Falsetto.

Full voice.

They really are blood-Curdling. Sounds like he's really straining.

Non-modal. Reminds me of Steven Tyler.

Hilarious falsetto at that. He manages to break on the note while already in falsetto. Well...technically "break" would be the wrong word, considering that that implies forcible changing from one register to another, but you know what I mean. He chokes off on it, then slides up to G5 or so, before getting gritty for the note that he comes down on. By FAR not another full F5, though...dear god, no...

Awesome, this definitely backs up the A1 a little, timeline-wise.
