Mike Patton of Faith No More
Corey Taylor of Slipknot
David Lee Roth of Van Halen
Axl Rose

All have more than both which is surprising

AXL ?????


Oh come on.

 

[leedswolf]

Robert Plant.

 

[BillyDee]

Mariah Carey has a five octave vocal range, and most of her stuff has been shit, especially when she starts squeaking.
Didn't fully appreciate Queens music till I was older, but Freddy was a true showman.

AXL ?????


Oh come on.

I know I was as shocked, the bloke apparently has a six octave range, one of the biggest in the business

ps Cannot stand the knobhead myself

How about a bit of minimalism in your front man? Jack Johnson can hit exactly three notes, no more, no less.

BD was known as the air raid siren for a reason. Yes he can't do it quite so much now, but in the mid eighties it was incredible.

Also a superb front man as well.

Shall I kick off an argument about the quality (or lack thereof) of his performance for Live After Death, then?

Ian Brown Lite.

He can't hit any notes exactly.

You can. And you will be utterly wrong.

At least we agree on Beast Over Hammersmith being a superb performance. I have seen Maiden loads of times and Bruce has always been fantastic. Blaze Bayley was fucking awful though.

 

[The Bear]

Ian Gillan must have had a good range on him too.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Child in Time certainly suggests it!

Mind you range isn't everything in a front man. James Hetfield has a VERY limited range. But, like Bruce, he has the crowd in the palm of his hand for the entire gig. And that was Freddie's genius as well.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Ian Brown Lite.

Ian Brown is your archetypal man shouting into a bucket.

But yet a good frontman.

Blaze was always a weird choice for the band and I don't think Harris did him any favors by having him try to imitate Bruce in live performances if Bruce's songs. But hey ho, old ground.

Beast Over Hammersmith is fucking immaculate, end of.

 

[The Bear]

Jack Black's a decent enough front man (considering what type if band he's in) and he has an excellent range too. Master Exploder intro he goes from right down low to like a really high C or G in one breath.

While BD has a greater range, I actually preferred the sound of Paul DiAnnos voice

You can't make 4 or more with a Desperate Dan chin.

 

[Pablowolf]

Michael Hutchence - Pretty fucking amazing front man....and has been dead over 20 years!

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Rob Halford - ridiculous vocal range. Listen to Exciter, Freewheel Burnin' or Painkiller for the evidence.

The greatest metal God to walk the earth !

The greatest metal God to walk the earth !

He's still decent now even though he's about 90

 

[Keef]

Justin Hawkins from the darkness has a good range on him,and they're a fantastic night out.
Re queen,not a fan,did like them when I was younger,but not now,can never forgive them for fat bottomed girls,awful record
