G♯5 in The Sharpest Lives?

[Gilad]

Don't think that's him, and even if it is, it's not countable

[mrchonghead]

Gerard Way actually doing black metal screams... never thought I'd see the day. They're good too; they top at F♯5s, though they centre at around C5.

[Gilad]

I'm not the best at pitching these kinds of screams. Where do you here an F#5? Highest I'm maybe hearing is Eb5

Actually, you're right haha - the highest note I'm hearing in the passage is around 1:43, and it's around Eb5.

[Puro]

Early version of The World is Ugly, I think this is a C#5 before the vocal fry kicks in.

EDIT 06/06/2022 (since I don't want to overfill the post by reporting one at a time): From the recent Glasgow concert in 30th of May, 2022:

Timestamp to the I'm Not Okay encore, where upon starting the song Gerard screamed a G5 (unclear, maybe F#5? also falsetto I think), an F#5 (also falsetto I think), and an F5 in rapid succession.

[Smitty.]

MCR DROPPED A NEW TRACK
a short G#2, B2's, A4's, B4, and a Eb5 at around 3:54

[Gilad]

Highest I'm hearing for those screams is C5, but they are very hard to discern. Also mega hype

[Smitty.]

I think the B4 in cemetary drive could use a bold

[Osmosis]

I know why the C#5 is bolded but I always thought the sustained A4s in the final chorus of "Welcome to the Black Parade" were the most notable.

youtu.be/9A-7sva0Yr8 look what I found!

[Goober]

I haven't looked through it yet, ill get to it sometime next week unless someone else wants to beat me to it.

[Goober]

I should probably skim through the videos BEFORE I post them.

[Smitty.]

Man that C#5 in Save Yourself is 100% melodic

[Smitty.]

youtu.be/rYtWnSfdSOc At around 2:27 I think I hear the backing vocals In “kiss the ring” get up to Eb5

Two actually pretty good live C#5s here that I just randomly stumbled across.

at 2:45 ish there is an incredible scream

[mole55]

a brief but solid C#5 from 2022

[omarrrrr]

Found a short C3 that goes down to A2 in that same early TWIU demo, right on the "but you're beautiful TO ME"

what about this one, [1] also?



also hearing the linked F#2 get down to an E2, F2 at least? pretty brief though
edit: just saw this discussion in old TRP, sorry

what do you think about this slide to D3 in Welcome to the Black Parade link

[Osmosis]

I'm hearing an E5 here in "Welcome to the Black Parade".

[Gilad]

In the isolated vocals you can hear he doesn't get that high

[Electric Mami]

I can't believe I've been hearing it as E5 for yeaaars without realising it was actually an illusion caused by a bunch overtones (probably). Thanks for the isolated vocals link

[icarusofsillyboys]

G2 here that I'm surprised nobody's ever really paid attention to considering it's from The Black Parade is Dead and is FAR better quality than the F#2 in Mama
