"Star A.D.", the chorus has high slided notes, the highest is screamy.

"Happy Birthday", insane performance! Cool

What do you mean "He has also done countless screams, which could be counted as a part of range!"? Like screamy full voice notes, or just non-modal screams? If the former, yes, they could be counted towards his range...if the latter, though, the most those would qualify for is his non-modal range. Seeing how he's already got a C7 there, I doubt any of these "screams" will surpass that!

"Moonchild" with 8 minutes of screaming, I think he changes between falsetto and his full voice, the screams differ from each other sometimes! Smile

"Cuckoo for Caca" with some awesome screams!

"Der Golem", after the low passages he lets out some inhuman screaming. Cool

Alright, non-modal it is...but freaking INSANE! Shocked

**Dance Champion** on Sat Jun 05, 2010 2:55 pm

The "Il Cupo Dolore" note is C5... how anyone can think D5 is beyond me Laughing

This whole song sounds like he's parodying opera singers Laughing

I don't think Patton is a bass-baritone. I guess he's a low baritone or a baritone. His lows aren't that bassy and his speaking voice is fairly high.

**Dance Champion** on Thu Jul 01, 2010 1:23 pm

I thought bass-baritone meant the same as low baritone... man I hate that term so much, we may as well start calling Todd Hall, Merc, etc. baritone-tenors... but yeah low baritone sounds right...

Yeah, I meant low baritone with bass-baritone. It's really confusing when there are many terms floating... Laughing

Goblonaut on Thu Jul 01, 2010 5:33 pm

Yea okay, it's just that, he is listed as a high bass here.

**Dance Champion** on Thu Jul 01, 2010 6:11 pm

Yeah, I'd probably need to hear some more low passages before I'm sure of him being a bass.

*points finger of blame* None of us were using the term "bass-baritone" until YOU came along!

Laughing

Seriously, though, there's no need for things to get so confusing...with the terms we're using here, there's low/standard/high basses/baritones/tenors/altos/sopranos(/contraltos/mezzo-sopranos?) and that's IT. No bass-baritones, no baritenors, no bass-baritenors, no sopraltos...NADA. The contraltos/mezzo-sopranos thing deserves some debate, I think; but not here...TO THE RANGE INDEX!
