I feel so bad for James when he hit that B♭5 in 1998, if only he knew that a range forum would determine that he has a 3 octave and 11 semitone range I think he would have pushed himself and got the half step up to a B5 so he would be considered cooler on TRP

I feel more bad for the fact that he didn't speak down to A1 strongly enough in "Loverman" for this forum to deem it countable :cry: He will forever be a less than 4 octave beta loser like Chris Cornell, Bruce Dickinson and Freddie Mercury, forever chasing the glory of superior singers with 4 octave ranges such as William Shatner |

That's not what Kewis' sarcasm is in relation to. They're on about the change in notwatching standards over the years

He has some pretty epic F♯4s actually, aside from the ones in "The Outlaw Torn", there are also really good ones in "Loverman" and "Damage Inc.", to name a few. In general, I would say that's the point in his range where he really starts putting power into notes and making them sound more intense. As for there being lots of songs that go above that note, that's been true about many other singers notewatched on here (especially ones whose highs start as low as E4 or under) and hasn't really been seen as a reason not to do so in those cases. Also, the fact that it would be smaller than the G4 section really doesn't matter - some singers just happen to go for certain higher notes more than "lower" high notes (for instance, the G♯4 section of this thread is smaller than the A4 section, but nobody's complaining about that). A few of my threads have ended up that way too, but I don't think it matters as long as the point where the notes start at actually sounds like a high note for the singer. Though this debate was long time ago and seems to be finished, I'd really say still worth keeping it, think I'm inclined to being agree with Henny in this one, I do think F♯ is a good point where Hetfield basically starts with his higher ones with that pretty much characteristic wild intonation, where his belted 4th octave notes commence to acquire his typical savage style since their beggining til the date. Also keeping in mind his vocal range on the last years, where he usually cannot sounds that good as before in his higher range (I mean, yeah, there are many instances even after his 50' where he does random 5th octave notes on an vocal line that originally does not have that high pitch but many of them are just brief exclamations easier to reach for the impulse of the singing in question, but honestly I'd say practically there's no money notes above F♯4, with that force and standout performance on the last years. Probably in the first albums I'd agree with G4 as a good starting point with his higher ones, but keeping in mind his material on last almost 20 years I'd say, no. Many reasons provided for justify the beginning of his highs at G4 is because "many songs goes higher than that pitch" but that's not the point. Cause in a notewatching job, the intention is not just put the highest and lowest note on a song or yes? intention is to show most important and standout notes from an entire song, not just highest pitch, also maybe lower pitches but with good reached notes as well (maybe more than highest) so the fact he usually goes higher than F♯4 is null, cause that' not the purpose on a thread. His lows starting on G4 looks a bit forced if you see it (at least comparing it with other thresholds from other threads, where it's very appreciable how people almost start two octaves lower than highest overall note to make notorious that changes on vocal registers, techniques and money notes (that was other reason to justify it, that "there are few money notes by him on F♯4") thing that is false; there are some good examples on that pitch with him hitting F♯4 with a very good sound and even more than G4s ones are bolded here that were pointed out by Henny as well. I could continue with this, but don't know it that's worth since maybe all points I offered are not to the liking of fellows. |

I think G4 is a better starting point than F#4 because the F#4 section I think would be a lot smaller than the G4 section, and so it would seem extraneous, it would be largely redundant, and he doesn't treat them as money notes as much as G4 or higher.

Hey look, a C♯5! Not great tonally speaking, but he hits it.
Vocal warmup from the S&M documentary (5 min mark). There's more vocal warmups at 22:35.

New Metallica song! G4 in the verses and there's some nice (potentially bold-worthy?) A4s in the chorus. Kinda sounds like an old-school NWOBHM tune, I dig it!  |
