How much of his stuff have you heard?

Most of the songs off of his Angra albums, though I'm still missing a handful, several solo songs, and a few songs with Shaaman.

Might be a C6 to be found somewhere in there then...

Sure, I know I haven't ruled it out yet.

Sounds real thin up high though...

He's got a pretty thin voice in general, really...

Was watching Matos' video and noticed this...

Starts in fry obviously, where do you think he switches to full voice? The Eb2 sounds like fry and he's definitely full by the time he reaches G2... that piano is throwing me off though. Might just be G2 in full at the lowest, which is good assuming this isn't "Fairytale" or "To Be".

Three G#2s from "When The Sun Cried Out".

That actually is "Fairy Tale", but it's after what we originally perceived to be the last G2. Good find anyway, but it doesn't mean that much.

Are you sure it's only G♯2 on "When The Sun Cried Out"? Sounds pretty low on "THE".

Eh... a G2 I think but sounds unintentionally fryish.

Makes sense as a G2, but it doesn't sound that fryish to me.

Who else agrees that the G♯5 at 5:15 sounds full?

The note on the OW OW OWs or just after them? 5:14 sounds like it could be a strained full A5... not sure about the G#5 after it. Sounds like the rest of his high notes. Really wish it was higher in the mix.

Hola?

Now HERE's our full G♯5! I included some falsetto at the beginning of the clip for comparison's sake.
