{Questionable Notes}G5 ("I'll Be Fine, Really" [5])
F5 ("Better Than Me" Violent Things version [literally the same note as in Happiest Nuclear Winter just one tone lower])
E5 ("I'll Break Your Arm" [5])
E♭5 ("Small Cuts" [2])
A4 ("Cowboy Song" [2])

C3 ("I'd Be a Punk" New Years Special version[5])
B♭2 ("Little Shop of Horrors" [1])

There are probably some high harmonies during the last part of "Clusterhug" which I can't identify.
There's a lot of backing Vox in "Merry Christmas Everybody" which I'm not sure are Dallon.
There might be some higher stuff in "Didn't Mean To Descend Into The Pits Of Hell", truly difficult to tell since the mix is full of huge reverbs and quite confusing.

[1999]

Just dropping this here for the time being, I'm still missing some Brobecks stuff + I need to check live performances.
If you're aware of any special note or you see something wrong in the thread just say it pls. I wasn't familiar with his pre-IDKHOW stuff.

Also may god help me to find a 2nd octave note lol

[Smitty.]

Lmaooooo
Quick question
Where is the C5 in Vegas lights

[1999]

Ok there is a good question.
I'm quite sure he sang plenty of backing vox on that track, also the fact he's singing live on those as well led me towards including the notes.
Also I see the old thread has backing vox listed on Do It All the Time as a G♯2 and an A2 for Far Too Young to Die (demo).
I was really counting on those but, I didn't find anything near close.

Update 08/12:

"I almost found a countable B♭2 but my common sense told me to leave it outside of the thread, he was right, the note's shit."

[1999]

link, so Dallon is credited for backing vox here, he sings the whole song in the centre of the mix. Then we have this voice on the right which appear and sings some B2s, but, I can't really tell if that is Dallon or not.
Bear in mind the song is 15 years old, his tone was much different at this time.
I'm quite dubious though, cause if you go ahead and listen to the whole ending, the same voice is gong down to some spoken G2s which makes me pretty skeptical.

[Smitty.]

I think its Dallon
Sounds like him
His lows weren't always his strong point but I could see it being him

Nice, someone else which has knowledge of the guy's voice wants to jump in???

Help please



-----------------------
Found a legit A2 in Leave Me Alone which is almost impossible to identify from the studio version.
In this performance though you can clearly hear they've been using the studio version backing tracks and the A2 can be heard much more prominent in the mix, sounds pretty consistent too. link

[1999]

I'm hearing a D6 on the right channel, might be a trumpet though, thoughts? link

['S]

The D6 is most definitely a brass instrument, yee

[izziecharlotte]

I'm not sure exactly because I'm not great at any music stuff, but I think that during Clusterhug, when he sings 'we can go to town, we can turn around', on 'around' he momentarily goes down to an Eb3 (again, might be wrong, just going off the pitch I sing that note as whenever I'm home alone singing along to IDKHOW songs)

[1999]

It's an E :smiley:

[1999]

How are we feeling about this section that starts right here and ends at 0.35 approx? link
I'd say F5 is the last "melodic" note I'd count, I might hear higher stuff tho.

Just wondering, what's the highest note in the backing vocals for Mx. Sinister?

[1999]

Should be a D5

EDIT
