So: to sum up - Fred's recorded notes go from 77.82-Hz Eb to 1,318.51-Hz E (i.e. 4 octaves and a minor second). Which is indeed huge. The bad news is that Guiness Records' standards wouldn't accept those records as evidence that Fred actually could sing those notes (especially since the lowest one's varisped to a C) and he wouldn't be included for that reason.Of course, there are many people on the net (mostly YT) claiming they can sing five or six octaves but most of them don't even try to demonstrate it. While some people have indeed covered larger ranges, Fred's one of the very, very few to actually use those notes in the context of songs, not merely to show he could hit them.

Freddie had at least 5 octaves - I am a singer and squeak and painfully produce whistle register, which I'm sure Freddie could have done. His voice was sharp and I'm sure you could have put him to most genres of music and he would have been successful. He couldn't have given a monkey about how many octaves he had because he didn't have to prove anything. He was a subtle mixture of male and female or homo-erectus. The difference is he could put his voice to music and it would be good quality and sell. Many singers who have great fabulous ranges cannot do this.
his ability to sing so many different styles is really what sets him apart from most rock singers. I can't even think of one other singer in rock that could cover so many styles.
His range increased during penetration.
Yes, During the bathroom sessions with Jim his voice got up to 6 octaves[img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]

LoL! I love people with a sense of humour. I despise people who can't take a joke. There will probably be cunts posting soon about that comment about Freddie and Jim, but they can fuck off, right?
Good stuff, this.

Next: Roger's
For the record: Adam co-wrote some songs on his album. Strut, Broken Open, Pick U Up and Aftermath.
And he had also written songs before, like CRAWL THRU FIRE and others that I can't remember right now.
One AMAZING singer.
Unbelievable.

Sloppy, very very sloppy. And he can't shred.
Thank God he can't shred 'cause that'd be one big motherf*ing pile of cheese.
