What is Axl Rose's octave range??

[AxlBaby]

does anyone know? 

[AdZ]

I once read he has 2 more octaves than alice cooper, so if you figure out Alice Cooper's, add 2 to that.

I read 8 octaves, that's amazing

[SON OF A PREACHER]

could somone explain the whole matter like we are 5 year olds? What does it mean 8 octaves? his voice? how is it measured? Like an opera singer or something?
Thanks for making it clear.

"tu prends la note la plus grave, puis la plus aigu, tu mesures la diff?rence et ?a te donne 8 octaves."

Do you understand now?

"tu prends la note la plus grave, puis la plus aigu, tu mesures la diff?rence et ?a te donne 8 octaves."

COULD SOMEBODY ELSE GIVE IT A SHOT ? IM RETARDED I CANT HELP IT. I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ON THIS ISSUE WHATSOEVER.


EDIT: ok Now I get it. Sorry Im slow.

I don't know how to translate it in english. well...it's a question of measure in his voice tone. a measure between his highest notes (nightrain or sweet child for exemple) and his lowest ones (it's so easy). IT GIVES YOU 8 OCTAVES. well that's what I read.

An octave is the distance from one note to the same note at the other end of a scale.? For example, the C major scale has the notes C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C (it's the scale with no sharps or flats).? Note that it begins and ends with the same note, C.? Both of those C's are the same note, but one of them is higher than the other.? That's one octave distance between them.? Now, if you're talking 8 octaves...well, that's the same note, but a LOT higher.

ATTENTION, ATTENTION: This is Mattman's 1000th post!

I heard that Mariah Carey has a 7 octave range. I heard this from a girl who studied singing. I'm not sure if that's true or not but I doubt that Axl has a higher range than Mariah. On the other hand...maybe he does...he can sing pretty low...

It doesnt matter how high you can go, its how high and low you can go.
Since axl can singer lower than Mariah and Axl can sing pretty damn high, he has a better range.
Btw listen to Riyadh from HOB that is damn high.

8 octives is humanly impossible... unless of course you can sing every note on the piano... which is impossible. To give you an idea of axl's range...

the opening notes he sings in "its so easy" is a low Eb... the ending note of sweet child is the next octive up and in rocket queen he hits the next highest Eb at the end. That would be a three octive range... the highest note i've heard axl hit is the high F above the Eb in rocket queen. He hits the F at the perfect crime. I'm sure axl could probably sing the low a below the low e in its so easy.... i'd say axl has around a three and half octive range.

I've taken 10 years of opera so I know what i'm talking about

"With the loose, blusey rhythms of bassist Duff McKagan and drummer Steven Adler, and the furious riffs of Izzy Stradlin and the technically stunning soloing of Slash, there was no mistake this was an extremely talented group, however, lead vocalist Axl Rose is the immediate standout of this band. Sporting an 8-octave vocal range that has never quite been the same since this album, the tremendously talented frontman could do anything with any song, many times on the album he sounds like two completley different people, one moment screeching at the top of his lungs, another utilizing a deep, baritone growl."

Thats pretty impressive if in fact Axl's vocal capabilities are as you said they were with that quote

I hate to burst your bubble but there is no fucking way he has an 8 octave range.  Do you realize how ridiculous he would sound singing in 8 octaves?  he doesn't even really sing that high...8 octaves is ridiculous.  don't believe everything you read on the internet kids.

[kj_jive]

sorry to double post but this thread just pissed me off.  4-5 octaves is incredible...Celine Dion for God's sake has a five octave range.  Axl would sound like a eunich singing that high.  Sorry but give me a fucking break...8

[Stupid Head]

There's no fucking way that Celine Dion can sing anywhere near as low as Axl. You are thinking of the high notes, dont forget about the lower notes. Axl can sing pretty high also, so I would say he has more range than Celine Dion.

Nobody on earth can sing in 8 octave! 

[dave-gnfnr2k]

Octave if im not mistaken is how low you can sing to how high you can sing, you guys are forgetting the low range too.
