Full vocal range:Eb1-A6 Singing range:C2-Bb5

[@hectorcheivz4113]

The Bb5 isn' melodic, his highest melodic is G5 (not in video) Also that Eb1 and A6 aren't countables

[@ShadowKiller571]

do you mean Bb4? Bb5 is really fucking high

[@QuelTipoSulTubo]

What do you mean "full"?

[@QuelTipoSulTubo]

@V O I D I don't think that's actually it, otherwise he wouldn't have put "singing" range below

[@hectorcheivz4113]

@UberCrispy I'm not sure what you're complaining but I'm just saying his sixth and first octave notes lacks with capital letters of control to be counted as part of his range, tho the A6 is really awesome too.

4:20 is outstanding for his age back then

[@davidhenriques9048]

mm youre being very generous with hetfield, he can only do g#4 consistently (still a respectable note for a baritone) and nowaydays i have my doubts, you rarely hear him go behond g4. Hes a great singer thou but those higher notes were just moments he cant sing em consistently, maybe he could when he was younger but not anymore

[@hectorcheivz4113]

Nowdays it's more difficult for him, but for example you can hear a solid B4 in Unforgiven 3 and the live Bb4 (in this video) isn't long time ago

[@davidhenriques9048]

@@hectorcheivz4113 hehe i was actually seeing the bb4 video your talking about, its from 2018, sometimes he can go really high with his trademark "howling" notes, he can still rock the house even after all the abuse his cords have taken, metallica is a legendary band and even thou i dont care much for the new material i feel they have already given more than enough to the world

[@asdadadsaasd]

David Henriques Singer generally not use their top 2 semitone on live performances because you have to be certain for me these notes are A5-Bb5 and is old now may he cannot go anyting above Bb4 maybe A4 because he is use his voice with distortion all the time

[@dylanjwebmusic]

He makes up for it with his amazing low range and warm tone these days. Not many guys have a consistent solid tone around E2-A2 like he does. Maybe they can hit it but not strongly like he can.

[@davidhenriques9048]

@@dylanjwebmusic True he does rock those lower notes and i allways enjoyed his unique grit, theyve put out their share of great songs and albums

@Chonroy Vietnam no. That was james.. u see james voice is more low than cliff. Check out interview 1986 .

[@antoniocenteno1483]

@@NamelessKing.Sun1 It´s Cliff though, even if it was James his voice was lowered in production, that´s very obvious.

What is the note that James sings in Unforgiven III ‘new dawn’s light?’

Of Wolf and Man has a G#5. Pretty sure it’s on “seek the wolf in thySELF”

[@Venezuelangel]

There are several types of Baritone. I don't see the usefulness of a video that just says "Hetfield is a baritone". I mean, he's "somewhere" between James Earl Jones and Bruce Dickinson, but you can't tell me where?

[@hectorcheivz4113]

personally, i prefer not to tell types of voice that are divided yet, (dramatic baritone, light bass, baritenor, etc) each person has different concepts and ideas about each division, to not make confusions, i think it's better just call them as baritone, tenor or bass, without much details

[@sorin_ea6]

he in his late 80s and early 90s seemed like a deep baritone

[@MultiKamil97]

@@sorin_ea6 There is no such thing like deep baritone. You mean probably a bass-baritone.

[@sorin_ea6]

Nekros97 yea pretty much

[@podrickfookinpayne2329]

Baritone is the only voice type classification you need. The type of baritone is irrelevant and imposible to tell since he doesn't sing opera.

Vale, lo tengo en cuenta

[@thequintessential5503]

His vocal range is 5.1 octaves?

[@Squall6575]

thats across his career. His lowest notes are in the 1990s, his highest in the early 80s. In the late 80s, it would have been something like 3.5-4 octaves because his voice was young and and still powerful, but anytime after that when he broke his voice in 1990 and 1993, I suspect it was 3 octaves.

[@kristianeskelund4420]

What about the note in escape bridge? Isnt that pretty low?

[@ReMetallicMusic]

@Chonroy Vietnam Are you sure? It seems very natural and not pitch shifted.

[@marc2000z]

B2

[@Squall6575]

@John Callenbach Its pitch shifted UP Im pretty sure. The whole album is up quarter of a step from E standard. But even then, hetfield sang that note in 2012 and they played Escape half a step lower

[@stonerscience6437]

@@Squall6575 it wasn't pitch shifted. It was sped up from the original tempo.

[@Squall6575]

@@stonerscience6437 yea, but the result of the speeding up is a slight shift in pitch which is why ride the lightning is famously hard to play along to on guitars because it’s just slightly higher tuning than standard E

[@syer3789]

I can defitinly do his lowest notes but I can't go high at all, My highest is Eb4 the memories remain and I struggle do that, any tips for going higher ?

[@dylanjwebmusic]

1. Build your head voice and eventually it will make your chest voice more flexible and bridge into mix voice. A lot of the high notes he's doing aren't really chest they're more of a chesty mix. 2. This is kind of a cheat not a long term solution but if you add more distortion it will enable you to go higher. Use this sparingly though. 3. Diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm
