Lap Of The Gods is a high A (880 Hz), which is really high but something both Roger and Freddie hit several times (Black Queen, Great King Rat...).

Well, I tested it on my piano? :b
I think its different for vocals than it is for instruments. And I also think it changes from country to country.
Middle C on piano is C3, but on vocal it's C2, I guess.
Lowest note on a normally tuned guitar is an E3. That would mean a bass is E2. If Roger sang a D2 he sang lower than a bass.

^ REPLY TO THE POST ABOVE ME (Quoting took up needless room, in my opinion).
I was confused by the numbering - but it's like this...
This thread is dominated by calling Middle C "C3" (on a piano I have always learned this is C4). A C3 with this notation and a C4 with the piano notation I learned would be the same note. Which I guess is why Hz are employed to avoid confusion.
So, the "D2"/"D1" (depending on system used) is the D that is almost two octaves below Middle C. This is certainly reachable for some men - and is in the range of the typical Bass singer.
Listening to "Action This Day" - I can hear a low rumble (presumably the Bass D) along with the Tenor-range D dominant notes.
It sounds "right" to be called a 73.4162 Hz note to my ears - sounding like a machine-generated tone of that frequency.
The only thing I would wonder is how the Bass-range D was produced (technique-wise).

Maybe he'd just woken up, or he had drunk loads of beer.
When you just wake up it's impossible to sing an octave lower than your normal voice.
Even when you have a bad cold it's hard to sing over 5 semitones lower.

I just wonder how these guys can have vocal range covering like... several octaves, falsetto excluded.
Is it due to vocal training? Does anyone know how to expand your vocal range?

Actually it's not something exceptional: Roger's range spanned about two and a half octaves (excluding falsetto and the aforementioned D1 which is indeed a special case), which is indeed a little larger than an average singer's, yet nothing superhuman whatsoever. The greatest qualities in Taylor's voice are the fact that he's powerful, has a very nice quality, is very versatile and is 99.99% of the time in perfect pitch.
nonsence, he was superhuman.
all 4 members were Gods. Especially Freddie... He was like the Zeus of Queen

If you are wondering for yourself - learning how to use your head voice will probably greatly expand your range if you have not perviously been using it. By learning how to do this I've personally "unlocked" a full ovctave.
If you don't have access to a music teacher, those "Day-dah" thingies that Freddie does are damn good for getting in the head voice.
