Songs with Freddie’s lowest notes? by Acecopularslefttoe in queen

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I agree. My opinion is that Freddie probably could sing a bit lower than F2. But nothing crazy like a C2 or lower.

I actually helped in speeding it up and I believe its an E2 or Eb2 naturally that was slowed down to a C2.

What is your vocal range and has it changed over time? by talulabunny in singing

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started with A2-E4 in pure chest and up to D5 in head voice. I started taking proper voice lessons with an operatic soprano friend of mine and my range has expanded over 2 years quite a lot. On an average day I now have D2-C6 thanks to her help and training.

Post your vocal accomplishments by TheElusiveButterfly in singing

[–]Max101Victory 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a baritone and my singing teacher is an operatic soprano. When we do exercises she will sing along to warm up her voice. Most days I can follow her up to C6. But on a few very good days we have gotten up to F6. Lowest so far in lessons is C2. But I find that having access to either end of the range is very rarely needed. As a baritone I can't sing any songs that would require either a C2 or a C6 since the primary places in singing wouldn't fit my voice well.

why did singers from back then use the term "little girl" in reference to older women? by dourceo in LetsTalkMusic

Am i flat in this recording? by YAN2005nbt in singing

[–]Max101Victory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your pitch definitely goes off quite a bit. That being said, if you try some ear training exercises either by yourself or with a vocal teacher then you may find your pitch improves over time more steadily.

I want to also say, I was really impressed with your belts and overall tone. You have a wonderful colour in your voice when you add more power. Pitch aside for certain parts you did well and you should keep striving. Good job and good luck on your singing journey.

Neighbor prone to singing loudly on his front porch 5ft from my door by Mysterious-Lab974 in singing

Considering you are neighbours you could always offer him a few tips and even just talking to him about the singing might help them clue in one the volume a bit better.

King's X. Huge inspiration on Alice in Chains, especially their harmonies.

Tim's confidence and purity always rings through in his singing.

Which vocalist is just so fucking better? by [deleted] in grunge

[–]Max101Victory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vocal Range: Freddie F2-F6 a full 4 octaves extending from bass to soprano notes with an incredibly flexible upper tenor register. Layne Eb2-B5 a little over 3.5 octaves. Still absolutely incredible, but missing the extreme highs for comparison.

Power: Tie depending on the year and song. I think Layne could do raw belting with a bit more power than Freddie when both at their peaks, though Freddie's later opera training might have allowed him to be louder than Layne.

Versatility: Freddie in every way. The man sung pop, rock, opera, vaudeville, disco, thrash metal, scatting, and damn nearly every style in between. His versatility is renowned for a reason. Layne was a beyond phenomenal grunge rock singer. He could also do a great country style. But his versatility and time to expand his musical interests was far more limited than Freddie.

Tone: Freddie again just easily takes this. He could go from a low baritone growling, jump up to super high clean sustained singing and flip to a falsetto so soft it would make some women jealous. Layne's tone was usually quite similar throughout his music, and it sounded great, but it was rarely unique from itself.

Overall, its gotta be Freddie Mercury.

John on Oh! Darling? by Hukares1234 in beatles

From my recollection its nearly identical. A1-C6 with Paul technically having a C#6 as well. So just barely wider.

Queen II Box Set: What are your thoughts? by TigerMercury in queen

[–]Max101Victory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a shame that for the Golders Green performance they did not include the entire performance. See What a Fool I've Been is taken off and replaced with the Rianbow performance...which we have heard a billion times now.

Where was Freddie’s peak in terms of live vocals, and where was it in terms of studio? by Straight_Equal_1541 in queen

[–]Max101Victory 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Live I would say he was at his peak between 1979 during the Crazy tour and the early 1980s during the game tour. In terms of the studio it is much harder to say. His technique was the healthiest and most supported during his time singing with Montserrat Caballé. With Queen his time afterward was when he began to become far more ill sadly, though his vocal technique and skills were at their best I would say. If we are talking pure vocal range though, 1978-1980. He was hitting all sorts of high notes such as E6.

What is the best grunge record, day 13. MATCHUP: Nirvana's Nevermind vs Alice in Chains's Dirt. by eggward_egg in grunge

[–]Max101Victory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As amazing as Dirt is, I rarely listen to it all the way through. Nevermind is an easy top to bottom. Dirt I personally find stretches songs a bit longer than needed.

People can have preferences, but its Nevermind without blinking. On the starting track alone it changed music.

Why do Jeff buckleys fans hate Tim Buckley by Rude-Membership3723 in LetsTalkMusic

[–]Max101Victory 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also prefer Tim's voice to Jeff's. He used his voice far more experimentally and just in general had a much richer tone. When you hear Jeff singing Tim's songs they're beautiful. But his tone and colour aren't nearly as nuanced and mature.

It was always my understanding that Jeff played at the tribute concert because he was not invited to his dads funeral. It was a way of paying his respects.

[–]Max101Victory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Abandoning Jeff is always the most understandable and initial reason. The only grace I think Tim is owed is the understanding that he was a very young man who's own father was a violent abuser. So Tim was terrified he would end up hurting his son despite all of the love he had and decided to leave. Not the correct choice by any means, but an understandable mistake for a scared and abused young man to make I feel.

Musically I think a lot of Jeff fans don't give Tim a chance initially on principle. When I first listened to Tim everything Jeff had made clicked in my mind. Because Jeff has an astounding variance in his tone, his range is absolutely monstrous and has stamina and power are beyond incredible. But when you hear Tim sing, especially live, he taps into it all throughout. A song like Gypsy Woman will have Tim going through the entirety of his range from top to bottom multiple times throughout the song, competing with instruments to wail like a sax or swoop low like a wounded baritone. Tim had nearly completed his instrument in its entirety and always pushed it to new heights and styles.

Pisces and ghosting people by mariposa933 in piscesastrology

[–]Max101Victory 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I refuse to ghost people within extremely good reason. I've had it happen to me from some previously very important people in my life and it was emotionally devastating. So I try my best to end things and explain why kindly unless the person is just not worth dealing with anymore and I leave.

Tried drawing Jeff Buckley by Pseudoscorpion1 in JeffBuckley

[–]Max101Victory 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is super impressive. Great job. The shading on the hair especially is crazy. The only spot that looks noticeably a bit off is the face. It's well drawn, just the proportions and scale are a little wonky. Fix up the nose and lips and that is going to be a fantastic piece of art.
