Just found some live B2s here in a bit of "All Shook Up" by Elvis that they go into here:

Plus some D3s at 6:48.


Sounds like this bit gets down to like B2, dunno if that would be worth counting as sung or not though


Sounds like a quick B2 here on "cause we're not the peoPLE you can abuse"


Lead vocal G5 in this version of "Halloween"! Dunno if that would more or less worth listing than the backing ones on the studio version.

So United Alive in Madrid had some interesting finds for Michi, cause like many other later era Helloween live releases, it features them playing a half step down, so that creates some new lows. However, aside from that, it also has him singing on a few Deris era songs! Cool to hear how they worked him into those vocally.


Pretty solid live F2 here!


B♭4s here and a C5 at 1:35.


A4s here, C5 at 1:28.


C♯3s here.

One more note addition for now - seems like Helloween have changed up the vocal arrangements for "Forever and One (Neverland)" on the current tour, so now Deris is actually singing the higher harmonies on the choruses, but Kiske also now sings part of the opening verse and gets to hit some nice lows on it!

B♭2s here.

Do note, if you're note watching Deris or Kai some of the highs might not be them on this or live, let alone Kiske. Sascha actually hits them too. There's a live video of him demonstrating it during the Pumpkins United Tours.

Any chance you still have a link to said video? I just made a range thread for Sascha, though he overall has the least high range to be found of any of the Helloween vocalists. But I'd be curious to hear anything else that might pad it out a bit more.

Kiske is a baritenor. Was a high baritenor and now is a low baritenor.
At least he sounds like it to me...
Kiske has unique voice with seamless timbre in the whole range.
Also from what I hear his range got bigger with time. He remained be able to sing hing notes and added low notes.

Since the 2008 Tour, a note was included at the end of Sign of the Cross, Andre Matos sang it and Kiske too and has done it repeatedly on several occasions but it always happens that the entire final show is covered.
