What an absolute monster. Much like Lars (but for WAY different reasons), I’ll always defend James whenever some “metal” dick starts in on him. James has one of the most difficult jobs in all of rock. He may have calmed down a bit with age and he may be flat here and there but consider this. He’s out there every night, playing shows 2-3 hours long and working his way up to at least an E consistently. Never downtuning even a half step. Not only that but he’s continued to do so for over 20 years after a major vocal disaster that nearly ended his career. It takes someone who’s very powerfully gifted to handle that. Very few who read this comment could do so. Especially, ESPECIALLY with a speaking voice that’s solidly baritone.

Dan Mulcahy On a technical level, Axl Rose's singing is extremely difficult to pull off correctly, regardless of what you think of his personality or sound of his voice. So yes, I will mention them in the same sentence, and maybe you should do your own research. Refer to Street of Dreams, for one of his most demanding passages ever; the F#s are incredibly well done. The notes also seem to lack the typically nasally tone of his mixed singing, which is a super plus, in my eyes. I personally wouldn't put him above Freddie Mercury in raw talent, but he is far more technically proficient than Mercury, this is a fact.

On December 29, 1994, LaBrie was struck with a severe case of food poisoning during which he ruptured his vocal cords. He saw 3 throat specialists who all said there was nothing to do except have him rest his voice. However, on January 12, 1995, against doctor's orders, he was on the Awake tour in Japan with his voice far from normal. LaBrie has said he did not feel vocally normal until at least 2002. After the Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence tour he discovered that his voice had fully returned.

LaBrie is one of the elites as well, though not in the same way Allen is; where Allen is stunningly accurate and breathtaking, LaBrie tends to swing between lower-par performance and some of the best performances in the world. Nowadays he's found a middle ground, though, and I personally think he's even better than he used to be back then. If I have to give a clear opinion IMO Allen is consistently better.

@Anonyomus6 жыл бұрын
Occasional voice breaks can be classified as part of the range nowadays? If that's the case that all sounds you can produce can be put into the spectrum of singing range, my range as baritone goes from guttural rumble of C1 to painful squeeling A6, but the usual singing range goes from G2 - C5 or at best D5 in full voice and with Falsetto/flageolet the rest of the scale. But the top and bottom end octaves are not something that sound pretty, but it should be considered as range, right? Right??? So does this mean I have 5-6 octaves of range? I don't think so myself.
