What is Axl Rose's octave range??

[nesquick]

12 octaves, ultrasound

so, The Bee gees using a head voice in staying alive ?

Yes, but it's a bad example, in my opinion, because there is no attempt made to match the timbre of the upper register to the lower - if you hear Barry Gibb(?) singing in chest voice, versus the Stayin' Alive type stuff, you could believe it was a different person. On the other hand, guys like Geoff Tate, and Rob Halford sing that high and clear, but it's a very even transition from low to high. Shannon Hoon is a good example too - he wasn't as technically proficient a singer as those guys in many respects, but it was very difficult to tell where he switched from one register to the other(partially because he had a very naturally high voice, unlike Axl).

Incidentally, what part of what GNR song do you think goes the lowest? I wouldn't count a backing vocal bit when it's indistinguishable from the other parts and from the subjest dunkin experts on.

you prolly weren't asking me but I'd say on "You Ain't the First" ie the "Deep Down Inside" line so i dunno how low that puts him maybe up above 4 octaves...we need your perfect pitch again

"Deep down inside" from you aint the first is an Eb on the Bass I believe, which therefore adds another Octave, so that puts him @ 4 1/2 ?

i think that Locomotive deep part is an A so i think that the line i mentioned from "You aint the First" is a lower note

[deep] Ab [down] G [in] F [side] Eb = G# G F D# damn you're right!
I don't know if this bit would exactly be called "singing" ( for this reason I estimate this to be about his bottom singing note of the day.  maybe I'm wrong. )
anyway,  fact is a fact.
Eb2/D#2,
is even lower than the bottom of a model bass range.

There's no denying that he has a range of 3 octaves plus 3 semitones or above.

I think his lowest vocal is either the "Deep Down Inside" in You Ain't The First, or the low part he sings in Locomotive. It's pretty low, at the end near the "Love's So Strange", he goes so low that its blending in with the music. You have to really listen to it. Its the line "If love is blind I guess I'll buy myself a cane" and he sings that with all three voices like the other parts, but he holds the word "cane" longer than all the others and then he says "yeah" at the end. I think that might be his lowest vocal, like I said its so low that it pretty much just blends in with the music.

Thanks. as I said above, I'm leaning toward the idea that "Deep Down Inside" was the lowest then.

It's a toughie to distinguish the bass vocal from the bass guitar on locomotive.
I think "cane" is B2 and then it goes like
Love Ab is Eb  so Eb strange B--- if he sang this B as B1 in unison with the main vocal, well it is lower than D#2..... B1  but....I donno if he did. I can't really hear the note.

he`s singing it`s so easy pretty low these days...
