Four Octave Wonders - Vocal Range
 

Found this on a forum:

Here are the few singers who TRULY have recorded four octaves' worth of full voice notes:

1. David Lee Roth: G1 ("Slam Dunk!", from 1998, "If 6 Was 9", from 2003, and "Let It All Hang Out", from 2003) to G♯5 ("Big Train", from 1994)
2. Peter Steele: E1 ("Haunted", from 1996) to E5 ("Black No.1 (Little Miss Scare-All)" live at the Bizarre Fest, from 1999)
3. Dan Arlie: G1 ("Zoom Zoom" from 1993) to G5 ("Hit Squad", from 1992)
4. Billy Gibbons : E♭1 ("Blue Jeans Blues" live in Texas, from 2007) to E♭5 ("Groovy Little Hippie Pad", from 1981)
5. Ville Valo: F1 ("Killing Loneliness" live Digital Versatile Doom, from 2007) to F5 ("Ode To Solitude", from 2010)
6. Phil Anselmo: F♯1 ("Overthrown", from 2005) to F♯5 ("The Will to Survive", from 1989)
7. Mark Slaughter: A1 ("Old Man", from 1992) to A5 ("Unknown Destination", from 1995)
8. Axl Rose: F♯1 ("There Was a Time", from 2008) to G5 ("Sailing" live, from 2006, "Rocker" from 1984, "I.R.S." from 2008)

When I saw the title on another forum I thought for sure I'd see Freddie Mercury or Robert Plant on the list. I was surprised to see those on the list above.

Falsetto doesn't count. You can wipe most of those "artists" from your list.

Billie Gibbons has a four octave vocal range! I AM LITERALLY DYING WITH LAUGHTER!

WTF? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categor...ve_vocal_range

That's not even right, buts its closer to the truth than the cut and paste bullshit you coughed up.

The Reverand Billy G's guitar doesn't even have a four octave range, you fucking tool.

Aren't you overreacting just a little bit to a non-controversial (or at least shouldn't be) post? lol.

For your Billy Gibbons inquiry:
http://therangeplace.forummotion.com/t213-billy-gibbons

Voice type: Low baritone
Vocal range: E♭1-E♭5(-F♯7)
Best display of range: "Dreadmonboogaloo" (A1-B4)

Mariah Carey is at 5.

Mika is rumored to have a 5.

Matt, keep in mind this specific list is full voice and full octaves only so falsettos wouldn't count or it would include many other vocalists like Prince.

Yep Steel Heart's Miljenko is in the vocal range index.

billy gibons annnd david lee have other singers covering that stuff... in both cases the bass player

Maybe, but maybe not. These guys are pretty obsessive about it. They don't hesitate to exclude and update if they can confirm. The forum is dedicated exclusively to vocals and they "notewatch" discographies, bootlegs, everything spanning years. Look at the index linked above for example, and check anyone's specific threads.

Steve Perry /Journey has a 5 octave range
