

[ForeverDelayed]

Money. At least now it is.
Who knows, maybe. But let's be honest... if someone offered to pay you millions of dollars to make music, would you turn it down? Most people wouldn't. And even with people who make music "for the money" that's not the only reason, they do actually love making music. It's like the dream job that you would do for free anyways, but when someone gives you a check you don't exactly complain either.

Holy tit, this thread went down the crapper.

1) Nic Newsham, dude from Deas Vail, great vocalists. Kudos to whoever brought those up.

2) Whoever the hell comes in here and hates on both Say Anything and Chiodos for being "scene bands" needs to grow a pair. Dude, the only reason anyone uses terms like "scene bands" is because of close-minded, pidgeon-holing ass hats like yourself, so go eat a cock sandwich. I, like many others, enjoy music from a variety of "scenes", and if it weren't for people like yourself, there wouldn't be scenes at all.

3) Bon Jovi may have a good voice, but the dude's faux swagger just kills it for me. That and the fact that every mid-30's acid-wash jean wearing soccer mom with a stanky perm gets their 12-year old kid's hair cut so he looks like Bon Jovi. This, strangely enough, is what bothers me.

4) I think Craig Owens has an insane voice, but I can only take so much of it. An entire concert might bother me.


edit: Then again, I guess I just defied myself with the Jon Bon Jovi comment. Ah....OK he has a good voice. My brain just exploded with that revelation.

But yeah, I didn't list him because, well, he's dead. Kinda hard to be current when you're currently not alive. But man what a voice!

[Here It Goes]

Who is Brent Manning?

Definitely not Will Puke from Cartel. He may have decent range but he's got the voice of an 11 year old girl.

[Piplicioushhll]

Daniel Weyandt has always been one of my favorite singers, I really love his voice. He has a good vocal range if you listen to the right stuff.

[summer skin]

The dude from bedlight for blue eyes.

Or im angry that you like a crap band like The Fall of Troy.

[theguy77]

Who is Brent Manning?

Definitely not Will Puke from Cartel. He may have decent range but he's got the voice of an 11 year old girl.

just a guy who is known for having a range of 8 octaves. most people can do like 3, maybe 4 if you're talented. hes mastered the voice in between falsetto and chest voice that most people cant find, and he can hit notes that are in like a whistling range (but not whistling with air, actually using your chest) and there are very few people who are even capable of that. in all the ranges he has complete control over the notes hes hitting too.

[El_Jeffe]

is this just anyone who's alive in music like:
van morrison
toots hibbert (toots & the maytals)
stevie wonder
joseph shabalala (ladysmith black mambazo)
zap mama
mavis staples

or people who are from the last decade or two & might be mentioned on ap once in a while like:
victor ruggiero (the slackers)
beres hammond
xavier rudd
harrison stafford (groundation, rockamovya)

ok, it's usually me mentioning the above on ap, but seriously.... great voices!

lol true

[JimGray]

Grace Potter.

[loj]

The high parts inbetween 2:20 and 2:50 pure auto-tune, I bet he couldn't hit those high notes live, at all.

yea, hate to join in the cliche choir but this is correct.

[showbiz]

Matt Bellamy..

/thread

[absolutecrunk]

Matt Bellamy almost always goes into falsetto. He has a nice voice, but range is not so much.

[Indoor Living]

Cedric from Mars Volta & ATDI.
Matt from Muse

[Nobodyhearsyou]

You have got to be kidding me if you dont say anthony green and Cedric

[Nobodyhearsyou]

Craig owings has nothing on anthony green.

[absolutecrunk]

Best vocal range =/= highest voice though and I think a lot of people ITT have this confused. Like Anthony Green, ATDI guy, Claudio Sanchez, and all sorts of other guys can sing plenty high, but can't sing plenty low and thus do not possess much range.

Yet another reminder how stupid most people on this site are.

Fuck your stupid scene bands.

A quick google search reveals A Brazilian women called as Georgia Brown has an 8 Octave vocal range.

That is the correct answer. There are no opinions, no subjectivity.

She sings along to that one Outkast cover of 'My Favorite Things'. That voice is unreal.

That Xavier Rudd song you sent me came on shuffle the other day - struck me so much. Reminded me how I need to buy an album.

[Regards]

Yeah she makes noises I didn't know humans could make. The guy with the lowest range is even crazier cause he makes notes humans can't hear.
The brown note?

[DaveZeroZero]

I was being sarcastic. I usually want to punch a baby all the time.
I don't want to punch babies, I just want to have violent sex with them instead.

Basically correct. Which is why a guy like Matt Bellamy doesn't really count because, while he has a good voice, its mostly falsetto. AKA, false.

Also, I checked out that Brett Manning on YouTube... he's in falsetto half the time too. Not really all that impressive.

falsetto counts dude thats part of your vocal range. its not like anyone can hit any note imaginable if you use falsetto, there are still distinct limits, most men cant even get close to brent's highest note in their falsettoes. not to mention the whistling register, which is ABOVE falsetto and which very few people are capable of using.

[Miss Heartcore]

dustin kensrue

[timbedinosaur]

i think his vocals are good, but we're talking range here. he doesn't have a wide range really.
He's done basically every type of vocals and he can hit high.
but if you wanna go like that

Pretty sure Dustin Kensrue does not have an 8 octave vocal range.

Definitely not. Isn't four or five the biggest?

Yeah. I have a decent falsetto so I didn't find it that mind-blowing. If you watch the video to that City Sleeps song at the start of the thread, you'll notice that the singer is singing WAAAAY high, not even using falsetto... THAT is what I found insane. I can't even come close to those notes.

[Here It Goes]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t9-CS2v8wcc

This is creepy.

That was really gay, but that guy has a deadly range. He only goes into falsetto right at the highest notes. Actually quite impressive.

Definitely not. Isn't four or five the biggest?
No, 8 is the biggest recorded.

I didn't say high voices are gay. My voice goes pretty high, and I like having sex with women.

His song choice was gay. Also, singing the women's part better than the original singer was pretty gay.

also, most power metal bands require a gay vocalist to be in the band.

But... the Nintendo keyboard riffs are so epic!

Power Metal should be renamed to "Motivational Metal".
The music is always about soaring like eagles, and it's exactly that kind of can do attitude we need around the office. You're hired!

Aaron Gillespie gets over shadowed in underoath but has crazy vocal range. Shits all over Most others. Not to mention when you add in his drumming talent. And recording all the intrumentals and vocals for the almost by hmself. (besides some of the bass).
